The '''Oaken club''' is a recurring weapon in the {{DQSeries}}. Highly crude, it is not very powerful and is often one of the first weapons found in a game.

The oaken club is a primitive weapon that appears to have been carved roughly out of a tree trunk and has cloth wrapped around the handle for ease of use. In the instruction manuals for the Famicom versions of the original ''Dragon Quest'' and ''Dragon Quest II'', the oaken club was depicted as having numerous nails sticking out of it. They appear to be the favored weapons of many monsters, such as [[Troll]]s and [[Cyclops|Cyclopes]].

The oaken club has an attack bonus of +7. However, if equipped by a martial artist, it actually decreases their attack by 3. It can be equipped by [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|The Hero]], [[Warrior]]s, [[Martial Artist]]s, [[Priest]]s, [[Merchant]]s, [[Gadabout]]s, and [[Sage]]s. The King of [[Aliahan]] gives the Hero two oaken clubs at the start of their journey, but they can also be purchased at Aliahan and [[Persistence]] for 30 gold and sold for 22 gold. They can also be dropped by [[Troll]]s.

The oaken club has an attack bonus of +9 and a style bonus of +6. [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|The Hero]], [[Carver]], [[Amos]], [[Terry]], [[Lizzie]], and [[Goowain]] all can equip it.  They can be bought for 110 gold in [[Haggleton]] and [[Somnia (Upper World)|Somnia]] and sold for 82 gold. [[Dead resident|Dead residents]], [[Undentured servant|Undentured servants]], and [[Troll|Trolls]] can drop it.

The oaken club has an attack bonus of +7. [[Yangus]] begins the game with it equipped. It can also be equipped by [[Morrie]]. They can be bought for 110 gold in [[Farebury]] and [[Alexandria]] and sold for 55 gold. One can be found in [[Peregrin Quay]]. Oaken clubs can be dropped by [[hammerhood]], [[mischievous mole]], and [[Khalamari kid]].  

The oaken club has an attack bonus of +7. It can be upgraded into an [[Ace of clubs]], and is the first hammer available to the player, appearing well before the option to use hammer-wielding classes ([[Gladiator]] and [[Paladin]]) are available for use. They are commonly dropped by [[Hammerhood]]s and [[Troll]]s. They cannot be bought, but can be sold for 70 coins each. As with any hammer, any class can equip them with the Omnivocational Hammermaster skill.
