Mini medal: Difference between revisions

A '''Mini medal''' is an item hidden throughout many {{Main Series}} games. They are often found in chests of drawers, treasure chests, and other searchable locations. Collected mini medals can be exchanged for various prizes in the game in which they are found.

===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===

Mini medals only appear in the remakes of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''. They are collected by a man living in the well in [[Aliahan]].

===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===

In ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', mini medals are collected by a king who lives in [[Medal King's Palace#Dragon Quest IV|Minikin's Dominion]].

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.

In the [[Nintendo DS]] remake, the number of medals and prizes earned was changed to follow the system used in more recent ''Dragon Quest'' games:

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]]

===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===

Mini medals can be brought to King Dominicus in [[Medal King's Palace#Dragon Quest V|the southernmost island of the world]]. No version of ''V'' has adopted the cumulative system seen in later games and every prize must be paid for individually.

[[Captain Max Meddlin]] collects mini medals in ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''. He can be found in the north east corner of [[Dourbridge]]. Prizes are awarded after giving the captain a certain number of mini medals.  

There are two people in the game that collect mini medals. A medal collector located inside Puerto Valor's inn, and Maxime Médaillé at [[L'Académie de Notre Maitre des Médailles]].

The collector at Puerto Valor will only accept 20 mini medals; Maxime Médaillé will give you the L’Album de Médailles which is needed in order to progress through the rewards.

===''[[Dragon Quest Swords]]''===

You can exchange your mini medals to [[Minimoggie]] . He is located in a cave in the north east corner of [[Castle Avalonia]].

Minimedals are earned by solving the puzzles in [[Furrowfield]], [[Khrumbul-Dun]] and [[Moonbrooke]] -there are 10 puzzles on each island-, as well by completing tablet targets in the [[Isle of Awakening]]. The medals can later be exchanged with the [[Hairy Hermit]] for rewards such as music sheets, accessories or armor.

===''[[Dragon Quest of the Stars]]''===

Only found in the Japanese version of the game, they can be obtained by doing the daily quest, randomly by completing quests, and as event rewards. There are two reward lists, one that is permanent and another that changes every few months. In both cases, players can obtain rare materials and cosmetic equipment, such as the outfit of the hero of ''Dragon Quest Swords''. One of the most important mini medal reward is the scroll that unlocks the Brave Knight vocation, a very powerful offensive vocation.

===''[[Dragon Quest Tact]]''===

Minimedals can be earned by meeting certain requeriments when finishing quests or from breaking pots and opening chests in quests. Minimedals can be given to [[King Maximog]] in exchange for new units, rare materials, and equipment.
