As you adventure across Vermund and Battahl inDragon’s Dogma2, you will need to find better weapons and armor if you hope to stand a chance against the hordes of monsters that will seek to do you harm. To this end, you’ll become acquainted with the various armor and weapon sellers across the few remaining settlements.

While you won’t always be able to afford the high prices these shops require, these shopping staples work as standard locations where you may always go for more weapons and armor. No matter your vocation, you can find quality equipment to help you further your journey.
