Revocation (転生する, Tensei suru) is the process of changing a character from the maximum level (99) to the minimum level (1) in a single vocation in Dragon Quest IX. This process is useful for acquiring additional skill points, getting special items, and increasing the chances of getting higher quality treasure maps.

For a single character, revocation can be used as many times as you like for each vocation as long as he/she is level 99 in that vocation. If you revocate you will see after that vocation either +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6, +7, +8, +9, or finally a star. if you revocate again after you obtain the star it will stay as a star. The first time revocation is used on a vocation, a special item is given to the player as a bonus and if you revocate a hero's vocation 10 times you will get a new title (1 for each Vocation).

Also note that stat growth items (Pretty betsy, Seed of Life/Magic/Strength/Deftness/Agility/Defence/Sorcery/Therapeusis) and passive stat bonuses obtained with skill points will remain in effect even if you revocate, though stat bonuses gained by level-up are lost.

Maximizing skills[]

Revocation is necessary in order for a character to maximize his/her skills. See Skills (Dragon Quest IX) for more information.

Treasure map quality[]

The first 10 times the Hero revocates the same vocation, there is an improvement to the computed quality value of a treasure map. Each revocation increases the possible quality value by 5 points. For more information see Treasure map (Dragon Quest IX).

Special items[]

The first time a class is revocated, a special accessory is awarded to the player based on the vocation. Note that each item can only be obtained once.
