Dragon Warrior/Items and Equipment

From StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki

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.
