Item Shining Foece 1

Items are an important part of any Shining Force game. They are most often bought in shops, though they may also be found in chests or dropped by defeated enemies. In the Tactical RPGs, a character is often limited to carrying four items at a time.

Coins

Coins, also known as GOLD, are the commonly accepted currency across the Shining Force world. They can be exchanged at Weapon and Item shops for various goods. Generally, a good's sale price is 75% of it's buying price, rounded down. In the Legacy of Great Intention, coins are also used to revive fallen allies, cure poison, and dispel curses, all services provided by the Friar.
