Vault: Difference between revisions

The '''Vault''' is a special location which appears in ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series. It is a place where the player can store [[gold]] and items to be retrieved at a later time. It was removed in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'' (and remakes of some of the older games) in favor of using a [[bank]] and [[The Bag]].

The vault is located in the town of [[Aliahan]] in the same building as [[Ruida's Tavern]]. It charges a calculated amount of gold to retrieve other items which are stored there. This cost is based on item value.  Rare items cost only one gold coin.

One particularly common item to be stored in the NES version is the [[Golden claw]], as it causes repeated enemy encounters when in the possession of the player. However, it is quite expensive to retrieve after being stored.

The vault is available only in [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 5|chapter 5]]. [[Torneko|Torneko's]] wife runs the vault in the town of [[Endor]].  While storing and retrieving items still costs gold, each item is stored for 10 gold coins only.

The vault is available only after the main character becomes an adult. Vaults can be found in the towns of [[Fortuna|Oracleberry]] and [[Lodestar Harbour|Port Selmi]].
