'''Yangus''' is a character in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'' who accompanies [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|The Hero]] on his missions. He serves as a powerful tank character over the course of the game. He refers to the Hero as "Guv" ("Governor").

Yangus also appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest: Shōnen Yangus to Fushigi no Dungeon]]'', ''[[Itadaki Street Special]]'', ''[[Fortune Street]]'' and is one of thirteen playable characters in ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below]]''. In all English language versions of the games, Yangus' voice is provided by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0344038/?ref_=tt_cl_t1| Ricky Grover].

==History==
Originally a bandit from [[Pickham Region|Pickham]], Yangus tried to "go straight", as he himself put it, but because of his appearance people didn't give him much of a chance, which brought him back to a life of crime. However, one fateful day, he tried to make some money off of tolling a bridge; the same bridge, which the [[Hero]], [[King Trode]] and [[Princess Medea|Medea]] were about to cross. Trode refused to pay - the bridge being within his kingdom - causing Yangus to attack the group, but his attack failed and he ended up collapsing the bridge while The Hero, Trode and Medea made it to the other side, leaving Yangus hanging on for his life.

Trode insisted the group leave Yangus. But The Hero decided to save Yangus, who thanked the Hero and in turn pledged his loyalty to him. It is during this scene that Yangus gives the Hero the nickname of Guv. When asked by [[Jessica]] early in the story, Yangus explains that it was the hero who "helped him go straight".

When the group reaches the town of Pickham, Medea is stolen and sold to [[Red]], a woman who lives on the outskirts of the region. It's revealed that Yangus and Red have history together (strongly implied to be romantic). At the end of the game, after the final boss is defeated, Jessica informs the Hero that Yangus and Red have gone into business together.

Yangus also possesses a 20% resistance to [[frizz]] and fire breath damage.

==Abilities==
As Yangus has the highest strength throughout the bulk of the game, he will deal the most damage out of any character physically. But Yangus will gain access access to Healing spells and [[Kabuff]] if you dabble in his humanity skillset. This will help immensely in the beginning of the game, but as the journey progresses he will be outclassed by [[Angelo]] and the Hero. Each of Yangus' weapon paths has high damage modifiers and various bonus attributes: Scythes if you want to steal items or have access to the Big Banga attack. Axes are the most helpful for fighting bosses and metal slimes. Clubs if you want to farm gold easier, as well as pound away pesky material monsters. Humanity will lead to Yangus' more comedic abilities, like Underpants Dance and Golden Oldies. Yangus also has the most useful fisticuffs skillset.

Rockbomb

2016-04-14T19:21:35Z

108.193.60.159: /* Description */

:''For the monster class in [[Dragon Quest VII]], see [[Bombcrag (Class)]].''
{{Monster Infobox

The '''rockbomb''' (originally '''Bombcrag''') is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', it is a monster in the form of a round boulder and has a penchant for exploding, occasionally killing everyone in the party.

==Description==
The rockbomb is a monster made of living stone, which is part of the material family. It is a bluish, sometimes gray, boulder with a maniacal face on it, its teeth particularly gaped. Despite looking like plain boulders, rockbombs are actually immense geodes.

Rockbombs are not very aggressive. Most times, they smile strangely or watch their health, sometimes even entering battle asleep. However, rockbombs are not to be taken lightly as they are capable of exploding, usually in the form of the potentially devastating [[Kamikazee]] spell.

Strategy-wise, it is useful to remove the rockbombs first when encountering them in battle to prevent them from casting Kamikazee. This can prove more difficult in some titles over others, as some games give the bombs an ''enormous'' HP stat compared to other monsters in the area.

Rockbombs first appear in and around the volcano, Mount Magmageddon, and can easily cripple the party if given the chance.

Additionally, a rockbomb appears in the Bruise the Ooze mini-game, acting as part of the timer for the round.

The rockbomb (then Bombcrag) can be found in the [[Excavated Cave]] in [[Deja]] and the [[Rexwood]] region in Disc 2. There is a rare chance that that, upon defeat, the rockbomb will drop a Bombcrag Heart which can be used to become a rockbomb in the [[Temple of Dharma]].

While still occasionally mentioned as being monsters, rockbombs are treated as items throughout the game, often found sleeping on patches of dirt. Getting knocked into the air will angrily stir a rockbomb from its rest, and it will detonate the moment it hits the ground. They can be used as ammo in tank battles, but are mainly used to damage enemies and clear obstructions.

==Trivia==
*In ''Dragon Quest VII'', the [[Jester]] has a joke about the BombCrag. It goes ''"Have you heard about the BombCrag who liked to Rock and Roll?"''
*While often noted for their grins, they are never shown smiling in ''Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime'', bearing slight frowns while asleep and having angrily agape mouths while steaming from being woken up.

'''Red''' is a [[thief]] and a pirate who was an old mate of [[Yangus]]' in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. An NPC in the original PS2 version, Red as since been made into a playable character in the 2015 3DS remake of ''VIII''.

==Story==
Red buys [[Princess Medea]] and the [[wagon]] from Dodgy Dave in [[Pickham Region|Pickham]], only returning them to the party in exchange for a jewel, the [[Venus' Tear]], found in the [[Swordsman's Labyrinth]]. When the party gets the jewel, but before going back to Red's [[Red's House|place]], Yangus reveals that he tried to get that jewel earlier in hopes of impressing Red, but gave up due to the difficulty.
Later on, when the party must find the treasure of [[Captain Crow]], they meet her with the same intentions. The find their ways through the [[Pirate's Cove]] an Red find herself face to face with Captain Crow, only to be knocked unconscious. [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|The Hero]]'s party defeated Crow and won the Illuminated Sea-chart, which Red had no apparent interest in. She then left to return to her home southwest of [[Pickham]].

...But, before the party takes on [[Rhapthorne]], they can visit her to obtain the [[Flail of fury]] on the condition that he return it to her after he's defeated Rhapthorne. Everyone but Yangus picks up on the true meaning of the gesture, and when Angelo says it out loud, Yangus and Red visibly blush.

Red is also featured in the Japan-only game ''[[Dragon Quest: Shōnen Yangus to Fushigi no Dungeon]]''.

Critical Hit

2016-04-04T04:21:10Z

108.193.60.159: cleared misconception and added m.a. info

'''Critical Hits''' are a recurring feature of the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series.

==Function==
Every time any character makes an attack, they have a small chance of that attack being a "Critical Hit," which drastically increases the damage dealt on that particular turn. Since critical hits ignore defence, it makes them an instant kill on all [[metal monsters]], provided the monster does not dodge the critical hit.
However, many monsters also can get critical hits, usually termed a ''terrific blow'' or a ''brutal hit''.

==Frequency==
The chance of a critical has several variables, though the base range in all Dragon Quest games is '''{{fraction|1|64}}'''. Certain characters have a better chance of getting critical hits than others, such as [[Tsarevna Alena]] whose rate depends on her level. In ''VI'' and ''VII'', a [[Martial Artist]]'s chance of landing a critical hit improves along with the character's current rank, capping at 1/8 at rank 8.

Certain weapons can increase the chances of a character getting a critical hit, such as the [[Hela hammer]] or [[Headman's Axe]]. Such weapons tend to have a very low accuracy to balance their power. Additionally, weapon skill sets featured in [[Dragon Quest VIII]] and [[Dragon Quest IX|IX]] will improve a character's chances of performing a critical hit from {{fraction|1|64}} to {{fraction|1|32}} if they raise their rank in the skill high enough.

==Spells==
In ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'', spells can also become critical hits, where the spell "goes haywire." This not only increases damage output of attack magic, but also boosts healing spells. If a status-changing spell goes haywire, its chance of working increases to 100% (barring the target being immune). Other class skills have a critical chance as well with similar effects.

Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)

2016-04-04T04:15:41Z

|Name=Hero
|Game=Dragon Quest VIII
|Image=[[File:Dq8 Hero.jpg|250px]]
|Sprite=
|Japanese name=主人公
|Roumaji=Shujinkō
|Title= Captain of the Guard
|Class=Hero
|Race= {{spoiler|start}}Half-human, half-Dragovian{{spoiler|end}}
|Age=20
|}}
The '''Hero of Dragon Quest VIII''' is a 20 year-old low-ranking royal guardsmen in [[Trodain|Trodain Castle]], before becoming a refuge of the kingdom in the prologue of ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. He was one of the small band who survived [[Dhoulmagus]]' deadly attack, along with [[Trode]], [[Princess Medea|Medea]] and [[Munchie]]. As is the series' tradition, the Hero is a silent protagonist whom the player is meant to project themselves upon, using him as an avatar to explore and interact with the game's world.

The Hero is a versatile character, as equally proficient in armed combat as he is in using healing spells and support magic. His preferred weapons are swords, spears and boomerangs.

==Appearance and Personality==

Due to his aforementioned status as a silent protagonist, very little can be said of the man's character that isn't decided by the player. That being said, the youth has demonstrated a remarkably humane nature in certain cutscenes. This is most apparent in the flashback to his meeting with Yangus, who accidentally broke the robe bridge that he was blocking while attempting to extort money from king Trode. Instead of letting the bellicose bandit fall to his death, the former guard pulled him to safety despite Trode's considerable umbrage.

In contrast to heroes of previous games, this Hero dresses very casually and historically coherent, wearing a saffron overcoat with a blue tunic, simple red bandana, and plain grey trousers with brown boots.

==Background==
{{Spoiler|start}}He is the son of [[Eltrio]] and [[Xia]], making him half-[[human]] and half-[[Dragovian]]. This union came about when the later became curious of the human world, and decided to explore it. After encountering Eltrio, Xia fell in love with the young man and spent much time with him. Unfortunately, her father Chen Mui did not approve of the joining of human and dragovian, feeling that the two races could never develop true love between them, and forced his daughter back to the dragovian sanctuary. Some time after this, the body of Eltrio was found near the sanctuary's outskirts, having braved the immense dangers alone to reach his beloved. The death of her loved devastated Xia, and day by day her very life force began to fade. Before joining Eltrio in the afterlife, however, Xia delivered their child in the sanctuary. The boy would live among the dragovians for several years as the council of elders debated what to do with the anomaly, until one day it was decided that his memories would be sealed, and that he would be banished from his people. His grandfather, realizing the youth was his last connection to his daughter, begged for permission to accompany his grandson. It was decided that he could do so, but only if he took the form of a innocuous mouse, and never spoke a word to him.

As the son of Eltrio, the Hero is also the nephew of [[Clavius|King Clavius]] of [[Argonia]]. This blood connection is what enables him to superseded Prince Charmles in the right to marry the heir to Trodain. By the end of the game, he has become captain of the guard and the son-in-law of King Trode after marrying Princess Medea.{{spoiler|end}}

An amnesiac since his early youth, the Hero grew up in Trodain castle, eventually serving as a guard for some time before the events of the prologue took place. For much of ''Dragon Quest VIII'', the hero journeys with his faithful mouse friend, [[Munchie]], [[Trode|King Trode]], [[Medea]], and [[Yangus]]. The hero is eventually joined by [[Jessica]] and [[Angelo]], enlisting their aid in pursuing and confronting the wicked [[Dhoulmagus]].

==Munchie==
[[File:DQ VIII PS2 Munchie.png|thumb|150px|Munchie]]
The Hero carries around his pet, Munchie, wherever he goes. A highly intelligent Pig-Rat, Munchie is capable of entering small spaces and exploring areas the party would otherwise have no access to. If you give Munchie [[List of cheeses in Dragon Quest VIII|cheese items]], he gains special abilities. Munchie rides in the pocket of the Hero's coat most of the time. Munchie will show his [[Chen Mui|true significance]] only after the game.

==Skill Tips==

'''Swords''' pay off if you are in pursuit of metal monsters, with ''Metal Slash'' (30 points) being particularly useful. If you accumulate 100 points in swords and courage you learn the almighty gigagash, although this takes quite some time to achieve.

'''Spears''' are ideal for hunters of metal monsters in particular, with ''Thunder Thrust'' (12 points) and ''Lightning Thrust'' (59 points). The ''Multithrust'' (25 points) is also worth a try against single enemies.

'''Boomerangs''' are a real boon in the beginning of the game because they attack all enemies. Later, however, this skill becomes less useful (over 40 points: ''Attack + 15), so it is advisable to switch to developing different skills.''

'''Fisticuffs''' is largely ineffectual to the other skills, although some actions are worth a try like ''Thin Air'' (42 points). The Hero can only make a real impression when he learns ''Attack + 50'' (100 points).

'''Courage''' is extremely useful as a means of learning traits that reduce MP consumption (at 56 and 90 points). Don't ignore the advanced attacks either (''Zap'', 48 points and ''Kazap'' at 100 points), or the ''Omniheal'' spell at 82 points.

'''Suggested Strategies:''' Learn Courage up to 8 points (''Zoom'') initially, then learn Boomerangs up to 40 points (''Attack + 15'') followed by courage up to 100. Next, increase your Swords skill to 66 (''Attack + 25'') or Spears up to 59 (''Critical Hit'').

Another option would be to forgo Boomerangs altogether and start by dividing points equally between Swords and Courage (up to Swords 66), then switching to Spears and Courage.

However, since you come across some extremely effective spears in the opening stages of the game, you may prefer to concentrate on mastering spears from the outset.

==Trivia==
* When the hero's tension is maxed, his appearance changes drastically. His bandana flies off and his hair spikes up, making him resemble Super Saiyan Son Goku of Dragon Ball Z fame. This little feature was added to the American release of the game, as a shoutout to fans of Toriyama's work.

Jessica Albert

|Game=Dragon Quest VIII

'''Jessica Albert''' is a character originally introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King]]''. She later appeared in ''[[Itadaki Street Special]]'', ''[[Fortune Street]]'' and was one of thirteen playable characters in ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below]]''.

A girl from a good home, Jessica comes from a wealthy family in the small village of [[Alexandria]]. However, contrary to her upbringing, she is unskilled in the social niceties and expected behaviour of her environment, which often leads to conflict with her mother. She joins up with the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII) |Hero]] for personal reasons, strengthening the party with her flair for offensive magic. A definite firebrand, Jessica is nothing like her mother, who expects her to be prim and proper in public. In English language versions of the game, Jessica's voice is provided by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1326011/?ref_=tt_cl_t2| Emma Ferguson]

Magic is far from Jessica's only strength; she is also an outstanding fighter. Whips, staves, knives and later swords are her weapons of choice.

==Appearance and personality==
Jessica has red hair in a form of long pigtails with a few strands of it hanging over her face. She wears a purple blouse with sleeves starting at the upper part of her arm. She has a yellow, corsette-like, article of clothing around her stomach and waist which has a auburn belt around it that a small pouch hangs from. She has a long, maroon colored skirt that has a white frill at the bottom. You can see that she has brownish-black tights under the skirt, and pointed, brown shoes, in which the tights are tucked into.

Jessica possess a sharp tongue, and has a knack for seeing through people. She is a very stubborn and at times aggressive young woman, though her intellect keeps her from making rash decisions. This same wisdom gives her immense skill in the magical arts, learning several spells after only studying for a short period. Due to recent events afflicting the Albert family, Jessica has a slight difficulty in trusting others. This is reflected in the time it takes for her to properly join with the Guv and Yangus, and the prolonged friction between herself and [[Angelo]]. Once a person has proven their sincerity, however, Jessica becomes much more jovial and approachable around them.

Jessica's appearance changes when she equips certain armor, such as:

*Jessica's Outfit
This is the outfit you first see Jessica in when you meet her, a prim piece that alludes to the Albert family's social standing. This is Jessica's only outfit that doesn't show off her mature curves. She has a white dress shirt with a red tie. Her skirt is long and black.

* Dancer's Outfit
This outfit consists of a white bra, and a reddish-orange skirt tied off at the hip.

*Bunny Costume
This outfit can only be made if you put the Fishnet Stockings, Bunny Ears, and the Bunny Tail in the Alchemy Pot. The result is a black Playboy Bunny outfit.

*Magic Bikini
This outfit has low defense but increases Jessica's magic greatly. This outfit is a blue and yellow bikini with a miniskirt-like article of clothing around her waist.

*Dangerous Bustier
The only purpose of this outfit is to use it in the Alchemy Pot to make the Divine Bustier. And for a little bit of eye candy. It is black with a open slash in the front which is laced to keep from falling apart.
It straps around the back and and the part covering her rear is shaped like a heart.

*Divine Bustier
Jessica's best outfit. It increases her evasion and defense greatly. She has a purple and gold, low-cut, blouse that is tied off to a brace-like necklace. And in the middle of this blouse is a laced open part that shows her skin, but can look like a zipper if not examined closely. She has a miniskirt attached to the blouse, but most of her legs are covered by white, decorated with purple and gold, tights. She wears long, white gloves with a similar decoration than her tights. She has wings (strictly for style) on her back. This whole outfit strongly resembles the Staff of Resurrection.

===The story===
Jessica is introduced after The [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII) |Hero]] and Yangus reach the top of the Tower of Alexandria, mistaking the two as the murderers of her brother, Alistair, who was in truth slain by [[Dhoulmagus]]. After witnessing a vision of her brother's demise and learning it was the evil jester, she has a change of heart and resolves to avenge her sibling. However, her mother initially refuses, causing a falling out between the two. After joining the group and traveling to the Maella Abbey, Jessica plays a key role in wringing in the flirtatious Angelo. Later on, after destroying Dhoulmagus, Jessica retrieves the scepter of [[Rhapthorne]] and is suddenly possessed by its dark power. After a difficult battle, Jessica is freed from the staff's influence, and relies the truth about the party's real enemy. At the end of the story, Jessica has reconciled with her mother and informs the player of what has transpired after the defeat of Rhapthorne.

It's strongly implied that Jessica harbors feelings for the Hero, but appears to accept that he is in love with [[Medea|Princess Medea]].

'''Yangus''' is a character in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'' who accompanies [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|The Hero]] on his missions. He serves as a powerful tank character over the course of the game. He refers to the Hero as "Guv" ("Governor").

Yangus also appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest: Shōnen Yangus to Fushigi no Dungeon]]'', ''[[Itadaki Street Special]]'', ''[[Fortune Street]]'' and is one of thirteen playable characters in ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below]]''. In all English language versions of the games, Yangus' voice is provided by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0344038/?ref_=tt_cl_t1| Ricky Grover].

==History==
Originally a bandit from [[Pickham Region|Pickham]], Yangus tried to "go straight", as he himself put it, but because of his appearance people didn't give him much of a chance, which brought him back to a life of crime. However, one fateful day, he tried to make some money off of tolling a bridge; the same bridge, which the [[Hero]], [[King Trode]] and [[Princess Medea|Medea]] were about to cross. Trode refused to pay - the bridge being within his kingdom - causing Yangus to attack the group, but his attack failed and he ended up collapsing the bridge while The Hero, Trode and Medea made it to the other side, leaving Yangus hanging on for his life.

Trode insisted the group leave Yangus. But The Hero decided to save Yangus, who thanked the Hero and in turn pledged his loyalty to him. It is during this scene that Yangus gives the Hero the nickname of Guv. When asked by [[Jessica]] early in the story, Yangus explains that it was the hero who "helped him go straight".

When the group reaches the town of Pickham, Medea is stolen and sold to [[Red]], a woman who lives on the outskirts of the region. It's revealed that Yangus and Red have history together (strongly implied to be romantic). At the end of the game, after the final boss is defeated, Jessica informs the Hero that Yangus and Red have gone into business together.

Yangus also possesses a 20% resistance to [[frizz]] and fire breath damage.

==Abilities==
As Yangus has the highest strength throughout the bulk of the game, he will deal the most damage out of any character physically. But Yangus will gain access access to Healing spells and [[Kabuff]] if you dabble in his humanity skillset. This will help immensely in the beginning of the game, but as the journey progresses he will be outclassed by [[Angelo]] and the Hero. Each of Yangus' weapon paths has high damage modifiers and various bonus attributes: Scythes if you want to steal items or have access to the Big Banga attack. Axes are the most helpful for fighting bosses and metal slimes. Clubs if you want to farm gold easier, as well as pound away pesky material monsters. Humanity will lead to Yangus' more comedic abilities, like Underpants Dance and Golden Oldies. Yangus also has the most useful fisticuffs skillset.

'''Needle Shot''' is a recurring ability in the franchise. It fires a needle-thin projectile that has a 1/16 chance to hit the enemy in the soft spot (killing them instantly). Otherwise, the arrow will inflict 1 damage.

==Appearances==

===[[Dragon Quest VIII]]===
[[Angelo]] can use '''Needle Shot''' as a bow technique after allocating 25 skill points into the associated skill. Once he masters the skill tree by allocating 100 points, it is replaced by '''Needle Rain''' (which launches 3-4 arrows). Both cost 1 MP to use.

===[[Dragon Quest IX]]===
This ability is learned with 35 skill points allocated into [[List of bow skills in Dragon Quest IX|Bow skill]] and costs 1 MP to use.

Angelo

'''Angelo''' is a playable character in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. He is a complicated man who hides his somber past behind an ambivalent, suave mask of a gambler and playboy. Though seemingly indifferent to the plights of others and even coming off as condescending at times, Angelo is nevertheless a dependable companion and an asset to the party's efforts. In all English language versions of the game, Angelo is voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0728682/?ref_=tt_cl_t3| Blake Ritson]

==Story==
After losing his parents at a young age, he was brought in by Francisco, the abbot of Maella Abbey, like many other orphans. He grew up to be on of the Templar Knights, responsible for the abbey's protection. He likes to gamble and drink, making him a disgrace in the other templars' eyes, but he has the favour of Abbot Francisco. His half-brother Marcello, head of the Templar Knights, considers Angelo to be the cause of his sorrows. Marcello orders him to join the party after the events at Maella Abbey.

==Personality==
Angelo marches to the beat of his own drum, caring little of his religious and ceremonial roles at the abbey (although his swordsmanship and bow proficiency are impressive enough for him to become a Templar knight). He's more interested in hustling the rubes at nearby Simpleton and chasing ladies than in carrying out the duties of his station, and his party chat dialogue proves him to be very fussy at times, especially concerning his appearance. Despite all this, when push comes to shove, he will go to extraordinary lengths to see things through; even outshining the rising star, Marcello, to save Abbot Francisco not long after meeting the party. The rest of the time, he wants to be carried around by his free spirit, as captured in one of his remarks prior to undertaking the Dragovian trials:

"If there's one thing I hate in this life, it's a trial. What kind of masochistic lunatic would come all the way up here to endure a grueling, not to mention tedious, challenge?"

There are a few other characters worth remarking on. Marcello is Angelo's half brother, a character with a zealous hatred of the nobility. That, as the illegitimate son of one of his father's house servants, he was disowned by his aristocratic family imbues him with a desire to stick it to well-bred institutions--and their members--everywhere. He despises his half-brother, while he and Angelo are outwardly quite similar, the difference between the two is rather apparent.

*Angelo also boasts a 20% resistance to ice-type damage.

==Abilities==
Angelo learns a variety of spells and a decent amount of physical skills, though as a [[priest|Priest]] he is naturally at his best when healing his companions. He can learn to use a sword but his proficiency is outclassed by the Hero, making it an inadvisable path for him. It is a good idea to level up Angelo's staff skill to increase his MP and spell repertoire. His Charisma skills are excellent for countering tension-happy foes as well as inflicting status ailments, and Pearly Gates is a fantastic crowd control ability during the end-game. Angelo's physical strength shines most when using a bow, however, as most bow skills cause debilitating affects that can shut down foes before they even get a chance to strike.

Rubiss

2015-09-27T04:10:02Z

108.193.60.159: Speech transcribed directly from the mobile version

'''Rubiss''' is a creator Goddess who appears as deity in several ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' games.

==''[[Dragon Quest II]]''==
The player can communicate with Rubiss by sailing to a small island shrine south of [[Midenhall]]. When presented with the five collected [[5 Sigils|sigils]], She will speak to the three cousins telepathically and give them [[Eye of Rubiss|a holy talisman]] to dispel wicked illusions.

Being her first appearance in the series, Rubiss is introduced to players as a protector Goddess who operates through her chosen ones, rather than directly intervening in world affairs. The fondness and loyalty to which she speaks of Erdrick elevates the character from but a mere ancient folk hero to a savior to whom the very gods are indebted. This relationship would be further expanded upon in the third game, especially the remade versions.

===Rubiss' speech===
''The five sacred Sigils begin to glow brightly!''
''A soothing, disembodied voice floats through the air...''

''"Who summons me..? Who calleth upon Rubiss, the spirit of the land...?''
''Hm...? Ah...You are of the bloodline of Erdrick...I sense his presence within you...''
''It is time, at long last, to fulfill the promise I made unto your dear ancestor so long ago...''
''I do hereby bestow upon you a gift that shall give to you the power of true sight when you need it most...''
''When illusions do assail you upon all sides, trust to that which I have given you this day...''
''Then shall your eyes discern truth from falsity...being from seeming...''
''Now go forth, scions of Erdrick, with my blessing...Wheresoever you wander, know that I do watch over you always..."''

==''[[Dragon Quest III]]''==
Rubiss is held prisoner on the top floor of the [[Tower West of Kol]]. The heroes must use the [[Fairy Flute]] in front of the statue there in order to free her.

Princess Gwaelin

2015-09-20T15:09:45Z

108.193.60.159:

{{Character
|Name="Gwaelin"
|Game=Dragon Quest I
|Image=[[File:Gwaelin.png|200px]]
|Sprite=[[Image:Dq1gwaelin-sprite-NES.gif]]
|Japanese name=
|Roumaji=
|Title=Princess
|Class=
|Race=Human
|Age=
|Family=[[Lorik]] (Father)
|}}
[[Image:Dq1 Gwaelin.jpg|right|border|250px]]
''Princess Gwaelin'' is an NPC character in the original ''[[Dragon Quest]]''. She is the daughter of the [[Lorik|king]] of [[Tantegel]] and has been kidnapped by the [[Dragonlord]]. During the game, she can be rescued by [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|The Hero]] as a sidequest. This makes her the one and only sidequest present in the original ''[[Dragon Quest]]''.

She also appears in ''Dragon Quest Monsters'' (as '''Lady Laura'''). Defeating the dragon guarding her in that game allows Terry to recruit the dragon into his party.

==Story==
===Rescue===
The Hero may rescue Gwaelin during his quest to defeat the Dragonlord, though this is not a requirement to complete the game. She is located inside the [[Swamp Cave]] south of [[Kol]] which connects to the southeastern continent. In order to rescue Gwaelin, the Hero must fight and defeat a ferocious [[Green Dragon]] that guards her (rather lavish) cell. This monster is not visible on the dungeon map screen, but rather is trigger when the Hero steps on a specific tile (similar to the [[Golem]] which guards [[Mercado]]). If the Dragonlord is defeated prior to the Princess' rescue, she will still be in her cell and able to be rescued, though the Green Dragon will not be present.

After rescuing the princess, the Hero carries her back to her father at Tantegel castle. A sprite showing the hero carrying Gwaelin is used at this time. In the remakes of the game, the Dragonlord has a special reaction if she is being carried when the Hero confronts him. In it, he laughs heartily at the absurdity, and 'thanks' the Hero for his kindness in bringing the Princess to him.

===Tantegel Castle===
At Tantegel Castle, Gwaelin gives the Hero an item called the 'Princess' Pledge' which tells the Hero his exact distance from Tantegel on the map of [[Alefgard]] at the time it is used. It is useful in finding the Emblem of Erdrick later in the game.

While at the castle, her highness occupies the empty space next to her father in the throne room. When spoken to in the NES version, she asks the Hero if he loves her. Answering yes triggers the short love music to play.

===Ending===
If the Hero rescued Gwaelin during the game, then she will be present during the ending and join the protagonist on his journey to establish his own kingdom. The Hero will again carry the lass away as he leaves Alefgard after defeating the Dragonlord. If the Hero is already carrying her when the ending begins, the result is much the same, though a single line is different.

===Future===
Eventually she and The Hero get married and settle in [[Torland]]. They have three children, who establish the kingdoms of [[Midenhall]], [[Cannock]], and [[Moonbrooke]]. 100 years later, their descendants become the heroes of ''[[Dragon Quest II]]''.

Also, a [[Lora's Cave|tunnel]] leading from Cannock to Moonbrooke was named after her.

Patty

2015-09-19T04:34:07Z

108.193.60.159:

{{Character
|Name="Patty"
|Game=''Dragon Quest IX''
|Image=[[Image:Dqix_patty.png]]
|Sprite=
|Japanese name=ルイーダ
|Roumaji=Ruīda
|Title=Party Planner
|Class=Thief
|Race=Human
|Age=Late 20's
|Family=
|}}

{{Translation|'''Patty'''|ルイーダ|Ruīda|also known as '''Ruida''', '''Luida''' or '''Lucia''' in the Japanese versions}}, is a recurring character from the [[Dragon Quest]] series. She first appeared in the [[Dragon Quest III]] which she is the proprietor of [[Patty's Party Planning Place|the bar]] in [[Aliahan]]. She functions as a party planner in the games she appears.

== Appearance ==
Patty utilizes the common village woman sprite in the original versions of ''III'', ''V'', and ''VI'', switching this for the Bunny girl design in the assorted remade versions of those titles. Starting with ''IX'', however, Patty is depicted as a tall woman with long blue hair wearing it in a ponytail and blue eyes. Her attire is that of a female bar-tender, donning a red/white shirt and a orange dress and wears brown boots. She wears jewellery on each of her wrists.

== Personality ==
Patty displays some personality in her brief dialogue in the older titles, being a perpetually cheery aid eager to set up the perfect adventuring party for the main character. In ''IX'', she is presented as a woman of the world, whose stubbornness is exceeded only by her compassion for others. Always saying "dear", "honey" or "sweetie" to the people she knows, along with the hero, she caries herself almost as an older sister. Her bullheadedness allows her to overcome hardships that would make others flinch, as demonstrated when she walked all the way from Stornway to Angel Falls to get and bring Erinn's father back to Stornway. She is also a women of courage which she went in the Hexagon after the earthquake and explorers the entire cave before encountering the Hexagoon.

== Dragon Quest III ==
Patty is the proprietor of [[Patty's Party Planning Place|her eponymous bar]] in [[Aliahan]]. She will organize a party for [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|hero]] and offer words of advice.

== Dragon Quest V ==
Patty has settled in [[Gotha]] this time around, managing the bar on the second floor of the castle. When not pouring drinks for the castle guards and gossiping with the ladies, she'll service her [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|king]] by helping him assign the human members of his party. Rumor has it that this Patty has a soft spot for certain monster loving geezers...

== Dragon Quest VI ==
Tucked away behind the bar in [[Alltrades Abbey]], Patty has improved her trade to the point that she can now manage the protagonist's more bestial buddies along with his human companions. How she got the head priest to allow her to set up a bar in an abbey is a question only the Goddess Herself can answer.

== Dragon Quest IX ==
=== The Hexagon ===
Patty is introduced to the player while she was on her way to [[Angel Falls]] to find [[Erinn]]'s father [[Edwinn]]. It turns out that she became lost in the Hexagon for some time, which is why the knights of Stornway are searching for her. Erinn remembers her name from her father, and she asks the hero to find rescue her. Once in the Hexagon the hero must explore and search for Patty, finding her trapped under a rock dislodged during the earthquake. After defeating the Hexagoon that was inside the Hexagon, she takes Erinn to [[Stornway]] in her father's stead to take over the inn.

=== Stornway ===
In Stornway at the inn called Quester's Rest, she is functioned as the party planner for the hero. If you speak with Patty she can add, remove or create characters for the hero party.

== Quest ==
Her backstory is expanded during quest 125 ("Perk Up, Patty!"); completing it allows you to recruit her as a party member. Note that she still runs the party planner at the counter while inside the Quester's Rest.
{{DQIXQuest|125}}

== Abilities ==
Patty is a level 28 [[thief]]. She is equipped with a [[deadly nightblade]], [[Patty's dirndl|her dirndl]], [[Patty's pumps|her shoes]], and a [[lucky pendant]], however you must manually assign her [[skill]] points.

== Other Appearances ==
[[Image:Patty, Fortune Street.PNG|thumb|140px|Patty's appearance in Fortune Street.]]
Patty makes a appearance in [[Fortune Street]] in a cross-over game between the Mario and Dragon Quest series. On the American website of the game, she has been profiled as "A networking wiz who helps adventurers from behind the counter of her Party Planning Place. When it comes to running a business, she has no equal.". Patty is known for her appearance as party planner in the Dragon Quest video games which she appears in.

Hammer

2015-09-19T01:11:46Z

108.193.60.159: /* Dragon Quest VIII */

Hammers are a recurring weapon type in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest series]]. In the early series they tended to function as early and mid-game weapons, bowing out to swords as the player approached the final few areas in the games. However, they still found a place in many a player's inventory thanks to the [[Hela hammer]], one of the most useful tools for besting [[Metal Slime]]s.

With the debut of Level-5 as the series developer in [[Dragon Quest VIII]], hammers have taken on a much more substantial role in the series, accumulating a varied and useful collection of unique skills.

Hammers are referred to as ''Clubs'' in DQ8, and are one of the three weapon categories that former bandit [[Yangus]] can equip himself with. Clubs are primarily chosen for brute strength over attack options, with all available skills focusing on bludgeoning a single target for high damage or knocking them senseless for a turn. As with the other weapon families, investing skill points into hammers will improve the user's critical hit rate from 1/64 to 1/16 when equipped.

108.193.60.159: fixed critical hit rate

[[Image:MegatonHammer.png|right|border|140px]]

The '''Megaton Hammer''' is a huge hammer that weighs heavy on the heads of those it hits.

==Appearances==

===[[Dragon Quest VIII]]===
The megaton hammer has an attack bonus of +108, and changes [[Yangus]]' critical hit rate from 1/64 (normal conditions) and [[Hammer|1/16 (skill trait)]] to 1/4 when using a normal attack. Though these merits are very impressive, some fans feel that the weapon, and as well as hammers as a whole, play something of second fiddle to the former bandit's other [[Hatchet Man|weapon]] choices.

Martial Artist

[[Image:DQIIIMartialArtistClass.png|thumb|300px|right|Martial Artists from ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'']]
''Instead of using swords, the Fighter uses his very body as a weapon.''
--Description from [[Dragon Quest VIII]]

The '''Martial Artist''', or '''Fighter''' in older localizations, is a class in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Practitioners of the way of the fist possess high Agility, Strength, and Resilience, but low magical capability.

==Description==
Fighters have a great amount of speed, agility, and strength. They can deal devastating amounts of damage from a single strike, and can be equipped with a variety of weapons. However, if equipped with any weapon other than a claw, a Fighter's abilities will actually decrease, as his or her attack power will lower considerably. This is because Fighters prefer to attack with their bare hands, and so only claw type weapons will make their attack power rise.

A fighter has a higher chance of scoring a critical hit on an enemy than other classes, their ratio being dependent on their level instead of staying at a fixed 1/64 chance throughout the game. In all versions the formula is ''LvL/256'', capping at 64.

===Usefulness===
The Fighter's skill Wind Beast is worth learning as it grows in strength the higher the level. In terms of development, the fighter class is required to master in order to become a [[Dragoon]] and [[Paladin]]. The great thing about fighter class is that these two classes combine to make a [[Godhand]]. The Godhand is worth investing some time and battles in getting if the player is looking to go to the bonus dungeons.

The Fighter's hybrid skills are not very exciting except for Jock Dance. However, Roundhouse does the same thing and it doesn't require changing into a [[Dancer]] to do so.

==[[Dragon Quest IX]]==
The '''Martial Artist''' (Monk) vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skill set "Focus." Martial Artists can also use skill points to learn [[Fan]], [[Staff]], [[Claw]], and [[Fisticuffs]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Roaring Tirade," which terrorizes all enemies and raises [[tension]] by one level.

[[Image:DQIIIPriestClass.png|thumb|300px|Priests from ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''.]]
''The Cleric specializes in restorative and defensive spells''
--Description in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''

The '''Priest''', '''Pilgrim''' or '''Cleric''' in older localizations, is a class in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Priests specialize in healing and fortifying spells rather than offensive magic, and are some of the only characters who can learn to revive party members while in the field. Priests cannot equip heavy armor, but they can use weapons much like a Hero or a Warrior can. Priests do have initially more strength, agility and resilience than Magi, but on the whole, their physical combat potential is average at best.

===Usefulness===
One of the first classes that any player should choose for any party member is the Priest. All of the spells that the Priest learns are useful throughout the game. The only downside to this class is that the class takes a long time to master.

==[[Dragon Quest IX]]==
The priest vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Faith". Priests can also use skill points to learn [[Spear]], [[Wand]], [[Staff]], and [[Shield]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Choir of Angels," which heals all party members and removes negative status effects.

'''Kafuddle''' is a spell in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest Series]]. It is the improved from of [[Fuddle]], and behaves very similarly to [[Kasnooze]] in that, instead of following the ''100%, 75%, 25%, 0%'' resistance table it utilizes one based on ''100%, 100%, 50%, 0%''. In other words, it treats the monster's resistance value as if it were one level lower.

===Dragon Quest IX===

'''Half-Inch''' is an ability in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]] series. It tries to steal an item from the enemy.

==Appearances==

===[[Dragon Quest IX]]===
This ability is learned with 10 skill points allocated into [[List of acquisitiveness skills in Dragon Quest IX|Acquisitiveness skill]]. The actual success rate is dependent on both the user's Deftness and the drop rate of the item, calculated as ''Steal Rate = (Drop Rate * 2)(1 + (Deftness – 51) / 474)''

===Etymology===
Half-inch is a Cockney English rhyming slang that means 'to steal (pinch)'.

List of character statistics

2015-07-29T02:09:40Z

108.193.60.159: /* Deftness */

The following is a list of measurable statistics for playable characters which may be found throughout the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series.

==Hit Points==
'''Hit Points (HP)''' determine how much health a character has remaining. All damage subtracts from this score, and if it reaches 0, the character can no longer participate in battle, and must be revived. HP can be restored via [[medicinal herb]]s, healing spells, resting at an [[inn]], etc.

In ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest IV|IV]]'', '''Resilience''' directly determines your character's maximum '''Hit Points'''. The more a character's '''Resilience''' score increases upon leveling, the more '''Hit Points''' a character will receive upon the next level increase.

In all other titles, the maximum HP a character has is generally determined by their level and (if applicable) class, with [[martial artist]]s, [[warrior]]s, and [[paladin]]s having the highest on average.

Any character can consume a [[seed of life]] to increase their maximum HP.

==Magic Points==
'''Magic Points (MP)''' determine how much mana a character can expend to cast spells. Each spell deducts from this pool at a set rate, and cannot be cast if MP is too low. Some very special spells like [[Magic Burst]] will consume '''all''' remaining MP when cast. Starting with ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'', skills were introduced that also consumed MP.

In ''Dragon Quest III'', '''Wisdom''' directly determines your character's maximum '''Magic Points''', paralleling the '''Resilience''' stat.

In other titles, the maximum MP a character has is generally determined by their level and (if applicable) class. Prior to ''Dragon Quest VI'', non-magical characters had no MP pools as they had no use for them, but with the addition of skills, most characters began accumulating an MP pool even if they never learned actual spells.

Any character can consume a [[seed of magic]] to increase their maximum MP.

==Strength==
'''Strength''' measures how physically strong a character is, and is added to a character's weapon bonus in determining damage inflicted upon an enemy. In later installments, some skills depend on Strength for determining damage output, ignoring if a weapon is equipped.

Any character can consume a [[seed of strength]] to increase this attribute.

==Agility==
'''Agility''' determines a character's priority in turns. Additionally, in [[Dragon Quest VIII]] a character's agility will also determine their probability to dodge physical strikes. The game's programming checks the agility stat of the target before an attack is made, and if the stat surpasses a certain value then the programming checks to see if the blow lands:

*0~249: zero chance aside from equipment bonuses. '''Note''': if a character has raised his or her Fisticuffs level to receive an increase in evasion, the default is raised to 50% before stacking with all other bonuses.

*250~499: 2% chance.

*500~749: 5% chance.

*750~989: 11% chance.

*999: 25% chance.

As such, the spell [[acceleratle]] is vitally important when battling strong foes, even slower ones.

In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] versions of the first four games, as well as all versions of [[Dragon Quest III]], '''Agility''' also contributes to the character's innate defence. If a character has no armour or other defencive gear equipped in these titles, then their defence will be half of their '''agility'''.

Any character can consume a [[seed of agility]] to increase this attribute.

==Resilience==
'''Resilience''' (''also localized as '''Vitality''''') measures how durable a character is; it is added to a character's equipment defense totals in determining how much physical damage they may endure.

In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] titles, '''Resilience''' determines a character's potential '''Hit Points'''. The maximum '''Hit Points''' at any time is between 195~205% of your '''Resilience''' score.

Any character can consume a [[seed of resilience]] to increase this attribute.

==Wisdom==
'''Wisdom''' (''also localized as '''Intelligence''''') measures a character's natural cognitive ability.

In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] titles, '''Wisdom''' determines a character's potential '''Magic Points'''. Your maximum '''Magic Points''' at any time is 195~205% of your '''Wisdom''' score. Additionally, the stat determined how quickly a character could learn a new spell in the 8-bit version of [[Dragon Quest IV]]. If the character's '''wisdom''' was not high enough, learning a spell could be delayed by up to five levels.

In later titles, Wisdom is a curious attribute as it's function has changed greatly throughout the series. For the majority of its appearances, the Wisdom stat has controlled a character's ability to dodge harmful magic (I.E., a stat of 250 will give a character a twenty five percent chance to avoid a debilitating spell such as [[Snooze]]). Starting with ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'', however, Wisdom has begun to effect the potency and power of spells, such as raising [[Frizz]]'s power from 10~13 to 21~24 at higher values.

Any character can consume a [[seed of wisdom]] to increase this attribute.

==Luck==
In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] titles, '''Luck''' affects your character's chances of being affected by status ailments such as Snooze, Fizzle, and Dazzle.

In later titles, '''Luck''' is a demonstration of a character's positive causality, in the frequency of how often they perform Critical Hits.

==Style==
'''Style''' is the predecessor of the Charm attribute to be found in later games, and as such it describes a character's innate charisma and attractiveness. Through the [[Luminary]] vocation, Style effects how often a monster may become temporarily enthralled by a character's appearance, stunning them for a short time. Outside of battle, Style determines a character's placement in the contests such as the World Style Ranking in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''.

==Deftness==
'''Deftness''' measures the ability of a character to steal an item from an enemy, as well as controlling how frequently a character may perform a critical hit, performing preemptive strikes on enemies, and the ability to escape from battle. It should be noted that the '''Luck''' statistic is not present in games that feature Deftness.

Steal rate is calculated as Steal Rate = (Drop Rate * 2)(1 + (Deftness – 51) / 474)

Critical Hit rate is calculated as Deftness/100 + 3% (with weapon skill trait). Wearing the Critical Acclaim will add another 4%.

Any character can consume a [[seed of deftness]] to increase this attribute.

==Charm==
'''Charm''' is a measurement of a character's attractiveness. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'', it is added to a character's equipment style rating in determining how often they may [[enthrall]] a monster.

==Magical Mending==
'''Magical Mending''' determines how powerful a character's healing spells will be. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'', it is calculated in all healing spells, as well as certain offensive skills such as Solar Flair.

Any character can consume a [[seed of therapeusis]] to increase this attribute.

==Magical Might==
'''Magical Might''' determines how powerful a character's attack spells will be. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'', it is calculated in all offensive magical spells, as well as magical skills such as [[Gigaslash]].

Any character can consume a [[seed of sorcery]] to increase this attribute.

==Attack==
'''Attack''' is used to determine how hard a character can hit with melee attacks. It is checked against the enemy's Defense in calculation of damage inflicted.

Attack is derived from a character's strength score added to their weapon's attack rating, which is then divided by two, plus bonuses from certain accessories or traits.

==Defense==
'''Defense''' is used to determine how well a character or monster can withstand full contact melee attacks. It is checked against the enemy's Attack in calculation of damage inflicted. It has no effect on magical or breath damage.

In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] titles, '''Defense''' is the sum of half a character's Agility and the sum of their armor's durability.

In other titles, '''Defense''' is the sum of a character's resilience and the durability of their armor.

Tension

2015-07-29T01:57:38Z

108.193.60.159:

'''Tension''' is a status effect in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest Series]]. It was introduced in [[Dragon Quest VIII]] and surrounds the user in an aura of malice, multiplying their strength for the next attack.

==Previous Incarnations==
In previous Dragon Quest games, there were skills that can increase damage on the next attack such as [[Focus Strength]]. These skills would only affect the user for one turn, and could not stack with successive uses.

==What is Tension?==
Tension is a state of building up power to unleash in a future action. In Dragon Quest VIII, every party member has an option called '''Psyche Up''' found at the bottom right of the battle options. This allows the player to take a turn to build up tension. The more times tension is built, the more powerful the next action will be. There are four levels of tension, representing percentages that the next action will be: 5, 20, 50, and 100. These percentages are added to the normal stats of a character.

Tension

It also works on magic as well:

[[Angelo|Angelo's]] Multiheal spell will heal ~100 HP to everyone. In a state of 50 tension, it can heal ~500 HP to everyone.

Tension does not work on skills that do no damage nor is it depleted when using such skills, such as the Underpants Dance.

Once an action like attacking or spell casting uses tension, tension is returned to the normal level.

Some enemies also have the ability of building tension, making them tougher in battles. Fortunately, monster tension is less effective than a human character's:

Tension

Multiplier

==Super High Tension==
Using Psyche Up normally, a party member can reach 50 tension without difficulty. However, there is only a 1/3 chance to increase from 50 to 100 tension, wasting the turn if the transition is not made. Fortunately that party member will not lose the tension already accumulated. When a character reaches 100 tension, their polygon model will change to reflect their anger.

==Other Ways of Building Tension==
Besides Psyche Up, there are other ways of building Tension. In ''Dragon Quest VIII'', the [[Timbrel of Tension]] boosted everyone's tension levels by one. A player could also make High Strung Cheese with alchemy, boosting everyone's tension levels by one.

In ''Dragon Quest IX'', [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|the Hero]] has the ability [[Egg On]], building another party member's tension level by one. The ability [[Feel the Burn]], obtained by maxing out the [[Gladiator]]'s "Guts" skill, raises tension whenever the character is hit while in effect.

==Restrictions==
There are limits to Tension. Tension does not carry over after battle ends, with one exception: in ''Dragon Quest IX'', the the Martial Artist's Manual allows it to be retained as long as it is in the character's inventory.

Tension is lost if a character is put to sleep, paralyzed, cursed, disabled by something like [[War Cry]], dispelled by [[Disruptive Wave]], or defeated in battle.

In ''Dragon Quest IX'', [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|the Hero]] has the ability [[Egg On]], building another party member's tension level by one. The ability [[Feel the Burn]], obtained by maxing out the [[Gladiator]]'s "Guts" skill, raises tension whenever the character is hit while in effect.

==Restrictions==
There are limits to Tension. Tension does not carry over after battle ends, with one exception: in ''Dragon Quest IX'', the the Martial Artist's Manual allows it to be retained as long as it is in the character's inventory.

Tension is lost if a character is put to sleep, paralyzed, cursed, disabled by something like [[War Cry]], dispelled by [[Disruptive Wave]], or defeated in battle.

Sage

[[Image:DQIIISageClass.png|300px|right]]
The '''Sage''' is a recurring vocation in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Proficient with both schools of magic, they are often the most powerful casters in their respective games.

==Requirements==
Irrespective of the title is being played, the path of the Sage always entails steep prerequisites.

===[[Dragon Quest III]]===
In order for a party member to become a Sage, that member must be level 20 and have the [[Book of Satori|Words of Wisdom]] and take it to the [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest III)|Alltrades Abbey]]. There, they may become a Sage. The [[Gadabout]] is the only class that doesn't need the scroll to become a Sage; instead, all they need is to reach level 20.

===[[Dragon Quest VI]]===
In order to become a Sage, the party member must first master the [[Mage]] and the [[Priest]] vocations.

===[[Dragon Quest VII]]===
In order to become a sage in ''Dragon Quest VII'', the party member must first master both the Priest and Mage classes. As a Sage, that particular party member's spells will cost less MP to cast as their rank increases, eventually casting for only 50% of the original cost.

(The Sage vocation is late in the game after completing Quest 115. Sages have the unique skillset "Enlightenment", and can also use skill points to learn [[Boomerang]], [[Bow]], [[Wand]], and [[Shield]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Spelly Breath," which recharges a portion of their MP.

Sages are no longer the literal hybrid of [[Magi|mage]] and [[Priest]]s, but nevertheless have access to incredible magical capabilities. They can reinforce the party with kabuff and magic barrier, decimate foes with darkness and explosions, and keep their allies alive with Multi-and-Moreheal. However, Sages can't deal the same level of damage Magi can, nor can they heal as effectively as a Priest. Thus, parties seeking powerful multi-target damage should stick with a Mage, and those wanting powerful healing spells should stick with a Priest. On the other hand, combining the elements of a Mage and a Priest can free up a slot in the party, allowing for more versatile combinations.

Ranger

2015-07-15T02:08:15Z

108.193.60.159: added changes for mobile phone version

[[File:Ranger.png|thumb|218px]]The '''Ranger''' is a character class in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series.

==Description==
The Ranger differs from game to game. In ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'', the Ranger has good Agility and Wisdom. In ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'', the Ranger is most Deft of all vocations. In each incarnation, the Ranger learns an assortment of nature themed skills, and typically plays a supporting role in battle.

==Requirements==
===[[Dragon Quest VI]]===
A character requires skills from the [[Merchant]], [[Thief]] and [[Monster Master]] to become a Ranger.

===[[Dragon Quest VII]]===
The Ranger vocation does not appear in Dragon Quest VII; due to a localization error, the [[Armamentalist]] vocation was dubbed the Ranger.

===[[Dragon Quest IX]]===
[[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|The Hero]] must finish the quest Ranger Changer to unlock this vocation. By talking to a person at the base of the Heights of Lonelieness, the player can accept a quest which involves poisoning Hocus Chimeras and then letting them die by poison, nothing else. After doing this 3 times, the ranger vocation is unlocked.

Milly dresses in a blue overcoat with white pants and blouse, and a breastplate from which her yellow streamers extend. Her accessories include a tiara with matching necklace, and two silver wristbands.

Ever polite and compassionate, Milly keeps a calming, almost motherly air about herself that belies her young age. Though no true facade, this outer personality masks the scars of a harsh childhood, and hides a deeply rooted sense of longing to be close to others. It's because of the somber past that Milly possesses an indomitable sense of courage, as evidenced by her volunteering to assist in the attack on Murdaw's Keep at the beginning of the game.

This is not to say that the young woman is perpetually serious, however; party chant and scripted cut-scenes reveal a sprightliness rivaling [[Ashlynn]]'s, with Milly often succumbing to bouts of laughter and beaming smiles.

==Story==
{{spoiler|start}}
===Dragon Quest Monsters===
In Dragon Quest Monsters, Milly ( dubbed Milayou in the game's localization) is kidnapped during the first scene of the game by a creature known as [[Warubou]], who takes her to [[Greatlog]] for an unknown reason. It is likely that the kingdom was searching for a contender in the Starry Night Tournament, though this is not hinted at. Around the end of the game, when her brother Terry enters the final rounds of the Starry Night Tournament, it is revealed that she is the current champion. Her party consists of a [[metal king slime]], a [[prism peacock]], and a [[coatol]].

===Dragon Quest VI===
As the story of ''Dragon Quest VI'' unfolds, the player learns that Milly and Terry both lived in [[Felonia]] when they were children. Milly was given to the former king of Felonia as a personal slave, and later imprisoned in the castle's dungeon when she resisted his advances. Milly later escaped, and met up with the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|hero]] before the first attack on [[Murdaw]].

Later, Milly brought the hero and [[Carver]] to Madame Luca, helping them to become visible in the lower world. Milly then rejoined the hero's party, traveling the worlds until she had found her missing brother, helped defeat [[Mortamor]], and returned peace to the world.

In the [[Nintendo DS]] version, she takes part in battles before hand, though as an uncontrollable character.
