A few questions regarding Dragon Bone weapons.

Hello, I'm new to this game and so far I'm enjoying it besides the performance issues that turns the game into a slideshow lol. I have some questions about the DB weapons...

1- Are they end game viable?

2- Do they have a chance to drop from all the dragons or only a specific dragon?

3- Do I need to have started Tyranny of Dragons to get them to drop?

Hmm, that's about it. :)

    1. Highly doubtful since they are only blues, i only just hit 60 so haven't really touched endgame yet.
    2. All the dragons can drop them as far as i know.
    3. Nope, i got mine before i started the campaign.

    For Clerics, the Dragon Bone Icon is the best pre-epic dungeon offhand you can grab. I highly recommend leveling with one. It's one less gear slot you have to worry about keeping upgraded to keep pace with your level as you quest and besides the epic Unicorn/Drake offhand and the drops in T1/T2 there's not much else available to you as a fresh 60.

    The Drake Token items are better than Dragon Bone. Maybe invest in it, but if you're a cleric, you're really needed and can dungeon faster plus if you have a tank, survivability should be easy.

    They are good till you get T1 items, but as was said they are only blues. The biggest point in them is that they level with you.

    This is true, can use them to transmog your gear, or sell them for a fair amount (maybe not now) i know i sold my longbow for 100k and bought my halberd for 90k

    I have yet to see a dragon drop anything. Heroic dragon fighting a plenty, doesn't seem to drop anything. Is it a case of only the last player to hit or his group gets drops out are they just that bloody rare?

    You get something from every HE/Dragon fight. You just need to collect it. Use the select button to change focus the the Heroic reward banner and collect them. I say them because you likely have many waiting for you. Luckily they stack if you do not collect them.

    If you are level 60 this also the same way you collect those rewards.

    To help with your odds of getting the weapon/gear
    1. Damage
    2. Heals
    3. Raising downed players
    4. Killing dragon as fast as possible.
    I farm the dragons for end game, PM for supplies on AH
    If I should die on some far, far away battlefield
    Know I answered the call
    For a grand principle of freedom to yield.
    My fervent prayer is that death
    May not have been in vain

    I bought the Dragon Bone Blade for 15 k and went to kill a dragon. When it died, a Dragon Bone Blade was received. I kinda laughed at myself and put it up in the Auction House for what I paid for it. Someone else bought it. When I hit 60, I opened my Hero of the North weapon so I don't really need the Dragon Bone Longbow anymore now. The more these weapons appear in circulation, the cheaper they will become.

    I've gotten coins and enchantments from the banner after the fight. Is that where I would find dragon bone drops too?

    It's a small chance to get the items along with the coins.

    Ya, i got ridiculously lucky and got mine on my second or third dragon kill around level 32ish. So nice getting all the way to 60 without having to worry about my weapon. I almost vendored it a few levels after getting it (thanks to the crappy recommended tag on items) before i knew it scaled, i am so glad i googled it before doing that, i thought it was just like any ol weapon that just drops at your level. They really should give scaling gear like the dragon bone ones a unique color to make them stand out from other gear.

    But i really wish they gave other stuff as rewards as well like level appropriate potions and injury kits and a chance to drop the other campaign currencies like the dragon sigils or just a random piece of gear even if it is the same stuff other things drop. And possibly even make the first kill a day of each dragon give astral diamonds. Kinda sucks dying a few times during a dragon which costs a pretty penny from the injury kits and get next to nothing in return for killing it other than semi useless coins, then again the only reason i die as much as i do is the lag and being melee and when combined means by the time i actually see the aoe circles show up it is already too late so i get dropped like a rock and sometimes i end up dying out of nowhere and the circle shows up after i am already on my butt.

    Dragons can drop some very nice things (other than the weapons)...

    All I got for my GWF is the DB sword knot and the cult of the dragon tunic and a truck load of dragon enchantments and coins, but I'm also after the "kill 1000 dragons" achievment. That's gonna take awhile....

    They should totaly make DB armor.

    I actually got the Cleric Dragon Bone Item last night and I was amazed that it was really close to my T1 item as far as stats.

    And on the second dragon kill I got a Purple Draconic Arm piece for a Cleric. It is actually a really good piece.

    Best way to get them is do the daily quests for the Campaign and kill the dragons for the quests. Aside from farming just dragons which I dont do personally.
