			Fire Emblem:  Radiant Dawn Item Guide
			          by Chaet_legend

Hello, and welcome to my guide about the items in the Game, Fire Emblem: RD for
the Wii.  This is best used as a reference, and it will also cover ALL known
hidden items.  I would be happy for any contributors.

This guide *MAY* contain certain spoilers.  If so, they won't be huge.  If your
meticulous in this way, I suggest playing this game without this reference.

I would like to say thanks to www.serenesforest.net for its great lists on
every FE game thus far.  This helped me do the FAQ, thats for sure.  If you
need help on any aspect, you should pay a visit there.

Also, dr_burger, if your out there, thanks for introducing me to the FE series
man.  Without you, this guide would certainly not be here today!!

If you are looking for a certain item, just use Ctrl F and type it in.  With
most other guides that I have done in the past, i get an unbelieveable amount
of emails saying something is not in my guide when it sometimes has a whole
section on it!

This guide is based on the Normal mode.  I assume Easy is the same, but Hard
_MAY_ have one or two differences.  Do not email me about my mistakes.  If you
want to contribute to the hard mode, please email me.

Anyway, without anymore waffle, lets proceed to the main guide.

Contact & Legal Rights:

My email is [email protected].  Just to make it clear:

-Please put something RD related in the title.  It just helps my organisation.
-Contributions, tips, are indeed welcome.  Please be aware I am incredibly
 busy.  If you don't recieve a reply within 2 weeks, try again.  I will almost
 always reply.
-TEH GHEBINESS WILL RULE TEH WORLDZ!!!!1111!!11shift+1!  OK. now I've got that
 out of my system, please do not send me any emails on his Ghebiness.  Funny
 it may be, but I get lots of emails everyday and I would rather get through it
 quiclkly.

There aren't too many rules with this FAQ.  The gist of Copyright basically.

-No takies without my permission.  I will almost always give permission.  I
 would however like a link to the site, and a person who backs your opinion.

 @ DENNIS OF SUPERCHEATS:  YES, YOU CAN HAVE THIS GUIDE!!!

-If you do take this with my permission, I'm happy for you to keep at home or
 for your friends or whatever, but please give me full credit and do not alter
 the text.  I do not want to have to deal with another Plagarism case :(.  Also
 don't make a profit out of this.  Its for free use.

-The site that may host this is www.gamefaqs.com.  I am happy for its sister,
 GameSpot.com to have this FAQ, and the sites that I know are responsible, like
 AOL games & Yahoo Games.  However, Game Cheats world and CCC are NOT allowed
 it EVER.

Shops and the Bargain Bin:

You start off with Muston selling weapons, and Aimee selling staves and the
Bargain Bin.  Gradually, more stock will be added to each, with better weapons.

NOTE:  Contrary to the GBA FE games, Tomes (Wind, Thunder, Fire, Light, Dark)
are now sold in the Armory, NOT the Shop.

The way this list is set out is:  Name + Type, Gold, Levels available (1-4
would be Part 1, Ch 4 for example).  If I say 1-4 to 3-2, for example, this
mean the weapon is available in every level from 1-4 to 3-2.

F means Final (endgame).  P means Proloug.  All weapons are available at all 5
stages on 4-E.  From means from that point on.  Swd and Lnc mean Sword and
Lance respectivley.  Grt means Great.  Your first encounter with the Convoy is
base 1-4.  The following missions have no armoury:  2-P, 2-1, 2-2, 3-P & 3-1.
I know it sounds obvious and patronising but I have had cases asking the most
obvious questions in the past, so I'm covering all the bases.

Hidden Treasures

This section will list every single treasure that can be found in every level.
However, if someone finds anymore that are not listed here, please do drop me
an email.

In the Japanese versions, there is a glitch which lets your lord search for
treasure even when they have been greyed out.  Simply click on them, and select
"Order", and just keep clicking on the options and eventually, the item will
sohw up.  However, since the NA release, this glitch has been fixed.

Also, why bother using Sothe and Heather?  Simply because Rouge's and Whispers
get a massive bonus, which will almost give them a 100% sucess rate at every
time.  I'm not sue if this games Assasin gets this skill as well, could someone
please confirm weather they do or don't?

The formulae for working your chances are:

Luck + 60 if Rouge/Whisper + Biorhytm = Sucess %

Biorhythm bonuses are as follows:

Best + 20
Good + 10
Bad  - 10
Worst- 20

I think you can work out your own characters chances from there. Well then, the
list.  The way I have done this is a coordinate system.  The first number is
going left to right, the second number is going down to up.  You have to
imagine that the square that is the furthest to the South West is counted as
(1-1).

Forging

Forging, the only reason to use Coins, will become an on and off feature of the
game, e.g., the later you get into the game, the less forging oppertunities you
get.

Since I've already touched on coins, I might as well explain them.

When our in battle, try and get as many spoil coins and hidden coins as
possible.  When you come to forging, you will be given a random selection of
5 cards, all of which will add bonuses to your weapon (xcept the Vine and Raven
cards).  Pick the one you want (they are face down and shuffled), and there you
go.

The bonuses are as follows:

Sword:          Mt  + 1
Axe:            Mt  + 2
2 Swords:       Mt  + 3
Arrow:          Hit + 10
Arrow tip:      Hit + 20
Feather:        Crt + 5
Seraph Feather: Crt + 10
Soldier:        Mt  + 1   Hit + 10
Knight:         Mt  + 1   Crt + 5
Godess:         Mt  + 1   Hit + 10   Crt + 5
Vine:           No effect
Raven:          Coins +4, no effect on Weapon.

As you progress in the game, you get more powerful weapons/different tomes to
forge off.  You start off with an "Iron" Weapon to forge off, and Light and
Thunder Tomes (for Micaiah and Illyana), and gradually, you will build up into
the Silver and Throwing items.  Please note you never get the chance to forge
an El, Arc, Long-Range or S(S) tomes.

Now you may have noticed that the way the Forger charges you varies. If you add
say, +2 Mt to an Iron Swd, instead of +1, the amount you pay will increase not
in a set amount, but simply put, the more you put on, the more the cost.

For some reason, if you take off Mt, Hit, Crit, and put more weight on, it will
still cost you.  Note that there is no benefit to this, except "theoretically"
you might get Weapon EXP from not kiilling an opponent and using the item more,
but why would you want to do that?  It is extremely easy to get SS ranks in
this game, especially with over 15 Arms Scrolls Hidden and for Sale.

Even though you get 5 hit and 3 crit every time you increase an amount, I will
henceforth just call it +/-1, +/-2, and so on.  It just makes it easier
comparing with Weight and Mt, which only go in 1's.

+/- first level:  +10% of original price.
+/- second level: +40% of original price.
+/- third level:  +90% of original price.
+/- fourth level: +160% of original price.
+/- fifth level:  +250% of original price.

In te Japanese version of Forging, you have to use Forging points.  For
those of you curious of the Base Conversation with the Forger in 1-4, that
was meant in the Japanese version and was not taken out, so it is of no
importance (even though it has *** as its rating).  If however, you are playing
the Japanese version, this base conversation will get you your first weapon
free of charge, by giving you 50 Forging points.

Every time you sell a weapon, you get a set amount of points.  It doesn't
matter if it has 1 use left or 50 uses, you'll always get the same amount of
points per weapon rank.  The points are as follows:

E  - 1
D  - 5
C  - 10
B  - 25
A  - 50
S  - 100
SS - 200

It costs 50 points + g to forge a weapon.

I think thats just about my long essay on forging.

Trinities, Triangles, and Why to use Dark Magic

You may have heard of the Trinity of Magic, or the Weapons Triangle, but what
exactly are they?

Well, it means your weapons can have advantages or disadvantages over others.
Usually, this means more Hit, Mt and Crt, and the amount varies depending on
the location and units involved.

The triangles are as follows:

       Anima (Fire, Thunder, Wind)
     /|\    |
      |     |
      |     |
      |    \|/
   Dark<------Light


         Swords
     /|\         |
      |          |
      |          |
      |         \|/
   Lances<------Axes  *Bows and Knives are neautral to everything*.

However, we can also split the anima categories up.

           Fire
     /|\           |

But why use Dark magic, if you don't seem to encounter any Dark Magic users
except Izuka, who you cannot recruit?  Fear not.  Once you have beaten the game
and play it through for the second time, you can recruit 2 Dark Magic users.
I won't spoil how to get them or who they are, if you want to know really badly
email me.

Items worth Stealing:

This is incomplete, and will be added to.  I won't bother listing all the
Vulneries and herbs to steal, because there are just too many of them.

A quick note:  This is the only way to get Bolting.  There are several
oppertunities to get it, but you will have to disarm it.  The best way to do
this is (sorry, my previous strategy was only applicable for the last game :/ )

1)  Find a mage with bolting, possibly the one in the early chapters of Ike's
    chapters, and make sure it has another tome.
2)  Get in range of the mage, but not so that your in range of Bolting, rather,
    so your in range of the other tome (ie 1-2 squares away).
3)  Use someone a rouge with good speed and steal the item (if your using
    Heather, I've had problems with her so you might want to try and boost her
    speed).

This trick can be used for most items...either that, or you could use a Silence
staff to stop the enemy using Magic and steal it then.

Blessing Items

*WARNING*

THIS SECTION CONTAINS SPOILERS.  DO NOT READ IT IF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS.

























When you get to 4-F-3, Yune will bless your first slot weapon, on all of your
characters.  This includes all of the laguz weapons.  This means:

1) Your Weapons will get unlimited uses.
2) They will get a power and crit boost.
3) They will be able to damage foes with the skill "Mantle".

No staves can be blessed.  The Magic Cards for non magic users all cannot be
blessed, niether can any non-weapons, eg Vulneries.

Anyway, as for the Bolting Strategy I mentioned earlier, it is for taking out
everything on 4-F-3, the much hated dragon level.  If you don't want/have acess
to Illyana, you may want to stick it on someone like your Heron, and give it to
them in their first slot.  Assuming you brought someone like Soren or Bastian,
give it to them, this way, they can have their blessed weapon and the useful
Bolting.  Because Thunder is more effective on Dragons than any other type of
weapon, it will be much easier to take out the boss.  If you don't have acess
to Bolting, then using the Dragonfoe Skill Scroll and Meteor/Blizzard also work
but it will not be as effective on the boss.  If you don't like Nasir, and want
to kill him, it also won't be very effective against him.

The SS items, Character Unique items, and where to get them

There is one SS item for every kind of Weapon, excpet Swords and Staves, each
of which have two.  SS ranks are set on certain characters.  I won't go into
this here, there is a great list at Serenes Forest.  I've done my best
to omit any major spoilers, but there may still be some.  The Laguz system is
slightly different, see the strikes section.  I won't bother to list the Spirit
Tails, because you cannot get them without hacking the game.

----Swords:

Vague Katti:  Comes with Stefan in 4-3.
Alondite:  Defeat the boss of 4-F-2
Ettard:  Ike only, comes with at start, hidden treasure in 3-4.
Florete:  Mist only, comes with it, also avaliable from the Bargain Bin
Amiti:  Elinca only, comes with it at the start of 2-P
Ragnell:  Ike only, comes with at 3-11
Caladbolg:  Edward only, base conversation before 3-6 is still alive.

-----Lances;

Wishblade:  Defeat Levail in 4-F-2

-----Axes:

Urvan:  Base conversation before 4-F-1
Tarvos:  Nolan only, base Conversation before 3-6 if still alive.

-----Bows:

Double bow:  Defeat enemy in 4-F-1
Lughnasadh:  Leonardo only, base conversation before 3-6 if still alive.

*note*:  There are no SS or character specific Crossbows.

-----Knives:

Baselard:  Hidden treasure in 4-3.

-----Strikes:

Fang Wolf, Great Fang Wolf, Fang Tiger, Fang Lion, Great Fang Lion, Claw, Beak,
Great Beak, Talon, Great Talon, Red Breath, White Breath, Black Breath Prince,
Black Breath King:

All of the Laguz strike weapons are listed above (bar judge).  This is because
each of their weapons will automaticall become stronger as you level up their
Weapon matstery level.  This will mean an SS great Talon has more power than
an S Great Talon is.

For example:

S Great Talon (Tibarn):  15 mt, 100 hit, 0 Crt, 0 Weight, 1 Rng.
SS Great Talon (Tibarn): 20 mt, 100 hit, 0 crt, 0 weight, 1 Rng.

As you can see, the only thing that changes is Mt.  All Laguz weapons give 1
point of Weapon EXP.

Also, I mentioned Judge earlier, basically, its treated as light magic, does
damage from the Magic, but is listed as a Laguz weapon for some reason.  Weird,
I know.

-----Light:

Rexaura:  Defeat Lekain in 4-F-1
Thani:  Micaiah only, from chest in 1-1 then again in an info conversation in
        1-F is Fiona is still alive.
Creiddylad:  Sephiran only, cannot be obtained in any way without cheating.

-----Dark:

Balberith:  Defeat the boss in 4-5.

-----Wind:

Rexcalibur:  Base conversation before 4-1.

-----Thunder:

Rexbolt:  Base conversation before 4-P

-----Fire:

Cymbeline:  Sanaki only, comes with it in 4-P
Rexflame:  Base conversation before 4-2.

-----Staves:

Matrona:  Chest in 4-F-1
Ashera staff:  If you furfil the requirements to unlock the characters on your
               second playthrough or more, this staff will come with the second
               character in 4-F-5.

Who Starts with what?

The way this is set out is:  Name, Weapons, Items (if any) and Skills.  Seeing
as how Shove and Canto are on every ground and mounted unit respectivly, and
that the cannot be removed, I will not list them.  When a unit comes back after
temporarily leaving, I will not list them twice if they have the same items,
however, I will make a note of what they come back with if they come back with
a different item or less items.

Quick not about the Crimean Royal Knights (Elincia, Geoffry, Lucia, Astrid,
Danved, Makalov, Marcia, Callil and Kieran) - In the level where Elincia loses
all of her weapons, if you took all of their weapons and items off of them in
the previous missions, they will come back with Iron/Steel weapons of their
main weapon.  So, if you took everything of Astrid for example, she would come
bac, with a Steel Bow.  I can't remember if any of them come back with any
potions/herbs or not.

Illyana, Brom, Nephenee and Heather will all have exactly the same everything
that they did in Pts 1-2 when they join Ikes group.  When you come to the parts
where Ike fights Micaiah, the characters in the opposition will retain their
previous items, unless you removed them, in which case, I think they get
replaced with a steel version of their main item.

On the convoys:  You will retain all items in your convoy and access it again
when your lord next comes into command, although in part 4, your 3 convoys will
merge, and you can store up to 300 items at a time.  Also, if you have a data
transfer from PoR, any coins you retained at the end of the game will go to
Ike's convoy as soon as you access it in part 3.

The Unobtainable items, but the ones which are in the data.

These items are in the game, but they are not obtainable without codes.  Items
that only appear on enemies are not listed here, because even though you may
not be able to obtain them, they are still there, as opposed to not on anything
in the game.  I do not know all of the codes, so please do not ask for them.
I'm assuming they have the same effects from PoR.

* = the theory is that the Blue Laguz Stone is a variant of the normal one,
with just one use, but has a higher value when sold...not 100% sure though.

So, here they are (my guesses at what they do):

-----Lances:

Slim Lance - Like the Slim Swd, it deals less damage but has better...everything
else over the Iron Swd.

-----Items:

Blue Laguz Stone *
Wild Stone
Frey Bomb (also known as a Mine)
Warp Powder - Also known as the BK's means of teleportation

-----Skills:

Tempest
Serenity
Laguzguard
Beorcguard
Full Guard
Knight Ward
Troop Scroll

I'm assuming they have the same effects that they did in PoR: go to sernesforest
for a complete list.  Note that most of these items were the Equipable items
that gave specific advantages/abilities to whoever equipped them.

Closing:

things.

off on another FAQ while balancing school and life.
