Skills in Dragon Quest IX are awarded using a points-based system that is tied to character level. As a character gains levels, they are awarded points that they may apply toward class-specific skills. For each character class, a total of 200 skill points can be earned by growing from level 1 to 99. These points are distributed in a normal distribution over the span of levels.

For full lists of each different skill type, see Lists of abilities in Dragon Quest IX.

Applying skill points

For each class, only a subset of skills are increased using skill points. This means that strategy must be applied in order to maximize the capabilities of a character as they gain levels and change classes.

Class/Skill matrix

This table does not include skills which are available to only a single class or the Hero skills.

Class

Spear
Staff
Knife
Shield
Claw
Whip
Fan
Axe
Hammer
Fisticuffs
Wand
Bow
Boomerang
Minstrel yes yes yes yes
Warrior yes yes yes yes
Martial Artist yes yes yes yes
Priest yes yes yes yes
Mage yes yes yes yes
Thief yes yes yes yes
Gladiator yes yes yes yes
Armamentalist yes yes yes yes
Paladin yes yes yes yes
Ranger yes yes yes yes
Sage yes yes yes yes
Luminary yes yes yes yes

Maximizing Character Skills

There are 12 class-specific skill types and 14 multi-class skills types. Since each vocation receives a maximum 200 skill points, it is impossible to fully maximize a single character's skills without using Seeds of skill or revocating. No matter what strategy is applied in distributing skill points, a character will be 200 points short of the required amount of skill points. However, after revocating, a character can easily achieve the final 200 points needed.
