Draft:Shiren 1 SFC:Weapon

Weapons (Japanese: ???) are the most reliable way of dealing damage in Shiren the Wanderer SFC. Shiren's Strength statistic and bare-handed punching quickly become useless upon hoards of Monsters.

All weapons have an unalterable base power value: Base Strength, and receive additional power through upgrades, in which all weapons have a set Max Upgrade value which cannot be exceeded. The Upgrade Value number is shown next to the weapon name as +[Value].

A weapons Upgrade Value can be increased by +1 by reading a Heaven Scroll with the weapon equipped, or by paying a Blacksmith 1,000 Gitan. Both methods can rarely increase this value by +3 instead of +1

Combining weapons in a Fusion Pot will add the Upgrade Values of multiple weapons together into the first inserted, as long as the Max Upgrade value has not been exceeded.

Weapon Seals

See: Melding and Seals

Some types of weapons have inbuilt abilities (Seals), with various effects, including:

• Increased damage against certain Monster Types.
• Performing Critical Hits.
• The ability to dig through walls.
• Creating Meat from defeated monsters.

Fusion Pots can combine many of these Seals into one item, creating an insanely powerful weapon. If a weapon with two 200% damage to a specific monster type seals hits a monster of both types, 400% damage will be dealt (normal damage is quadrupled). Floating-type is the most common in monsters of two types, therefore the Air Slayer Seal File:Shiren 1 DS Weapon Seal Air.png is one of the most useful.

Curses

See: Curses

Weapon Seals do not function while the item is cursed but the upgrade value will be preserved and still function for attack power. Once equipped, the Weapon also cannot be normally removed.

Rusting

Triggering Rust Switch and Midoro Family Monsters can decrease the Upgrade Value of weapons and monsters level 3 and 4 can remove Seals.

A weapons minimum upgrade value is the same number as its Base Strength.

Grey Slimes and Red Slimes

The [Gld]File:Shiren 1 DS Weapon Seal Gold.png Seal will be removed first, then the other seals in a random order. When attacking, your weapon or shield will either rust or have a seal removed from it.
Green Slimes: Decrease upgrade value by 1 each rust.
Purple Slimes: Decrease upgrade value by 2 each rust.
Grey Slimes: Decrease upgrade value by 1 each rust and can remove seals.
Red Slimes: Decrease upgrade value by 3 each rust and can remove seals.

Exceptions

• Clubs cannot rust by Rust Switches, but can rust by Midoro Family Monsters (all levels).^{[Citation needed]}

Weapons cannot lose their intrinsic ability, e.g. a Dragon Killer cannot have its [Drg] Seal removed, however the [Drg] seal can potentially be lost if this weapon is melded into a Nagamaki or another Weapon other than a Dragon Killer.

Buying and Selling

Base Price: Weapon cost without added inherent Seal Price.
Upgrade value price: Upgrade Value of weapon (+ive or -ive) x Buy+ (or) Sell+ value
Seal Price: No change whether buying or selling.

Equations for Weapon Price

Buying: Weapon base price + Upgrade value price + Seal Price(s). (total x 0.9 if cursed)

Selling: (Weapon base price x 0.3) + Seal Price(s) + Upgrade Value price (subtract if value is negative) (total x 0.9 if cursed)
