In Dragon Quest 3 Remake, each character’s personality affects their stat growth, so some personalities are better suited to different playstyles. The Vamp personality, for example, provides significant boosts to Agility and Luck, making it ideal for players who want to excel in combat and dodge attacks more effectively. However, Vamp is only available to characters with Appearance B, the female Heroine, so it’s a great option for players aiming for a fast, agile playthrough. In contrast, the male counterpart Lothario doesn’t provide the same stat advantages, so if you’re looking to maximise Agility and Luck, Vamp is the superior choice.

How to Change to Vamp Personality
If you begin with a different personality or want to change your character’s personality later, there are two ways to switch to Vamp:
- Guns n’ Buns Book: For a permanent personality change to Vamp, you’ll need to find the Guns n’ Buns book. This rare item is dropped by Xenion, a tough post-game boss located on the top floor of Cloudsgate Citadel. Once you have the book, reading it will permanently change a female character’s personality to Vamp.
- Garter Accessory: You can equip the Garter accessory in the main slot of any female character to temporarily adopt the Vamp personality. To get the Garter, return five Mini-Medals to Manny in Mini-Medal Manor, which is located at the bottom of the Aliahan well.
As you continue through the game, you might discover other Garters or ways to obtain the Guns n’ Buns book, but for now, these are the methods for switching to a Vamp personality.
