Class: Difference between revisions

[[Dragon Quest IX]] has a class system which is similar to the one in Dragon Quest III, where the player may create additional party members and add them to the party.  This can be done at the [[Quester's Rest]] located in [[Stornway]].  Specifically, Ruida, or [[List of minor characters in Dragon Quest IX#Patty|Patty]] as she is known in [[Plus Alpha]]'s localization, continues to be the party planner.  Party members created do not play any significant part in the plot.

Classes can be changed at the [[Temple of Dharma]], or [[Alltrades Abbey]] as it is known in [[Plus Alpha]]'s localization, after the player has rescued [[List of minor characters in Dragon Quest IX#Jack of Alltrades|Abbot Jack]].  There is not minimum level limit for changing classes.  Classes can be changed as often as desired.  One notable difference from past games is that spells are no longer carried over between class changes.  A character must be a specific class to use that classes spells.  Skills do carry over, and there are also methods for utilizing each weapon type with all classes.

Additional classes must be unlocked by doing quests before the player can switch to them.  Notably, the [[Sage]] class is accessible only later in the game, but includes a specific ability, Jack's Knack, which allows the party members to change class at any time and place.

There are 12 total classes available in Dragon Quest IX.
