Dragon Warrior III/Armors

Most equipment can be bought, but some can only be found or dropped by enemies. Some equipment can cast spells (at no MP cost) by using it as an item in battle. This item use is limited: usually only classes that can equip an item can use it from the item menu (with some exceptions like the Staff of Thunder and Shield of Strength). Cursed items have a negative impact on your party and cannot be removed except by visiting a healer in town or using the Curse Off spell.

• Item locations in blue refer to a chest.
• Item locations in red refer to a monster dropping it.

Class abbreviations

• Hr = Hero
• Sr = Soldier/Warrior
• Mr = Merchant/Dealer
• Gf = Goof-off/Jester
• Pg = Pilgrim/Cleric
• Sa = Sage
• Wz = Wizard/Mage
• Fi = Fighter

All equipment parts can be sold for 75% of their original price (rounded down). Therefore, if an item cannot be purchased, its selling price divided by 0,75 is listed, instead.

Can be used as an item by ANY class

Weapons

Weapons, especially for the Hero and Soldiers are the most important piece of equipment, and if you have to choose between upgrading their weapon or their armor, get the best weapon possible. As soon as you get a ship, go and buy Zombie Slashers for your Pilgrims and Sages. Weapons are a low priority for all other classes, and most weapons will actually decrease a Fighter's attack.

"Item" means "use from the item menu".

Armor

Armor offers stronger protection than shields or helmets, but at a higher price. No armor can be used as an item, but some pieces offer protection against certain types of attacks automatically (if they're worn, anyway).

Shields

Shields provide a fair amount of protection at a reasonable cost, especially for Pilgrims and Sages, who cannot use the strongest armor. On the other hand, Wizards and Fighters cannot use shields.

Helmets

Like Shields, Helmets provide effective defense at a relatively low cost. Unlike the other three types of equipment, there is no special piece for the Hero. While the Iron Helmet has a list price of 2000 gold, it is only available from one of the dealers in Assaram who charges 16000 to start, so it costs 2000 gold after four haggling sequences.
