Dragon Warrior/Items and Equipment

There are many valuable items available in the shops of Alefgard, and others that can be found hidden in dungeons or Treasure Chests. Some items have magical properties, but they can be used only once, unlike spells. In many towns you will find weapons and armor to strengthen you.

Wanted: One used Sword. Once you have purchased an item you may keep it and use it, or you may sell it back to a shopkeeper. Keep in mind, however, that if you sell an item, you will receive only a portion of what you paid for it new.

Equipment

There are three slots for equippable items. No action is needed to equip a piece of equipment once it's been purchased; you may only carry one piece of each type and it is automatically used by your character. Weapon strength adds directly to your base strength (power) to determine attack power; armor and shield defense are added to half your agility (response speed) to determine your final defense power.

Weapons

Bamboo Pole	+2	10G	Brecconary, Cantlin	Inexpensive but not very effective in battle. Save your gold for the Club. In the mobile and Switch versions, you start with this weapon.
Club/Oaken Club	+4	60G	Brecconary, Cantlin, Garinham	A good first weapon. You can buy it in Brecconary at the start of the game.
Copper Sword	+10	180G	Brecconary, Cantlin, Garinham, Kol, Rimuldar	By the time you have enough gold for the sword, you'll need its extra power.
Hand Axe/Iron Axe	+15	560G	Garinham, Rimuldar	An excellent weapon for a reasonable price.
Broad Sword/Steel Sword	+20	1500G	Rimuldar, Cantlin	Forged of hardened steel, this sword demands respect.

Magic Armor	+24	7700G	Rimuldar, Cantlin	An enchanted suit to ward off attacks by the enemies you are sure to meet and restores one hit point for every four steps you take. This reduces damage from Hurt and Hurtmore by ⅓.
Erdrick's Armor/Loto's Armor	+28	Priceless	Hauksness	You can't buy this ancient armor. You must find it. But the reward is well worth the effort - it restores a lost hit point for every step you take and prevents damage from walking on damaging tiles. This reduces damage from Hurt and Hurtmore by ⅓, and prevents Stopspell from working against you. It also reduces damage from flame breath attacks by ⅓ as well.

Shields
