The player can equip up to three pieces of special equipment. These items can be purchased at stores in Towns, found in Dungeons, or recovered through random encounters.
Having an item equipped can affect gameplay in various ways, and simply having an item in your Item Inventory can unlock other options in Random Encounters; for example, having the Rosary item can reassure the person you meet in the "Disheartened Priest" random encounter, resulting in a better reward.
