perception Guide

You’ll find in the table below a list the top perception sets in Dawn of the Dragons. Some of them may be obtained only during special events, while some require a decent amount of perception to obtain. Keep in mind that a part of the sets award a bonus if fully worn, while some only give individual advantages.

Runes

Enchanting is an important part of setting up a perception-questing set. Each piece can be enchanted for bonus perception ranging from 300 to 600, for a total increase of 2400 to 4800. In case your enchant yields a result located in the lower limit of the rune, it’s recommended to try the enchant again, even if at a later date.

You’ll find a list of available runes, grouped by the bonus they give to perception. Some of them can be obtained from raids, others from PC chests or special events.You’ll find a link attached to any of the following runes.

300 - 400	Aquatic-Bane Rune, Deathbringer Rune, Dismantler Rune, Dragon-Bane Rune, Dryad Bane Rune, Fun-Bane Rune, Game Hunter Rune, Grash Rune, Holy Rune,Illegible Rune, Initiate's Ire Rune, Insect-Bane Rune, Kerka Rune, Large Target Rune, Mark of the Valkyrie, Militia Rune, Mundane Rune, Qwil-Bane Rune, Siege-Bane Rune, Skeptic Rune, Subvert Goblin Rune,  Subvert Ogre Rune, Subvert Orc Rune, Undead-Bane Rune, Winter-Bane Rune, World-Changer Rune, Xarz Rune
400 - 500	Antifreeze Rune, Abyssal Bane Rune, Killjoy Rune, Red Blessed Item, Red Parasite Fragments, Shend Rune, Subvert Nightmare Rune,
500 - 600	Counterspell Rune, Mighty Conqueror's Rune,

Never used dawn (regardless of color or type) coins, or smashed whelp eggs for enchanting! They are rare and expensive, and may also serve other benefits in a later patch.

Perception boosting potions

You can use all of the potions available to you to boost your perception, as their effect is cumulative. For example, a bronze, and a silver potion will yield a 6 000 increase in perception.

Every potion can be down-crafted into multiple ones. (i.e. gold 2x gold into 3x silver, 2x silver into 3x bronze)
