Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit | edit source]

In the Dragon Quest III remakes, genius is a personality that improves agility and wisdom growth, but reduces resilience and luck growth.

The hero cannot become a genius at the start of the game.

Other party members have a chance to be a genius when talent scouted at Patty's Party Planning Place, except warriors or martial artists, depending on their stat bonuses.

The Genius personality has no influence on strength, decreases Resilience by 10%, increases Agility by 20%, decreases Stamina by 20%, increases Wisdom by 40%, and decreases Luck by 20%. Any character can become a genius by reading a copy of The Eureka Moment book. Even by replicating the same method of distributing seeds, it is still possible to end up with a different personality.
