Weapons

Weapons are crucial for dealing physical damage in Dragon Quest III. Each vocation has a specific set of weapons they can equip, and choosing the right weapon can significantly impact a character's effectiveness in battle. Always aim for the weapon with the highest Attack power that your character can equip.
