[IN] INTRODUCTION
=========================================================================
Good day everyone and welcome to my Overlord: Minion Equipment FAQ. This
is the second FAQ I've made so far so it should look alright and provide
lots of info. The main purpose of this FAQ is to help people easily find
specific pieces of minion equipment. I don't know if I'll be adding the
stats of each equipment since that would take lots of time and testing.
Well, enjoy the FAQ!
=========================================================================
=========================================================================
[EI] EQUIPMENT INFORMATION
=========================================================================
In Overlord destroying breakable items and defeating enemies might
yield pieces of equipment for your minions to use. By equiping your
minions they become stronger and last longer in battle. To pick up
equipment simply sweep your minions over them and they will automatically
equip themselves. Note that sweeping minions over better equipment
will discard any old, less useful ones they have. These discarded pieces
drop onto the floor for other less equiped minions to pick up. Pieces of
equipment can be easily seen by a bright shine they usually emit when on
the floor. Note that most equipment is only visible on Browns. Reds,
Greens and Blues may pick up equipment, but it might not be visible
yet it will still have an effect. There's five types of equipment:
weapons, helms, gloves, armguards and armor.
=========================================================================
=========================================================================
[HT] HOW TO USE THIS FAQ
=========================================================================
The lists of equipment will follow the following format. Here is an
explanation of how it works.
Name: (Name of the item)
Location: (Where it can be found)
Source: (Who or what drops it)
=========================================================================
=========================================================================
[EL] EQUIPMENT LOCATIONS
=========================================================================
The following lists are currently organized by location. I will be
working on a ranking system for their strength later on. Note that all
enemy related equipment can be obtained in the Dungeon with the exception
of the piece of equipment Blaster Bugs drop.

in this world. Here's all they can wear on top of their little bald

******************************************************
GLOVES [GL]
******************************************************
Whether you're cleaning, gardening, pillaging or just bludgeoning a
sheep for it's soul, gloves will always make it look cooler. The
following are worn on either of a minion's hands:
Name: Brown Leather Glove (Left hand only)
Location: Mellow Hills
Source: Barrels and boxes
Name: Metal Glove (Right hand only)
Location: Heaven's Peak
Source: Zombies
Name: Spartan Glove
Location: Ruborian Desert
Source: Boxes
******************************************************
ARMGUARDS [AR]
******************************************************
What better way to avoid having your arm severed by slugs
than using an armguard. These are worn on your minions' right hand:
Name: Bound Metal Armguard
Location: Mellow Hills
Source: Boxes and jars, Halfling Swordsmen
Name: Spartan Armguard
Location: Ruborian Desert
Source: Boxes
******************************************************
SHOULDERGUARDS [SH]
******************************************************
Back problems? Great! These shoulderpads will definitely not help with
that. Note each minion can equip up to two of these, hence the two
shoulders:
Name: Metal Shoulderguard
Location: Heaven's Peak
Source: Barrells in Refugee Camp
******************************************************
ELBOWPADS [EL]
******************************************************
Protect your elbows from any scrapes with the following:
Name: Metal Spiked Elbowguard
Location: Understreets(2)
Source: Jars
******************************************************
ARMOR [AM]
******************************************************
Never go naked into battle, unless you're fighting a Succubus, if you
catch my drift. Your minions wear these on their torso of course:
Name: Leather Vest
Location: Mellow Hills
Source: Metal jars and boxes, Halfling Swordsmen
Name: Spartan Armor
Location: Ruborian Desert
Source: Boxes
******************************************************
HERO [HE]

one time only pieces of armor that once lost can never be recovered.

Location: Melvin's Kitchen
Equipment: Melvin's Fork
Melvin's Crown

[ME] MINION EQUIPMENT UPGRADES
=========================================================================
Depending on what Mistress you choose you will be able to raise the
strength of your minions' starting equipment. Here are the possible
options.
**********
Rose
**********
Browns' Equipment Upgrade:
Happens automatically once you choose her over Velvet. All your newly
spawned Browns will be wearing full mid-level equipment when taken out.
Blues' Equipment Upgrade:
You can buy the upgrade from the Tower Upgrade Menu for 5000 Gold. Once
bought, all your newly spawned Blues will be wearing full mid-level
equipment when taken out.
**********
Velvet
**********
Reds' Equipment Upgrade:
You can buy the upgrade from the Tower Upgrade Menu for 5000 Gold. Once
bought, all your newly spawned Reds will be wearing full high-level
equipment when taken out.
Greens' Equipment Upgrade:
You can buy the upgrade from the Tower Upgrade Menu for 5000 Gold. Once
bought, all your newly spawned Greens will be wearing full high-level
equipment when taken out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional to this, retrieving the Beer Kettle object from the Brewery
in Golden Hills to your Tower will equip all your newly spawned,
un-upgraded minions with full mid-level armor.
Please note that there is a very dangerous glitch in the Brewery area.
Once you enter, make sure you do NOT leave or turn off your game until
you have retrieved the missing spokes for the broken wheel near the
entrance AND have turned it completely. Failure to do so will result in
a glitch that will make the spokes disappear permanently, thus completely
halting game progress.
=========================================================================
[OI] OTHER MINION EQUIPMENT
=========================================================================
Besides pieces of equipment, minions can also pick up two other items
and use them automatically.
Name: Beer Mug
Location: Mellow Hills, Heaven's Peak, Golden Hills
Source: Crates, On tables, Drunkards, Dwarves of any kind
Effect: Your minions drink it's contents to gain a power boost and a
yellowish aura. They will end this state by taking a wizz.
Name: Large Chicken Leg
Location: Halfling Homes(2), Melvin's Kitchen, Golden Hills
Source: On tables, Halfling Cooks
Effect: Your minions munch on these for no apparent effect.
=========================================================================
[UH] ULTIMATE HORDE EQUIPMENT
=========================================================================
The following pieces of equipment are needed to get your horde to 400%
efficiency and get the Ultimate Horde Achievent. They can all be located
in crates in the Ruborian Desert, mostly in the Village.
Helm: Golden Spartan Helm (Either)
Armor: Spartan Armor
Gloves: Spartan Gloves
Armguard: Spartan Armguard
Weapon: Golden Scimitar or Golden Halbert
It is easier to reach 400% efficiency if your horde consists of 30 Browns
and 20 Blues.
