Editing Quester's Rest (section)

==Functions==
===Rest at the inn===
At the most basic level, the Quester's Rest is just like any other inn.  Erinn charges 3g per person to stay until evening or until the following morning.  This amount is considered a "staff rate" due to the hero's familiarity with Erinn.

===Party creation===
''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'' features the ability to create a custom party of characters to accompany the hero.  The Quester's Rest is where party members can be created, added, removed or dismissed.  This is all accomplished by talking to Patty over the counter.  Bonus characters which are unlocked by completing certain quests are also accessible in this same location.  Note that party creation is much more advanced in ''Dragon Quest IX'' than in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''.  The player can customize the entire appearance of each character, from hairstyle to height.  3 characters are automatically created when the player begins a new game.

===Rainbow's End Gold Bank===
The only bank in the game is located inside the first floor of the Quester's Rest.  It is run by Ginny and accepts deposits in multiples of 1000g.  

===Alchemy===
:''See main article [[Alchemy]]''
Alchemy is available after defeating [[Morag]] in [[Brigadoom]] and reporting to [[King Schott]] in [[Stornway Castle]].  After this has happened, Erinn will find [[Krak Pot]] and place him on the counter on the first floor.  The player is then free to use alchemy to create items.  

===Multiplayer===
{{Dragon Quest IX}} has a local multiplayer mode where the hero can join another player's world and play collaboratively. This is accessed by talking to [[List of characters in Dragon Quest IX#Pavo|Pavo]] on the first floor of the inn.  Pavo is a Celestrian and is invisible to the other inn workers.

===Online shop===
:''See main article [[DQVC]]''
The online shop, or [[DQVC]] can be accessed from the Quester's Rest by talking to [[Sellma]] on the first floor.  This shop uses Wi-Fi to connect to remote servers to retrieve a special list of items which can be purchased from Sellma.  These items vary each day that the player connects to the shop. However, on May 20, 2014, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service ended for the original Nintendo DS, ending the lifespan of the DQVC.

===Tag mode===
:''See main article [[Tag Mode]]''
[[Tag Mode]] is another local wireless mode where players can pass information to other players.  It is accessed by talking to Erinn on the first floor. Using tag mode, a player can "canvass for guests" or seek to add guests to his/her inn by encountering other ''Dragon Quest IX'' players in tag mode. Tag mode directly relates to expanding the Quester's Rest (see below).
