Overview
Bonuses that scale per stage:

How to get keys and the starter cloak
Starter cloak (LVL 0)
- Level-up gift around level 2 (starter cloak item).
- Shop paths may sell the starter (e.g. station vendors).
- Open Dragon Guide from level 15 for the cloak card.
Quest lines → keys
| Stages | NPC | What |
|---|---|---|
| Toward LVL 1-5 | Julia | Field/kill quests and stone-piece keys |
| Toward LVL 6–7 | Nicolas de Flamel | Long dragon-taming / craft quest chain |
| Toward LVL 8–10 | Dragon Quest Steward Drago | End-content key quests (need high level / hero job) |
Follow quest text and the Dragon Guide card. Full NPC list: NPC directory.
Other materials
| Material | Typical sources |
|---|---|
| Red chips | Play, dungeons, vendors / economy |
| Dragon Itore | Dragon-related farming |
| Dragon Balls / Perin | Higher content, trading |
Exact farm rates vary — do not invent drop %.
Other cloak paths (optional)
- Rune / fragment craft and Insane variants may exist as alternate or post-Ultimate recipes (crafting / Jeff menu). Confirm in-game; do not skip the main Jeff ladder unless you know the alt path.
- Prestige cloaks (e.g. event / achievement cloaks, Shenlong wings from late content) are separate from LVL 0–10. See endgame dungeon pages when relevant.
FAQ
Where are Cave Kingster and Mechanic Chainsaw (cape quest)?
They are on a Dragon Guide cloak kill task together with Steel Knight, Volt, Elderguard, and Crane Machinery. Follow the live quest tracker / Guide card for the current step — do not hunt them in Dekane.
Where is Nicolas de Flamel (cloak 6)?
In Flaris. Use the Dragon Guide cloak card to teleport. Do not hunt him in Dekane.
I already have a 100% Angel. Can I keep going?
The Green / Blue / Red Angel 100% items are for Steward Drago cloak keys (LVL 8-10), not for Nicolas (LVL 6-7).
| Angel you hold | Next cloak key | Who |
|---|---|---|
| Green Angel 100% | LVL 8 (Bronze) | Steward Drago |
| Blue Angel 100% | LVL 9 (Silver) | Steward Drago |
| Red Angel 100% | LVL 10 (Gold) | Steward Drago |
If you already have the matching full-exp angel, keep it. Finish the other kill and chip requirements on that Drago quest, then turn it in. Nicolas does not take the angel.
I deleted Green Form / a colored form for Dragon Quest 7. Ann in Saint Morning needs Blue Form, then Pink Form, then Green Form, then Green Form and Brown Form for the A38 permit. Item text: find them in Saint Morning. Green Form is a ground spawn there, so pick it up off the ground if you lost it.
Tips
- Start the Julia chain early (guide from level 15).
- Always keep your current cloak in inventory for Jeff’s exchange.
- Stock red chips and Itore before mid stages; balls/perin before late stages.
- End keys need high level / Steward Drago quests — plan ahead.
