Sage
The Sage is a character in the Dragon Quest series. Proficient with both weapons and magic, they are often the most powerful combatants in their respective games.
Requirements
Dragon Quest III
In order for a party member to become a Sage, that member must be level 20 and have the Book of Satori and take it to the Temple of Dharma. There, they may become a Sage. The Goof-off is the only class that doesn't need the Book of Satori to become a Sage. All they need is to become level 20.
Dragon Quest VI
In order to become a Sage, the party member must first master the Mage and the Priest classes.
Dragon Quest VII
In order to become a sage in Dragon Quest VII, the party member must first master both the Cleric and Mage classes. As a Sage, that particular party member's spells will cost less MP. The higher tier the Sage is, lesser MP is expended for spells.
