Camlon's TreasuresItem Shop |
After gaining control of Nina, take a stroll down to the town of Camlon. You will find that the town has been rebuilt! There are quite a few more people in town, and the castle has been remodeled greatly. I won't go through the directions of what you should do in this town- it's pretty simple. Each house has one item. Have fun exploring this remodeled town- talk to the people, visit the castle (which has no items, aside from any treasures you forgot to pick up in the castle the first time through). The really good thing to note about Camlon is its Inn and Item Shop. The Inn offers a really cheap price for rest compared to other Inns that charge you. It's only 1GP for a rest! As for the Item Shop, the items it sells are basically things you've seen before, but they are relatively cheaper than the wares you've seen anywhere before! This is the place to load yourself with a ton of herbs, antdts, and acorns! As for the items found in this town, all of them are unique. You can find the ProtnA, which temporarily increases your attack in battle, making it useful in long, grueling boss fights. You can also find a Mrbl1, which is THE item you should get. It allows the user to deal one SLAM hit!! It works 100% of the time, but is used up once you use it. Mrbl1 can be bought in stores later in the game, but it's pretty expensive, and can't be found this early in the game. I would use Mrbl1 in a boss fight- one where you HAVE TO USE IT. The DkKiss, when used, CAN instantly kill an enemy in one hit, though there's a chance it won't work. The DkKiss is not as useful compared to the other items you can find here, since it gets used up after you use it once. The W. Ptn you can find raises Wisdom PERMANANTLY by 1, while the A. Ptn raises Agility PERMANANTLY by 1. I'd give the W. Ptn to either Nina, or to another spell caster you'll FIND WAY LATE in the game. So at this point, since you'll probably find some more W. Ptns later on, give it to Nina. You're probably wondering 'why don't I come here with Ryu'. Well, buddy, Ryu is at a pretty high level, so the EP and GP from the monsters don't really help him much. Nina, on the other hand, needs the EP and GP gained while traveling from Winlan to Camlon. You're bound to encounter at least a few groups of monsters on the World Map. Unless you don't want Nina to gain some extra EP and GP, you should travel to Camlon before moving on. Now, once you've found the items you want, bought a ton of items from the cheapest Item Shop you've seen, explored everything there is to Camlon, rested to full health, AND HAVE SAVED AT THE DRAGON SHRINE, exit Camlon, and head back towards Winlan.
