White bird of happiness - Glaurmur Dazzling

Hi guys,
did anyone finish this quest?
What happens later if you cut a deal with the dragon and what happens if you let him leave?

Thanks

[tataarymirtha]

my choice are let him live and i buy some artifact and troop, even dragon egg if u lucky.. never choose to kill him

[ckdamascus]

If you let him leave, you get less gold and no items. Be kind. :)

cool, thx. was wondering if maybe you meet him later in the game if you banish him now

I suppose I can't confirm whether or not this is true, as there is no way to tell if I really "fully" complete the game.

would be interesting to know
I just found an empty dragon lair on the elf island. maybe it flies away here?

Nope. I can spoil it if you want, but that it isn't it.

One of the Valkyrie's "level 5" missions is to kill a dragon.

Once you give her enough items and talk to her about said mission, the dragon shows up there as a hero fight.

Items and units galore as loot! Woohoo!

That fight was bugged for me, the lair was empty, then the Valkyrie asked me to kill the Dragon, a quest marker appeared, but when i started the fight, there were no enemies, the battle ended instantly and i got no gold and xp...
But it did count for the quest, and now it sells stuff...:?

it worked for me...4 black dragons :D
still curious what happens when you banish Glaurmur. if I had more time I would do 2 play throughs but unfortunately...

thanks for your comments anyway guys

I tried both options as a lvl 21 Viking on Hard difficulty.

Banishing him nets 5,517xp and about 50k gold (this will vary depending on equipment, awards etc - I have a +5%xp item as well as max learning and the other bonus xp awards)

Dealing with him nets an extra 25k gold and a lvl 5 item for me (the dragon necklace), but only a measly 837xp. It also unlocks the option to trade with him for more items etc

Quite torn about the options at the moment, I always love collecting items and artifacts, but the xp differential is huge...

Edit: just to put it into context, the difference in xp is about 10% of my total xp at lvl 21...
