Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake - Merchant Job Guide: Best Personality and Build

Merchant Job Guide for Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (DQ3 Remake)

Merchant Job Overview

Inferior to Warriors and Martial Artists

The merchant class levels up quickly, making it a viable choice early in the game. However, it lacks the power and speed of warriors and martial artists, so it’s often seen as an inferior class.

Earns extra Gold after battles

Thanks to the merchant’s special ability, you gain additional gold after each battle. This can help equip the party with better weapons and armor, enhancing overall capability.

Useful in field

Merchants only learn two spells, “Dig” and “Service Call,” both of which are used in the field rather than in combat. These spells have limited utility.

Best Personality for Merchant Job

Amazon (Female Only)

A power-focused personality similar to “Paragon,” with only a minor reduction in agility, making it a decent match for merchants. Since “Amazon” is female-only, the male equivalent would be “Meathead,” though slightly less effective.

Stat Modifiers

This personality provides a large boost to strength, with only a slight penalty to agility. Unfortunately, there’s no boost to vitality.

Tough Cookie

This personality increases both strength and vitality, aligning well with the merchant’s strengths. With extreme vitality growth, changing personality later balances the character out. This allows merchants to be used like warriors in the early game.

Stat Modifiers

Vitality grows significantly, and strength also increases. The merchant can be played similarly to a warrior, making it a solid choice for the early stages of the game.
