***********************************************************************
Hey, Eaichu250 speakin here.
I'm attemping to write a complete guide(this guide covers items) for Fire
Emblem 3, since it is on major demand, plus the fact that it is one of my
favorite games of all time.
This guide will cover everything you want to know about every item, if you
want to know the stats for Weapons, check out my weapon guide.
This guide will also cover each class, what each class can equip, use, and
general base stats.
Fire Emblem 3 is 100% Japanese. No verisons of this game were released in
the states. It's one of the best Strategy-RPG's ever made(IMHO) and that
fact alone wants me to write an FAQ for this.
I hope this FAQ will answer all the questions and such you have, if you have
any more questions, don't be afraid to nail me at -
[email protected]
Now, on with the FAQ!

2: Hoshi Orbs
- Hoshi Orbs are great things, these orbs can be found in the first book or
the second book, in the second book, you can find fragments of the Hoshi
Orbs, and in the first book you get two full Hoshi Orbs.
Now, what is so special about these items? Well, you see, these orbs can
give you MASSIVE stat gains, and give you special powers when holding them,
so I'm going to give you the information on how exactly it changes your stat
growth, how to get each piece, and lots of other stuff.
***********
Full Hoshi Orbs
***********
Star Orb -
Info:
Holding a blue Hoshi Orb can increase all of your growth rates by 30%, and
this isnt the only surprise, it also keeps you weapon durability from going
down, meaning you can hold that Miracle Sword and go on an enemy killing
spree without breaking your weapon!
Where you find it -
Book 1: It's in a chest in Chapter 15.
Book 2: Gato repairs it in Chapter 14.
Light Orb -
Info:
Light Orb nullifies the magic of the Dark Orb, and can grant you extra
critcal hit power in battle.
10% to Critcal Rate.
Where you find it -
Book 1: It's in a chest in Chapter 15.
Book 2: Gato repairs it in Chapter 14.
Life Orb -
Info:
Life Orb restores your HP completely after one turn, and it works forever,
not only this, but I believe it can give you some higher growth rates too,
but I am not sure.
Where you find it -
Book 1: Non-existant.
Book 2: The former King of Orleans(?) gives it to Marth in Chapter 18.
Earth Orb -
Info:
The Earth Orb allows you cause an attack that damages all peopleon the
screen when it is used, it lasts 5 uses.
Does around 5-12 damage, random. Gives 10% extra hit and dodge rates to
people next to the holder of the Earth Orb.
Where you find it -
Book 1: It's in a chest in Chapter 15.
Book 2: Non-existant.
Broken Earth Orb -
Info:
Allows you to steal money from an enemy sometimes when the holder attacks an
enemy. Also, it grants you 10% extra hit and dodge rates to people next to
the holder of the broken Earth Orb.
Where you find it -
Book 1: Non-existant
Book 2: A thief is holding it in Chapter 15(?)
Devil/Dark Orb -
Info:
When holding the Dark Orb, you are immune to every single attack, and cannot
be damaged unless a person holding the Light Orb attacks the wielder of the
Dark Orb.
Where you find it -
Book 1: Non-existant.
Book 2: Hardin drops it in Chapter 20 after you kill him.
- That's a cover up, I'll be covering the shattered Hoshi Orbs next.
***********
Shattered Hoshi Orbs
***********
Shattered Hoshi Orbs can ONLY be found in book two.
????? Orb -
Stat Boosts - 5% boosted Growth Rates for all your stats.
Where you find it - Chapter 3, boss/enemy is holding it.
Notes: This is a useful orb, because it gives you a small boost to all your
other stats, very useful for cancelling out negative stat boosting effects.
*******
Gemini Orb -
Stat Boosts - 30% to Strength, -10% for Weapon Skill, 20% for Defense.
Where you find it - Chapter 5, being held by an enemy/boss.
Notes: Woah, this orb raises Strength like mad, and it gives a Defense boost
too, hold this orb at all times, and put it on units that get low Strength
growth.
*******
????? Orb -
Stat Boosts - 10% to Strength, 10% to Skill, 10% to Speed, 10% to Weapon
Skill.
Where you find it - Chapter 6, General Lang is holding it.
Notes: It's not bad, it's pretty decent, and useful for cancelling out
negative stat boosting effects.
*******
Libra Orb -
Stat Boosts - -10% to HP, 40% to Speed, 10% to Luck, 10% to Weapon Skill,
-10% Magic Defense.
Where you find it - Chapter 6, inside a treasure box.
Notes: Well, if you really want a unit to get high Speed, give this orb to
them, just be warned that it harms your Magic Defense growth when holding
it. =\
*******
????? Orb -
Stat Boosts - 20% to Power, 20% to Skill, 10% to Speed, -10% Luck.
Where you find it - Chapter 7, held by a Thief.
Notes: Decent orb, luck isnt really all too useful, so this orb is pretty
good.
*******
Rheo Orb -
Stat Boosts - 50% to Power, -10% to Defense.
Where you find it - Chapter 8, held by a Thief.
Notes: Give this orb to units that need Strength, quick!
*******

Stat Boosts - -10% to HP, 40% to Skill, 10% to Speed.
Where you find it - Chapter 8, George is holding it.
Notes: It's a decent orb, nothing else to say about it, note that it gives
high Skill growth.
*******
???? Orb -
Stat Boosts - 20% to Weapon Skill, -10% to Defense, 30% to Magic Defense.
Where you find it - Chapter 9, Minerva is holding it.
Notes: This is a VERY useful orb! Because of the great Magic Defense
boosting power it has, equip it as soon as possible!
*******
???? Orb -
Stat Boosts - 20% to HP, -10% to Skill, -10% to Speed, 30% to Weapon Skill,
10% to Defense.
Where you find it - Chapter 9, inside a treasure box.
Notes: I honestly hate this Orb, it dosent give you anything TOO useful for
your stats, aside from the Defense and HP boost, but you lose Skill and
Speed by just simply holding it. Combine it with other Defense boosting orbs
for massive defense overkill.
*******
Antse Orb -
Stat Boosts: 40% to Luck.
Where you find it - Chapter 10, enemy is holding it.
Notes: Eh, if you really want your luck to max out, you should hold this orb
with you.
*******
???? Orb -
Stat Boosts: 10% to HP, 10% to Weapon Skill, 10% to Defense, 10% to Magic
Defense.
Notes: Defense raising items are always really useful, combine this orb with
other defense raising orbs to get great defense stats.
*******
Okay, that's all the Hoshi Fragments in the game, remember to collect all
these, because it's VERY important!
