Discover how to become a Sage in Dragon Quest III, the ultimate spellcasting class. Learn about its unique class change methods, powerful spells, and superior equipment.

The Sage is one of the best classes in Dragon Quest III, excelling as a spellcaster. Unlike other classes, Sages cannot be created directly at Patty's Party Planning. Instead, characters must be class changed into a Sage through specific methods:

Methods to become a Sage:

  1. Create a Gadabout and class change them at Level 20.
  2. Locate the Words of Wisdom in either the Tower of Transcendence or Rimuldar. Equip this item on a Level 20+ character and class change at Alltrades Abbey.
  3. One of Xenlon's Post Game rewards allows any character to class change into a Sage.

Sages generally have excellent stat growth and can equip a wider variety of equipment than other spellcasting classes. They learn every spell available to Priests and Mages, effectively making them an upgraded version of those two classes.
