Dragon’s Dogma 2 is finally here, and while many are enjoying the experience, there have been some complaints, leading to a bit of a mini-backlash against the game. One of the issues that’s brought up in a lot of negative reviews on Steam and elsewhere are microtransactions tied to items that provide quality-of-life features like being able to re-edit your character, place warp makers, and more. Now, most of these things can be earned via regular play in-game, but getting them is just difficult enough that some may be enticed to pay real money for them. Here’s the list of the items you can buy with real money or earn in game (there are also a couple of music and sound collections that can only be purchased with real money).
Art of Metamorphosis – Allows player to edit your character
Ambivalent Rift Incense – Allows player to change their Pawn inclinations
Portcrystal - Warp location marker
Wakestone – Restore any party member who’s fallen
500 Rift Crystals, 500 Rift Crystals, 2500 Rift Crystals – Currency to spend beyond the Rift
Makeshift Gaol Key - Escape from gaol
Harpysnare Smoke Beacons - Harpy lure item
Well, much like with DLSS 3 implementation, on PC modders are stepping in to “fix” Dragon’s Dogma 2’s microtransaction problem. One mod, “Crazy’s Shop” adds a new shop to the early-game town Vernworth which offers all the items Capcom is trying to sell for real money in one handy location. Meanwhile, “Early n' Cheap Art of Metamorphosis” does exactly what it says, making the item needed to edit characters accessible for cheap early in the game (thanks to Eurogamer for surfacing these).

Getting around in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is perilous at the best of times.
