How to Farm Stat Seeds

Set Up Game For Quick Progression

Battle Speed

Seed Farming is best utilized when you have set the game to optimize your farming method, which means reducing any unnecessary processes to speed up seed farming.

A recommended setup is to set your Battle Speed to Ultra Fast, enabling you to breeze through your battles more quickly.

Additionally, setting Whistle to one of your Short-cut Commands can help attract enemies that drop seeds more effectively.

Equip the Optimal Farming Equipment

Dragon Quest I Store

Once you have optimized the speed for your farming setup, then it's time to have the proper level and use the right equipment for seed farming.

Leveling up is important given that it determines how quickly you can defeat opponents in battle.

A recommended accessory to equip is the Pirate King's Necklace, which increases the rewards received from battle.

Defeat Monster That Drop Seeds

Dragon Quest 1 - Spells

Once you've established the proper speed optimization and equipped the proper equipment, then proceed to a location where the monster you wish to farm will roam frequently.

Use the Whistle to increase your encounters with enemies, and take advantage of the Pirate King's Necklace to receive more seeds after battle.
