Game	VII X Of the Stars Walk

The Pirate is one of the intermediate vocations first available in Dragon Quest VII. Keeping with the title's nautical theme, they embody the ferocity and unpredictability of the seven seas.

Description

The pirate is toughened by the high seas and a life of banditry. They have high agility and a chance of stealing items from enemies after battle.

Appearances

Main games

Dragon Quest VII

They combine the skills of a Sailor and a Thief and requires mastery of both to unlock. Pirates are unique among VII's vocation in that they possess two traits: becoming highly resistant to Maelstrom and more prone to pilfer as they advance in rank.

Dragon Quest X

The Pirate vocation reappears in Dragon Quest X from Version 6.0 onwards, with their initial level at 50, similar to other advanced vocations introduced during Version 4 and beyond.

Their skill trees consist of Boomerangs, Axes, Bows, Knives, Fisticuffs and Shields, as well as the new Ballistics (ほうげき Hōgeki) skill tree, which consist of summoning static cannons that constantly rain damage to their targeted enemy and flintlock pistols to inflict status effects. Their Coup de Grâce is the Ultra Cannon Holder.

In Astoltia, the Hero can become a pirate upon joining the crew of Captain Madlock, a good-natured pirate that travels the sea in search for adventure, and to get rid the world from the fragments of power left behind by Megoa, an ancient evil god created by Jagonuba.
