Huang IV: Legal Stuff V: Thanks ----------------------------------------------------- The latest version of this FAQ is to be found at (and ONLY at, unless you ask my permission): GameFAQs: http://www.gamefaqs.com ----------------------------------------------------- I: Updates 5/19/03: Managed another update, completing version 1.1 of FAQ. Added the Smart Shield (glitch?) to the blacksmithing list, with a rather detailed note on that particular item. 5/09/03: Completed version 1.0 of FAQ, confirming Dragon God's place on Anna's menu and adding the rest of the Blacksmithing items, including the Death Ring. Also added Huang to the list of towns, even though there's no shops there. After all, it does appear on the map. Oh yeah, and I had somehow left out the G's on Rashkuta's item list, but I corrected that. 11/22/02: Completed version 0.9 of FAQ. Added the rest of the shops and information on the Pretty Ring in the Yanmas Shop. Only need the rest of the Blacksmith items now! 11/19/02: Completed version 0.8 of FAQ. This FAQ was written as a quick reference to the numerous shops in the game: magic shops, armor/weapon shops, and item shops. I got extremely tired of constantly going into EVERY SINGLE LITTLE TOWN to buy one little item or spell, so here's a handy little reference guide for everyone. Want to know where to buy the Berserk spell? Can't find a Silver Trail armor? This guide is the perfect answer to your questions. Simply Ctrl + F to find the item or spell you need. Note that I am using Mana Sword's translation. ----------------------------------------------------- II: In the Next Update No update in the future, unless I get some new information or find any mistakes... ----------------------------------------------------- III: The Shops 1. Small Village (no shops) 2. Yanmas Armory/Item Shop -Silver Sword, 4000G -Estoc, 5000G -Knight (Armor), 1000G -Knight (Shield), 1200G -Salve 2, 200G -Remedy, 500G Armory/Item Shop (2) -Battle Axe, 1600G -Estoc, 5000G -Amen Tomb, 4600G -Knight (Armor), 1000G -Knight (Shield), 1200G -Tpotion3, 1200G -Pretty Ring, 10G (*) *-The Pretty Ring appears in this shop if you sell the Royal Ring in any shop. You can buy as many Pretty Rings as you want, but only one will turn into the Royal Ring. For example: Buy 2 Pretty Rings and you'll get the Royal Ring and 1 Pretty Ring in your inventory. Buy 3 Pretty Rings and you'll get the Royal Ring and 2 Pretty Rings in your inventory. If you sell the Royal Ring again, you MUST BUY another Pretty Ring, as the Pretty Rings already in your inventory do NOT turn into Royal Rings. Note that this is an infinite money trick. Sell Royal Ring for 2500G, buy for 10G, sell again, etc. This is a VERY fast way to buy the strongest Moon and Sun spells from Xuan. It's also a VERY BIG cheat! 3.

Leather, 8000G + Hidora -White Silver, 6000G + Silver Trail -Smart, 240G + Dragon Scale (Sword) (*) -Dragon Scale, 9999G + Drgn Scales -Fort, 9999G *-This is a glitch, I believe. The Smart shield only appears if you are playing as Mikhail and have ordered the blacksmiths while on your throne to make the Dragon Scale equipment. This is the same Smart shield sold in normal shops, like Rashkuta. It'd be incredibly stupid to trade one of your powerful and rare Dragon Scale swords to get this rather junk, easily found shield. I believe that this is SUPPOSED to have been where the Dragon Scale shield was supposed to appear, but honestly have no idea why this is messed up like this. Do NOT buy this! Another Dragonscale Sword or Armor is much more worth your money, especially when considering the very limited number of Drgn Scales (3 in the entire game). 20.
