The '''Mod Rod'''~~, formerly translated as the ''Staff of Change'' and ''Staff of Transform'',~~ is a item that first appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''. It is used as an item to transform a character(s) into a different shape.

The '''Mod Rod''' is a item that first appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''. It is used as an item to transform a character(s) into a different shape, ranging from dancing girls to ferocious monsters. This elicits different responses from NPCs depending on which shape as been assumed, allowing naughty players to terrorize townsfolk as slimes.

The staff is originally held by a [[Boss Troll]] in [[Manoza]] who assumed the form of the king with it. The staff can be traded for the [[Boatman's Bone]] in [[Greenlad]]. Upon revisiting the old man, he will have already used the staff assuming a different form per visit. Oddly enough, he can turn into [[Pimiko]] with it, while the players can't.

Oddly enough, he can turn into [[Pimiko]] with it, while the players can't.

It can also be used to buy items from the shop in the [[Super Secret Faerie Village]], providing you take the form of a dwarf (or [[Slime]] in the remakes). The remakes also allow the player a chance to acquire another Mod Rod within the [[Treasures n' Trapdoors]] track in Jipang (after wishing for [[Xenlon]] to create it), and further rods can also be found as monster drops in the [[Ice Cave]]. As neither the Ice Cave nor T'n'T have been included in the mobile remakes of the game, players on the most recent releases and on the original NES release have just one window to shop at the [[Super Secret Faerie Village]].

Turning into a monster with it allows for the player to talk to the [[Imp]] in [[Asham]] or the [[Minidemon]] on the [[Phantom Ship]] without triggering a battle. Though both will state awareness of the player not really being a monster.

Line 24:

In the NES Version, using the staff also allowed for transformations into The Hero (both male or female), [[Ragnar]], [[Alena]], [[Kiryl]], [[Borya]], [[Torneko]], [[Maya]] or [[Meena]].

The mod rod is found in the sky key gate, specifically in Fhunt village. Speaking to a sage in the graveyard will allow the player to access the tower in the northern part of town. The staff is needed for the gate's plotline, and the player can keep it afterwards to have fun interactions with NPCs.

The mod rod is a key item in the [[Moonbrooke]] island section of the game, allowing players to sneak into the enemy camps and gather intel on the weaknesses of Hargon's Heroes.
