<4> Basics ~

Unlike in most RPGs, items in Disgaea are complex entities in their own right. They have a level, a rarity, may be inhabitted by Specialists which increase their power, and might be more or less powerful at a particular level because of actions taken while leveling them. All of these factors contribute to their potency. In addition, characters get different levels of benefit from the same item based on a number of factors.

Every character can hold four items. One must be a weapon ('Wpn'), and three must be from the 'Etc' category. Monsters can only use Wpn-Monster weapons, and humanoids can use any Wpn except Wpn-Monster. Every item that a character holds can increase ten statistics of that character, and may have other effects:

Rank/Name            HP   SP  ATK  DEF  INT  SPD  HIT  RES   MV  JMP 39 Accelerator                     200      1000              3   30 40 Cosmic Blade     300  300 2000  300  300  300  300  300

Above are the statistics for a very good pair of shoes and a very good sword, when the items are normal rarity, with no specialists, at level 0. In practice you will never find items that have no specialists to start.

The only other type of item has the designation 'Item' and is never equipped on a character: it is used by a character from inventory. These items are generally curative (restoring HP and/or SP), although they do have other uses.

Aside from characters, you have two places to keep items: the Item Bag and the Warehouse. The Item Bag can hold 16 items; the Warehouse can hold 256. The only times you can access items in the Warehouse are when using 'Equip' or 'Item' from the castle menu, or while buying/selling items at the shops in the castle. You can use or equip items from the Item Bag while in the Dark Assembly, in battles, at the Item World, and everywhere that you can use the Warehouse. To switch between the Warehouse and Item Bag, use left and right.

<5> Item World

The item world has two main benefits: first, the item world is where you subdue Specialists, and second, each floor of the item world that you complete adds a small amount of power to the item. The item world is also the only place you can get some of the best equipment of the game, there is an early chapter that requires you to go through at least ten levels of the item world, and it is necessary to complete the item world for a Legendary item to get one of the endings of the game.

The item world is essentially a long, randomly generated dungeon. Each level has random topology, and may include islands, some of which may be far out of reach.

Each level will always contain a base panel and a 'Dimensional Warp' which takes you to the next level without completing the current one. Although portions of the item world may be disconnected, the base panel and Dimensional Warp will be connected. (The Dimensional Warp may be too high for any character to jump or be thrown to, or may be otherwise unreachable, but it will always be *connected* to the base panel.) Sitting on top of the Dimensional Warp may be an enemy unit with the special type 'Gatekeeper'. A Gatekeeper will never move from that spot (and any unit on the Dimensional Warp cannot be lifted). It can, however, be moved by special attacks such as Triple Strike, or warped away. Every level will have a minimum of three enemy units. (Note: Though I have not confirmed it, I am told that very small levels (1 panel by 2 panels) can appear, and will have fewer than three enemies, since they do not have room for three.)

Every tenth floor in the item world is special. Each one contains an Item General, Item King, or Item God, and these are the only floors at which you can leave the Item World without using a Mr. Gency's Exit. The first Bonus item for these levels is always a Mr. Gency's Exit; after you get the free one from Karla, this is the only sure way to acquire one. These floors also have a red background instead of a white one.

Item Generals appear on levels 10, 20, 40, 50, 70, and 80.

Item Kings appear on levels 30, 60, and 90.

Item God (or Item God 2) appears only on level 100.

If you are stuck or running low on HP, you can leave the Item World at any time by using a Mr. Gency's Exit. When you use this, you immediately return to the castle, and will reenter the item at the floor you left.

There is a single caveat on the use of Mr. Gency's Exit: if you kill an Item General or King, and choose 'No' when asked if you wish to return to the castle, then use Mr. Gency's Exit, the game will not count your Item General or King kill, and you won't get any of the power gain that you would normally get from the kill.

Except for the caveat above, there is no difference (in terms of the power of the item) between killing every enemy on every floor, skipping every floor, and using a Mr. Gency's Exit on every floor, then reentering, as long as you kill every Item General, King, and God.

Occasionally, a unit will spawn that represents a specialist. When this happens, the game will show that unit with the work 'CHECK' at the start of the floor. If you kill this unit, that specialists becomes subdued. Specialists are described in greater detail below.

<6> Formulas for Item Leveling

All numbers are related to individual statistics; in particular, the current number of specialists and the specialist counter are different for each stat that the item has.

n=level (as shown in battle screen) x=item generals counter (global to the item) b=base stat of the item (stat of a Normal item) c=specialist counter p=number of specialists currently on the item i=initial stat of the item (stat of the actual item) s=1 if i>0, -1 if i<0, or 0 if i=0

All numbers are computed/stored with high precision; however, the floor of the number is displayed.

Skipping/clearing level n: adds s+i/20+i*x*b/200 to each stat adds c*3/20 to each stat

Killing an Item General: adds s*b*(20+n)/200 to each stat adds p*(3+n*3/20) to each stat adds p to c for each stat adds 1 to x

Killing an Item King: adds s*b*(20+n)*2/200 to each stat adds p*(3+n*3/20)*2 to each stat adds 2*p to c for each stat adds 2 to x                     adds 1 Specialist slot

Killing an Item God (2): adds s*b*(20+n)*3/200 to each stat adds p*(3+n*3/20)*3 to each stat adds 1 Specialist slot [see note]

The death of an Item General or Item King is always calculated after the increase for the level that the General/King was on.

Note: no item can have more than 16 specialist slots.

For those who are interested, Appendix A contains my notes (mostly tables of item stats) from determining these formulae.

What all of this math really means is that:

You should always kill Item Generals/Kings/Gods.

If you want an extra boost to an item's stats, leave a specialist on the item while leveling it. Each specialist is worth 270 extra points to whichever stat it boosts on a Legendary item, if left for all 100 floors and all Generals/Kings/Gods are killed.

If you want to maximize any particular stat on an item, you have to subdue and remove all of the native specialists before you defeat the first Item General; this will require using Mr. Gency's Exit before finishing floor B10. Once you have removed all of the native specialists, but before you kill the first Item General, fill every slot on the item with specialists that boost whatever stat you are trying to maximize (e.g., to maximize ATK, fill the item with Gladiators). Then, go back into the item and proceed to level it, killing all Item Generals, Kings, and God. After killing each Item King, the item gains a specialist slot, so exit the Item World at that point and put another specialist on the item.

There is no difference between clearing and skipping floors, as long as you kill Item Generals/Kings/Gods.

If you level any item with a negative stat to level 100, that negative stat ends up being exactly -100.

<7> Item Specialists

Item Specialists are helpful spirits within an item. Every Specialist adds to the item's power. Specialists come in two forms: subdued and unsubdued. All specialists start out unsubdued and are displayed in silver dots or black text on the item screen. Specialists are subdued through the item world. Once a Specialist is subdued, it is displayed with blue dots and text, it doubles in power, and it may be transfered to another item.

Specialists may be combined. This takes two specialists of the same type and merges them into one Specialist with the power of both. If either of the old Specialists was unsubdued, the new Specialist will be unsubdued, and the power of the original subdued Specialist (if any) is halved before the combination. (This doesn't truly cause you to lose any power, as it will be doubled again if you subdue the new Specialist.)

Specialists are subdued by killing them when they appear in the item world. When a Specialist appears on a level of the item world, it will show 'CHECK' as the stage is loaded, and it will show in the 'Characters' list in blue text immediately after all enemy units and immediately before Geo Symbols.

Specialists will attack and be attacked by enemy units in the item world, so it is a good idea to kill them quickly. If enemy units kill the Specialist (or you end the stage before killing the Specialist, either by killing all enemy units or exiting to the next level), the Specialist will not be subdued. It can, however, reappear at a later level; it appears that there is a percentage chance of a specialist appearing on each level, as long as there is an unsubdued specialist in the item, so you do not have to kill every specialist on its first appearance.

<8> Specialist Types

Some of this information (especially from the Resistance, Increases, and Effects) came from the Item World Specialists guide by SephirothYuyX.

VERIFY All Specialists can be increased to power 19998 (the game will only allow 9999 as the power for a newly-combined Specialist; to get 19998, you have to combine a subdued and unsubdued Specialist to produce a 9999 unsubdued Specialist, then subdue it through the item world). However, many Specialists have a maximum effective power; neither a single extra-powerful Specialist nor multiple Specialists of lesser power can give a single character any benefit beyond that level.

Stat Bonuses

Each of these Specialists increases one of the eight statistics of an item by the Specialist's power level:

Dietician -- HP Master   -- SP Gladiator -- ATK Sentry   -- DEF Teacher  -- INT Coach    -- SPD Marksman -- HIT Physician -- RES

There is no effective limit to these Specialists.

Resistance

Each of these Specialists increases the item wearer's resistance to a particular form of attack:

Aeronaut   -- Wind Cryophile  -- Ice Firefighter -- Fire

VERIFY Pharmacist   -- Poison Coffee Maker -- Sleep Medicine Man -- Paralyze Psychologist -- Forget Social Worker -- Deprave

The maximum resistance any character can have to Wind, Ice, or Fire is 90%, which means that the maximum effective power is 140 for Aeronaut, Cryophile, and Firefighter (due to characters with negative base resistance).

Increases

Each of these Specialists increases how much of a particular thing the item wearer gains, each unit of power is equivalent to a single percent increase in gain (e.g., a character with a power 1 Statistician will gain 101% of normal experience; a character with a power 300 Statistician will gain 400% of normal experience):

Broker      -- HL Manager      -- Mana Statistician -- Experience

VERIFY Armsmaster  -- Weapon Mastery

The maximum effective power for Broker is 300. The maximum effective power for Manager is 300. The maximum effective power for Statistician is 300. (VERIFY) The maximum effective power for Armsmaster is 2400.

Effects

Each of these Specialists adds a chance of a status effect to attacks made by the holder of the item:

VERIFY Alchemist   -- Poison Hypnotist   -- Sleep Witch Doctor -- Paralyze Amnesiac    -- Forget Gangster    -- Deprave

<9> Rarity ~

There are three levels of rarity: normal, rare, and legendary. Below, the properties of each are listed.

Stat Bonus: Percentage increase of the first 8 stats on the item (HP,           SP, ATK, INT, DEF, SPD, HIT, RES) over the charts below. Initial Specialist Space: How many Specialists can inhabit the item, at                         level 0. Display: How the name of the item will be displayed on lists. Identifier: What shows up on the item screen to signify this rarity. Rarity Number: What rarity numbers correspond to this rarity. Item World Depth: How many levels exist in the item world within this type of item. Notes: Any other information.

Normal

Stat Bonus: None Initial Specialist Space: 4-7 Display: Flat black text Identifier: None Rarity Number: 32-255 Item World Depth: 30 Notes: Only normal items can be purchased from the shop in the castle.

Rare

Stat Bonus: +25% (floor(N * 5 / 4)) Initial Specialist Space: 7-10 Display: Flashing silver text Identifier: Rare Rarity Number: 8-31 Item World Depth: 60 (VERIFY) Notes:

Legendary

Stat Bonus: +50% (floor(N * 3 / 2)) Initial Specialist Space: 10-13 Display: Flashing gold or blue text Identifier: Legendary Rarity Number: 0-7 Item World Depth: 100 Notes: Most Legendaries have gold text; Hyperdrive, Super Robo Suit, and Yoshitsuna have blue text and oversized icons.

<10> Item Benefit

You may notice when equipping an item that you gain more or less benefit from that item than its listed stats. There are four reasons for this: Weapon Mastery, character level, stat aptitude, and identical rarity bonus.

Aptitude

Every class has aptitudes for each of the eight basic stats; these vary from 50% to 150% and show up on the character creation screen and on the character status screen. Aptitudes act as a multiplier to stat gains from items; for example, a level 1 character equipping a normal Muscle World (1000HP) will get 500HP with a 50% HP Aptitude, 1000HP with a 100% HP Aptitude, or 1500HP with a 150% HP Aptitude. The adjustment for Aptitude is applied after all other modifiers.

Weapon Mastery

When equipping a non-monster weapon, you get a bonus to all of weapon's stats equal to the equipping character's Weapon Mastery for that weapon type times 5%. The formula is (weapon stat)*(1 + mastery*.05). The maximum Weapon Mastery is 255, so the maximum Mastery bonus is 1275%.

Character Level

For monster weapons and accessories, you get a bonus based on the level of the character. These bonuses do not normally apply until the postgame, since they do not start until level 100, but they become quite substantial at later levels. They are calculated by the following formulas (thanks to Zepy for these):

lev <= 100: stat [no adjustment] 100 <= lev <= 500: stat * floor((lev + 100) / 2) / 100 500 <= lev <= 2000: stat * floor((lev + 1000) / 5) / 100 2000 <= lev       : stat * floor((lev + 4000) / 10) / 100

The maximum level is 9999, so the maximum level bonus is 1299%, or just a little higher than the maximum Mastery bonus.

Identical Rarity

If a character has more than one item with the same rarity equipped, then all such items recieve a boost in power. This works as a multiplier after weapon mastery and character level bonuses are applied. The multiplier ranges from 1.1 to 1.3, depending on how many items with identical rarity are equipped:

1          1 2           1.1 3           1.2 4           1.3
 * 1) Items     Multiplier

For example, if a level 1 character equips a normal Nightvision and a normal Muscle Ace, that character will normally get +50 INT, +200 HIT, and +200 HP. However, if the Muscle Ace and Nightvision happen to have the same rarity number--for example, if they both have rarity 46 on the item status screen--then the character will get +55 INT, +220 HIT, and +220 HP, due to the identical rarity bonus.

Rank/Name            HP   SP  ATK  DEF  INT  SPD  HIT  RES   MV  JMP 17 Nightvision                           50       200 14 Muscle Ace       200

<11> Item Ranks

Each item is assigned a 'rank', which roughly determines how 'good' the item is. Ranks go from 1 to 42, and they determine what level of enemies will be found in the item world for that item. Below are the 'LV+' ranks for level 1 from the 'Go to Item World' screen (thanks to JungleJim for producing this table):

Rank LV+      Rank LV+       Rank LV+       Rank LV+       Rank LV+ 1   1         10   10        19   25        28   47        37   76 2    1         11   11        20   27        29   50        38   79 3    2         12   12        21   29        30   53        39   127 4    3         13   14        22   31        31   56        40   255 5    4         14   16        23   34        32   59        41   255 6    5         15   17        24   36        33   62 7    5         16   19        25   39        34   66 8    7         17   21        26   41        35   69 9    8         18   22        27   44        36   73

The levels listed are *minimum* levels; in general, the enemies on any given floor will be higher level than the LV+ number. Also, these numbers are for floor 1; later floors have more powerful enemies.

<12> Hospital Items ~

The Hospital gives you prizes whenever reach certain numbers for each of HP, SP, and Dec (Deceased) healed. Thanks to JungleJim for these tables:

HP Prize               SP  Prize              Dec  Prize 100 Muscle Brawn        50  Common Orb           5  Caterpillar Egg 400 Muscle Hustle      100  Imperial Seal 1000 Muscle Spirit      200  Psyche Orb 2000 Muscle Fight       500  Dark Orb 5000 Muscle Ace        1000  Blood Orb 10000 Muscle Victory    2000  Star Orb 40000 Muscle Dream      5000  Moon Orb 10000 King Orb

<13> Ultimate Items ~

The 'ultimate' items of the game are very difficult to acquire, but worth it (and necessary to beat the most powerful enemy in the game).

For weapons, they are acquired by entering a Legendary item one level of power below of the same type, fighting to level 100, and stealing it from the Item God there.

Once you have any item of rank 40 or above, you can level it to 100, then steal another Legendary item of the same type from the Item God 2 at floor B100.

For reference, the Item God 2 I'm currently fighting has these stats:

(No 'More Difficult Enemies' bills passed) Level 6,933 [Fixed] HP: 10,184,640 SP: 199,698 ATK: 186,416 DEF: 141,452 HIT: 147,000 INT: 176,816 SPD: 147,000 RES: 135,906 EXP: 36,643,537,935 NEXT: 10,573,275 Skills: Omega Wind (Mastery 80) Tera Ice (Mastery 80) Star (Mastery 80)

Except for the level, you can expect these numbers to vary somewhat (+/-10%), but you need to be prepared before you attempt to kill (or steal from) Item God 2.

The ultimate items are: Wpn-Axe: Apocalypse (VERIFY) Wpn-Fist: Ultimus Wpn-Sword: Yoshitsuna Wpn-Spear: Glorius Wpn-Gun: Etoile Wpn-Bow: Galaxy (VERIFY) Wpn-Monster: Nyanko Soul Etc-Robot: Super Robo Suit Etc-Engine: Hyperdrive

The Super Robo Suit can be stolen from Baal.

The Hyperdrive you get automatically from defeating an Item God 2.

Monster weapons are a little different. The rank 40 monster weapon is Nyanko Soul, which can be acquired at the end of a Lucifer Force, or can be raken from Majorly. There are also a rank 41 and rank 42 monster weapon. The rank 41 is the Nemesis, which is a better weapon than Nyanko Soul; it can be stolen from Baal. The rank 42, Nemesis Mk II, is stolen from Prinny Baal, and has better base stats than the Nemesis--but it comes at level 100, and Baal apparently doesn't kill any Item Generals/ Kings/Gods, nor does he subdue any specialists when leveling his items.

There is no simple way to get a Legendary second-best item. The easiest way is to play around in high-level item worlds until you see one appear either on the Bonus screen or in some enemy's inventory. For reference, they are:

Wpn-Axe: Durandal (VERIFY) Wpn-Fist: God's Fist Wpn-Sword: Cosmic Blade Wpn-Spear: Longinus Wpn-Gun: Infernal Gun Wpn-Bow: Artemis Bow (VERIFY) Wpn-Monster: Lucifer Force (VERIFY)

See the Item World Strategies section for advice on how to deal with the Item World.

<14> Item World Strategies

The Item World gives many people headaches; here are some strategies for dealing with particularly tricky situations, and for treasure hunting.

The single most important rule for the Item World is: always make sure that there is a Mr. Gency's Exit in your Item Bag when going through the Item World. This item will let you escape from the current floor, and when you re-enter the item, you will return to the same floor, but it will have a new, randomly-generated layout.

The most common Item World problems come from Geo Panels, particularly No Lifting and Invincibility. Although the details of setting up Geo Chains is outside the scope of this guide, it is important to know the ways of getting rid of Geo Symbols:

1. Reduce symbol to 0 HP through attacks. 2. Throw symbol into enemy unit. 3. Enemy unit thrown into symbol. 4. Damage from a color change will always destroy a Geo Symbol. 5. The Scout "Geo Change" ability will randomly reset the Geo Panels and symbols on a field.

So, for example, if you have a Gatekeeper that is Invincible, and the Invincibility symbol is out of reach, you can destroy another symbol on the same color of Geo Panel (probably by throwing it onto an enemy or throwing an enemy onto it).

The other problem that sometimes happens is that the Dimensional Gate is at a location that is inaccessible due to height problems--for example, it is at the top of a high pillar. For this problem, there are two solutions: good throwers, and good jumpers. Rogues make the best throwers, and may be able to throw a character to a location that would otherwise be inaccessible. For jumpers, at low levels Ninjas and Scouts have the best jumping ability; late in the game, Ninjas and Majins do. Equip one of these with the best shoes you can find.

Treasure hunting requires more strategy than mere survival does; while the steps outlined above should suffice to get you through almost any undesirable layout, more is required to get Bonus Meter items and items from enemy inventories.

First, when treasure hunting, always check the Bonus and Character options on the battle menu to see if there is something that you want. Then, if there is, you need to figure out how to get it.

If the item is in an enemy inventory, it is usually easy to get. Simply have a Rogue use a Hand item from your Item Bag on the enemy, and, unless the enemies severely outclass you, you should have no problem stealing whatever you want. (The Rogue's level should be slightly over half of the enemy's level.)

If you want an item from the bonus meter, things get a little trickier. You have to both fill the Bonus meter and kill every enemy on the level. Filling the Bonus Meter is most easily done through Geo Chains (as explained in the in-game tutorial and other guides), but can be done through other means:

1. Geo Chains 2. Killing a unit 3. Counterattacking 4. Combo Attacking 5. Team Attacking

Except for Geo Chains, the individual bonuses tend to be small. Note that the meter will rise a little further if a Rogue participates in the action. Also note that, if there are few Geo Panels on a level, you can clear them in a chain, then use Geo Change and clear the new set, getting a bonus both times.

Once you have filled the Bonus Meter (at least high enough to get the desired item(s)), you have to kill every enemy unit on the level. This can sometimes be difficult, particularly when the enemies are on far-away islands. In this case, there are a few tricks to help. First, you can try to throw characters to the enemies' islands; the Rogue is best for this with a throw of 6. Also use the diagonal throw technique: if you hit 'X' while rocking the D-pad back and forth between two directions, the game will allow you to throw a character in between those two directions.

If you can't throw a character (either because there are no free spaces on the island or because it is too far away), then you have to use ranged attacks. Guns have the longest range for normal attacks; magic is best for things that are just outside of gun range. However, the longest-range attack in the game is Dark Cannon, the other Scout skill. Dark Cannon can attack any place on the board that is not blocked by a wall; unfortunately, after the initial attack it will fire on the closest unit--ally or enemy--at the end of each turn, so you must move your characters away quickly (lifting and throwing the cannon helps as well).

Lastly, rely on your own cleverness. The Item World is randomly- generated, and although it has some constraints, some very strange and very difficult layouts sometimes appear. Hopefully these strategies will help you get through them.

<15> Theft ~

Theft is a very important ability late in the game. It is the only way to get the best items, and it is an easy way to get good items in the endgame.

To steal, you have to use one of the 'Hand' items (Stealing Hand, Plunder Hand, Cha-Ching Hand, Bandit's Hand, Awesome Hand). Simply go to 'Item' on the character action menu, select the hand you want to use, and move the cursor to the character you want to steal from. (Note: if you fail, you do not lose the hand.)

Rogues are *much* better at stealing than other classes, though any class can steal. Their levels count double in the formula, they have twice the maximum chance to steal, and they can steal opponents' stats as well as items.

Rogues have a chance to steal items and stats governed by the following formula (thanks to Scy046):

c = h + t*2 + 25 - e - r*3 - a

c: The percentage chance to steal. h: The HIT statistic of the hand being used (including specialists). t: The level of the thief. e: The level of the enemy. r: The rank of the item. a: 0 if the rarity of the item is Normal, 10 if the rarity is Rare, 30 if the rarity is Legendary, or 100 if the item has rarity 0.

Statistics are considered Normal rank 0 items for this equation.

A Rogue can have, at most, a 99% chance to steal.

Other classes have a chance to steal items governed by the following formula:

c = h + t - 30 - e - r*3 - a

c: The percentage chance to steal. h: The HIT statistic of the hand being used (including specialists). t: The level of the thief. e: The level of the enemy. r: The rank of the item. a: 0 if the rarity of the item is Normal, 10 if the rarity is Rare, 30 if the rarity is Legendary, or 100 if the item has rarity 0.

Non-Rogues cannot steal statistics.

Non-Rogues can have, at most, a 50% chance to steal.

What this means is that you should use Rogues to steal, and if you always want to have a 99% chance to steal, make sure your Rogue's level is at least (enemy level / 2 + 141), and use vanilla, level 0 Bandit's Hands. A level 1 Rogue should be able to steal anything with a Hand with at least 7062 hit, but you'd be wasting a lot of Marksmen.

<16> Item List

 Maximum ATK

Since the question arises on a regular basis, this section outlines the maximum ATK a character can have, prior to using Extra Gain and stat theft.

The optimum character, somewhat surprisingly, is Thursday. This is surprising since Thursday cannot Transmigrate, and therefore misses out on Transmigration bonuses, and cannot equip the Yoshitsuna, which is, by far, the most powerful weapon in the game.

However, both of these flaws are vastly overcompensated by Thursday's 150% aptitude in almost all stats.

The most powerful weapon Thursday can equip is the Nemesis. (The Nemesis Mk II is better in theory, but since you steal it already leveled to 100, and Baal does not kill Item Generals/Kings/Gods, the Nemesis is actually better.)

To truly maximize the Nemesis, you have to get one with 13 specialist slots at level 0, subdue and remove all specialists before completing floor 10, and fill it with Gladiators. Then, after killing each Item King (and thereby adding another slot to the item), fill the new slot with another Gladiator. If you do this, it adds 3,888 ATK to the item.

The Nemesis at level 100 has 45,100 ATK, if you kill all Item Generals/Kings/Gods.

The Nemesis with 13 slots at level 0 will have 16 slots at level 100. These must all be filled by power 19998 Gladiators. If you do all of this, then your Nemesis will have:

3888 (spec. bonus) + 45100 (level 100) + 319968 (specs) = 368956 ATK

You must then do the same thing with 3 Legendary Champion Belts, making sure that each has 13 specialist slots at level 0 and that each has the exact same rarity number as the Nemesis.

3888 (spec. bonus) + 27100 (level 100) + 319968 (specs) = 350956 ATK

Equip the Nemesis and all three Champion Belts on Thursday, at level 9999:

(368956 + 3*350956) * 13.99 (level 9999) * 1.3 (rarity bonus) * 1.5 (aptitude) = 38,788,069 ATK

Add Thursday's intrinsic ATK:

10 (base stat) + 9998 (level gains) * .45 (level gain multiplier) * 10 (base stat) = 45,001 ATK

For a grand total of 38,833,060 ATK.

The second-best character for ATK is Priere, and the third-best character for ATK is a Divine Majin. However, there is no known cap on the number of points that can be gained through Extra Gain and stat stealing, which makes these kinds of evaluations somewhat irrelevant. (Though it should be noted that, once it is set up, getting points through Extra Gain should be much faster than getting points through stat theft.)

 Item Leveling Formulae Notes

These are just my notes, unsupported, for those who want to have some idea of how I went about figuring out the item formulae. There are some things that are missing, but it's a mostly-complete set of data.

Other notes:

Level 0-10, no exit, same as exitting at Level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10.

Accidentally discovered that using Mr. Gency at level 11, without exitting at level 10, erases Item General Kill.

Created a level 0 Infernal Gun with no specialists by using 4 Mr. Gency's Exits on level B1, and saving/reloading a bunch of times. The odds of a specialist appearing on level 1 seem to better than 1 in 4, as long as there is an unsubdued specialist in the item. Other items I did not do this with, but values come out the same, which supports my theories. The Cosmic Blade I took out for testing, always removed its native residents by exitting at level 9; all other items were me getting Coaches so that I could do an 8-Coach test.

Belts are so that I can determine equations for negative stats.

Then Scy046 goes and mentions this formula:

[Chance to steal =] (Hit of Hand + Rogue's Levelx2) - ((Enemy Level + 25) + z(Rank*3 + R)) R = 0 for normal, 10 for rare, 30 for legendary

Which, when corrected to this:

[Chance to steal =] (Hit of Hand + Rogue's Levelx2) - ((Enemy Level - 25) + z(Rank*3 + R))

or

[Chance to steal =] (Hit of Hand + Rogue's Levelx2) - Enemy Level + 25 - Rank*3 - R

is perfect, saving me a lot of work.

And, once again, someone (Zepy) on the message boards posts an almost-perfect formula:

Monster weapons(calculated by character levels): Below lvl 100: 100% lvl 101 ~ 500: ((lvl - 100) / 2 + 100)% lvl 501 ~ 2000: ((lvl - 500) / 5 + 300)% lvl 2001 and above: ((lvl - 2000) / 10 + 600)%

Just add in aptitudes and note that the divisions above are integer division (thus floor'ed):

lev <= 100: floor(stat * apt / 100) 100 <= lev <= 500: floor(stat * apt * floor((lev - 100) / 2 + 100) / 10000) 500 <= lev <= 2000: floor(stat * apt * floor((lev - 500) / 5 + 300) / 10000) 2000 <= lev: floor(stat * apt * floor((lev - 2000) / 10 + 600) / 10000)
