The Flame Mail offers the same Defense as the Knight's Armor, but with significantly less of an Evasion penalty, and a bonus resistance to Ice (though the Flame Shield already grants the same resistance). This and the Ice Armor are the best body pieces Ninjas can wear. Try giving non-matching elemental armor and shields to your Ninja to maximize his elemental resistances.

The Flame Sword is not nearly as powerful, statistically, as the Ice Brand found in Mt. Gulg, but far more enemies are vulnerable to it. It is powerful against Undead and Regenerating creatures in addition to those weak against Fire, but since most creatures of those types are already weak against Fire, this rarely comes up. However, plenty of creatures in general are weak against Fire, making the Flame Sword a powerful and useful weapon.
The Flame Shield is a nice upgrade over the Silver Shield, providing an additional 4 Absorb as well as resistance to Cold. This resistance won't help within Gurgu Volcano where the shield is found (though it grants no weakness to Fire), but can help against the FrWOLVES and Frost Ds in the Ice Cave. After the class upgrade, the Flame Shield and Ice Shield are the best shields that can be used by your NINJA.
