# Dragon Quest/Items and Equipment

There are many valuable items available in the shops of Alefgard, and others that can be found hidden in dungeons or Treasure Chests. Some items have magical properties, but they can be used only once, unlike spells. In many towns you will find weapons and armor to strengthen you.
Wanted: One used Sword. Once you have purchased an item you may keep it and use it, or you may sell it back to a shopkeeper. Keep in mind, however, that if you sell an item, you will receive only a portion of what you paid for it new.

## Equipment

There are three slots for equippable items. No action is needed to equip a piece of equipment once it's been purchased; you may only carry one piece of each type and it is automatically used by your character. Weapon strength adds directly to your base strength (power) to determine attack power; armor and shield defense are added to half your agility (response speed) to determine your final defense power.
