When to Gadabout Class Change

Change to a Sage Class at Level 20

The Gadabout can be changed to a Sage class without the use of the Words of Wisdom item. The only requirement to do this is to level up this class to level 20 and going to the Alltrades Abbey to make the change.

How to Class Change

Gadabout Explained

Further Into Levels, They Move on Their Own

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

During its early levels, you can control what moves they will do. However, as you level them up, the Gadabout class will "ignore" your commands and will do its own moves. This can range from being beneficial for the team or downright disastrous. Beware!

still worth getting because the goof off can work wonders and you'll still have the abilities learned when you switch to another class.

yeah but the higher their level the less and less they're worth using because you can't control them is stupid.
