The '''Ranger''' | The {{translation|'''Ranger'''|レンジャー|Renjā}} is an advanced vocation in the series. Rangers are swift combatants that with high [[Agility]], with various abilities centered around evasiveness and eluding enemy attacks, and have a strong association with wildlife and the natural world. | ||

In ''Dragon Quest VI'', the Ranger increases Agility, Wisdom, and gives the party an increased chance to flee from battle at higher ranks, though it decreases Strength, Resilience, and Max HP. In ''Dragon Quest IX'', the Ranger has the most [[Deftness]] of all vocations, and serves as a physically oriented jack-of-all-trades by providing buffs, healing, and above-average damage output even from the back row. Though the vocation's only high stat is deftness, their tool-set is broad enough to cover a wide variety of circumstances while providing relief for the party's main healer, and also inflict tremendous damage through the powerful Wolf Whistle skill. | ||
Rangers focus on avoiding combat through silently navigating the field and dungeons without detection, having a greater chance to flee from foes, dodging attacks through the use of smoke techniques such as Mist Me. Starting with ''Dragon Quest IX'', they gained the ability to call from the aid of wolves in battle to perform attacks. | |||

Although the Ranger vocation does not appear in this game, the [[Armamentalist]] vocation was originally localised as Ranger in the English version of ''Dragon Warrior VII'' on the Sony PlayStation. | |||

Rangers return to the series for the first time since ''Dragon Quest VI''. The vocation's default design is strongly inspired by the hunters and inhabitants of the plains and steppes, such as Mongolians and American Indians, wielding bows and wearing outfits made of furs and leather. In order to change vocations to a Ranger, the player must first complete [[Template:DQIXQuest/112|Quest #112: Ranger Changer]]. At the base of the [[Heights of Loneliness]], speak to the ranger Odval, who wants you envenomate three [[Hocus chimaera|hocus chimaeras]] with [[Toxic Dagger]] and let them die from poison damage alone. After that, return to Odval to complete the quest. | |||

The stat spread and abilities are similar to the previous game, and the vocation has the highest Deftness by far once again. The biggest difference between ''IX'' and ''X'' for the Ranger is their ability to learn the [[Crag]] series of earth-elemental spells. | ||

The Ranger vocation was added to the game in the January 2020 update. It requires that a character reach Level 50 as a [[Martial Artist]] and [[Thief]] vocations first. They specialise mainly in equipping blue-coloured Monster Hearts and have a dual-coloured red and blue slot. Their preferred weapons are [[Knife (weapon type)|Knives]], {{Claw}}s, {{Whip}}s, and {{Boomerang}}s. Their special vocation ability Shadowbind occasionally stuns enemies when attacking. Reaching Level 70 as a Ranger is one of the requirements to become a Ninja or [[Druid]]. | |||
=={{DQSG}}== | |||
Ranger is the third advanced vocation in the game, added to the game on August 4th, 2026. It requires that a character reach Level 50 as both a [[Martial Artist]] and a [[Thief]]. They specialise in equipping red and blue-coloured Memories and their preferred weapons are {{Claw}}s, {{Whip}}s, and {{Boomerang}}s. Their Vocation Traits are Ranger Blade, which throws a dagger at the nearest enemy when moving and charges the Coup de Grâce gauge a small amount, and Fleet Feet, which increases the party's movement speed slightly. Their two Blessings are Fenrir's Hunt, which increases the damage of final normal attacks and Coups de Grâce, increasing further with the amount of status ailments inflicted, and Shadowbind, which rarely inflicts shadowbind on final normal attacks. | |||
