Ninjas do not know how to use shields, that means they have lower defense than Paladins and Dragoons, but they can equip a weapon in each hand. Use By: *Edge* Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kunai| 25| 90%| *D* | Edge start with | | | | it purchased for | | | | 4,000 gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashura| 32| 90%| *D* | Purchased for 7,000 | | | | gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kotetsu| 40| 90%| *D* | Purchase for 11,000 | | | | gil found in Passage | | | | to Babil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kikuichi| 49| 95%| *D* | Found in Sealed Cave ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Murasame| 56| 95%| *D* | After the Defeat of | | | | Wh.

Use By: *Cecil*, Rydia, *Cain* or *Edge* Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mithril| 20| 99%| *D* Effective against | Purchase for 3000 | | | undead | gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dancing| 28| 44%| *D* Random status effect? | Purchase for 5000 | | | | gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assassin| 30| 95%| *D* Random effect of | Found in Underworld | | | Wounded with each | | | | successful hit | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- MageMach| 35| 77%| *D* Random effect of | Found in Underworld | | | Silence with each | | | | successful hit | Holy Sword _ /________________________\ _ (_)////|________________________|////(_) \ / Use By: *Cecil* Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Legend| 40| 99%| Becomes Excalbur | Cecil get it | | | | when he become a | | | | Paladin ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Light| 99| 99%| Works well against undead | Found in Sealed Cave | | | *D* | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Excalbur| 162|100%| Works well against undead | Trade Adamant and | | | *D* | Legend for it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ragnarok| 233|110%| D+7 Strongest Weapon, | Defeating Dk. | | | powerful against all | Bahamut in the | | | | Moon's Core Spear _ /________________________\ _ (_)////|________________________|////(_) \ / The unique thing about spears is when the Cain jumps the attack power is doubled. Also when you JUMP you will always score a hit. Use By: *Cain* Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Spear| 9| 75%| | Cain start with it, | | | | purchased for 60 gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Wind| 55| 80%| Wind element spear, Strong | Cain come back | | | versus flying opponents | with it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Flame| 66| 80%| Has the effect of Fire2 | Purchased for 11,000 | | | with each successful hit | gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Blizzard| 77| 80%| Has the effect of Blizd2 | Purchased for 21,000 | | | with each successful hit | gil, Found in Tower | | | | of Babil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Blood| 85| 40%| Drain enemy hp to user | Found in Castle of | | | Defenss - 5 | Eblana ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Gungnir| 92| 75%| Defenss + 7 *D* | Cain come back | | | | again, with it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dragon| 99| 99%| Strong on dragons *D* | Found in Moon's Core ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Holy| 109|100%| Holy element spear strong | After the defeat of | | | against undead casts weak | Plague | | | version of Holy. Go in | | | | item and go to Holy and | | | | press A two times. It must | | | | be equip to be use. *D* | Arrows _ /________________________\ _ (_)////|________________________|////(_) \ / Well obviously you will need something to shoot with when you have a bow, and what not better weapons than Arrows. Arrows as you can expect have no hit rate percentage because you cannot use these as weapons, nor can a Bow be used without an arrow. Use By: Cecil, Rydia, or *Rosa* Note: Attack Power and Hit% Various, because of the bow. I use a Artemis bow to test the arrows Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Medusa| 29| 0%| Add "Stone" Ailment to | Found in Sylph Cave | | | enemy | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Iron| 33| 0%| | Purchase for 10 gil | | | | each ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Holy| 35| 0%| Holy element arrows | Purchase for 20 gil | | | | each ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Fire| 43| 0%| Fire element arrows | Purchase for 30 gil | | | | each ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ice| 43| 0%| Ice element arrows | Purchase for 30 gil | | | | each ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Lit| 43| 0%| Bolt element arrows | Purchase for 30 gil | | | | each ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Darkness| 48| 0%| Fill enemy with darkness | Purchase for 40 gil | | | | each ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Poison| 58| 0%| Add "Poison" Ailment to | Purchase for 70 gil | | | enemy Defenss +5 | each ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mute| 63| 0%| Add "Mute" Ailment to enemy| Purchase for 100 gil | | | | each ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Angel| 68| 0%| Causes Confusion | Purchase for 110 gil | | | | each ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Yoichi| 78| 0%| | Found in Phantom | | | | World ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Artemis | 103| 0%| The best arrows, if pair | Stolen off | | | with Artemis Bow Defenss +5| MoonGodess Bows _ /________________________\ _ (_)////|________________________|////(_) \ / Bows have low hit percentage rates and the only person who can connect with the hits a 100% of the time is Rosa by using her Aim command. Bows are not very strong in strength however, but you can raise the attack power by putting the Bow in the opposite hand that the person is normally using. For example say Rosa is right handed, that means you would put the Bow on her left hand, just think about it. Would you be able to launch a arrow with full force if the bow was on your main hand and your arrow on your opposite hand? Use By: Cecil, Rydia, or *Rosa* Note: Attack Power Various, because of the Arrows. I (zero) use a Artemis arrows to test the bows. Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bow| 63| 30%| | Purchase for 220 gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CrossBow| 68| 35%| | Purchase for 700 gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- GreatBow| 73| 40%| | Purchase for 2000 | | | | gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Killer| 82| 55%| | Purchase for 3000 | | | | gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ElvenBow| 86| 60%| | Found in the Cave of | | | | Sylphs in Underworld ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Yoichi| 78| 70%| | Found in Sealed Cave | | | | in the Underworld ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Artemis| 103| 88%| The best bow, if pair | Dropped by | | | with Artemis Arrows Defenss| MoonGodess | | | +5 | Whip _ /________________________\ _ (_)////|________________________|////(_) \ / Whips are very long in length and therefor they still have the same attack power in the back row than in the front row. So whoever is equipped with a Whip, mainly Rydia then keep her in the back row. All whips have the ability to paralyze your opponent. Use By: *Rydia* Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Whip| 20| 95%| | Rydia start with | | | | it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Chain| 30| 80%| | Purchase for 6000 | | | | gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Electric| 40| 85%| Bolt element whip | Purchase for 10,000 | | | | gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FireBute| 51| 90%| Fire element whip | Found in Moon Core ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dragon| 56| 95%| Stronger if use on dragons | Dropped by Blue | | | | Dragon Axe _ /________________________\ _ (_)////|________________________|////(_) \ / Axes are very powerful early on, but they tend to weigh alot and that means the character who is equipped with the axe will have trouble connecting most of the time. Use By: *Cecil* Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- HandAxe| 35| 65%| | Found in Valvalicia | | | | Tower ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dwarf| 63| 70%| | Purchase at Dwarf | | | | Castle for 15000 | | | | gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OgreKillr| 80| 70%| Very effective against | Found in Tower Of | | | Giants | Babil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Poison| 95| 75%| Add "Poison" Ailment to | Found in Cave To | | | enemy | Phantom World ----------------------------------------------------------------------- RuneAxe| 100| 65%| | Droped by | | | | DemonSoldr? Bomrang _ /________________________\ _ (_)////|________________________|////(_) \ / Use By: *Edge* Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bomrang| 20| 75%| | Purchase for 3000 gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Engetsu| 40| 90%| | Found in Sylph Cave Dart Weapon _ /________________________\ _ (_)////|________________________|////(_) \ / Darts can only be used by Edge in his Dart command. Some of the weapons in the game are rather weak, but when used as a Dart they can become twice as powerful. However once you throw that item you cannot bring it back again. Not just Boomerrangs or Stars can be used as Darts but Swords, Dagers, Ninja Sowards, and Spears can be used as well. Also take note that the Attack power of the other weapons changes. For example an Avsword has a 105 attack power rating, but when throw the attack power can be 106 or higher. Dart By: *Edge* Note: You can not equip the dart weapon. The way I got the attack power for the Shuriken and HellWind was that I use Game Genie Codes. Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Shuriken| 40| 99%| *D* | Purchase for 20000 | | | | gil each ----------------------------------------------------------------------- HellWind| 83| 99%| *D* | Purchase for 50000 | | | | gil each ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Cleaver| none|100%| Strongest Dart Weapon | Get it from | | | | Yang's wife Staff _ /________________________\ _ (_)////|________________________|////(_) \ / Staffs are also low in attack power as well and they also possess extremely low hit percentage rate. Staffs are mainly used with White Magic and can be used on the party to heal wounded members. Use By: *Rosa* *Rydia* (Kid) Note: The staff is use by a lot of people. Rydia can use it before she get swallowed by Leviathan. Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Staff| 4| 25%| | Purchase for 160 gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Healing| 8| 30%| Heal ally, go in item | Buy it in Town | | | and go to Healing staff | of Mysadia | | | and press A two times. It | Purchase for 480 gil | | | must be equip to be use. | | | | Effective against undead | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mithrill| 12| 35%| Effective against undead | Purchase for 4000 | | | | gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Power| 32| 44%| Random effect of Bersk with| Purchase for 2000 | | | each successful hit | gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Energy| 36| 55%| | FuSoYa starts with | | | | it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sage| 48| 65%| Use as item to cast Raise | Found in Moon Core ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Silence| 52| 70%| Add "Scilence" Ailment to | Found in Giant of | | | enemy | Babil Rod _ /________________________\ _ (_)////|________________________|////(_) \ / Rods are not very powerful overall, but they can be used as items when times of need calls for it. Also Rods have extremely low hit percentages and don't be surprised to find the person equipped with a Rod missing practically every hit. Rods, when used as items are mainly used as black magics. When you attack with Rods they can have the elementary effect of a certain element depending on which you are equipped, but when used as an item they can cast spells like Blizd2, Fire2, or Thnd2. Use By: *Rydia* Note: The Rod can be use by a lot of people. Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Rod| 3| 30%| | Purchase for 100 gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- IceRod| 5| 30%| Cast Ice, go in item | Found in Underground | | | and go to IceRod | Waterfall, or | | | and press A two times.

It | | | | must be equip to be use. | Insterment _ /________________________\ _ (_)////|________________________|////(_) \ / Although it may be a little odd, Insterment are attack weapons. Insterment have a high hit percentage rate however and they are fairly strong early on and only Gilbert can equip these Harps. Use By: *Gilbert* Note: If Gilbert equip an insterment, he can sing. (Sing isn't all that great) Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dreamer| 8| 80%| Random effect of Sleep with| Gilbert strat | | | each successful hit | with it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Lamia| 18| 85%| Random effect of Charm | Found in Antlion's | | | with each successful hit | Lair Claw _ /________________________\ _ (_)////|________________________|////(_) \ / Claw induce negative status effects towards varying opponents, however that negative status effect will not always come out even though the opponent is weak against it. Use By: *Yang* Note: Only Yang can equip claws, even with Game Genie Codes. If someone else equip any claw, with Game Genie Codes. The attack power will be 0 or 1! Name |Attack|Hit%| Special | Where ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FireClaw| 21| 80%| Has the effect of Fire1 | Yang start with | | | with each successful hit | it or Purchase for | | | | 350 gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- IceClaw| 21| 80%| Has the effect of Blizrd | Purchase for 450 | | | with each successful hit | gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tunder| 21| 80%| Has the effect of Thund | Purchase for 550 | | | with each successful hit | gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Fairy| 21| 60%| Random effect of Confusion | Found in Cave of | | | with each successful hit | Power ----------------------------------------------------------------------- HellClaw| 21| 90%| Random effect of Poison | Found in Valvalicia | | | with each successful hit | Tower or in Sylph | | | | Cave ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CatClaw| 23| 99%| Random effect of Sleep with| Found in Tower of | | | each successful hit | Babil or in Sylph | | | | Cave Mallet _ /________________________\ _ (_)////|________________________|////(_) \ / Mallet can only be equipped on the Cid, and they are quite powerful however and they all work effectively against machines.
