1. Why do this? ~Intro-lite & carb free!~
Hi everyone, and welcome to my item guide. In my first time playing
through this wonderful game, (I’ve done about 3 runs) I came across items
that I had no idea what to do with. So, I forced myself to go look at the
FAQ’s, to find out what the hell was going on. And so, I finally got around
to creating a FAQ.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Introduction
~Blah Blah Blah~
Ok then, now that we are entertained we can get into the actual FAQ.
This is my first FAQ, so it isn’t going to be very pretty.
Moving on, I am going to cover as best I can regular items,
armor, weapons and special items. Compiling all this stuff is hard,
and I’m sure I’ll miss some things. Scratch that, a LOT of things,
so feel free to e-mail me and correct me, so I can praise your name
and thank you. I don’t speak (or read for that matter)
a lick of Japanese, so this guide is based on English Patch. There are some
minor spoilers, so ye be warned. Nuff small talk, lets get rocking!
--------------------------------------------------------------------

9.Thanks, Lessons & contacts
I want to thank myself for having nothing to do for two days,
My friend Will for letting me borrow DW1 & DW2,
thusly getting me hooked. I want to thank Woodus, the creator
of the dragon's den, www.woodus.com, for showing me that yes,
there WAS a series after DW3. I want to thank the Ramones, for
giving me a something to listen to while writing this, greatest
hits live baby! Hey ho! Let's go!I want to thank dejap for translating
this great game,so I didn't have to learn Japanese. Now only if they would
work on DQVI. ;) I learned that writing even a small Faq is tiring, and to
never ever badmouth anyone who has written a faq sometime. I learned
to save OFTEN, and not type during a electrical storm.
Ok, to reach me,
my email is
[email protected].
Peace out.
