Elemental Resistance

Equipped By

Found In Sunken Shrine 4F

The Opal Armor is second to none in terms of Absorb for your KNIGHT. A nice upgrade over the Ice and Flame Armors, the Opal Armor also grants resistance to Lightning, which can come in handy in the Sunken Shrine when you run into NAGAS. If you want to give your KNIGHT resistance to Fire or Cold, have him use the Ice or Flame Shield, because the Opal Armor is a bigger upgrade than the Opal Shield.

Opal Shield

Absorb 16

Type Shield

Evade Penalty -

Value 7,500 G

Elemental Resistance

Equipped By

Found In Floating Castle 2F, Sunken Shrine 5F

The Opal Shield, like the Opal Armor, offers resistance to Lightning. Like the rest of the Opal equipment, though, it is only usable by KNIGHTS, meaning NINJAS can't gain Lightning resistance without a Ribbon. The Opal Shield is a 4 Absorb upgrade over the Flame and Ice Shields, but you may still want to use them to gain resistance to Fire or Cold in certain Areas.

Opal Helmet

Absorb 8

Type Helmet

Evade Penalty −3%

Value 5,000 G

Equipped By

Found In Sunken Shrine 5F

Unlike the Opal Armor and Shield, the Opal Helmet offers no elemental resistance, but it is a slight upgrade from the Silver Helmet for your KNIGHT. No Helmet in the game offers more Absorb.

Opal Gauntlet

Absorb 8

Type Gloves

Evade Penalty −3%

Value 10,000 G

Equipped By

Found In Floating Castle 2F, Sunken Shrine 5F

The Opal Gauntlet offers the same Absorb as the ProRing, but without resistance to Death, and with two more points of Evade penalty. You can give them to your KNIGHT to save money, but in the long run you are better off using a ProRing. The only other Gauntlet you may want anyone to wear is the Zeus Gauntlet, for its LIT2 power, though it has 2 less Absorb.

Opal Bracelet

Absorb 34

Type Armor

Evade Penalty −1%

Value 32,500 G

Equipped By

Found In Sunken Shrine 5F

The Opal Bracelet has the best Absorb available on body Armor for every Class except the KNIGHT and NINJA, but unfortunately there's only one in the game. Usually you will want to give it to either your second-slot character (if he is not a NINJA) or your healer, to keep them alive. At 10 Absorb more than the Gold Bracelet or Black or White Robes, the Opal Bracelet is a powerful piece of Armor.

The Diamond Armor is second to none in terms of Defense for your Knight. A nice upgrade over the Ice Armor and Flame Mail, the Diamond Armor also grants resistance against Lightning, which can come in handy in the Sunken Shrine when you run into Water Nagas. If you want to give your Knight resistance to Fire or Ice, have him use the Ice or Flame Shield, because the Diamond Armor is a bigger upgrade than the Diamond Shield.

As heavy Armor, the Diamond Armor is somewhat underwhelming. Offering only 3 more defense than the Black Garb at the cost of as much as 57 points of evasion, it's really hard to justify using it in favor of that Armor. The Lightning defense is occasionally useful, but there are other ways to get it.
