When to Mage Class Change

Change to Warrior Class at Level 21

Level up your Mage character to 21 to unlock the TwinHits spell. After this, you can go ahead and change to a Warrior class. This will build a powerful spell caster and attacker, pulling from the benefits of both classes.

Change to Sage Whenever You Want To

You can change to the Sage class by using the Words of Wisdom item. However, since both have basically the same roles (with the Sage only having the slight advantage), you can change to the Sage class whenever you want to.

Can Use Spells for Offense and Support

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake (DQ3) Mage

Similar to the Sage class, Mages have high Intelligence (INT) stat growth, allowing for more MP to cast spells. Their spells range from the offensive to spells that can heal the party, making them a versatile class for a party.

Can Be Vulnerable to Attacks

While their INT stats are high, their other stats are low, so they can be the squishiest members of the party. The early levels of a Mage is where they are most vulnerable, so keep an eye out on any damage dealt to them!
