The '''seed of wisdom''' is a recurring item in the {{DQSeries}}. It is a seed that permanently increases the {{Wisdom}} of whoever consumes it. They can be found throughout the world in treasure chests, dropped by monsters, and by searching in different places, such as bags, pots, and drawers. The seeds cannot be purchased at any store, and give the user 1~3 points of Wisdom.

Due to system changes the 50% stat cut that takes place when a character changes vocations at {{Alltrades Abbey 3}} will not affect the point boosts given by seeds, which are permanently applied to a character.

In the original version of this game for the {{NES}}, the item was removed, possibly because the [sSeed of magic]] (which was first introduced in this game) was intended to replace it. It was brought back in remake versions of the game.

==={{DQ5}}===
In this game, seeds of wisdom are used to increase the Wisdom of a single character or monster companion by 1~3 points or can be sold for 45 gold each. However, in this game, Wisdom is meaningless for human characters as it does not affect MP growth or the strength of spells. A minimum Wisdom of 20 is necessary for monster companions to follow player commands in battle. Notably, the [[Goodybag (Recruit)|Goodybag]] is the only monster in the game whose Wisdom never increases no matter how many times it levels up, making them practically a necessity if the player wishes to use one. Once a monster companion's Wisdom has reached 20, there is no need to increase it any further.

Seeds of wisdom can be found at the [[Winter Palace]], [[Whealbrook]], [[Mostroferrato]], [[Gotha]], and the [[Moot Point]], as well as prizes at the [[Fortuna]], [[Faerie Lea]], and Stark Raving [[Treasures n' Trapdoors]] boards. They can be dropped by [[Combatterpillar]]s, [[Hunter mech]]s, [[Flamethrower]]s, [[Drag-goof]]s, and [[Toxtongue]]s.

==={{DQ6}}===
Seeds of wisdom once again increase the Wisdom of a single character by 1~3 points or can be sold for 15 gold each. As in the previous game, Wisdom does not affect the rate of MP growth or spells in any way. Seeds can be found at [[Howcastle]]s, [[Turnscote]], the [[Seabed Shrine]], [[Felonia]], and [[Dullerton]], or can be dropped by [[Scorching man|Scorching men]], [[Ewwnicorn]]s, [[Stinkerbell]]s, [[Mythsteed]]s, [[Brick]], and the [[Third Test]].

==={{DQ7}}===
Seeds of wisdom increase the Wisdom of a single character by 1~3 points or can be sold for 10 gold each. In this game, although Wisdom does not affect any parameters in battle, having a high Wisdom is necessary for winning the Wisdom category for the [[Excellence Grading Organisation]] at [[El Ciclo]] in the present.

Seeds can be found at [[Estard]], the [[Poolside Cave]] in the past, [[Gröndal]] in the present, [[El Monumento de Pomposo]], and [[Wetlock]] in the present. More seeds can be won as prizes from the Lucky Panel at the [[Casino]] in both [[Buccanham]] and [[the Haven]]. They can also be dropped by [[Cheeky devil]]s, [[Malevolantern]]s, [[Vial creature]]s, [[Hexicon]]s, [[Vigilantern]]s, and [[Briny mine]]s, as well as [[Imp]]s, [[Lover lamp]]s, [[Grillerpillar]]s, and [[Hunter mech]]s in the Nintendo 3DS version.

}}
Seeds of wisdom will increase the Wisdom of a single character by 1~3 points or can be sold once again for 10 gold each. For the first time in the series, Wisdom affects the strength of attack spells, up to a certain point. Seeds can be found at a pot in [[Port Prospect]], a [[treasure chest]] in the [[Maella Region]]{{tt|*|Requires the Thief's Key to open}}, a pot in [[Pickham]], another pot in [[Baccarat]], a treasure chest in [[Kingdom of Argonia|East Argonia]], and in a [[treasure chest]] in [[Savella Cathedral]]{{tt|*|Requires the Thief's Key to open}}. Additionally, they can be dropped or stolen from [[Mimic king]]s or [[Blue fang]]s, along with [[Santaclops]], [[Tortured Soul in Memoriam]], and [[Marcello in Memoriam]].

Seeds of wisdom can only be used in a single recipe for the [[Alchemy Pot]].
* In the Nintendo 3DS version, seeds of wisdom can be found randomly in blue treasure chests in the [[Farebury Region]] or [[Alexandria Region]], as well as the purple treasure chests in [[Memories Lane]].
