Seeds of skill are edibles that that increases the skill point total of whoever eats them. They only appears in later Dragon Quest installments that use a point-allocation skill system.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]
The seeds give a character 5 skill points, and can be found in an overworld chest near Pickham, in pots/cabinets in Neos and Empycchu, and may be purchased once from a midnight shop in Arcadia.
- The nocturnal merchant sell six seeds in the 3DS version
A small selection of normal monsters drop them as rare items; Solaris, Great trolls, and Crocodogs specifically, with a 1/64 chance for each. Furthermore, all forms of the Lord of Dragovians have a 1/8 chance (a guaranteed chance in the 3DS version) to drop the seed.
- The Lord of Dragovians' various forms will always drop a seed of skill when first defeated in the 3DS version
Regardless of which monster the player goes after, it is strongly recommended to make use of Yangus' Stainless Steal Sickle; the acquisition chance will be cut in half, but being able to attempt stealing multiple times in one battle is well worth the trade-off.

Seeds of skill grant 2 points: unlike in Dragon Quest VIII, characters can generally gain more skill points through revocation so these seeds aren't as useful.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]
Seeds of skill grant 1 point to a character, and are found in Laguna di Gondolia, Gallopolis, L'Académie de Notre Maitre des Médailles, Nautica, and Cobblestone. The seeds are also dropped by canniboxes, mimics, pandora's boxes with a 100% drop rate in scripted battles, and by great keepers at a 1/256 rate.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince[edit]
Seeds of skill increase a monster's talent points by 3, though there is a hard limit of 999 points that cannot be changed. Seeds of skill are given out as possible rewards for completing Fizzy's quickfire online battles in Rosehill Tower, and can be left behind by monsters dismissed from the Monster Paddock.
