Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

In the Dragon Quest III remakes, slippery devil is a personality that improves agility and wisdom growth, but reduces strength and resilience growth.

At the start of the game, the Hero becomes a slippery devil by receiving the final test of character in the town. The hero must take the purse, then don't confess being a thief when confronted.

Other party members have a chance to be a slippery devil when talent scouted at Patty's Party Planning Place as any class, with the exception of martial artists, depending on their stat bonuses.

An existing character becomes a slippery devil permanently by reading the Would I Lie to You? book.

The slippery devil personality decreases Strength by 5%, increases Resilience by 10%, increases Agility by 10%, decreases Stamina by 10%, increases Wisdom by 20%, and has no influence on Luck. A character of any vocation can become a slippery devil by reading the Would I Lie to You? book. It is possible to create a character from Patty's Party Planning Place that starts as a slippery devil. However, even by replicating the same method of distributing seeds, it is still possible to end up with a different personality.

Vocation Attribute Seed Distribution
  
  • Seed of resilience x2
    Seed of agility x1
    Seed of wisdom x1
    Seed of luck x1
  
  • Seed of agility x5
    
  • Seed of strength x3
    Seed of wisdom x2
