Final Fantasy V has a wide variety of weapons providing a huge range of effects. However, some weapons are exclusive to certain jobclasses unless a special ability is equipped. For example, Bartz as a Knight will never be able to equip a rod unless he has '!EqRod', which you gain from mastering the Time Mage job class. Unless otherwise noted, the buy price for the item is twice the sell price, though many weapons aren't sold in shops. Items are shown by weapon type and then in the reverse order they appear in the Equip menu, which is according to Bat.Pwr.
