The '''Puff-Puff''' is a sacred technique bestowed upon mortal-kind by the [[Rubiss|Goddess on High]]. Originating in [[Akira Toriyama]]'s ''Dragon Ball'' manga, the act refers to...well, you're bright enough to figure it out.

Outside of humorous scenes, the term also refers to a reoccurring skill used by the silly and the sexy. If used by a female character, it may distract an opponent for a few turns. If used by a male character it will cause strike-based damage based on his level, with the calculation being ''{LvL+1~8}'' for a cap of 51~58.

==Appearances in Battle==
===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
The Puff-Puff appears as one of the random actions a [[Gadabout]] can perform in the remakes. For female clowns it functions similarly to the rest of the series, but for men it will deal 25% of a normal attack's damage.

===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
Puff-Puff is learned by advancing to rank 4 of the Gadabout vocation. For female characters, it incapacitates an enemy for 1~3 turns if successful, while as for male characters it will deal damage, being the user's level divided by 8 rounded up.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
Learned the same way as in ''VI''

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
[[Jessica]] can put her feminine assets to use after investing 38 points into her Sex Appeal skill tree. It will attempt to stun a monster for 1~3 turns as usual.

Note: some enemies will attempt to immobilize the protagonists with this technique, but it will always fail when used on Jessica. As the game puts it, she ''wins the battle of the bulge''.
*In the 3DS remake, the same applies to [[Red]].

==Appearances Outside of Battle==
===''[[Dragon Quest]]''===
A woman will offer the lone Hero a puff-puff for 50G in [[Rimuldar]] in the original version of the first game, with the event taking place in the [[Kol]] bathhouse in the remakes.

===''[[Dragon Quest II]]''===
A bunny girl in [[Rippleport]] will offer her services for 100G. This rabbit is feistier than most, accusing the princes of being homosexuals if they turn down her services in the original Japanese script.

===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
{{Stub}}

===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
A dancing girl in the bar of [[Laissez Fayre]] will perform a puff-puff for free, but only upon male characters.

In Chapter 1, [[Angus and Aigneas|Angus' wife Aigneas]] gives her befuddled husband a puff-puff to restore his lost memory in the original Japanese script.

====Censorship====
To this disappointment of many fans, the western releases of ''Dragon Quest IV'' on the [[Nintendo DS]] did not include the puff-puff in the Laissez Fayre bar, nor the one Aigneas gives to Angus. This was most likely to maintain a lower content rating.

===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
{{Stub}}

===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
In the localization done by 8-4, all instances of puff-puffs have been censored and replaced with ''Pattycake Princess''. This was likely done at Nintendo's behest.
[[Buddy]]'s older sister will offer the Hero a puff-puff on the night of the mountain spirit festival, but will tease him if he agrees.

In [[Turnscote]], there is a bunny girl in one of the two-story buildings on the right side of town who will give a puff-puff so wonderful it actually increases the puffee's [[Style]] by 5.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
{{Stub}}

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
The most infamous puff-puff of the series, players will have to explore the Arcadia region to find the hidden club. All characters can be puffees, though Jessica and Red will have the most distinct reactions in the cutscene.

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
Tuya, a little girl living in the [[Hunters' Yurts]] of the [[Iluugazar Plains]] will reward players with a puff-puff if they assist her by completing [[List of quests in Dragon Quest IX: 101-150|Quest 126]] for her.

The puffing is a ruse, however; players will hear the baas of sheep as the screen goes dark, and when light returns their heads will be between two smelly sheep rears. A fitting fate for any sickos expecting a real puff-puff from a little girl.

Orichalcum

2017-01-29T01:56:51Z

99.98.58.219: /* Dragon Quest III */

[[Image:Orichalcum.png|border|right|180px]]

'''Orichalcum''' (formerly localized as ''Oricon'' due to display constraints) is a key recurring item in the series. It is a mythical metal harder than any other known substance, is typically used to create powerful weapons and/or armor in the games in which it appears. This is done using processes such as [[alchemy]] and [[Sword tempering in Dragon Quest Swords|sword tempering]].
==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
Orichalcum is needed to reforge the [[Sword of kings]]. To accomplish this, retrieve the unrefined ingot from the stables in [[Damdara]] and sell it to the [[Jipang|Jipanese]] blacksmith in [[Kol]]. The legendary sword can then be purchased from the town's item shop for 22500G.

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
Orichalcum is an ingredient of the alchemization items such as the [[Sage's Stone]], [[Meteorite Bracer]], [[Metal king shield]], [[Metal king armour]], [[Liquid metal sword]], [[Megaton Hammer]] and [[Goddess Ring]].

The almighty azure alloy can be found in the Godbird's Eyrie (light world), the Black Citadel, automatically dropped by [[Ruin]], exchanged for 83 [[Mini medal]]s, and found a chest in the post-game Heavenly Dias. Additionally, monsters Metal King Slime ({{fraction|1|256}}) and Pandora's Box ({{fraction|1|128}}). Using [[Yangus]]' ''Stainless Steal Sickle'' with the [[Skull helm]] will help against the latter, but will lower the acquirement rate to {{fraction|1|256}}.

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
Orichalcum is again a crucial component in several [[List of alchemy recipes in Dragon Quest IX|alchemy recipes]]. It can be acquired in treasure chests of [[List of treasure map treasure chest ranks in Dragon Quest IX|rank 9 and 10]] in treasure map grottos, found inside a red chest in the cave on the lonely coast, near Apus Major's throne in a red chest, purchased for 15 [[mini medal]]s a piece from [[Cap'n Max Meddlin']] after completing the standard reward list, and it can be dropped by a [[Gem Slime]] ({{fraction|1|256}}) as well as [[Greygnarl|Greygnarl (Grotto)]] (5%).
It is used to create:
*Metal Slime equipment
*Liquid Metal Slime equipment
*Metal King Slime equipment
*Erdrick's Equipment
*[[Orichalcum claws]]
*[[Orichalcudgel]]
*[[Sage's Stone]]

Game description:'' A highly prized mineral of magnificent hardness. Alchemise it!''

===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime]]''===
Orichalcum is used as ammunition for the [[Schleiman tank|Schleiman Tank]], and may be used in alchemy to create other ammunition, such as the [[orichalcum slime]].

===''[[Dragon Quest Swords]]''===
{{stub}}

==Etymology==
Orichalcum comes from Greek mythology, specifically Plato's tales of the fabled Atlantis. The original word, ''Oreichalkos'', translates directly to "mountain copper", though the material is said to have been several times more durable. It's value was second only to gold, and it was used int he construction of sacred temples and government buildings.
