In Dragon's Dogma 2, you can hire other players' main pawns for both multilevel marketing good and plague-spreading evil. However, it turns out there is a more chaotic and neutral way to annoy other players via pawns. Welcome to the wonderful world of counterfeiting.

There are two things you need to know to understand the above tweet: first, if you hire another player's pawn, you can send that pawn back to the master with the gift. If you are my type, this is usually a scrap of meat or something, but if you had a really good time with the pawn, you can give something more meaningful. Anything.

The second important background is that Dragon's Dogma 2 has a sort of item duping system. These stores are like duty-free stores in medieval fantasy, where one can create forgeries of certain items.

Whether the forgeries have the same statistics is another matter entirely. Sometimes making a forgery will allow you to participate in a quest. Also, sometimes you can get a "wokestone" instead of a "wakestone."

The names themselves are also exceptional: "Seeder's Tokens," "Golden Stove Beetles," and let's not forget: part crystal. They are so marginally different from the real thing that you can miss them if you are tapping your inventory management as fast as possible.

Interestingly, as one player on the game's subreddit discovered, some of these items play animations when used; when attempting to use the "Ferristone," Alicen tries to toss it into the air, but a dud falls and It ends up falling. Instead of magic, the air is filled with a thick smog of dead silence and embarrassment.

So warn yourself. Whenever you get a fancy new item from a pawn's misadventures, be sure to double-check its name.
