Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride[edit]
The sage's stone is received as a gift from Madalena upon first entering Nadiria through the Teleportal Shrine. It restores the same amount of health as in IV, but now heals characters and monsters in the wagon as well as those in battle.
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]
The Sage's Stone is a prize for winning level 7 of the Best Dressed contest at Château de Sass and again restores 50~60 HP. In the original Super Famicom version stone will not heal characters in the wagon, making it inferior to Hustle Dance.
Darkcrawlers can also use it in battle.

Reward for collecting 85 Mini Medals (3DS Remake), and recovers 50~60 HP.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]
The stone has received a substantial boost in power, restoring 100~120 HP. It is created by combining a lump of gold, a chunk of orichalcum, and an Yggdrasil dew phial. Additionally, one may be found in the Black Citadel near the end of the game.
- In the 3DS version, the stone has been nerfed to 60~80 HP.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]

The reason for this is because the amount of HP healed is 75~95, which is far too little to keep pace with the damage outputs of tougher bosses. A Sage's Stone would be extremely helpful in the early stages of the game, but Silver Orbs can only be obtained by fighting extremely powerful Legacy Bosses or purchasing them in the DQVC during certain times, and by the later portions of the game, the party will have access to the much more powerful Multiheal, which will heal twice as much as the Sage's Stone without factoring in Magical Mending.
