Okay, I just got my ship(taking it slow) and I have no idea where to go now. Does anyone? Half my map is not complete, and I'm still trying to find the best place for farming exp at this point in the game.
Does the ranger class allow you to recruit enemies ala DQ 5, cause that would be cool....

defeat Wight Knight and get to Brigadoom
Anyways, I just beat
Morag. The Wight Knight story was surprisingly heartwarming, when he first appeared I thought he was your typical jobber boss that would disappear after you beat him, but they made a nice little story out of it.
And at what point of the game can I change classes? I don't want to be a minstrel forever!
Just got my first map today from a quest; which coincided with my first party wipe.
Got to the boss of the dungeon with full health/mp for all my party (we are level 20) but we just couldn't take him. Did not know these bosses would be so hard, hardest boss I have faced in the game so far
The dungeon boss was called
and he had all these crazy spells that would hit the whole party and reduce our agility/defense/attack. He also got to attack 2x per turn, and his physical attacks did ~50-80HP of damage when my HP ranges are from 100-130. :/
It wasn't a complete slaughter, we held our own for a long time, and I estimate I did close to 800-1,000dmg to him over that time. But he never fell.
Guess I will continue on the main story before I try to do any more treasure hunting.
Also, I was in tag mode, but didn't encounter anyone today. I will keep trying tho just in case there is someone else out there looking for a tag.

I've defeated up to the Zere Rocks boss.
The dungeon boss was called

Ugh... earning these extra jobs is annoying. Both Armamentalist and Ranger. Gladiator was easy. I hope Paladin isn't frustrating...

I remember reading, a few pages back, that rangers have the highest natural deftness in the game. So, in theory, rangers should be the best thieves. Especially if they acquire the deftness bonuses from the thief job.
Given the way stealing %s work in this game, it seems like the best way to steal would be to convert your whole party and do 4x stealing vs mobs you need items from specifically, rather than wasting time trying to steal with one character for the whole game, losing a ton of turns, and only getting a handful of random items.

just beat the haunted housekeeper, wooooo! come here my purrcy cat
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I switched my Minstrel role to Warrior role. Big improvement so far.
Oh, and as much as I love the equipments-changing-avatars feature, the best equipment will make my characters look like doofuses. My Martial Artist looks like a doofus.

So I beat my first treasure map dungeon. I received another map, which I will pursue tomorrow, as it's nearly 4am here. Question though: There are 3 slots when I look at the map I just did, one, containing the map I won as a prize, the others "???????".
If I replay that map, will I get (Or have a chance of getting) something else if I beat (I assume) the same bossfight again?

Where did you order from wrowa ?
I've just found the scarewolves for the level 15 Martial Artist quest, but my kills aren't registering...
Tried two so far...
What am I doing wrong?
Tried two so far...
1. Psyched to max, War Cried until it landed, then killed him with a single hit
2. Landed two hits with other people, War Cried, then landed the final blow from my Martial Artist

Ravidrath said:
If I remember correct, you have to land the final blow directly after war cry and before the wolfs turn, ie, before it says that he's to scared to attack.
The good thing is that the martial artist doesn't have to land the killing blow, so I more or less did like you did (except for the end). Had two characters attack, and on the next turn had my martial artist do war cry while my second fastest character finished him off.

i think you have to kill them when they are war cried and before their turn... that's what i am guessing, because i killed a lots of them and only 2 of them registered -.-
EDIT: beaten
EDIT2: Question! My Current line up is Minstrel, Mage, Priest and Martial Artist. I really would like to make my Mainchar a Warrior, but i am currently lvl 24 and if i change he will be lvl 1... it may have been answered but what carries over besides my swordskillpoints? do i keep some strength points etc? or do i have to level him in one of the starting sections? i am not really against grinding but ewww... if that's the case i guess i probably stay minstrel :/
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
A lackadaisical Celestrian who would rather spend his time barding and prancing than taking care of his assigned town; he often clashes with his master Aquila regarding his duties. When not loafing around during training time, Regulus secretly trains for the Glee Club annual Minstrel Tournament of the Observatory, having set his eyes upon his true love: the ukulele.
Born to a wealthy family of Lamopolis, Alicia has become sick of her opulent lifestyle and decided to fight against what she sees as the true evil of the world -the rigid and dull codes of The Man. While a perfectly posh princess during daytime, at night she dons the grooviest mantles of the city and sets off atop her wheels, proving that even the most babular babes can be the raddest dudes.
At 17 years old, Idanea is a no-nonsense girl with a strong sense of order and justice and the youngest graduate Uptight Tighties Law University has ever had. She's practising as a priest now, having gone to bankruptcy after the loss of a recent malpractice sue for one of her defendants (irony!). She often locks horns with Alicia because of her cool-headed nature, but she actually cares a lot for her partner.
Elizabet was once a cheery curling player from up north, until an accident with the slide stone caused a domino reaction starting with the decapitation of a member of the audience and ending with the collapse of the banking system of the country. The guilt from the incident weighs heavily on her shoulders, forcing her to shut her feelings off from the world by acting distant and uncaring. Despite her fatalistic attitude, she is actually a girl with a heart of gold who would give anything for her teammates.
Together, they fight crime!

DQVC is working today and has a downloadable quest. I've got the quest in my list but it won't tell me what it is and says I can't do it.
I got to the boss of my treasure map -- it's a level 18 map -- and he kicked my ass pretty hard. I was about level 20 on average, so changed classes to try and gain some better skills.

Hmm... I think I'll change my Mage-turned-Minstrel into a Ranger. He's sort of my experimental party member.
I might see about a few more Acquisitiveness skills for my Thief before sending him back to Priesthood.
Edit: After seeing the Ranger skills, maybe I'll take this opportunity to instead keep bumping up my MA's agility and the like. But it's a tough call.

Can't post pictures from here, but my paladin is decked out in class gear. The visible equipment really shines here.
Almost done with all the Lvl 15 quests, and about to venture out to complete the Weapon quests. So much to do and so little time!

Ugh... This level 15 Paladin quest with pincushion is pissing me off. The armors keep calling slimes to heal, and when pincushion does do damage, it only does ~2. Does anyone have any tips?
Could they make changing vocations any more painful? Jesus christ game.
I'm ok with having to go to the abby
But then not only do you have a long ass pointless walk up the abby steps, then to the very back of the abby, but then you mash a while the guy talks to you about changing vocations, plus an animation, plus telling you about equipment.
Would it be so hard to just let me use a menu to instantly switch? Changing jobs in any game should be a 2 second thing at most.
I love the DQ games a lot more if they weren't so determined to keep such archaic things like that in place that slow everything down.
Oh well, at least I have my gladiator now.
