In-game currencies are one of the key features of action RPGs that players need to gather to progress through the game. Without the in-game currencies, players will miss the best abilities and weapons available in the game. Capcom’s latest action RPG, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is no exception to this tradition. The moment you start your journey and explore different locations of the in-game world, you will realize, this world is not safe to roam around without proper weapons and abilities. However, not everything can be acquired for free. A lot of things need to be purchased or unlocked using different in-game currencies and one of these currencies is Rift Crystals. 

Dragon’s Dogma 2 features different in-game currencies to spend for different purposes. Players need to acquire each of them through specific methods and spend them accordingly. One of the rarest among them is Rift Crystals. Still, players can’t really ignore finding them. Therefore, if you have been trying to figure out how to get Rift Crystals in Dragon’s Dogma 2, we will try to provide you with all the necessary information. 

Before you start looking for Rift Crystals, let’s check out what these in-game currencies do in the game. 

Dragon’s Dogma 2- Rift Crystals Importance and Use 

We have already mentioned that Rift Crystals are one of the in-game currencies, but as they are one of the rarest ones, players need to invest lots of time and effort to find them. Therefore, the first thing they need to know is the use of these in-game currencies.

Like other in-game currencies, Rift Crystals can also be used to serve different purposes, but among them the most important one is to hire Pawns that are higher than your Arisen’s level. In Dragon’s Dogma 2, players can hire Pawns to serve different purposes. Now, Pawns that have the same level as your Arisen can be hired for free. This same thing is applicable to the Pawns who are lower than your Arisen’s level.

However, the tricky part comes when you try to get a Pawn who’s level is above your Arisen’s. They can’t be hired without any cost. In that case players need to spend some Rift Crystals to hire Pawns who are at a higher level. The more the level difference, the more Rift Crystals need to be spent. 

Apart from that, Rift Crystals can also be used to purchase some cosmetic items for your Pawns, Scrolls for them and “The Art of Metamorphosis,” which help players to change the appearance of their Arisen and Pawn characters.

Now that you have received the detailed use of Rift Crystals in the game, let’s check out the possible ways to get them. There are a few ways to get Rift Crystals and below we have listed them all:

Explore the Open World of the Game

In the open world games, exploration plays an important role. Most of the in-game items are found through exploring the in-game world. Therefore, try not to skip locations when playing Dragon’s Dogma 2. The more you explore locations in the game, you will find chests that have a chance to give you Rift Crystals. 

Chests are commonly found in the game and almost everywhere players will find a few chests that can give them valuable in-game items including Gold, or crafting items. Even though it’s a rare case, still players can sometimes get Rift Crystals from the chests. However, if you are lucky, you can get a chuck of Rift Crystals from them. For example, one can receive up to 135 RC from chests. 

Defeat Enemies

The next way to get Rift Crystals is one of the easily assumed ways. In the action RPGs, each enemy fight rewards players with some valuable items. Almost all RPGs maintain this tradition, so, naturally, Dragon’s Dogma 2, won’t be an exception. Though it is not a guaranteed way to get the in-game currency you are looking for, still players can sometimes get Rift Crystals by defeating enemies throughout the world. Again this one is an extremely rare chance. So, if you are lucky, you may get a big chunk of RC by defeating enemies; otherwise, you will get no RC at all from those fights. 

Activate Riftstones

From the moment you start your Dragon’s Dogma 2 journey, you will probably understand the importance of activating Riftstones. These Riftstones work as rifts through which an Arisen can hire Pawns and call them to action. They look like a pile of rocks on top of a circular staircase. Almost every settlement of the game has a Riftstone that players need to interact with and activate. 

Each time you activate a Riftstone, you will receive 30 Rift Crystals. So, if one activates all the Riftstones throughout the world, he will have enough Rift Crystals to complete the game. 

Get Pawns that Other Players will Hire

Pawns play a crucial role in Dragon’s Dogma 2. From the beginning, they will be your companion in every situation and help you escape them. Getting a Pawn requires in-game currencies, but if other players hire your Pawn through Riftstones, you will get a compensation price based on the time the other player hires your Pawn for. However, this compensation is hardly below 100 RC. Therefore, you can easily guess that this is the most convenient and fastest way to acquire Riftstones.

For this, players only need to get Pawns with powerful abilities, so that they can stand out of others. Only then, other players will hire your Pawn through Riftstones and you will receive the compensation. In this way, if one of your Pawn gets hired by other players multiple times in a few days, you will get a huge amount of Riftstones to make your journey smoother. You can let other players hire them by upgrading the appearance and stats of the Pawn. So, it looks appealing to other players. 

These are the ways to get Rift Crystals in Dragon’s Dogma 2. For now, we have found no other way to get these in-game currencies. Though we have mentioned the final method to be the fastest one to get RC, this is one of the toughest ones among all.
