![]() Minidemon – (Wing of Bat, Rockbomb Shard ).We’re not necessarily advocating an investment into Knives from a skill perspective, but using something like this in the early game is quite beneficial. These cannot be purchased for quite a while, come with a +29 attack bonus and even have a 1 in 8 chance to paralyze your target. The real main event however, is grabbing yourself a Poison Moth Knife from the Hell Hornet enemy. The Wizard’s Staff is a great choice here, and whilst you’re going to be able to purchase one from a town nearby, they do cost 1300g, which is pretty expensive at this point. Taking on the Lump Mage, which you’ll tend to find deep into the fields prior to the Abbey, can be worthwhile. Outside of this there are a few further options. They might be relatively easy to get when you’ve progressed through the game by a significant amount, but managing to get your hands on a few at this point will unlock some powerful accessories at the earliest possible point. The first thing that you’ll note about our next location, which is approximately between Peregrin Quay and near Maella Abbey, is that we’re again referencing the Gold Bracer, this time dropping from the Dingaling enemy. Hell Hornet – (Poison Moth Knife, Moonwort Bulb ).Lump Mage – (Wizard’s Staff, Cypress Stick ).We’re not saying that you should plan this far in advance, far from it, but taking the time to defeat some of these purple foxes could have more benefits than simply gold and experience. By extension, it’s even a crucial element in making one of the best swords in the game, the Uber Miracle Sword. Alone this item will increase your defence by +4, however its real benefit is revealed when you use it as an Alchemy ingredient, where it can be combined with a Recovery Ring into a Life Bracer, which is one of the best defensive accessories in the game. The main event however is the Fencing Fox, because this swift purple lad can drop the Gold Bracer. The Skipper and Bodkin Archer, both of which can be found either in the Alexandria Region or the Tower, are relatively good options for item drops, with the highlight being the fire-aoe inducing Plain Cheese. For the most part this is true, however there are some enemies that you may want to take the time to defeat, even if it’s just a little more than usual. Given that you’ve only really just begun to progress through DQ8, you might expect very little in terms of enemy drops to be of use at this point. Bodkin Archer – (Plain Cheese, Bandana ).Skipper – (Bunny Tail, Medicinal Herb ). ![]() Fencing Fox – (Gold Bracer, Wayfarer’s Clothes ).Supporting this is our goal with the article today, in which we’ll recommend some places to grind and farm up some items in the early game, though we’ll preface this entirely by saying that the early game of DQ8 is actually around 10 – 15 hours of play, and no that’s not even slightly hyperbole.Įnemy images used courtesy of the Wiki over at DRAGON-QUEST.ORG DQ8 remains true to form in this regard, and whilst the drop rate for items is so bad that it’ll occasionally make your eyes bleed, you’ll certainly want to indulge as much as possible. Sure, there’s always a big bad that needs to be slain, and in more modern titles there will likely be a few twists and turns in the story, but the truly dedicated player tends to spend their time focusing on two things battling and crafting alchemy recipes. Acquiring copious amounts of loot has always been the secret, sub-game that exists within a Dragon Quest title.
