In the NES version, a total of 32 medals could be found, which were used as a separate currency for the prizes offered by the medal king. A player could get more than one of the same prize offered by the medal king; however, in order to get the best prize the player could not buy any other prize, as it cost 32 medals.

In the DS version it isn't possible to obtain the Gringham Whip until [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 6|Chapter 6]] as the [[Pioneer Town]] can't be completed until that Chapter.  The [[Cell phone]] version of the game accelerates the completion of the town, thus allowing all prizes to be obtained before ending the main game/[[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 5|Chapter 5]]
