BUT... - Hero can make a METAL WING BOOMERANG if he finds a METAL KING SPEAR. - Jessica can get her ultimate whip, the GRINGHAM WHIP (200,000 BACCARAT TOKENS) which hits all monsters. - Angelo can use ODIN'S BOW which has a higher attack. + MEGATON HAMMER is Yangus's ultimate Club. BUT... - The CONQUEROR'S AXE is almost as strong and the Axe skills seem to be better than Club Skills. - He also gets FLAIL OF FURY from Red, which hits all enemies. * And, when you have 100 medals, Yangus will get FLAIL OF DESTRUCTION. > No skills come with flails, but this one is VERY strong (ATTK = 125). + METAL KING ARMOUR: - The ultimate armour in the game for all four characters. - It can ONLY be obtained through ALCHEMY. * To make one of this armour for each member of Hero's party, you'll need: > Four LIQUID METAL ARMOUR for 50,000 TOKENS each in Bacarrat Casino. = 200,000 tokens altogether. > Four ORICHALCUM. + METEORITE BRACER: - This Bracer increases agility. - It may pay to make one (or two), to make the UBER FALCON BLADE. * RECIPE = FALCON BLADE + METEORITE BRACER - You'll get a METEORITE BRACER from Princess Minnie at 60 medals. + GODDESS RING: - Restores MP as the person wearing it walks in the field. * But it seemed to be very, very, very slow in doing that. - It does provide good resistance to SNOOZE, FUDDLE, and PARALYSIS type attacks. - It sells for 25,500 G. + METAL KING SHIELD: - The ultimate shield in the game. - You only find one RUINOUS SHIELD. * You may be able to get more, if you defeat HELL'S GATEKEEPER AND... > you're lucky! * I haven't met any, so I'm not sure where you'll find them. > Possibly in the Black Citadel. - Because the RUINOUS SHIELD is cursed, you'll also have to use SAINT'S ASHES.

DEFENSIVE EQUIPMENT + + + +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ ~ Defensive equipment is defined as: + ARMOUR = coverings for the body. + HELMETS = head coverings. + SHIELDS = additional defense. =================================================================================== +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + 2-3.A. ARMOUR FOR ALL + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Each type of defensive equipment (Armour, Shields, Helmets) are listed separately. - Items are listed in order of increasing defense. - After the first list (of all armour), the Alchemy recipes are listed. + In the following charts, 'DEF' = Level of Defense. - The number given is the total DEF for that particular item. * If a defensive item with DEF = 20, is replaced by an item with DEF =30. > Only the difference (in this example, 10) is added to the person's defense. ___________________________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------- - SOME ARMOUR IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO MAKE - ----------------------------------------- ~ EXAMPLES (YANGUS'S ARMOUR): + YOUR CHOICE: - The Bandit Mail (defense 80) costs 9,350 G. to make (if you have to buy HEAVY ARMOUR). * But it costs 13,000 G. to buy. = You may decide its worth it. HOWEVER... * You can make the DARK ROBE (defense 87) for no cost (the ingredients are found or gotten from monsters). = The Cloak of Evasion (you find two): > Costs 3,000 G. to buy at the Paddlers tent on the way to Argonia, and sells for 1,500 G. * And even if you have buy one to make a DARK ROBE: = The DARK ROBE sells for 10,500 G. - Chain Mail is also expensive to make. * It only costs 500 G so it is cheaper to buy (at Peregrin Quay). * a chain whip COSTS 2,200 G. to buy and sells for 1,100 G. ~ Items marked with $$$ are definitely too expensive to make, so their recipes are not included. ___________________________________________________________________________________ ----------------------- - LIST OF ALL ARMOUR - ----------------------- ~ This is a long list so I have split it where the defensiveness increases above 50 points. + The DRAGON ROBE is a prize for beating Rank S at the Monster Arena. + THe DANGEROUS BUSTIER is an ingredient for the MUCH stronger DIVINE BUSTIER. NOTE: Because this chart is a long one, it is split into four sections. - First section Defense is less than 25. - Second section Defense is between 25 & 50. - Third section between 50 and 100. - Last section above 100.
