@Roopa - According to Nintendo Power, a new quest comes out every week, so as of know there are 3 quests available to download. Also, the online shop thing updates either every day or every week, I'm not sure which. The old quests are automatically downloaded to your game the next time you connect, so you can still get them.
All right, now that that's taken care of, I have a question of my own. I recently made it to Dourbridge, and at the weapon shop there, they're selling the Poison Needle there. How often does it OHKO? I'm deciding whether or not to get it for my mage as opposed to keeping him equipped with a staff for the MP absorption.
@Roopa After leaving Coffinwell and gaining access to the Starflight Express, you'll be able to go to Alltrades Abbey, where you can change the vocation of anyone in your party.
@Birdman13 I'd put its OHKO percentage between 5% - 10%. Closer to ten though probably.
@Roopa - I'll do my best to avoid plot spoilers, but you can't immediately change your profession when you get there. It'll be another boss battle before that can occur, one that goes immediately from cutscene to battle, so be prepared for that.
@Nintendogamerftw - So, it's be better as a weapon to carry around for boss battles than conventional fights?
@Roopa I was about 15 hours in before reaching the Abbey (and you have to run through a dungeon first and "rescue" someone before you can change classes), but i spent a lot of time just running around and "grinding" a bit, so i'm sure you can reach it much sooner.
@Birdman I'd keep a staff equipped, but i imagine it'll boil down to your own personal play-style.
Pure water? I've never heard of such an item. Are you playing the European version of the game, it may be different in that version. What do you need it for?

US version. It's a basic item I need for a sidequest. You give it to a guy in Angel Falls and he gives you Angel's Tears, which you give to the guy who wants it in Stornwell Castle.

Oh, I think it's fresh water you want. It's found near Slurry Quay by a waterfall to the north. You get there after taking a boat from Porth Llaffan.
SO this game looks pretty cool. But I'm not too big on RPG's. I've only played Earthbound, Mother 3, TWEWY, and the first two Mario&Luigi games. I loved all those, but does anyone know if I'd enjoy this one as well?
I am not a fan of RPG's also (unless its pokemon or M&L), and I am in love with this game. Too bad my internet doesn't work with my DS anymore, becausse I wanna try that DQVC thing... :/
@Starcross64 - If you've only played a few RPG's, I've played less than you. DQIX's battle system is turn-based, meaning you select what you want each of your characters to do (or put them on a customizable auto-pilot system), and a "round" is played out where each of your characters do what you've told them to do and the enemy(s) do the same to you. It's like a more complicated pokémon battle, so to speak. I found no problems adjusting from Pokémon's battle system to DQIX.
@sonic_brawler95 - Try to see if you can reconfigure your internet settings to access DQVC. Anyway, DQVC isn't that awesome. I've accessed it twice and all I've been able to buy (besides a mini-medal) were some alchemy ingredients. It's not that important to the main quest.
This game is great, just like all previous DQ games. In particular, this version is like a mini version of WoW or EQ. Let me explain: I was able to procure a 'miracle sword' for my warrior. Later I found an alchemy recipe for 'uber miracle sword'. Sweet, gotta get me that! OK looks easy enough, combine a miracle sword with 2 life bracers, mix vigorously and... well hold on. I couldn't just find 2 life bracers, let alone 1. Found out that I needed to combine a gold bracer with 2 life rings to make a life bracer. Gold bracer was easy to get but... backtracking again, I had to create the life rings. Those take a prayer ring and 3 resurrocks! Again, prayer ring was easy but now I had to come up with a total of 12 resurrocks to make enough life rings to turn into life bracers! OK, I can do this - found out that resurrocks were harvestable somewhat near Gleeba but they also dropped off some handsome crabs with a 1/32 success rate. Yes folks, I had a major need to do some MMO-type farming. I found that I could only harvest 2-3 resurrocks over a multiple-hour span of time near Gleeba, so I felt it might be quicker to farm some handsome crabs. I farmed for quite a few hours, got the resurrocks and eventually made that 'uber miracle sword' I was pining for. My warrior loves it and I love this game.
