So I have Dawngaurd. And I am a level 81, but for some reason, I have yet to see a Legendary Dragon. Im still fighting Ancient Dragons.

Anyone know why?

rare

(rar)

adj. rar·er, rar·est

1. Infrequently occurring; uncommon: a rare event; a plant that is rare in this region.

2. Excellent; extraordinary: a rare sense of honor.

3. Thin in density: rarefied: rare air.

Yes well I heard that they were more frequent once you reached like level 70, and being level 81 you would think that would make them even more frequent. As in as frequent as Ancient Dragons were before the dlc

I'm lvl 50 and since finishing the MQ I rarely see ANY dragon.

Wierd, my character is level 80 and all I run into is legendary dragons, except for one frost dragon.

started for me at lvl 71

MQ as in killing Alduin, or the Dawngaurd MQ?

Alduin, dragons are related to the base game not dlc.

This is why I'll never finish the MQ.

It would seem that different games ( yours and mine ) experience different random spawn rates. I'm Lv.81 and I hardly ever see any normal dragons any more, just Revered and Legendary. The status of the vanilla game also dictates the amount of these encounters, if you have finished Skyrims main quest then the dragon encounters should have slackened resulting in the rare random dragon encounters to become even more rare. Or if your mid way through Skrims main quest then the skies should be blacked out with the number of dragons appearing.
Try doing a dragon roost run. Visit every spot that has a dragon guarding a word wall, this should help with your legendary dragon hunting. It's a spot that continually spawns dragons so you chances of getting a legendary dragon there are greater then out roaming the map.

It can also be the lvl lists have yet to repopulate. believe it takes 30 days in game.

yeah I forgot about that! That's how I got the wild werewolves to kick in, I did a 30 day wait in my home. Then 2 days after I bumped into my first set of wild werewolves after 60+ hours of game play.( on Dawngurd )
Try a 30 day wait in your home and see if it resets the spawns out on the map.

Legendary Dov are fel brunick boziik, feral, savage and bold. Why you would wish to face them is beyond me.

That's weird I literally loaded dg fired up my level 81 and took two steps and boom legendary dragon so

Ive done that and all i get is Ancient Dragons

for starters there is an achievment for killing one.
Also i am at the point were Ancients are getting too easy. Fighting an Ancient dragon right now, is just like fighting a normal dragon at level 12ish

I did not even know about that! thanks

Are you playing on a difficulty level below Adept? If so you will have to change the difficulty level.

I haven't found any yet, I just want to achievement >.>

The revered and legendary flying geckos better pack a wallop, because right now in the vanilla game I can go thru ancient dragons - and even Alduin - like a cuisinart. Seriously, they're no challenge whatsoever.

right? its no fun killing Ancient Dragons now that I know how to do it without a scratch

This would be me. Since loading Dawnguard I've on encountered two dragons and both were at the same time.

The Revered Geckos are actually pretty tough. Their Fire Breath can nearly kill you instantly. Have yet to run into a Legendary Dragon, but if I do it will be the ultimate fight.

I' ve gotten Legendary and recently had a Revered. I had two followers with the Revered so it wasn't as tough as I thought. We'll see when I am with only one. I anticipate trouble.

Incorrect, difficulty only has a bearing on the amount of armor, health, and damage something does. Not the frequency of appearance. but to help the OP, like all thing's in skyrim. It seems that every play-through and person that plays it has a different spawn rate for things and experience. I believe this is actually what Tod intended
