There are many items you will find on your journey. Some are found, some are bought, some are
won from enemies, and all are in some way beneficial.
Please check out the Enemies Page to see which enemies drop certain
items.
Special thanks to Hawkwood for the Silver Hat, which
was missing from the list of Head Armors.

Crystals
Crystals are Runes in item form. You can carry crystals, but once equipped on a character,
they become Runes. You can find info on Runes (as well as help understanding them) and
Rune Fragments on the Runes Page.
Antiques
Occasionally, you will find items marked "???", either from treasure chests or from defeating
certain enemies. Take them to an appraiser to see what it is. Listed below are the selling
prices for the antiques.
If you fight any enemy that can give you an antique, you have a chance
of winning either the normal antiques, or a Failure Urn or Peeing Boy.
