Mythril Sword

Sword made of mythril silver.

Damage 23

Crit 9%

Hit +15%

Price 4,000 gil (3,200 gil on Easy)

Value 2,000 gil (1,600 gil on Easy)

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.

Mythril Knife

Damage 10

Crit 8%

Hit +15%

Price 800 gil (640 gil on Easy)

Value 400 gil (320 gil on Easy)

Sold In Crescent Lake

Found In Castle Cornelia, Marsh Cave B3, Mt. Duergar

Equipped By

Once you get the Mystic Key, you'll inexplicably be rewarded with not one but three Mythril Knives. It's a good Weapon for your Black Mage, but no one else—I wonder if anyone was expecting a party with three Black Mages? If you just want one to equip, the easiest to get is in Castle Cornelia. The other two can be sold for a quick 400 gil each.

Mythril Hammer

Hammer made of mythril silver.

Damage 12

Crit 9%

Hit +5%

Price 2,500 gil (2,000 gil on Easy)

Value 1,250 gil (1,000 gil on Easy)

Sold In Crescent Lake

Found In Elven Castle

Equipped By

The Mythril Hammer is a long-overdue Weapon upgrade for your White Mage. It isn't a huge step up from the normal Hammer sold in Cornelia, but it does add 5 Accuracy that is sorely needed. It is most easily found in the Elven Castle after receiving the Mystic Key. You can buy more in Crescent Lake, but unless you have multiple White Mages, it is unlikely that you will want to.

Mythril Axe

Axe made of mythril silver.

Damage 25

Crit 10%

Hit +10%

Price 4,500 gil (3,600 gil on Easy)

Value 2,250 gil (1,800 gil on Easy)

Sold In Crescent Lake

Found In Mt. Gulg B2

Equipped By

Like other axes, the Mythril Axe gives up Accuracy in favor of Attack, though by the time you find one in Mt. Gulg, your Warrior may be level 16, at which point he is not giving up any hits using it. Whether to use it in favor of the Mythril Sword is up to you. In any case it is probably not worth buying one of these in Crescent Lake unless you have multiple Warriors.

Mythril Mail

Description Gleaming armor made of mythril silver.

Type Armor

Absorb 18

Evade Penalty −8%

Price 7,500 gil (6,000 gil on Easy)

Value 3,750 gil (3,000 gil on Easy)

Sold In Crescent Lake

Found In Mt. Duergar

Equipped By

Mythril Mail is a nice piece of Armor with very low Weight for its Defense. It's not strong enough to be useful for a Warrior, but any Red Mage will be happy for the upgrade. You can find a suit in the Mt. Duergar Treasure vault long before you reach Crescent Lake where it is sold.

Mythril Shield

Description Shield made of mythril silver.

Type Shield

Absorb 8

Price 2,500 gil (2,000 gil on Easy)

Value 1,250 gil (1,000 gil on Easy)

Sold In Crescent Lake

Found In Mt. Gulg B2, Terra Cavern B4

Equipped By

The Mythril Shield is another solid upgrade that you can find before you're likely to buy one. Four extra Defense at no penalty to Evasion (compared to the Iron Shield) is nothing to scoff at.

Mythril Helm

Description Helmet made of mythril silver.

Type Helm

Absorb 6

Evade Penalty −3%

Price 2,500 gil (2,000 gil on Easy)

Value 1,250 gil (1,000 gil on Easy)

Sold In Crescent Lake

Found In Flying Fortress 2F, Mt. Gulg B2, Titan's Cave

Equipped By

You will find a number of Mythril Helms throughout the game, but since only Warriors (and Ninjas) can use them, you probably won't need too many. Fortunately they sell for a decent price. As helms go, they make a nice upgrade over the Grand Helm, and should be equipped as soon as possible.

Mythril Gloves

Description Gloves made of mythril silver.

Type Gloves

Absorb 6

Evade Penalty −3%

Price 2,500 gil (2,000 gil on Easy)

Value 1,250 gil (1,000 gil on Easy)

Sold In Crescent Lake

Found In Ice Cavern B3, Mt. Gulg B2

Equipped By

Mythril Gloves are a nice upgrade for your Warrior, improving both Defense and Evasion compared to the Steel Gloves. You can save some money once you reach Crescent Lake by waiting until you find a pair in Mt. Gulg.

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).

Sold In Altair, Paloom, Poft (1,800 G)

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.
