Yup, I could connect to the DQVC too. But my store just had bunch of common alchemy ingredients. How do you know if you've been given a quest? Do you purchase the quest like an item?

You don't go to the shop for the quests. You have to talk to the Innkeeper woman, whatever name they've given her in English.Reluctant-Hero said:

Let them kill a party member or two, take off your paladins armor, try to do 100-110 damage (Boulder Toss worked for me), then just pass the turns with pincushion until it's dead. Shouldn't take too long.Easystride said:

I didn't get any special notification from the Innkeeper. But I checked my quest log and I have a new entry for "Extra Quests". Lo and behold, quest #121 is there... but I can't accept it yet.

After I completed the download, a little message came up that said a new quest had been received. You might have just pressed the button through it.Reluctant-Hero said:
I have a couple questions (as if this thread didn't have enough of them already 
)
If I want to play through the whole game with my gf;
- Can we just play with the two of us, no companions at all?
- Can we play with one companion, leaving the 4th spot empty?
- If I got it right, she won't be able to change classes at the same time as I do if I'm host. We'll have to play with her as a host too. Is there anything else that will have to be double played, and after how many hours of play do you get rid of those "annoyance" (they are, for someone who wants to play multiplayer all the way from the start)

You can play with just you two with one companion, two of you with one companion, two of you with two companions. Completely up to you. Might be harder, though.

It wouldn't bother me in a "normal" DQ game, but some of the DQ regulars like the flavor text grate on me when I'm trying to finish an irritating quest or level a new vocation.Himuro said:

Hey hey hey no one said archaic! I just wanted to strangle the Priest in the Nomad town after my low level Priest kept dying on me while I was doing the 15 Gladiator quest.Aeana said:

Definitely worth the $29.99!Tarazet said:
Even if it doesn't sell well, I typically haven't seen retailers discounting Nintendo's self-publisher DS games. I'd also imagine that Nintendo didn't print millions of copies like they would with say... Pokemon.

Anyone recommend some good exp/metal slime spots? Party is sitting at level 21

Thanks.
Meant to ask in previous post. What are good mobs for gold drops?

Lv20, just made it to the abbey.
Sadly I think the gooey gear is ruining the impact of my story. :lol Hard to talk about the fate of the world when my hero is wearing a giant cosplay shamu.

Okay, I think I've got a party configuration I'll stick with for more than an hour, at least until a new class opens up.
Warrior w/ Psyche Up
Ranger (previously MA)
Priest (extra agility from Thief)
Minstrel (probably going to see how this one progresses - the 30 point Might/Mending boosts are nice to look forward to)

Thanks for the tips. It made this quest much easier. My paladin looks pretty awesome now.Freyjadour said:
Finished it today, 37 hours with a team of level 34 warrior, martial artist, minstrel and priest...
First time I don't use black magic in a dq game (in fact 80% of skills and magic are useless, IMO).
Gonna take a break before going into post game content...I can never seem to get motivated to play it in previous dq games, I hope this one gets me going.
Btw, is there a list of post game content available somewhere?

No problem, happy to help.Easystride said:
Someone sent out a "turn on yer tag mode" email at work and so I walked around the office and got three tags. I'm surprised how long it takes to connect. I was talking to someone and I got his neighbours tag, but that neighbour later came to my desk because he never got me. There goes my idea of putting on tag mode then biking to work and getting tags :'(
So I've invited all these guys to royal suites and I can talk to them and look at their game data. How do I get maps? Have they had to found maps in the game somehow prior? Do I have to be past a certain point in the game? I just finished the Wight Knight quest.

I've built up a decent stash of various seeds and I've been reluctant to use them. How do they work in DQIX? If I apply them to a character, do they raise stats across all the jobs toe that character? Or do they only raise stats for the particular job the charter is in when they're used?
I am in love with this game so far. I felt like I am playing a RPG back when I was a kid. When everything was simple and with a lot of charms, and totally feel like I am on a quest of my own to explore the world.
But on the other hand, I have to wonder if this game would get any attention or the praise it got had it not have a Dragon Quest name attached to it. People would just criticize it for being too simplistic and traditional.
