Nook grass is a recurring item in the Dragon Quest series.
Appearances[]
Dragon Quest VIII[]
Making its debut, it is an alchemy ingredient that serves as a higher tier of fiery ingredient above the Red mould. It is equivalent to using two red mould when used to transmute Super spicy cheese. It can also be used to make the ever powerful Crimson robe.
Nook grass cannot be bought and can only be gotten as a gift from NPCs. It is first given to the party by Marta for Marek, and then eventually Marek will be the one to dispense the rare herb. It sells for 600g.
Dragon Quest X[]
Now an important item, it is used to cure Ogres who were lost in the snowy mountains, given to the Hero by Kurifugen's aide in the first episode of King of Ranago Village. It is later revealed that the Hero's sibling created the nook grass through alchemy and gave it to the first Ogre pioneers of Rangao Village.
