Editing Wagon

[[File:HoffmanWagon.png|thumb|right|190px|''Dragon Quest IV'''s wagon]]
The '''wagon''' is a mechanic first introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series that facilitates larger parties.

==Function==
Since only four characters can be in the active "battle" party at one time, once the party grows to more than that the rest can wait in the wagon until switched in. Up to four characters can ride in the wagon. Where the wagon is available, the player can rearrange the party any time. The wagon is not typically available in caves, dungeons, or castles, preventing the player from having anything to fall back on if his characters run low and forcing him to make due with what he currently has at his disposal; however, some items such as the [[Baron's Bugle]] can summon it. Additional characters can be stored in [[Ruida's Tavern]].

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
The wagon is obtained from [[Hank Hoffman Jr.]] at the [[Last Chance Saloon]] after convincing him to help out, and he joins the party as a guest for a time. When he leaves the party in [[Mintos]] to study under, he leaves his horse and wagon in [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|the Hero]]'s care.

===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===

The wagon is purchased from the Curiosity Shop in [[Fortuna]]. Said shop is only open at night, and the wagon is offered at the low cost of 300 [[gold]] coins. This is required in order to start taming monster companions.

Some elephant monsters (like [[Eyevory tusk-tusk]]) can banish a party member to the wagon, requiring the player to switch them back in at the start of the next round. Similarly, one of the effects of confusion on party members is that they may leave for the "peace and quiet" of the wagon.

===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
In ''Dragon Quest VI'', the wagon is obtained in [[Somnia]] after the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|The Hero]] and [[Carver]] capture the horse, [[Peggy Sue]].

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
The wagon works a little differently in this installment. Since the party composition is fixed, the wagon is instead used to house the [[Krak Pot|alchemy pot]].

-The wagon is a core game mechanic in this game. [[Kiefer]] adds several wagons to his caravan throughout the course of his journey, each of which can hold one guard monster and up to four [[human]] allies. Each of these characters has a weight, and each wagon can carry a certain amount of weight. Ten is the starting capacity of each wagon, but they can be upgraded to carry more. In battle, the guard {{MFamilies}} and one [[human]] ally act each round.
