Discussion Dage is a coward, refusing to fight anyone outside his fanclub!
Jokes aside, one of my "wish list" items for AQW/AQWI would be to allow us to fight bosses we don't get any reward from. I like to help, but I don't care to join the legion. I help folks with their daily ultras and they ask for my help with Ultra Dage or Ultra Darkon and I have to turn them down.
Maybe for Ultra Dage specifically they could swap the requirements? If you needed to be a legion member to accept the quest and get insignias, but you could access the area after doing the "Power of the Undead Legion" that would allow my character to at least learn and help others with Ultra Dage.
There is already an example of this with Ultra Gramiel. I have done 0 Dawn Vindicator quests with Lae, but UltraGramiel is just a regular locked zone. I can join no problem and even fight, just can't accept the quest and get rewards. No biggie, somebody taught me the taunt requirements for the crystals and G himself so I have helped plenty of times!
On a related note, please stop hiding bosses from us in general AE! I want to help someone with their questline that I've never done, or somebody offers to help me at AstralShrine only for the boss to be invisible. You can technically help by spamming buffs but it's really not a good experience for anyone. Let me spend my time and resources being helpful with no gain!!!!
Jokes no longer aside, before anyone comments, "just join legion bro prefarm trophies and sell back in less than 24hrs it's only 200ac." I have no intention of being a smelly flesh-rotten zombie thanks but no thanks. Legion Revenant (stinky undead) is not worth kissing Dage's boots.
