Foreword ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] Welcome to my first game FAQ! The purpose of this guide is to help readers with forging & finding rare and special items. The two mechanics – finding & forging - are closely intertwined, as knowing which places to station your most intelligent officers (INT 70+) will go a long way towards expediting the retrieval of materials used to forge. (For a comprehensive list of items received for fighting in Legendra's 13 caverns, please see my “Cave Raiding Guide” - also on GameFAQs!) Currently, this is the most complete list of forged items on the web that I am aware of. As of this moment, I truly believe I have made every possible item, but I strongly urge you to continue experimenting on your own, as I will continue to, in hopes that some other deeply-buried secrets await our discovery. If nothing else, there may be other alternate methods for making certain items, in addition to the ones listed within. =========================================================== *Protip* Quickly & easily verify if 3 items can be combined by following this formula: 1. note how many weeks your advisor says research will require, and cancel the operation when asked to begin. 2. try the exact same combination 2-4 more times, canceling each time. If the number of weeks wasn't the same for all tries, then the attempt will fail. Otherwise, congrats: you're getting something! =========================================================== Time is precious; yours is just as precious as mine. Thus, this FAQ's aim is to be direct and practical, NOT complete and comprehensive. For example: I won't waste our time showing where to find knives and bandit crests... cuz they SUCK! This is strictly about how to make the best stuff, and where to find them. No more; no less. “Hold on to your butts.” [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[||||||||||]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ ii.

If their base INT, before item boosts, is < 70, they will need to be stationed with at least one officer with a base INT of 70 in order to find anything. Huge thanks to user RPKierstan for the tip!*** The following list doesn't detail every item, or every possible location to obtain them. It does, however, reveal locations where they tend to appear frequently, regardless of the ruler the player is using. (Again: only listing the best items, and/or those that can be used to forge.) It may help to station several high-INT officers in the same castle if you want a specific item, as each may find something on the same turn. To quickly amass a stockpile of astea statues, for instance, leave several high-INT generals in castles like Shuujiu, Kale, and Alta.

The addition of a smithy mechanic brings a fresh element into the old Dragon Force formula, and its unfortunate that it has yet to be elaborated on in another sequel. Unless I should stumble upon something new or noteworthy, this guide can be considered complete as-is. Accuracy is important; notifying me of any typos spotted in the FAQ would be much appreciated. I'm also open to suggestions, comments, cookies, and criticisms. (Cookies especially.)
