===============
IMPROVING METAL
===============
The are basically seven different types of metal in Vagrant Story. They
are wood, leather, bronze, Iron, Hagane, Silver and Dacasmus. Some of
the equipments that you get from enemy are already make of some enemies.
Only Dacasmus equipment is very difficult to obtain from enemies. The
type of metal that the piece of equipment is made from determines its
STR and every aspect. For example, a Hagane breastplate will be FAR more
powerful than a bronze breastplate. Wood equipment is that kind of
equipment that you can get easily early in the game. As you proceed, you
will start getting equipments made from better metals.
Note that you can get new material if you combine two different type of
metal equipment. Note that no matter how many time you combine an
equipment, it will only become a better material and not a lousier
material. For instance, EVEN if you combine a Hagane equipment with a
bronze equipment, you will still get a Hagane equipment.
How to get Hagane equipment
Combining Bronze and Iron equipment will gives you a Hagane Equipment.
Sounds easy? Oh yes... It is really easy to get a Hagane equipment early
in the game because Bronze and iron equipment are common items that you
can get from enemies. Anyway aim to get at least a Hagane equipment for
all the body parts.
How to get Silver equipment
Combining Hagane and bronze equipment will give you a Silver equipment.
However this doesn't seems too easy. It is not a 100% chance that you
will get a silver equipment even if you correctly combine a Hagane and a
Silver equipment. In order to get a silver equipment, put the bronze
equipment on the first combinant and the Hagane equipment on the second
combinant. Silver equipment is the most powerful equipment in the game
because Dacasmus equipment is too hard to get. Try to get every one of
your Equipment to silver if you want to beat the game fast and easy.
How to get Dacasmus equipment
Combining Silver and Hagane equipment will give you a Dacasmus
equipment!!! WOW!!! However don't be too happy. It is VERY difficult to
get so be happy even if you have only one Dacasmus equipment. But if you
replay the game, you will get Dacasmus equipment really easily. Note
that Dacasmus is the STRONGEST metal in vagrant world. However I have
not been able to confirm the exact way to combine a Silver and Hagane
equipment to get a Dacasmus equipment but I am figuring it out.
Soon I will put it here...
ii)
================================
CREATING MORE POWERFUL EQUIPMENT
================================
Vagrant story involves a lot of time spent on combining or else you will
find that a tiny bat flying around can also kill you by sucking you dry.
There's no way to complete this game if you stick with the first or
second weapon in that weapon class unless you choose to run pass all the
enemies. However even if you do so, you will still not get pass those
Bosses. The bosses in vagrant story are rather hard to defeat because of
their high offense and your low HP and MP. Therefore it is VERY
important to get new and more powerful equipment as you proceed through
the game. Please refer to the <Combining table> for the full Combination
list of every piece of equipment.
iii)
============================
COMBINING TWO SAME EQUIPMENT
============================
Don't think that combining two similar equipment will not give you a
better one but in vagrant story, you can ONLY get the best equipment by
combining various similar equipment. For example: If you combine two
Hoplite armour, you will get a Jazeraint armour and if you combine two
Jazeraint armour, you will get the BEST armour, the Dread Armour. The
bad point is that Dread equipments are difficult to get.
iv)
===================================
COMBINING EQUIPMENT FROM SAME GROUP
===================================
What I mean is combining equipment from same armour, weapon or shield
class. Combining one equipment with high DP or STR...etc with an
equipment with low DP or STR...etc will give you an equipment at the
average DP and STR...etc.
v)
===================
UPGRADING EQUIPMENT
===================
It is best to stick with the equipment that you get when you start the
game. Just keep combining them with new equipment that you get while
progressing further into the game because you will keep the affinity and
stats if you do so. No matter what your equipment is make of, it doesn't
matter much. As you progress, even a lousy wooden shield would become a
mighty dascamus shield. I found out that a 'seasoned' silver shield
could even be stronger than a Dascamus shield because of its bonus
affinity.
vi)
========================================
COMBINING EQUIPMENT FROM DIFFERENT GROUP
========================================
Basically this is the least useful method of combining. The final
product will be very disappointing. Even mixing two strong weapons, you
will most slightly end up with a weaker weapon. HOWEVER, there are some
rare cases. There was once that when I combine a stinger with another
weapon, I get a sabre mace which is stronger than both of them. (I
cannot remember what is that weapon but I think it is a goblin club)
Combining weapons from different group will most slightly give you a
sword or a dagger which is really useful. Daggers are the most difficult
to get in Vagrant world so it might be useful to sacrify some of the
weapons to forge a useful dagger.
vii)
================
AFFINITY CHANGES
================
Affinity changes as you combine two equipment together. The affinity of
the new weapon will be the average of the affinity of the two weapons
that you combined. Therefore it is important that you pay attention to
the affinity point of the final product before confirming to forge that
weapon. Note that affinity actually affect the offense of that weapon,
so please do not think that forging a damaging weapon is the best.

*You need many Breastplates to get Dread Armour during the mid game.
However if you decided to get the Dread Armour only during the end of
this game, then you will not need any Breastplate because you can get
Brigandine, Platemail...etc from many enemy. I highly suggest that you
get at least a Hoplite Armour when you are half way through the game.
SECTION 2
++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++
||W||E||A||P||O||N||S||
++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++
i)
DAGGERS:
Daggers are powerful weapons due to its speed. Dagger is a strong class
of weapon at the beginning of the game. It is stronger that the sword
class until mid-game when the swords are actually far more powerful than
daggers in term of STR and INT. Daggers are easy to chain so it RULES in
battle. Daggers are weak in the beginning but as you continue to
upgrade, the strongest dagger has high STR and everything. However,
Daggers are only suitable in fighting Phantom or undead so do not use
them to fight other classes of monsters. The setback is that daggers
have incredibly short range so you will have to chase all those "chicky"
undeads and phantoms if they keep running from you. When paired with a
shield, magic casted by most phantoms can be reduced while you get into
attack range. My record for daggers is 40 chains.
ii)
SWORDS
Swords are human killing weapon group. It is the most suitable weapon to
use if you want to slice the knights into pieces. Its relatively high
STR and INT made it a damaging weapon even against any other creature
classes. When use together with a shield, Ashley can be both very
offensive and defensive. The Fandango that you get in the beginning of
the game is a good sword to begin with since there is a human dummy that
can be found early in the game and you would have used the fandango to
train your chaining skill on the dummy. As you proceed, be sure to
upgrade the Fandango into stronger sword and not throwing it away. Even
though it is not easy to get new sword to upgrade swords, but if you are
patience and slice the same enemies over and over, you will eventually
get those powerful sword that those knights wield. There are various
grips for swords which can hold three gems, making it to be one of the
strongest weapon classes. Sword is a very easy weapon to chain as it is
easy to time. My record for swords is 36 chains.
iii)
AXES
There are some strong break arts for this weapon class that can really
break the bones of any creature. This is another damaging one-handed
weapon class. Its STR can be higher than swords, making it possible to
kill some enemies in ONE hit. When paired with powerful shield like kite
shield and etc, You will discover that most enemies will run from you.
Axes have average range and if you practice enough, chaining with an Axe
can be easy. For my case, I did not use Axes often, so I am not that
good in chaining with it. My record for Axes is only 12 chains.
iv)
MACES
You can get some strong mace in the mid game from some human. Most human
in the mid game wields a Mace. Maces are common from mid game onwards.
So it is actually not a very good weapon class to use because I do not
recommend that you throw your well-trained weapon away and start using
Maces from the mid game onwards. Maces are good only when your other
weapons are all on low DP and they deal little damage. However combining
maces with other weapon classes can give you a strong weapon. My record
for Maces is 13 chains.
v)
STAVES
Staves are really low damaging weapons for intense battle so it is
suitable for battle against phantom since they are "Professional" magic
caster. No matter what weapon class you are using, the damage deal due
to magic will still be same. However staves got magic casting bonuses.
Staves' high INT provides both magic defense and offense. When gems that
raise INT are attached to it and Ashley is using a high INT shield with
INT raising gems attached to it, Ashley can also be a "Professional"
Mage. Phantoms are only good in CASTING magic and have a good defense
only for a certain type of element (Fire, Air, Earth, Dark...etc)
However Ashley can be an offensive and defensive mage so Ashley stands a
very high chance of defeating phantoms if he uses staves. BUT DO NOT
ever use staff against any other monster classes, you will stand little
chances of defeating them. Staves are difficult to chain. You need to be
very fast in order to chain. My record for staves is 15 chains.
vi)
GREAT SWORDS
WOW!!! you'll be surprise that how much damage this weapon class can do.
A few strikes will send those idiotic lizard man and any creature that
is in the dragon class flying to the Hell. Great Swords are two-handed
which mean that is a penalty of the loss of a shield. However, when you
have long range and HIGH OFFENSE, you will not need a shield.
The most efficient way to use a great sword is to get in range to attack
an enemy and stick to THAT spot while attacking him with high offense.
KILL the enemies FIRST so that they cannot hurt you much even though you
don't have a shield. When using great swords, be sure to equip with
reduce damage defense ability so that if the enemy attacks you, you can
reduce the damage dealt on you. Great swords are surprisingly effective
against dragon class and are easy to chain. My record is 25 chains.
vii)
GREAT AXES
Great axes are similar to great swords but it is a less AGL weapon
class. If you are considering using great axes to kill dragon classes,
please drop the idea because great swords are really better to slay
dragons. Great Axes however can be used against the beast class since
most of the beasts have high speed. It is rather difficult to catch up
with a beast if it runs away from you. Great axes have long range, so
you can easily kill of those blood sucking bats. Since quite a number of
beasts dealt little damage, the shield penalty doesn't hurt much. Use
the "Kill the enemy first" technique for best result. Great axes are not
that easy to chain. My record for great axes is 16 chains.
viii)
HEAVY MACES
Heavy maces are basically same with Great swords and axes. All the heavy
maces in the game do as much damage as Great swords and axes unless you
have the Minotaur's club which deal rather high damage and has an
incredibly long range. Note that the destroyer and Griever are more
damaging than the Minotaur's club. I suggest that you use heavy maces
against the beast class. Use the same old "Kill the enemy first"
technique when you are using this weapon class. My record for heavy
maces is 12 chains.
ix)
POLEARMS
Polearms have INCREDIBLE range. The "kill the enemy first" technique
works the best for this weapon class. Its long range allows Ashley to
kills off any enemy blocking his path. Ashley can often kills off any
enemy before they get near him. The loss of shield is ABSOLUTELY nothing
for this weapon class. Polearms rules!!! However, I do not recommend
polearms against any creature class. It is suitable for slicing any kind
so take one with you for backup if your weapon is low on DP. The Rust
Nail that you can get early in the game is a good polearm for you to
combine with new polearms into stronger polearms. Polearms are difficult
to chain. My record was only 10 chains (HAHA).
x)
CROSSBOWS
Crossbows are projectile weapons that can be very powerful due to its
EXTREMELY long range despite its weak offense. Crossbows are strong
against evil so get a crossbow and use it against the evil. Its long
range can prevent the enemy from hitting Ashley with physical attacks
since most evil creatures dealt relatively high damage. Crossbows are
easy to get and combine. The "Kill the enemy first" technique is
possible if you keep a distance from the enemy so that even if you deal
lesser damage, the enemy cannot hurt you. Another technique is that you
can use crossbows to deal status aliment on the enemy (silence,
paralyze, numbness, curse and poison) then move in with a melee weapon
to finish them off. Crossbows are VERY VERY easy to chain. Furthermore,
due to its weaker offense, more chains can be done before the enemy
dies. My record for crossbows is 42 chains.
xi)
UNARMED
HAHA...!!! It is definitely nice to see Ashley fighting with BARE hands,
the most with a shield on the left land against a carnivous Beast or
Dragon. Fighting Unarmed is a risk because of the REALLY short range.
However it has no creature class affinity so it is as powerful against
any creature. It is as easy or as difficult to chain as the staves. Its
break arts are quite powerful. My record is 11 chains.
SECTION 3
++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++
||A||R||M||O||U||R||S||
++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++
i)
BODY ARMOURS:
Body Armour is the MOST important armour. It affect the overall defense
of Ashley although it seems that it only protect the "body" part of
Ashley. Just because it is so important, it is the hardest Armour to
combine. It is difficult to find new and more powerful armour to combine
to get a stronger one. Therefore I suggest that you try your best to get
a strong armour.
ii)
HAND ARMOURS:
Hand Armours are armours that protect the left and right hand. A total
of two hand armours is needed to protect the right and the left land.
Note that Right hand is VERY important than left hand because EVERY
enemy attacks the right hand. Your attack will -50% if your right hand
is greatly weakened and becomes red in colour. Therefore always put the
more powerful glove on your right hand and the less powerful glove on
the left hand.
iii)
LEG ARMOURS:
Leg armours are not so important than hand armours because enemies
seldom attack your legs. However DO put in effort in combining a strong
leg armour too. IF your legs happen to get red in colour, your movement
will -50% causing you to be vulnerable to attacks.
iv)
HEAD ARMOURS:
Head Armours are the LEAST important armours. Enemies hardly attack the
head. But some rare cases happen, sometime it is because you are
standing on a low area and the enemy is standing on a ledge and he can
only attack your head. Therefore do not ignore your head armour, just
combine one if you get new helmets.
SECTION 4

||S||H||I||E||L||D||S||
++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++
i)
SHIELDS:
Shields are an important equipment that you should spend time to
strengthen it. It protects the WHOLE body of Ashley. It is responsible
for all those "misses" that occurs when enemy attacks you. Shields are
relatively easy to combine. You will get new shields easily from enemies
as you proceed further into the game.
