There are many valuable items available in shops throughout the world, while others 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.
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.
Not every character can wield every weapon or equip every armor. Some are made specially for just one player. Items available to be used by the Prince of Midenhall will have a M
in the table. Items which can be used by the Prince of Cannock will have a C
printed in the users column. And items that the Princess of Moonbrooke is capable of equipping will be listed with a P
.
Offense & Defense
NES item names and attributes are listed in parentheses.
