I: Updates

    5/19/03: Managed another update, completing version 1.1 of FAQ.  Added the
Smart Shield (glitch?) to the blacksmithing list, with a rather detailed note
on that particular item.

    5/09/03: Completed version 1.0 of FAQ, confirming Dragon God's place on
Anna's menu and adding the rest of the Blacksmithing items, including the Death
Ring.  Also added Huang to the list of towns, even though there's no shops
there.  After all, it does appear on the map.  Oh yeah, and I had somehow left
out the G's on Rashkuta's item list, but I corrected that.

    11/22/02: Completed version 0.9 of FAQ.  Added the rest of the shops and
information on the Pretty Ring in the Yanmas Shop.  Only need the rest of the
Blacksmith items now!

    11/19/02: Completed version 0.8 of FAQ.

    This FAQ was written as a quick reference to the numerous shops in the
game: magic shops, armor/weapon shops, and item shops.  I got extremely tired
of constantly going into EVERY SINGLE LITTLE TOWN to buy one little item or
spell, so here's a handy little reference guide for everyone.  Want to know
where to buy the Berserk spell?  Can't find a Silver Trail armor?  This guide
is the perfect answer to your questions.  Simply Ctrl + F to find the item or
spell you need.  Note that I am using Mana Sword's translation.

II: In the Next Update

    No update in the future, unless I get some new information or find any
mistakes...

III: The Shops


1. Small Village

(no shops)


2. Yanmas

Armory/Item Shop
-Silver Sword, 4000G
-Estoc, 5000G
-Knight (Armor), 1000G
-Knight (Shield), 1200G
-Salve 2, 200G
-Remedy, 500G

Armory/Item Shop (2)
-Battle Axe, 1600G
-Estoc, 5000G
-Amen Tomb, 4600G
-Knight (Armor), 1000G
-Knight (Shield), 1200G
-Tpotion3, 1200G
-Pretty Ring, 10G (*)

*-The Pretty Ring appears in this shop if you sell the Royal Ring in any shop.
You can buy as many Pretty Rings as you want, but only one will turn into the
Royal Ring.  For example: Buy 2 Pretty Rings and you'll get the Royal Ring and
1 Pretty Ring in your inventory.  Buy 3 Pretty Rings and you'll get the Royal
Ring and 2 Pretty Rings in your inventory.  If you sell the Royal Ring again,
you MUST BUY another Pretty Ring, as the Pretty Rings already in your inventory
do NOT turn into Royal Rings.  Note that this is an infinite money trick.  Sell
Royal Ring for 2500G, buy for 10G, sell again, etc.  This is a VERY fast way to
buy the strongest Moon and Sun spells from Xuan.  It's also a VERY BIG cheat!

*-This is a glitch, I believe.  The Smart shield only appears if you are
playing as Mikhail and have ordered the blacksmiths while on your throne to
make the Dragon Scale equipment.  This is the same Smart shield sold in normal
shops, like Rashkuta.  It'd be incredibly stupid to trade one of your powerful
and rare Dragon Scale swords to get this rather junk, easily found shield.  I
believe that this is SUPPOSED to have been where the Dragon Scale shield was
supposed to appear, but honestly have no idea why this is messed up like this.
Do NOT buy this!  Another Dragonscale Sword or Armor is much more worth your
money, especially when considering the very limited number of Drgn Scales (3 in
the entire game).

V: Thanks
    First off, thanks go to CJayC at www.gamefaqs.com for having the absolute
best FAQ and walkthrough site on the net, and for posting this FAQ.  Secondly,
thanks to Square for making this fantastic addicting game, although they did
not translate it, sadly.  Thanks to Mana Sword, whose translation and site made
it possible for me to play this wonderful game.  A thankyou goes to Saint
Ajora, for being the one to mention this game a long time ago at the Saga
Frontier board and introducing me to the world of Romancing Saga 3.  Oh yeah,
and thanks to all the people who wrote FAQs and Walkthroughs for Romancing Saga
3.  Lastly, thanks to Dark RPG Wizard 06 for helping me with the code for a
second Death Fragment, which let me make a Death Ring.
