In Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D RemakeThere are 10 vocations available for the player to use. Each Vocation learns a predetermined set of Skills and/or Spells, with the levels at which they are learned fluctuating to a small degree. Unlocking all the skills and spells can be quite a difficult task as it would require changing vocations several times on different characters.
Because of this, it is more worthwhile for the average player to formulate a plan and prioritize unlocking certain Skills and Abilities that can be used together effectively. For example, Wizard spells like Oomph and Buff can be used very effectively by a warrior using skills like Sword Dance and Forbearance. It’s also worth noting that a character’s stats are halved when multiclassing vocations, so be sure to create class combos that benefit from their respective high stats.

Use the calling of the wise
To unlock all of the best spells in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, players should look no further than the Sage class. Disregarding some spells that only the Hero can learn, such as Kaclang and Kazap, the Sage can learn every spell in the game. They learn all the spells of the Mage and Priest vocations at level 40, which is quite early to unlock everything. As such, players must prioritize MP and Wisdom stats on a Sage to make them as versatile and effective as possible.

To build the most effective Sage possible, players should invest in the Gadabout vocationno matter how difficult it is to increase them to the end. Typically, switching to a Sage requires a Words of Wisdom book, of which there are only a few in the entire game. To get around this restriction, leveling up a Gadabout will allow that character to change to a Sage for free with no drawbacks. Gadabouts also learn one of the best abilities in the game, Channel Anger, a 50% buff to all offensive spells, which is incredibly useful for a Sage.

Search the world for monsters
The best skills in the game can be quite difficult to acquire, as most of them are not unlocked until the player reaches levels in their 30s and 40s. However, abilities can often be more useful than spells simply because abilities cannot be sealed by enemy attacks like Fizzle. It’s worth it for players to have access to abilities that can heal the party, like Hustle Dance, as player spells are frequently sealed in the second half of the game. Abilities that also strengthen the party are invaluable in Dragon Quest and can often turn the tide of a fight.

THE Wrangler and Gadabout Monster have arguably the best skills in the game. Gadabout’s Channel Anger and Hustle Dance are incredibly strong during boss fights, and Monster Wrangler’s Monster Pile-On may be the most damaging attack in the game. Its damage increases according to the number of monsters the player has rescued, meaning it is not directly affected by stats and can be used effectively in any character build.
I recommend increasing a Monster Wrangler’s Agility as high as possible, which can be done by switching it to or from a Martial Artist.
When switching vocations, be sure to change characters’ personalities to level the correct stats. While players can probably get through most of the game comfortably using whatever they want, some of the late-game and post-game content can cause frustration in groups that are underleveled or underequipped. Making use of the game’s most powerful spells and abilities can help players face these challenges with more confidence, as well as enjoy them more. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.
