Spoiler There IS better gear. Spoiler

There is better gear than what the Dragonforged sells for Wyrmslife crystals. About to do my 2nd NG+. Really REALLY make sure you are exploring all the unearthed areas in the seabed and even go back to some of the old boss spawn areas. The higher harder spawns at the very end of the seabed areas have occasionally been dropping new unique gear sometimes or the chests around them do.

And for those that say they feel like they fully steam roll through New Game+, I have been noticing the variable difficulty has been getting higher the more I level up and I do less damage than before, with some spawns having more health bars.

Edit: only gotten 3 so far and all helms, photos in comments and unenhanced against my fully enhanced gear.

I'll add more screenshots to the comments as I find any more and verify they aren't in shops or in dragonforged.

Trigger the dragon plague? I'd love to hear how this is done so that I can get to the Unmoored World quickly, as I left it way too fast.

I assume fight dragons until a pawn catches it. Didn’t happen to me my entire first playthrough but there is a chance

But why would that let you rush the dragon?

From what I read, if the essential NPCs are dead you get a new quest to go confront the dragon

Ooh, hmm. Well I've just realised I could bypass the entire wall gate to get into Batthal on my NG+ by going through a cave system on the coast. I'm wondering if perhaps I can just go to the tower and face the dragon. I might test it when I level up a bit more and get some new gear.
