Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]
What we know as the resilience seed debuted here. However, in the Japanese version of this game (both the original and the remake), this item was known as スタミナのたね (stamina seed), and raised one's たいりょく tairyoku (can be translated as stamina or endurance). This is important to note as technically, in Japanese, this is a separate item from the まもりのたね mamori no tane (Protection Seed) which was first introduced in the SFC version of Dragon Quest V.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake[edit]
The seed of resilience is a new item in the Japanese version まもりのたね, and for the English version the スタミナのたね was translated as the seed of stamina.

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]
The item was cut from the original NES version of this game, but it returned (in the form of まもりのたね from Dragon Quest V in Japanese versions) in the remakes.
Dropped by imp, whizzard, demon thunderer, red dragon, and venus guytrap.
Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride[edit]
| Game | Description |
 | Any party member can eat this to increase resilience.[1] |
The まもりのたね mamori no tane (protection Seed) made its first appearance in the original version of this game. Unlike the "stamina seed" from Dragon Quest III, this item raised the status of みのまもり mi no mamori (protection) rather than たいりょく tairyoku (stamina/endurance) (which was removed), which was a new stat first added to this game. This distinction is lost in localization.
In all future games that came after this (but including remakes of I, II and IV) - excluding remakes of III - this item (the まもりのたね "Protection Seed") is what appears. The stat みのまもり (protection) is also, with a few exceptions, what appears in most subsequent games, rather than たいりょく (stamina).

Seed of Resilience appears as a skill that is known naturally by Kiefer at level 1 and costs 16 MP to use. It has a range of 1-2 squares away from him, can be used on himself, and greatly raises a single ally's DEF for three turns. Upgrading the skill reduces the amount of MP it costs to use.
