Dragonica Online

Recently I’m been playing this 3D side scrolling game by Barunson Interactive. I found this game through MMOSITE. It is a dungeon / instance base game, where pretty much everything is based around dungeons (i.e grinding, money earning, item farming and questing).

Grinding
At the beginning of the game there’s so many quest to do so it felt like a questing game, however around level 25 I only did main story line quest and the rest I didn’t bother doing. Quest don’t really give anything important or useful later. You’ll get all your items you need through doing dungeons.

Dungeons
This has to be the best part of this game. Everything is pretty much done through dungeons. There are dungeons through the entire game. Each dungeon has 5 levels to it (1-5 star). 1-4 stars are for leveling and farming items whereas 5 star is for the storyline quest. Most people will go to the 4 star map for leveling as it contains the highest number of maps and monsters per map.

At the end of each dungeon is a boss map. After killing the boss, each player will gain items and extra experience points depending on the rank they achieved during the dungeon run. Equipments can only be obtained at the end of a dungeon run. I personally think this is one of the best way to distribute items, there’s no fighting for loots or looting other’s items.

All class equipments (including special ones) are obtainable through dungeons, so anyone can easily farm these items without the worry that someone will kill steal their monster/boss or loot their items. There are a few special items that are only obtainable from bosses on special map (isn’t dungeon base, so bosses are open to everyone on the same map).

Money making
In some MMO that I’ve played, I have found that certain classes can’t really make money because they spend majority of their money on throwing darts/arrows/ or buying potions. This game however is very balanced. Money is earnt mainly from selling items to npc and as I’ve mentioned before everyone will obtain some items at the end of a dungeon run, meaning they’ll get money.

Highly recommended game for MMO lovers, both hardcore and casual players.
