Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King/Weapons

There are eleven different categories of weapons in Dragon Quest VIII. All of these types function differently from each other. Some may attack single targets while others may strike all of the enemies on the field. A character's skill points and abilities can also attribute to a weapon's usefulness: for example a Hero with 50 Sword points will be more proficient with a Sword than a Hero with 20 Sword points.
