Line 6: Line 6:
Gaining access to the use of a ship is typically the result of completing some sort of quest or objective. Normally, the point in the game when a ship is acquired is near the mid-point of the game, as having a ship allows access to areas already visited and new areas which are fundamental to the next portion of the game. In the case of both ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', acquiring the ship is a segue to quests which requires the Hero to travel all over the world to retrieve specific items.
