A '''Seed of Skill''' is a one-time use [[Seeds of skill|item]] that increases the {{Skill}} point total of whoever eats it by 5. It only appears in later ''Dragon Quest'' installments that use a point-allocation {{Skill}} system.<br />
<br />
==Appearances==<br />
==={{DQ8}}===<br />
The seeds can be found in an overworld chest near [[Pickham]], in pots/cabinets in [[Neos]] and [[Empycchu]], and may be purchased '''once''' ('''six times''' in the {{3DS}} version) from a midnight shop in [[Arcadia]].<br />
<br />
A small selection of normal monsters drop them as rare items; [[Solaris]], [[Great troll]]s, and [[Crocodog]]s specifically, with a 1/64 chance for each. Furthermore, all forms of [[Lord of the Dragovians|the Lord of Dragovians]] have a 1/8 chance (a guaranteed chance in the {{3DS}} version) to drop the seed. In addition, super Seeds of skill also exist only in the {{3DS}} and [[Cell phone|Mobile]] versions. The latter version grants 10 of them as a prize for beating the [[Lord of the Dragovians]].<br />
<br />
These grant 10 skill points upon consumption; one is obtained from completing the Great Sabrecat card of [[Cameron's Codex]], another is obtained after beating the Ultimate Dragon form of the [[Lord of the Dragovians]].<br />
<br />
Regardless of which {{MFamilies}} the player goes after, it is '''strongly'' recommended to make use of [[Yangus]]' [[Stainless Steal Sickle]]; the acquisition chance will be cut in half, but being able to attempt stealing multiple times in one battle is well worth the trade-off.<br />
<br />
==={{DQ9}}===<br />
Unlike in {{VIII}}, characters can generally gain more {{Skill}} points through [[revocation]] so these seeds aren't as useful.<br />
<br />
==={{DQ11}}===<br />
Unlike previous games, each Seed of skill bears only one {{Skill}} point to the consumer.<br />
