*In the nintendo DS and cell phone versions of ''IV'', Alena's critical hit rate was tweaked to  ''(Level x 0.75)/256'', meaning she needs to reach level 89 to get a 25% rate.
 
In the Nintendo DS and cell phone versions of ''IV'', Alena's critical hit rate was tweaked to  ''(Level x 0.75)/256''. In the Nintendo DS version, the effect stops at level 64 still, making her critical rate cap at 18.75%; however, the phone version raises the cap to level 89, granting her a rate of 26.07% - provided, of course, the player is willing to raise her that high.

Characters have the standard {{fraction|1|64} rate unless they become martial artists at [[Alltrades abbey]]. After taking up the art of the fist, the character's rank in the vocation will improve their chance to land a critical until they hit the cap of {{fraction|1|8}} at rank 8. This gives a party of martial artists a 50% chance to score a critical when using normal attacks and single-target skills that utilizes their strength stat.

*[[Paladin]]s have a similar vocation trait, in that they have a chance to instantly slay a target based on rank. Though this will not work on boss monsters, it will still slay metal slimes at a {{fraction|1|8}} rate when mastered.

In ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'', spells can also become 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). Other class skills have a critical chance as well with similar effects.

Beginning with ''IX'' spells can also become 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).
