 Beginning in {{Dragon Quest IX}} and carrying forwards to ''X'' and {{Dragon Quest Heroes}}, the frequency of critical hits became dependent on a character's deftness.
-For ''IX'', the algorithm is ''Deftness/100 + 3% (with weapon skill trait boost)''. Wearing the Critical Acclaim will add another 4%, and thus the maximum rate is 16.99% at 999 deftness. The natural, unbolstered rates for each vocation are:

-*[[Ranger]]: 500 -> 5%
-*[[Thief]]: 402 -> 4%
+As an example, if you have a character with '''211''' deftness and 22 skill points invested in their Sword Skill (and they don't have the Critical Claim revocation medal), when they attack with a sword they'll have a ''('''211'''/100) + 3% = '''5.11%''''' chance to crit.

-Beginning with ''IX'' spells can also land critical hits, where the spell "goes haywire". This not only increases damage output of attack magic, but also boosts healing spells. If a status-changing spell goes haywire, its chance of working increases to 100% (barring the target being immune).
