Dragon Cloak
The Dragon Cloak is Dragon Crusade's signature equipment progression system. Starting from a basic cloak obtained through quests, you upgrade through 10 stages to obtain the Ultimate Dragon Cloak - one of the most powerful cloaks in the game.

"Through farming and questing, you work your way to the most powerful cloak."
The Dragon Cloak provides three key bonuses that scale with each stage:
- HP% Bonus: Increases maximum HP
- Monster Damage: Increases damage dealt to monsters
