For my party of 1.Lord,
2.Samurai
3.Faerie Ninja
4.Monk
5.Bard and
6.Bishop
I chose the following special items -
1.Excaliber (more powerful than Avenger and has regenerate +1)
2.Muramasa Blade
3.Faerie Cap (regeneration again and Rod of Sprites better than Bushido Blade)
4.Zatoichi Bo
5.Cat o' Nine Tails
6.Holy Basher (or Diamond Eyes)
Just as important is the non-special items you can take with you in unlimited quantities. You don't want to be running around Lost Guardia bare-bottomed, do you? I found I could bring the following equiment in addition to the special items above.
1.Helm and Coif, Full Plate(Upper and Lower), Copper Gloves,
Solleret, Ring of Stars (Also Bec de Corbin or Heater Shield
if you are bringing Avenger instead of Excaliber)
2.Studded Hawberk, Studded Legging, Kabuto, Cuir Gauntlets,
Buskins, Wakazashi, Cameo Locket
3.Rod of Sprites (x2), Sai (for variety), Ninja Garb, shuriken
4.Robes and Sandals (He has taken a vow of poverty, after all)
5.Studded Hawberk, Leather Legging, Leather Boots, Buckler shield
Chamois Gloves, Diamond Ring
6.Quilt Legging, Quilt Tunic, Chamois Gloves, Buskins, mitre, and
LOTS of potions - Hv Stamina, Hv Heal, Cure Poison, Cure
Paralysis, Cure Lesser Cnd., Cure Stone, Resurrection. (I sell
the last 2 in New City for mucho $)
You can also transfer the Ankh of Life in unlimited quantites.
This way, I come in fully equipped and not running around looking
for something to cover my buns.
