If you're playing the original NES version and you run out of space, remember that it's easy to use the Exit spell, then go to Gaia and sell off the excess treasure.  Always be sure the equipment doesn't have some secret use before selling it off forever.  If you don't want to spend the time going all the way back to Gaia, you can drop weapons or armor.  Just don't drop a valuable item.  After clearing the Sky Castle, you'll never want for Gold again.  Spend it on expensive magic spells to fill out your casting options.

Once you obtain the Adamantite, take it back to [[Final Fantasy/Locations#Mt. Duergar|Mt. Duergar]].  There a blacksmith will use the raw material to forde a fantastic sword known as Excalibur, which is second in power only to the Masamune.  The White and Black Robes found on this level are useful both as equipped armor and as spellcasting items during battle.  On the next level, you'll find a item called the Protect Cloack, which Black and White Wizards can equip as a shield.

The White and Black Robes found on this level are useful both as equipped armor and as spellcasting items during battle.  The Robes are equally as protective as the Ruby Armlet (NES: Gold Bracelet) while only weighing 1 point more.
 
The Black Robe is the only item which casts Blizzara (NES: Ice2).  If you have the Mage Staff, the Light Axe and Thor's Hammer (or the Zeus Gauntlets), the addition of the Black Robe gives a full array of endless elemental attacks for the variety of enemies you'll encounter, allowing non-magic users new abilities and saving casters from having to cast.
 
The White Robe casts Invisara (NES: INV2) which raises your entire party's ability to dodge.  The strongest enemies in the game you will soon have to confront.  They inflict multiple hits per attack making an 40 point increase in each Light Warrior's evade extremely useful.
 
The drawback is this: only the Black Wizard can equip the Black Robe; only the White Wizard can equip the White Robe.  If you do not have a White Wizard or White Wizard in your party and you have the NES version which allows only 4 slots for armor, you may have to pass up these items.
However, if you are using a White Wizard or Black Wizard equip them with their Robes.  Give the Diamond Armlet (NES: Opal Bracelet) to your Master, Ninja or Red Wizard.
 
On the next level, you'll find a item called the Protect Cloak (NES: ProCape), which any of your Wizard class should equip as a hand guard.
