INTRODUCTION
################################################################################
This document is basically designed as a spoiler-free, comprehensive document on
the basic game system and mechanics of Dragon Quest VII. Its main purpose is to
provide in-depth information on how the game works without giving away any of
the secrets, story, etc.
In terms of translations, I've taken a different approach in this document than
my earlier FAQs, and instead of primarily using Japanese terminology romanized,
I've made attempts at translating most of the words that can be done
effectively. Any martial arts techniques, words with no English equivalent, or
something that would sound really clunky in English, (e.g. the Thief Rank
titles, which are mostly Yakuza ranks) I've left as romanized Japanese. I've
tried to make translations consistent throughout the document, but I may have
slipped in a few places. (I kind of stink in that department--when I deal with
Japanese media, I tend to think in Japanese, rather than convert it in my head
to English, which makes consistent translation hard) Please bear with me.
The purpose of this FAQ is to assist people who bought the import version of
Dragon Quest VII, but have limited or no Japanese ability. (Of course, if you
are fluent, you may still find this document of use) This is not a Dragon
Warrior VII FAQ. (if it ever gets released) Therefore, if DWVII comes out,
sections of this document may not apply to it. If you are playing Dragon Warrior
VII, please do not mail me about it. As I don't own a domestic PSX, I will not
be able to play any domestic releases, so I will not be able to help you. For
the same reason, I will not be making an adaptation of this document to better
fit any domestic releases of Dragon Quest VII, though I may allow a friend to do
so.
Bottom line: If you are playing Dragon Warrior VII, use this document at your
own risk, and don't expect me to be able to provide any clarification--any
questions about any domestic releases will not be answered. I hate to be a bear
like this, but I'm kind of between a rock and a hard place in this aspect.
OK, enough yapping, onto the FAQ!

-------------
MENU COMMANDS
-------------
Non-Combat:
Speak (ÍÈ·): Talk to the person you are facing. If nobody is facing you, then
you will talk to the members of your party. They will give you hints, comment
on the current situation, etc.
Item (Ǥ®): Item maintenance/usage. Before you can do anything with items,
you need to select whose items you want to deal with. Once you select a
character, you'll get the following options:
Use (©¤): Use the item.
Give (í½·): Give the item to someone else. After you select a person, you'll
select a slot in their inventory. If you select an occupied slot, you will
swap the items. If you give someone an item that they can equip, you'll get a
message asking if you want to equip the item.
Equip (»¤Ñ): Equip the item. Obviously you can't equip every item, nor can
the bag equip anything (you won't even get this choice with the bag)
Drop (·Äé): Drop the item.
Stop (âßé): Close all windows.
Strength (Âæ³): Look at your characters' status, either individually or as a
group.
Spells (¶ãàñ): Use your non-combat Spells and Abilities.
Examine (µç×é): Search in front of you. If nothing is in front of you,
you'll search the area around your feet.
Plan (³¹ñ): Change several aspects of how you play/interface:
Equip (»¤Ñ): Pick a character, and it asks you to equip something for each
slot, showing you all the choices you've got based on what that character is

Fight (½½©¤): Fight the enemy.
Talk (ÍÈ·): Talk to your party members. They'll give you hints, comment on
the current status of the battle, etc. Spend too much time jabbering with your
comrades and the enemy will attack and get a free round. "Too much time" is
usually more than twice, but sometimes you can talk three times and still not
lose your round.
Sakusen (³¹ñ): Plan. Here you can change your characters' battle plans. See
the Combat section for more details on each plan.

STATUS SCREEN
-------------
Here you can see all the relevent info on your characters. Here's a quick
runthrough of each stat, and what it does.
HP: Hit Points. How much life your character has left. If your character hits 0
HP, he/she dies. Dead characters need to either be brought back to life at a

your defense rating.
Intelligence (©µ±³): Your character's intelligence level. The higher your
intelligence, the better your chance to resist magic.
Style (©Á±æ³): A measure of your character's physical beauty and style.
This stat is influenced by the equipment your character is wearing. It has no
impact on combat whatsoever, but is important in the Ranking system of the
game.

weapon.
Defense Power (µãÑÍ): Calculated from your Defense and the strength of your
armor.
Max HP (³¢¾¢HP): The maximum level your HP can go.
Max MP (³¢¾¢HP): The maximum level your MP can go to.
Ex: Your character's current Experience Points. Raise your Experience high
enough, and you'll go up levels.
------
COMBAT
------
Combat in DQVII is very similar to the earlier DQ games. Each battle is divided
into "rounds" where all the actions take place. You decide what you want your
party to do in the upcoming round, and once you confirm your decisions, the
battle actually takes place. Enemies are subdivided into groups. Groups always
break down by monster type, but you can have multiple groups of the same enemy.
For example, you could have two groups of three Slimes. Every attack or spell
either affects a single enemy, a group, or all enemies. For the purposes of
enemy attacks, your entire party is considered one group.
Attack Order:
For the most part, the order in which you and your enemies act in a round is
dependant upon your Speed ratings. Faster characters act first, slower
characters act last. However, there is a randomness factor thrown in--just
because your character is faster than the monsters is no guarantee that they
won't get to strike first. The larger the gap between two characters' speed, the
smaller the chance that the slower character will attack first, until that
chance becomes 0.
Resistances:
There are eighteen basic resistances that every monster and character has
in-game. Eight of them are damaged based--one for each of the six basic types of
offensive spells, (Mera, Gira, Hyado, Io, Bagi, and Dein) one for flame attacks,
and one for ice attacks. In addition, there are nine status resistances: Death
attacks (includes Zaki spells), Paralysis, Poison, Manusa, Confusion, Sleep
attacks (Includes Rariho spells), Nifuram, Rukani, Mahoton, and Mahotora.
There are four levels of resistance for each attack. Someone with level 1
resistance to something will take full damage from the attack, and someone with
level 4 resistance will be completely immune. With status resistances, it's a
question
of how often a spell will work; with level 1 resistance, spells of that type
will always work; with level 4, they never will. By default, party members start
with some innate resistance to Paralysis, Poison, Manusa, Mahoton, Confusion,
Death, and Sleep, and immunity to Nifuram. Normally this won't change, but some
armor will raise specific resistances, and there are spells to raise resistance
as well. The only way to increase base resistance is through certain jobs. There
is some equipment that actually reduces your magic resistance--in this case, it
is possible to have spells do more damage than they are supposed to. (You won't
see this with monsters, of course)
Battle Plans:
There are six Battle Plans that you can give each of your characters. Rather
than earlier Dragon Quest games, where you would apply a single Plan to the
entire party, you can hand out plans on an individual basis. Of course, you can
apply the same Plan to your entire party. Plans affect the strategy the AI takes
when fighting monsters. You can't apply any Plan to your Hero--you must always
directly tell him what to do.
The six plans are:
Go all-out (KK¢±¤º)
This is a very offensive-oriented strategy. Characters using this Plan will do
whatever possible to kill the enemies, using their most powerful techniques and
fighting until they drop. They will pay no attention to MP consumption, and will
put little to no attention on defensive, support, or healing.
Do your best (ob`ªñÎê)
This strategy is balanced between offense and defense. Characters using this
Plan will usually fight to the best of their ability but not go overboard. They
will focus on attacking the enemy, but will also heal themselves or party
members should the need arises. Characters using this plan usually will not put
much thought into support, however. They will tend to use MP at a moderate rate.
Take care of yourselves (¢Ì¿¾¢¶É)
This is a defensive-oriented strategy. Characters using this Plan will put
almost all of their energy into healing and support, only attacking if there
is no need for defensive enhancement at all. They will have no qualms about
using up their MP to heal the party either.
Don't use spells (¶ãàñ©¤È)
When you don't want your characters wasting their MP, this plan is the way to
go. Characters using this plan will not cast any spells or use any techniques
that consume MP, relying solely on physical attacks and techniques that do not
use MP. In terms of offense/defense/support, this plan is close to the "Do your
best" plan in that it tries to strike a balance between offense and defense.
Leave it to me (¨êÉÜ©¹ë)
This was a useless Plan in DQ6, but now that you can assign it to an individual
character, it has some merit in DQ7. People using this plan will not attack the
enemy at all. Instead, they will focus all of their effort on using support
abilities to buff the party (focusing on the Hero) and inflicting status
ailments on the enemy.
Follow orders (ߢꢳ¹ë)
If you don't want the AI deciding what your characters will do, use this Plan.
Any characters using this Plan you control directly. Party members never disobey
orders either.

################################################################################
4. THE JOB SYSTEM
################################################################################
----------------------
MECHANICS AND OVERVIEW
----------------------
If you've played Dragon Quest VI, the job system in DQVII is essentially the
same. Reasonably early on in the game, you will find Darma, a palace where you
can change your characters' professions. Everyone starts the game "jobless,"
with a profession which cannot be advanced. Once you change their jobs at Darma,
however, they will start to learn spells and techniques appropriate to their new
job: Warriors will start to learn weapon techniques, Priests learn healing
spells, etc.
Any character can learn any job, but not every character will be equally
effective in the same profession. There's nothing stopping you from making
Maribel a Warrior, but her low strength and lack of powerful equipment available
to her will make her less effective. Similarly, you could make Gabo a Priest,
but since he has low MP he won't be able to use the spells he learns as often.
EFFECTS OF JOBS ON STATS:
-------------------------
What job you are in influences what your current stats are. Become a Thief, and
your Speed will shoot up. Become a Magic User, and your Strength will go down.
However, all these changes are temporary. Your stats when in a job are actually
"modified" off the stats of your base, "jobless" character. Therefore, it's
largely irrelevant in terms of leveling what job you are in. The stats you gain
when you level or use a stat-raising item are added to your "base" statistics,
then modified to affect your job. If you gain 5 levels as a Warrior, then change
to become a Dancer, you would have no less Strength as a Dancer than if you had
spent the last 5 levels as a Bard.
JOB ADVANCEMENT:
----------------
Advancement in a job is independant of any character levels. Each job has 8
levels, and every time you raise a job level, you will gain a new rank, and
usually a new spell or technique. In order to raise a job level, you need to
fight a predetermined number of battles. The number of battles you need to fight
depends on your job. For example, it takes many more battles to raise job levels
as a Sage than it does as a Thief. There is an old woman on the ground floor of
Darma who can tell you how many fights each person in your party needs before
they can advance to their next joblevel.
In order for a battle to "count" towards a new job level, the monsters you are
facing must be reasonably close to you in terms of strength and Experience
level. At level 20, you can clomp Slimes all day and go nowhere in terms of job
advancement.
For this reason, it is generally a very Bad Idea to sit around and bash monsters
for the purpose of gaining experience and gold--you might find yourself in a
situation where your levels are so high that none of the monsters available to
you will be considered worthy enough to advance your job levels.
JOB MASTERY AND JOB CHANGING:
------------------------------
When you reach level 8 of a job, you are considered a Master of that job. At
that point, you will have learned all the techniques and spells available to
that profession, and can move on to a new class. Mastery is not only important
in that it allows you to use all of a profession's techniques, but it also is a
prerequisite for learning the more powerful Jobs in the game.
If you change your profession, you will still be able to use any abilities or
spells that you had previously learned in your new class. So, if you were a
Magic User and then changed classes to become a Warrior, you would still be able
to cast all the spells you learned as a Magic User. In addition, providing that
you reached Level 5 or higher, you will remember the "basics" of your previous
job after switching. The "basics" have no impact whatsoever on your character's
general performance, but are important in learning hybrid techniques, discussed
a little bit later.
ADVANCED JOBS:
--------------
Advanced jobs are more powerful jobs that are not immediately available to
characters changing jobs for the first time. In order to have advanced jobs made
available to them, characters must first achieve Mastery in several prerequisite
jobs first. For example, the Paladin class is only available to characters who
have achieved Mastery in both the Martial Artist and Priest professions. There
are different prerequisites for each Advanced job. In general, it is a good idea
to think ahead in terms of what jobs you would like to pursue to make the
Advanced jobs available to you as soon as possible.
THIRD-TIER JOBS:
----------------
Third-tier jobs are the most difficult and time-consuming to achieve, but are
more powerful than any other. These jobs require mastery of multiple Advanced
jobs to achieve. In Dragon Quest VI, only the Hero was a third-tier Job, but in
Dragon Quest VII, in addition to the Hero, there are two additional third-tier
Jobs, the God Hand and the Tenchi-raimei-shi. They take a very long time to
build up to and master, but have some of the most powerful techniques and spells
in the game.
MONSTER JOBS:
-------------
Unlike earlier installments of Dragon Quest, in Dragon Quest VII you cannot get
monsters to join your party. Instead, they have replaced monster party members
with monster jobs. Monster jobs are similar to regular jobs in that you advance
in levels, gain ranks, spells and abilities in the same manner as "regular"
jobs. The difference is that in order to enter a monster job, you will need the
"spirit" of the monster you want to "become." You can find a few of these
"spirits" throughout the game in treasure chests and the like, but the bulk of
them you will get from monsters themselves. Sometimes after defeating monsters,
you will find crystals with their "spirit" in them. (e.g. you can find Slime
Spirits from defeating Slimes) Characters holding Monster spirits can change
jobs and "become" that monster.
When in a monster job, you will learn techniques associated with the monster you
have "become." In addition, your base resistances will change to mimic those of
your monster. When you reach Mastery of a Monster job, your character's graphic
will change to that of his or her monster. That's not all though; once reaching
Mastery in a monster job, a character's base resistances change again.
In addition to the standard monster jobs with no prerequisites, There are
Advanced, Third-Tier, Fourth-Tier, Fifth-Tier, and Sixth-Tier monster jobs.
(The highest monster job, the Platinum King, requires mastery of a whopping
13 jobs to enter) Fortunately, if you can get a Monster Spirit of one of the
Advanced or greater level jobs, you can use it to enter that job for free
without getting the prerequisite jobs.
HYBRID TECHNIQUES:
------------------
The standard method of learning a spell or ability is to enter the job
associated with it and raise to the necessary Job Level to gain it. However,
there exist quite a few spells and abilities that are independent of any single
class. You can discover these special skills through gaining experience in the
right combination of jobs; for this reason, I like to call them "Hybrid
techniques." An example of a hybrid technique would be the spell "Skult," which
raises your entire party's defense during battle. In order to learn Skult, you
must know the "basics" in both the Shepherd and Priest classes. When you have
the "basics" for both these jobs in your character's memory, you will gain the
Skult spell. Since each character can only have two classes' "basics" in memory,
this means you would have to go straight from being a Shepherd to a Priest, or
vice-versa, to learn the technique.
There is a workaround for this problem, however. It is possible to re-learn the
"basics" from a job that you have forgotten. So, let's say that we are trying to
teach Maribel Skult. First she was a Priest, but instead of becoming a Shepherd,
she became a Magic User. If she became a Shepherd at this point, she would not
learn Skult because the two jobs resident in her memory would be Magic User and
Shepherd. However, if she returned to the Priest job (even after Mastering it)
she could re-learn the Priest "basics," then become a Shepherd and learn the
spell.
Bottom line: If you want to re-learn the "basics" of a job you've forgotten,
return to that job and fight until the game gives you a message that you have
"gotten your sense back" in that job. (you'll get this message after roughly 30
fights) Then you can safely change classes to a profession that will teach you a
Hybrid technique.

5. SPELLS AND SKILLS
################################################################################
Due to the sheer number of jobs, and techniques learned by multiple jobs, I've
decided to seperate the spells and Abilities section by type rather than by job.
Since DQ7 seperates all Abilities and spells into attack/healing/other, I figure
I'll do the same.
KEY:
MP: MP it takes to cast spell or use skill: "A" means the spell takes all your
remaining MP.
TAR: Type of Target. S=Self 1=one target, G=group, A=All
DAM: Amount of damage (roughly) spell does to or heals target (with no
resistance if an attack) "V" indicates the damage varies (usually dependant on
the strength of the user) Note: these are rough guesses. I'm haven't done
enough trials with some of these spells.
DTYP: Type of Damage. M=Mera, G=Gira, H=Hyado, I=Io, B=Bagi, D=Dein, F=Fire,
C=Cold, O=Other, NA=Not Applicable

5. ITEM LIST
################################################################################
I've basically divided this section into several categories, one for each type
of item: Weapons, Armor, Shields, Helmets, Accessories, Items, and Key Items.
Items are anything that isn't equipment or a Key item. Note that some pieces of
equipment also serve as Key Items. (like the Mermaid Moon)
Key:
ATT=Attack Power item grants
DEF=Defense Power item grants
STY=Style Points item grants
1=Denotes whether something is a one-time-use item; that is, whether or not the
item can be "used up." Either "Y" for "Yes," "N" for "No," or "NA" for an item
that can't be used.
Notes: Any special properties said item has.
Effects: What the accessory in question "does."
I've left out the uses for the Key Items so as not to include any spoilers.

8. MINI-GAMES AND SUB-EVENTS
################################################################################
This section of the FAQ is here to describe in detail the many mini-games and
sub-events within DQ7. None of these events are critical to finishing the game,
but can be fun as diversions, and may net you a nice item or two.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE CASINO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What would a DQ game be without a casino? The DQVII Casino is very similar to
that of the DQVI Casino. All games are played via Coins, which you can buy at
the counter for 10GP/coin. At the prize counter, you can buy items with Coins.
And of course, you mostly gain coins through gambling them at the games. The
games you can play in DQVII are Poker and the Slots, plus a new game, Lucky
Panel.
POKER
-----
DQ Poker is solitaire Poker. The object of the game is to get good hands; the
better the hand you get, the more Coins you get. It's a little harder to win in
Poker in DQVII than it was in DQVI; a Joker no longer automatically guarantees
you a win, and payoffs are generally lower. The payoffs are, as follows:
Two Pair: 2 x bet
Three of a kind: 2 x bet
Straight: 3 x bet
Flush: 4 x bet
Full House: 5 x bet
Four of a Kind: 10 x bet
Straight Flush: 20 x bet
Five of a Kind: 50 x bet
Royal Flush: 100 x bet
Five Slimes: 500 x bet
(5 Slimes is a Royal Flush in the Slime suit)
DOUBLING UP:
Once you win a poker game, you can choose to try for a double-or-nothing game.
The dealer draws a card, and you have to decide whether you think the next card
will be higher or lower. (Aces high) If you guess right, you double your
winnings and can double-up again. If you guess wrong, you lose it all. In the
case of a "tie" (when the card drawn is the same value as the previous card)
another card is drawn, and you get to guess again. You can continue to double up
until 10 cards are drawn, at which point you keep your winnings and the game
stops.
SLOTS
-----
Slots are pretty straightforward. Get three of the same picture and you win. The
amount you win is based on the amount you bet and the pictures you match. If you
match some of the higher-up pictures, you will also win free games.
You can't manually stop the wheel unless the first two pictures match. Sometimes
when the first two pictures match, a warrior girl/Hondara/etc will come out and
change the last picture if you "lose," sometimes granting you an easy win.
If somehow you manage to go over 1,000,000 coins in wins through free games,
everything will stop, and you will lose all free games you had left over.
LUCKY PANEL
-----------
This is a new game to the DQ casinos. When you pay the fee to play, you are
shown a grid with 20 tiles. There are 6 pairs of zodiac tiles, 3 pairs of item
tiles, and one pair of hand tiles. There are two phases of the game, the
"peeking" phase and the "matching" phase. During the "peeking" phase, you can
turn over any six tiles you'd like and see what they are, after which they are
all turned face down again. (unless you picked a pair, in which case they stay
face up) During the "matching" phase you pick pairs of tiles, hoping they match
up. If they do not match up, you will lose one of your Chances. If you run out
of Chances, the game is over. (You get 3 Chances) If the tiles do match, they
stay face-up, and you are allowed to pick again.
WINNING:
Whenever you successfully turn over a pair of Item tiles, you will win whatever
item is displayed. These items can range from items as useless as Horse Dung to
items as rare and valuable as Monster Spirits. However, in order to actually
*keep* the items you win, you must complete the game by matching ALL the tiles.
If you successfully turn over every tile, then as a prize you are given all
three items.
HAND TILES:
There are two hand tiles, one "finger" tile and one "palm" tile. The "finger"
tile will give you an extra chance to make a mistake. The "palm" tile will
shuffle all the tiles on the board. Obviously, the "palm" tile is one you will
want to avoid, and the "finger" tile one you'll want to find early on in the
game. Note that if you turn over either of these tiles during the "peeking"
phase of the game, it is "safe." If you pick the palm tile at this point, you
will see what it is, but will not actually shuffle the tiles. (Finding the palm
tile early on actually gives you a strategic advantage, as you'll know what tile
NOT to pick during the "matching" phase of the game.) The two "Hand" tiles are
not considered a "match," so you can "win" the game without picking either of
them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE MONSTER MANUAL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reasonably early on in the game, you will get an item called the "Monster
Manual." You can open this Manual on the overworld and flip through its pages to
see all the monsters that you've met in the game so far. A picture of each
monster will be displayed on the left page, and its statistics will be displayed
on the right page. The statistics it gives you are:
Number of times defeated: How many times you've defeated that type of monster
Items dropped: Any items the monster has dropped
Experience Given: how much Experience you've gotten from that type of monster
Gold dropped: how much Gold you've gotten from that type of monster
If you press the Circle button while reading the Manual, the picture of the
monster will animate. By default, you get one animation. However, for every 20
monsters of that type you defeat, you will be able to view an additional
animation in the Manual, until you can watch all of its animations. In addition,
if you defeat 999 monsters of a single type, you can auto-cancel any battles you
encounter with that monster simply by pressing the X button as soon as you
encounter it.
COMPLETING THE MONSTER MANUAL:
In order to add a monster to the Manual, you don't actually have to defeat one;
all you need to do is meet one. Once you have completed the Monster Manual by
adding every monster in the game to it, you will get a Goddess Ring, one of the
most powerful Accessories in the game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE MONSTER PARK
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About 3/4 of the way through Disc 1, you'll get access to the Monster Park. The
Monster Park initially is a single house north of the town of Lumen. A man who
loves monsters (Monster Man hereafter) lives there. After you meet him, he will
give you the Monster Food and ask you to send him monsters to make a Monster
Park.
HOW TO GET MONSTERS TO "JOIN" YOU:
Virtually every monster in the game can be attracted and sent to the Monster
Park. All you need to do to attract a monster is to be holding the Monster Food
when you go into battle. (It doesn't matter who holds it--even the bag can) If
you succeed in charming the monster, once you win the battle it will get up and
you will have the option to tell it about the Monster Park. There are several
ways to better your chances of getting monsters to join you:
1) Use the Monster Hunter Skill "Monster Charm." This will greatly up your
chances of attracting your target. (If you target a monster and the skill has no
effect, then you cannot charm that monster at all--there are some special
monsters, like the Mechanical Soldiers, that cannot go to the Monster Park at
all.) The more times you use the skill in a battle, the better the chances of
it working.
2) Have a Monster Hunter in your party. Monster Hunters' innate skill is an
increased chance of getting monsters to join you.
3) Use a Meaty Bone or Super Seasoned Meat on your target. This is probably the
single most effective way of getting a monster to join you. You'll use up the
item, but the monster you target is almost guaranteed to be charmed, especially
with the Super Seasoned Meat. These items are reasonably rare, so don't waste
them!
4) Use the Monster Food on your target. I'm not 100% sure this makes a
difference, but the fact you can target a monster with it, and the message
displayed would lead one to believe it can affect your chances. (You can't use
up the food)
Also, I've noticed that the greater the difference in strength between your
party and the monsters you're fighting, the more often they will join. It may
just be a fluke, or perhaps the weak monsters I was fighting have a set rate of
being easy to "catch," but it seemed to work.
EXPANDING THE MONSTER PARK:
Once you charm a monster, it will go to the Monster Park. However, just because
you "caught" a monster doesn't necessarily mean that there is a spot for him in
the Park. Each monster has a specific type of habitat they can live in--Kimeras
live in mountains, undead live in graveyards, etc. When you first find the
Monster park, it has no habitats at all. However, if you bring Monster Habitat
Plans to the Monster Man, he will build new areas of the Park for monsters to
live in. You'll find these Plans in various parts of the world.
If you charm a monster, and there is no corresponding area for it in the Park,
the Monster Man will let you know the next time you visit him. Monsters without
homes don't disappear though--they stay in a state of limbo until a Habitat is
made for them, at which time they will be transferred to their new homes and you
can visit them.
MONSTER HOUSES:
One screen west of the Monster Man's house is an area where his assistant
manages Monster Houses. Initially after setting up the first Habitat, you will
get one Monster House, but as your Habitats and monsters increase in number,
more Houses will be built. If you talk to the Monster Man's assistant, he will
move any monster currently in the park (monsters in "limbo" don't count) that
you choose into a Monster House. Monster Houses can hold more than one of the
same type of monster--normally you can only "charm" one monster of each type,
but you can fill a Monster House with several of the same type of monster. So if
you decide you want to have a lot of Slimes, you can tell the assistant to move
your Slime into a house, and then you will be able to go out and charm more. I
haven't really found a practical use for doing this yet, but it can be fun to
amass an army of one type of monster. I've heard rumors that getting a lot of
one specific type of monster increases your chance of that monster dropping a
Spirit after a battle, but I haven't seen any sort of confirmation for this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE IMMIGRANT TOWN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Early on in the game you will meet an old man, Sim, in an open field. He wants
to make a town in the field, but without people, you can't have a town. He asks
you to travel the world and find people who would want to live in his town.
Once you have talked to Sim, people who want to move will spawn at various
predetermined spots in the world. Every time you move into an area with a spawn
spot, there is a random chance that a prospective immigrant will be there. When
you talk to this person, you will have the option to tell them about your town--
if you do, they will move there. The more people you move into your town, the
larger it gets. At maximum, you can have 40 residents there. The actual
structure of the town will depend on what type of people are living there--if
you have a lot of merchants, there will be a lot of stores, if you have priests,
you'll have churches, etc.
TIPS FOR FINDING IMMIGRANTS:
Immigrants spawn randomly in specific spots. If you know for sure a certain area
is a spawn spot, you can force an immigrant spawn by running in and out of that
area until someone appears. Once an immigrant spawns in an area, nobody will
spawn there again until you reset the game. This holds true even if you didn't
have the immigrant move to your town, or even if you didn't speak to them.
Also, while the maximum population of your town is 40 people, the population cap
actually starts out much lower. The further you progress in the game, the higher
the population cap goes, until it finally hits 40. If your town is at the
population cap, no immigrants will spawn no matter where you go. Also the
maximum population of your town on Disk 1 is 27. As soon as you hit 27 people,
no more immigrants will spawn until you kick someone out or get to Disk 2.
KNOWN IMMIGRANT SPAWN SPOTS:
Immigrants mostly spawn in churches and inns, but here is a quick list of spawn
spots that I have seen and confirmed myself--if you know of any others, let me
know:
Grand Estard: Inn (2nd floor)
Woodpaluna: Inn
Engou: Inn
Orphie: Inn and Item Shop
Forish: Inn and Church
Greenflake Ruins: West edge of "town"
Memorial Leaf: Ruined hut on the way to the church
Darma: Second floor at one of the tables, Pub in the basement
Mezare: Inn and Church
Desert People's Village: Inn
Crage: Inn
Retrude: Inn and Church
Church near Harmelia: Inside
Harmelia: Inn, Church, and Pub
Lumen: Inn
Mardillas: Inn, Church, 2nd floor of NW tower in castle
Holy Wind Valley: Inn
Holy Wind Temple: Back room
Lebressack: Inn, Item Shop
Coastarl: Inn (2nd floor), Church (2nd floor), basement of armory
TOWN MAINTAINANCE:
When your population gets high enough and you start getting houses in your town,
Sim will move to his house nearby. If you talk to him, he will give you status
reports. Get enough people in your town, and you'll have the option to control
the population. You'll get three options: Population review, Immigrant Swap, and
Kick out Immigrant.
Population review:
Gives you a quick list of who lives in your town, what type of person they are,
and where you found them.
Immigrant swap:
With this option you can swap immigrants with another save game. Put the memory
card with your save game in slot 1, a memory card with a friend's save game in
slot 2, and providing both towns on the cards have enough people, you can start
swapping townspeople. However, once you trade someone, you can't trade them
back until you reset the game.
Kick out Immigrant:
Once your population hits 25, you can start kicking immigrants out of the town.
When you choose to do so, you'll get a random list of three immigrants that
"want to move." Pick one, and you can kick him/her out of town. If your
population reaches 24, you can no longer kick people out. While Sim warns you
that people you kick out are gone for good, this is actually not the case. I've
kicked people out of the town, only to find them again at a new spawn spot when
searching for new immigrants.
TOWN PHASES:
0~4 people: People wandering around a field
5~9 people: You can name the town. Default name is (hero name)burg, if you don't
like it, then (hero name)brook then (hero name) then you choose.
10~14 people: First buildings start to pop up
15~19 people: First store put in town.
20~24 people: Sim moves to his house. First inn put in town.
25~29 people: Church put in town. Stores separated into weapon, armor, and item.
30~34 people: Bank put in town.
35~40 people: Final Form of town
FINAL FORMS OF TOWNS:
Once you hit 35 or greater people in your town, the town reaches its final form.
There are five towns in total, and they depend on what type of people emigrated
there. Each "special" town type has its own advantage.
Default Final Form:
If your town doesn't meet the requirements for any of the "special" towns, this
is what you get. It's just a normal town.
Great Farm:
Requires: 13 farmers, 10 Hobbits, Horses, Pigs, and Cows (at least one of each).
This is the only place in the game you can buy the Orihalcon Fang. There's also
a Small medal here.
Great Holy Temple:
Requires: 20+ priests and nuns. This is the only place you can buy the Fan of
the Sun.
Premium Bazaar:
Requires: 21+ merchants. You can buy Metal King equipment and Meaty Bones here.
(Note that you can only buy a Meaty Bone if you don't have any)
Grand Slum:
Requires: 10 Bunny girls, bartenders and dancers, (at least one of each)
8 ruffians, and 6 sailors and prisoners. (at least one of each) You can get
really good things at this Casino, including an Iron Ball of Destruction, and
a Rainbow Peacock Spirit.
Getting all the Small Medals and items basically requires that you build your
town to its final form, "destroy" the town by kicking people out of it, and
"rebuilding" it by adding different types of people. This is really time-
consuming, (since there's no way to control what type of people spawn) so the
quick way to change your town type is to kick people out to below 35 people,
then use backed-up save games to swap people around, though it's kind of
cheating. You can't swap with a copy of your own game, however--you'll need to
start a new game and get to the point where you uncover the Immigrant Town, then
swap with that game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE MEDAL KING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Medal King makes yet another appearance in DQVII, though you won't find him
until you're well into the game. When you bring him your Small Medals, he will
take them and give you items based on the total number of Medals you've found so
far.
Here is a quick list of the items he will give you:
45 medals: Poison Needle
50 medals: Staff of Divine Wrath
58 medals: Megante Armband
65 medals: Miracle Sword
75 medals: Monster Habitat Plan
83 medals: Sage Stone
90 medals: Metal King Shield
95 medals: Amazing Borero
100 medals: Amazing Tablet?
110 medals: Platinum King Spirit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE RANKINGS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you reach the town of Retrude, you will have the option to enter the
Ranking contests. There are three Rankings: Power, Style, and Intelligence.
Basically with the Rankings you pit your Power, Style, Intelligence against the
other peopleentering.
In order to enter one of the Rankings, you need to go to the registrar and
register one of your characters. When you register, it will ask you which
character you'd like to enter, and which Ranking you'd like to record them in.
Once you choose, your current stat level is recorded and entered against all the
other "contestants." A single character can record themselves in more than one
Ranking, and multiple characters can participate in the same contest.
Once recorded, your Power/Style/Intelligence rankings will not change. If your
stats raise or lower after recording, your Ranking will not reflect it. So, if
your Power, Style, or Intelligence increases after recording yourself in the
Ranking, you should go back to the registrar and re-register yourself in the
contest. If you try to re-register with a LOWER value than before, the registrar
will warn you first.
You can view your Ranking by looking at the boards posted outside. It will show
you how high you are compared to the other people that have entered. Note that
your position on the ladder is not static. As you proceed through the game, more
NPCs will register themselves and the Rankigs will be changed accordingly. So
just because you have a high Ranking at the moment doesn't mean that someone
won't come along and beat your value.
If you manage to make it to the top of any of the Rankings, there will be a
little ceremony and a prize. The prizes are:
Power Contest: Hero Armband
Style Contest: Spangle Dress
Intelligence Contest: Helm of Knowledge OR Golden Tiara (if winner is Maribel)

8. STRATEGIES
################################################################################
This section is just a place for some miscellaneous gameplay tips for survival
in the DQVII world. They're mostly just tricks and strategies that I've found
useful. Depending on your play style, they may or may not be useful to you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPLORATION TIPS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The skill "Nose of the Thief" is your best friend when searching for items. It
costs 0 MP to use, and will tell you exactly how many items are left in the
current area, including secret and hidden items. You should use it in every
room, house, floor, and cave you go into to find out exactly how many items are
left. Note that book, well, pot, bag, and chest monsters will be included in the
total. Nose of the Thief will also tell you if a room is empty, so you can save
time by not searching it.
* If you know there's an item nearby, but can't find it, cast Remirama. If its
location is onscreen, it will light up. Remirama is less useful than it was in
DQVI and the DQIII remake because most items are hidden in less obscure places,
but it still helps.
* When searching for Small Medals, examine unlikely items. Not just in drawers,
chests, and pots, Small Medals can turn up in strange places, like in gravesites
and in the bottom of wells.
* If you're missing a Tablet Fragment, talk to the fortune teller in the valley
east of Forish. She will give you hints on where to look.
* For fast cash, play the Lucky Panel game in the Casino east of Darma, (or
Coastarl if you've gotten that far) and sell your winnings. You can win items
that sell for several thousand gold apiece. If you have the Grand Slum, don't
play the Panel game there--it costs 500 coins, but doesn't give any rewards that
the earlier casinos won't. (though it does give better rewards slightly more
often) The best Lucky Panel game is on the third floor of Coastarl, overall.
* The later Lucky Panel games are also the best places to get Monster Spirits.
You can't control which you will get, and you can't get all the Monster Spirits
via Lucky Panel, but you can usually get them via the Panel a lot faster than
out of treasure chests after battle.
* Doubling-up in Poker is probably the steadiest way to earn large amounts of
Coins. However, to get the really expensive stuff that costs tens of thousands
of Coins, the fastest method is to use the high-rolling Slot machines in the
later Casinos. Three 7s on a 100-coin machine net you 150,000 coins. Slots are
nowhere nearly as reliable as Poker, however.
* Like real life, some slot machines have better chances of getting a win than
others. Test them out to see which has the best ratio of payoffs to wins for
you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT TIPS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fighting monsters for the purpose of gaining experience levels is meaningless
in DQVII, as what job you are in will have have as much an impact on your stats
as your level. In fact, gaining too many levels is counterproductive to job
advancement, as you may find yourself too powerful for the monsters around you
to advance. If you are having trouble defeating a boss, odds are leveling will
do you little good. Try to change your strategy instead.
* The best experience in the game comes from Metal-type monsters. The best way
to kill them is with Demon Slash--you can bypass their defense entirely with it
if you connect. (Note--It's a good idea not to start killing for experience
until very late in the game!)
* Fighting monsters for cash is also a futile venture. Monsters don't carry very
much money, and killing them for cash has the same drawbacks in terms of job
development that killing monsters for experience does. You shouldn't expect to
be able to outfit your characters with all the best stuff available when you
first get to a new town; you will never be able to afford it. Instead, buy one
or two items for the characters in your party that most need it.
* When buying equipment, often it's more important to look at the special
attributes items have rather than just raw attack or defense power. A weak
weapon that attacks a group or all enemies is often more effective than a
single-target strong one. The resistances special types of armor boost are
especially important toward the end of the game, as many of the nastiest attacks
monsters will dish out will not be directly physical in nature.
* Armor is more important than weapons in DQVII, especially toward the end of
the game, when most of your attacks will come from Abilities and Spells rather
than direct weapon attacks anyway. When given the choice of buying a powerful
weapon or a strong set of armor, buying the armor is usually the better choice.
* If you want to gain job levels quickly, fight the weakest monsters you can
that will "count" toward your next job level. They're easier to defeat, will
only give you small amounts of experience, and count just as much as a tough
fight. The best place in the game to gain job levels is "Slime Forest" near the
town of Crage on Disk 2, where you can inexplicably gain job levels from really
low-level slimes.
* If you REALLY want to gain job levels without gaining experience at all, use
the Thief technique "Knockback" or the Magic Warrior's "Bashirura." You'll
"kill" the monsters, but won't get any experience for it. (Nifuram has the same
effect on Undead)
* Make one of your characters a Thief early on. The Thief has more useful
general-purpose skills than any other class, and will make your journey much
less stressful.
* The Shepherd class is another one to think about taking on early. You can
Master it quickly, plus is the only "human" class that can learn Kiari, the
poison-curing spell. Without a Shepherd, you'll need to carry a lot of Antidote
Herbs. Shepherds also learn the Whistle technique, which is indispensible if you
want to build job levels.
* The quickest route to the Hero job is to master Battlemaster, Paladin, and God
Hand, as you only need to know three Basic jobs to learn Battlemaster and
Paladin. If you choose to go this route, I suggest you have your character
become a Paladin first; Warrior and Battlemaster skills are not as effective as
Priest and Paladin skills. Plus it's nice to get Priest out of the way early--it
takes a long time to build, and you don't want to have its stat hits when
enemies start getting tough. Not to mention that the healing and resurrection
spells are nice to have early on too.
* Another good path to the Hero job is the Sage-Superstar-Tenchiraimeishi path.
It will take much longer than the God Hand route--the spellcaster classes take a
long time to build, and it requires Mastery of an additional two jobs. However,
while the time to build is long and requires you to be relatively weak in terms
of stats for a long time, characters that become Heroes this way will be true
masters of whoopass with the skills they have acquired.
* When you enter a Monster Job, make sure you've mastered it before you change
jobs again. If you change out of a Monster Job before mastery, you'll need
another Spirit before you can change back. You can freely return to any Monster
jobs you've achieved Mastery in.
* Don't always overlook changing classes to get Hybrid techniques in favor of
picking classes to build to Advanced jobs. Hybrid techniques are some of the
most useful techniques in the game, and many are more useful than the majority
of Advanced Job techniques.
* It's generally a good idea to specialize your characters for specific roles in
battle early on--offense, support, healing, etc--and choose jobs accordingly. A
character with all your powerful attacks and all your healing spells won't be
very useful, since you can't do both at once.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBAT TIPS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The best offense is a good defense. This is especially true in DQVII. Very
few, if any, battles can be won by overwhelming force--most are won by reducing
the effectiveness of your opponent's attacks. Focusing your effort on offense
will only get you killed.
* When facing bosses and tougher normal monsters, it's a good idea to have each
of your characters playing various "roles." For example, you could have one
character focused on attack, another focused solely on healing, a third focused
solely on stat-boosting and support, etc. Many boss battles pretty much require
a dedicated healer character in order to succeed.
* Utilizing the computer's AI has its advantages and disadvantages. The
disadvantage being that you can't directly tell your party what to do, and there
are some techniques/items/spells the AI will never use. The advantage to using
AI is that AI decisions are made on the spur of the moment rather than at the
beginning of the round. Example: if Character A gets killed at the beginning of
a battle round, AI-controlled Character B will often resurrect him at the end of
the same round. Unless you knew for sure that Character A was going to get
targeted and killed before the round began, you wouldn't know to make Character
B cast a resurrection spell, whereas the AI would. Also, the AI "knows" the
strengths and weaknesses of the monsters you face and will act accordingly.
* Characters being controlled by AI will not use any items they're holding.
(Enix took that feature out after DQV, when people complained about the AI
wasting items) If you have an item you'd like a character to use, you need to
put that character on manual control.
* Items and skills that heal without consuming MP are a godsend. The Staff of
Blessings, the Sage Stone, and the Miracle Stone are all indispensible items.
Hustle Dance, Voice of the Angels, etc. will also help you conserve your MP
well.
* Stat-altering spells are much more important in DQVII than in many other RPGs;
in fact, there are some enemies that are virtually impossible to beat without
them. Lowering an enemy's defense with Rukani, then raising your offense with
Bikilt can render formerly unscratchable enemies vulnerable, for example.
* Resistance is not futile! Especially towards the end of the game, monsters
will be dishing out powerful spells and breath weapons that damage the entire
party. Without resistance, they can often deal damage faster than you can heal
it. Wearing the right armor and using the right spells/abilities can make
attacks that would normally kill you in one hit withstandable.
* The Mahokanta spell is a double-edged sword. With it, no enemy spells will be
able to touch you, but none of your allies will be able to cast healing or
support spells on you either. The only workaround to this is to cast said spells
on yourself, or to use Abilities and Items to provide the same effects.
* Don't be too hasty to overlook the "other" category of techniques and spells.
While they don't directly damage your opponents or heal your characters, they
provide effects that will often have a huge impact on the tide of battle. Some
of the most useful techniques in the game can be found in this category. If
you're having an especially difficult time on a specific boss or enemy, try out
a new spell/ability in the "other" category--usually there will be at least one
that will make a big difference.
* The skill "Nio's Stand" is very effective, providing the character using it
has high enough HP. If you have someone healing him/her to full health every
round, and the enemies' attacks aren't enough to kill that character in a single
round, you will essentially have an invincible party.
* Possibly the singly most effective single-target attack in the game is the
Martial Artist ability, Seiken-zuki--by default, it deals twice as much damage
as a normal attack would. Combine it with Bikilt and Power/War Cry charge, and
you can throw an attack that does 8x normal damage.
* While at first glance Power charge and War Cry charge seem like a waste,
taking two rounds to do a double damage attack--a single charged attack is
actually more powerful than two individual attacks. The damage done by each
individual attack will be lessened by your target's Defense rating, whereas a
Charged attack only has a single check against the target's defense. So in
essence, it's like getting one normal "checked" attack, plus another attack that
ignores defense entirely. Also, Charges can be applied to other Abilities as
well. (but not all, so be forewarned)
* You can't control Summons, but they're invaluable in combat not only because
they often use powerful techniques, but they serve as an additional target.
Every attack a summoned monster takes is one that could have hit one of your
party members.
* Astron and Noah's Ark may seem like useless spells; while they make your party
invulnerable, you won't be able to do anything either. However, there are two
important uses for these spells; first, your enemies will continue to attack
normally, so you can see what kind of attacks they'll use. Second, when up
against powerful spellcasters, you can continue to cast Astron until your enemy
is all out of MP, then go in for the kill.
* When up against enemies that cast Mahotarn, have your spellcasters cast
Nifuram on them. It will bounce off them and take down their magic shield,
leaving them open to your magic attacks, or making them waste turns bringing
their shield back up. Note: Don't try this if one of your characters is in
the Royal Reaper job!
* The technique "Double-Edged Slash" does lots of damage to your enemy, but you
take 1/4 of the damage you do as well. However, if you are equipping the Miracle
Sword, which heals you 1/4 of the damage you do, you essentially get to use the
technique for "free."
* The "Sands of Time" is perhaps the most unbalancing item in the game--use it
and the battle will revert to the beginning. So if the battle is going
unfavorably, as long as the character holding the Sands is alive, you can use it
as a "try again" item.

Once this FAQ is "complete" this section will probably disappear, but here is a
list of updates I am planning for upcoming versions of this FAQ:
# Monster information

10. THANKS AND CREDITS
################################################################################
Thanks to the following, without whom this FAQ would not have been possible:
* Enix, for continuing to produce great DQ games. Also for bringing out the
Official DQ7 guidebooks to fill in those extra tidbits of info I couldn't fill
in myself.
* Ken Ma, for getting me into DQ :)
* Hiryu, for putting up the best darn DQ page in existence. Filled some holes in
the Monster Jobs section, as well as providing variables on some equipment and
prerequisites for the Town forms. Posts on the message boards provided a good
deal of raw data in general. Check out his "Dragon Quest World" site at
http://www3.justnet.ne.jp/~sugino/DQ.htm. No, really! Go there!
* Hiro, for helping me fill some holes in the Abilities and Spells section.
If you contributed information to this FAQ and feel that I've left you out,
please let me know.

11. DISCLAIMERS
################################################################################
It was at the top of the FAQ, but here it is again for good measure:
This document is Copyright 2000 by Ian Kelley. This FAQ is for private and
personal use only. It was created and is owned by me, Ian Kelley. If you wish to
use this FAQ on your non-commercial website, please contact me for permission.
Distribution of this FAQ must be done electronically and in an unaltered form.
This document may not be used in any way, shape, or form for any sort of
commercial or for-profit purposes. This includes but is not limited to
publishing in a magazine, in part or in whole, magazine/book/guide writers using
it as "source material," etc. You may not make any sorts of updates to this FAQ
(such as changing names to fit a domestic release) and distribute it without the
author's explicit permission.
I am very, very serious about this. FAQ-stealing is a very big problem. Since
seeing my Star Ocean: The Second Story walkthrough stolen by Expert Gamer
Magazine in their July '99 issue, I am pretty much going on the warpath when it
comes to plagiarism--especially now that I have a job and enough money to hire a
lawyer. ;) FAQ writing is a labor of love--it's time-consuming and takes a lot
of work and dedication to complete. When I, (and I think I speak for most other
FAQ writers as well) see somebody else profiting off my work when I intended it
to be free, it makes me very angry. Since a domestic release of Dragon Quest VII
has yet to be announced, this may be less of an issue, but rest assured if it
ever does, I will be keeping a sharp eye out for any unauthorized copying
(Expert Gamer, I will be watching you like a hawk) and will take appropriate
action should I find any. Have some ethics, people.
(Oh, a hint to you Expert Gamer guys: if you're going to use an FAQ based on the
Japanese version of a game to write a walkthrough of a domestic game without
playing it first, it helps to make sure of ALL the domestic names are the same--
when you use romanizations I fudged or substitute words I left in Japanese with
question marks, it makes it blatantly obvious)
