The dragoon job only has a C- in sword skill which caps at 220, not a C+ at 230. Also if I'm not mistaken, the Defensive wyvern will use a healing breath when the dragoon casts a spell and ANY party member is at 1/3 HP or lower. --Raithen 18:36, 22 January 2007 (MST)

Wyvern Job Traits
Removed the attack/accuracy bonus from the wyvern's ability list, as it's completely unfounded. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vail-siren (talk • contribs).
Supposedly, wyverns are DRGs themselves, thus getting the Attack Bonus at level 10, Dragon Killer at level 25, and Accuracy Bonus at level 30 (and whatever level the 2nd one is at). I haven't seen any tests to prove this, so I've put verification tags on the traits in hopes someone will perform some. The only fact going for it right now is that the wyverns have Dragon Killer, which as Dragons, they shouldn't have. ~ Karuberu 22:51, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
Makes sense for them to have traits of a Dragoon since they mimic their masters. BG tested a while ago that every animal type mob has a job class which assigns the mob's attributes and job traits. Most enemies for example are WAR/WAR, rabbits,Dhalmels,Sheep etc.. Crabs are PLD/WAR and Beetles are PLD/WAR which is why they gain defense at certain levels and have MP pools.
Sea Puks are DRG/DRG as they do not double attack like other animals, but their family type is dragon so they are both intimidated and are able to intimidate dragoons. The same can be presumed for Dragoon wyverns. Dragoon Wyverns are a mob therefore require a job class. It's safe to say they're Dragoon types since they can intimidate dragons starting from level 25. One can then presume they have Attack Bonus and Accuracy Bonus as well. It is impossible to test for those traits on a pet because their accuracy formulas are different than players.

I know Wyverns have Dragon Killer, but I'm not sure it's because they are Dragoons. Sure, it makes sense, but we can't go purely on that. If someone can prove that wyverns do not have Dragon Killer until level 25, then that would be enough to remove all the verification tags, otherwise they need to stay on. Also, I've never had a Puk intimidate my wyvern, I'd like to see a screenshot of that (a link to a discussion would also do). ~ Karuberu 15:35, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
Presuming something doesn't mean it's accurate enough to say something has said trait. Monster's attack/acc ratios can and have been tested. Please don't go around saying something has a trait/ability unless you got some data to back it up. (Vail-siren 06:11, 29 August 2007 (CDT))
/DNC Wyvern
I have just added dancer support job (/DNC) to the Offensive Wyvern category. I confirmed this just recently. Weaponskills triggered elemental breaths, and dances did not activate Healing Breath at < 25% HP.--Winterglaive 16:10, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
How-To Guide: Dragoon
The How-To Guide: Dragoon should not be linked--at least, not yet. There are many things wrong with it, but this excerpt examplifies its two major flaws:
- Dragoons get it incredibly easy, because they get only weapon in the game they actually excel at: Polearms.
1. Pervasive, non-objective commentaries such as "Dragoons get it incredibly easy," yet it's not named as a personal guide as other personal guides. While its author is gracious in inviting everyone to improve the guide, the material present is blatantly personal in tone, and the guide's name should reflect that.
2. Questionable "factual" statements. In this particular case, it's well know that DRG can equip some dagger, sword, club, and staff; it's plainly listed on the Dragoon page. At best, this guide muddles the concept between "can equip" and "should equip"; at worse, it's an indication of the author's inadequate knowledge of DRG job and FFXI in general.
This guide should be renamed and set to {{UserGuide}} template to reflect its nature, or removed the link from page at this time, until it can be brought up to the standard of a {{Guide}}. Leaving the link in at this point in time is a disservice to the users of Dragoon page. Here's another cringe inducing except to drive home the points:
- You get Jump once you hit Lv.10. This immediately places you at the top of the TP-gaining list until about Lv.30, when Samurai gets Meditate.

I had someone else want another one of my guides changed to a User Guide. Really, I don't care. I just don't really think it's necessary. Yes, it's done in first person, but if anyone adds something, I give them credit and add it in. It's an open first-person guide. I wouldn't care if you added "by Stammer" outside of the guide, but I wouldn't like "by Stammer" in the guide's link itself. And what exactly did you mean by "it's an indication of the author's inadequate knowledge of DRG job and FFXI in general."? That's offensive.

glurion of phoenixes guide
sorry glurion but i took yr guide out. it's incomplete, work on it on yr own space; and no disrespect but i didn't find anything in it that made it preferable to any of the existing guides. some of the information isn't even accurate, not looking to nitpick though. maybe edit one of the others at yr discretion, i believe that's the kosher thing to do. too many people writing comprehensive jobs guides, let's not blitz new dragoons with the choices because we all felt we could teach them something. charlottie 07:06, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
why someone has removed DRG: Ten Commandments? it was the most entertaining and informative thing there. --Awangarda 22:57, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
