'''Seeds of skill''' are edibles that that increases the {{Skill}} point total of whoever eats them. They only appears in later ''Dragon Quest'' installments that use a point-allocation {{Skill}} system.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ8}}===
The seeds give a character 5 skill points, and can be found in an overworld chest near [[Pickham]], in pots/cabinets in [[Neos]] and [[Empycchu]], and may be purchased '''once''' from a midnight shop in [[Arcadia]].
*The nocturnal merchant sell six seeds in the {{3DS}} version

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.
*The Lord of Dragovians' various forms will always drop a seed of skill when first defeated in the {{3DS}} version

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. 

==={{DQ9}}===
Seeds of skill grant 2 points and are found in [[The Pothold]], [[Gittingham Palace]], and the [[Realm of the Mighty]]. The seeds are also dropped by [[platinum king jewel]]s at a 1/256 rate
Unlike in ''Dragon Quest VIII'', characters can generally gain more {{Skill}} points through [[revocation]] so these seeds aren't as useful.

==={{DQ11}}===
Seeds of skill grant 1 point to a character, and are found in [[Laguna di Gondolia]], [[Gallopolis]], [[L'Académie de Notre Maitre des Médailles]], [[Nautica]], and [[Cobblestone]]. The seeds are also dropped by [[cannibox]]es, [[mimic]]s, [[pandora's box]]es with a 100% drop rate in scripted battles, and by [[great keeper]]s at a 1/256 rate.

Seeds of skill increase a monster's talent points by 3, though there is a hard limit of 999 points that cannot be changed. Seeds of skill are given out as possible rewards for completing [[Fizzy]]'s quickfire online battles in [[Rosehill Tower]], and can be left behind by monsters dismissed from the [[Monster Paddock]].
