Sold In Crescent Lake, ElfLand (4,000 G)

When you reach ElfLand, the Silver Sword is far and away the best Weapon available for your FIGHTER or RedMAGE. So much so, in fact, that you won't find or be able to buy anything better until you reach Crescent Lake (incidentally, the other town that sells this sword). This Weapon isn't really needed in the Marsh Cave, but it will help immensely against ASTOS (assuming the wielder survives to use it).

Silver Dagger Silver Hammer

Silver Dagger

Sprite

Damage 10

Crit 8%

Hit +15%

Value 400 G

Equipped By

Sold In Crescent Lake (800 G)

Found In Castle Coneria, Dwarf Cave, Marsh Cave B3

Once you get the mystic KEY, you'll inexplicably be rewarded with not one but three Silver Daggers. It's a good Weapon for your Bl.MAGE, but no other Class. If you just want one to equip, the easiest to get is in Castle Coneria. The other two can be sold for a quick 400 G each.

Silver Hammer

Sprite

Damage 12

Crit 9%

Hit +5%

Val. 1,250 G

Equipped By

Sold In Crescent Lake (2,500 G)

Found In Castle of Elf

The Silver Hammer is a long-overdue Weapon upgrade for your Wh.MAGE. It isn't a huge step up from the Iron Hammer sold in Coneria, but it does add 5 Hit Rate that is sorely needed. It is most easily found in the Castle of Elf after receiving the mystic KEY. You can buy more in Crescent Lake, but unless you have multiple Wh.MAGES, it is unlikely that you will want to.

Silver Axe

Sprite

Damage 25

Crit 10%

Hit +10%

Val. 2,250 G

Equipped By

Sold In Crescent Lake (4,500 G)

Found In Gurgu Volcano B2

Like other axes, the Silver Axe gives up Hit Rate in favor of Damage, though by the time you find one in Gurgu Volcano, your FIGHTER may be level 16, at which point he is not giving up any hits using it. Whether to use it in favor of the Silver Sword is up to you. In any case it is probably not worth buying one of these in Crescent Lake unless you have multiple FIGHTERS.

Silver Armor

Absorb 18

Type Armor

Evade Penalty −8%

Value 3,750 G

Equipped By

Sold In Crescent Lake (7,500 G)

Found In Dwarf Cave

Silver Armor is a nice piece with very low Evade penalty for its Absorb. It's not strong enough to be useful for a FIGHTER, but any RedMAGE will be happy for the upgrade. You can find a suit in the Dwarf Cave Treasure vault long before you reach Crescent Lake where it is sold. It is quite valuable if you decide to sell it.

Silver Shield

Absorb 8

Type Shield

Evade Penalty -

Value 1,250 G

Equipped By

Sold In Crescent Lake (2,500 G)

Found In Earth Cave B4, Gurgu Volcano B2

The Silver Shield is another solid upgrade that you can find before you're likely to buy one. It yields 4 extra Absorb with no additional penalty to Evade compared to the Iron Shield.

Silver Helmet

Absorb 6

Type Helmet

Evade Penalty −3%

Value 1,250 G

Equipped By

Sold In Crescent Lake (2,500 G)

Found In Floating Castle 2F, Gurgu Volcano B2, Titan's Tunnel

You will find a number of Silver Helmets throughout the game, but since only FIGHTERS (and NINJAS) can use them, you probably won't need too many. Fortunately they sell for a decent price. As Helmets go, they make a nice upgrade over the Iron Helmet, and should be equipped as soon as possible.

Silver Gauntlet

Absorb 6

Type Gloves

Evade Penalty −3%

Value 1,250 G

Equipped By

Sold In Crescent Lake (2,500 G)

Found In Gurgu Volcano B2, Ice Cave B3

The Silver Gauntlet is a nice upgrade for your FIGHTER, improving both Absorb and Evade compared to the Iron Gauntlet. You can save some money once you reach Crescent Lake by waiting until you find one in Gurgu Volcano.

Sold In Crescent Lake, Elfheim

Equipped By

When you reach Elfheim, the Mythril Sword is far and away the best Weapon available for your Warrior or Red Mage. So much so, in fact, that you won't find or be able to buy anything better until you reach Crescent Lake (incidentally, the other town that sells this sword). If you want the best raw power possible, save up and buy this Weapon. However, consider just pretending it's not even sold in Elfheim. (It isn't, in future versions of the game.) There are a lot of interesting Weapons that just get tossed by the wayside if you have a Mythril Sword, and the game is a little bit more challenging if you ignore it.

Of course, once you reach Crescent Lake, it is well worth investing in this sword, even if you will find better Weapons soon enough in Mt. Gulg and the Ice Cavern.

Found In Kashuan Keep Treasure Rooms

The Mythril Sword can be found in Kashuan Keep, but if you can afford it, you may want to buy one as soon as it becomes available, since it's a fairly powerful weapon. Because the next few swords you find are low-accuracy gimmick swords, the Mythril Sword remains your trusty and dependable weapon for some time. As a result, though, you may want to train your sword-wielder in a different weapon during that period.
