Best ways to get Ferrystones, Portcrystals, Wakestones, and Rift Crystals in-game without microtransactions in Dragon’s Dogma 2

Don’t buy the Dragon’s Dogma 2 microtransactions because every item sold can be acquired in-game. It’s the developer’s decision that some items are rare and hard to get, but I’ve been playing Dragon’s Dogma 2 for 30+ hours and have never not had one of the rarer items, like Ferrystones, Wakestones, Portcrystals, and Rift Crystals, when I needed them.

Best way to get Ferrystones in Dragon’s Dogma 2

Ferrystones are a consumable item that is your only way to fast travel in Dragon’s Dogma 2. You don’t need to spend real-world money on Ferrystones because you can find Ferrystones in chests and buy them from shops.

It’s rare to find Ferrystones in chests throughout the game, but it’s not impossible. I’ve found many Ferrystones in chests as I’ve explored the wilds and houses in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

You can also buy Ferrystones from vendors for 10,000 Gold which is a lot, but if you know how to best farm Gold, it’s not a problem. Vendors only sell one Ferrystone at a time, but they restock in time which gives you an endless supply of Ferrystones.

Best way to get Portcrystals in Dragon’s Dogma 2

Portcrystals are by far the hardest item to get in Dragon’s Dogma 2, but in my experience, you don’t need to use them that often. Portcrystals can’t be bought but are sometimes a quest reward and are rarely found in the open world.

Because the chain of oxcarts is such a good system and the main towns already have permanent Portcrystals in them, I only need one or two mobile Portcrystals in Dragon’s Dogma 2 to visit places I frequent frequently. Once I’m done with that area, I pick up my Portcrystal and use it in a new spot.

Best way to get Wakstones in Dragon’s Dogma 2

Wakestones are easy to get in Dragon’s Dogma 2, and unless you’re killing NPCs for fun, you won’t need to use Wakestones that often. You can easily find Wakestones in chests just about anywhere.

Three Wakestone Shards make a Wakestone and you can easily find Wakestones if you have the Trickster Detection Augment equipped. I have that Augment on and it’s incredibly helpful in guiding me toward Wakestones and Seeker’s Tokens.

Best way to get Rift Crystals (RC) in Dragon’s Dogma 2

Rift Crystals, or RC, is the hardest currency to get a lot of. There are several ways to farm Rift Crystals in Dragon’s Dogma 2, but I recommend finding it in chests and Riftstones.

It’s rare for a chest to contain RC, but it’s not impossible. I’ve found plenty of chests containing RC as I’ve explored the wilds in Dragon’s Dogma 2 — you just have to loot every chest icon you come across. Same for Riftstones. Whenever you see a Riftstone in the wild, you get 30 RC for activating it. All of this RC adds up over time.

Again, don’t buy the Dragon’s Dogma 2 microtransactions. These four items are the only items worth buying for real money but even these you can find consistently with time.
