Equipment

Such was the twisted joy of this sickle's owner that his soul possesses it still. Every cut it makes leaves a scar upon one's soul, its ghostly laughter drowning out all sane thought.

These steel greaves forsake agility in favor of pure defense. In the words of one warrior: "At the end of any battle, courage and determination are all that matter."

Does your heart burn with the desire to strike down your enemies? Then burn, oh let it burn! Let those flames rise into an inferno, becoming a scorching blade able to incinerate your foes.

The signature axe of the legendary dwarven Rust Warriors. They would face opponents with absolute dignity and clarity of purpose, these axes in hand, ever devoted to their warrior's creed.

Gloves of a warrior monk who prayed for a way to end the fight. His prayers were answered.

Capes supposedly commissioned by a famed noble thief from a master craftsman. Only thirteen are said to exist, passing from collector to collector. Strangely, all of them seem to meet mysterious ends.

Gear that doesn't sacrifice comfort for functionality, as intricate cross-stitching in places provides added protection. Suitable for hiking and navigating rough terrain.

The signature weapon of the esteemed Whirlwind Knights of the Alliance of the Nine Kingdoms. This blade symbolizes their creed: to charge one's enemies like a gale and cut them down like a cyclone.

An axe with a built-in force field generator, usable by overworlders alone. Its origins are murky, but some suspect it may be part of the reason overworlders came to this place.

A shield that distinguishes those who guard the Town of Beginnings—a city located on Aincrad's first floor. This appears to be a prototype, making it a little unwieldy.

Combat gloves made using overworlder methods. These appear to be prototypes and may be unreliable.

Combat attire worn by city watchmen of the overworld. This appears to be a prototype, with poorly finished stitching.

A small one-handed iron sword. This appears to be a prototype, with a poorly sharpened blade.

Pants adorned with designs favored by overworlders. These appear to be prototypes and lack much in the way of functionality.

A blade housing a petal-wreathed core carved from the bark of a rare sacred tree, imbued with a warm, soporific spring aroma. This floral-scented blade grants peaceful slumber to its enemies.

This sword, also deemed the "Oppressor," was created as the prototype of a certain black magic blade. Is the mock-up inferior to the final creation? Take up this sword and decide for yourself.

A superior weapon is crafted with a single, destructive purpose, and need only be measured by the explosiveness of its strikes. Such is the creed of the blacksmiths who created this warhammer.

If defense is the goal, nothing gets the job done better. Like any trusty shield, it allows for a brief moment of respite to clear the mind after deflecting an attack—before striking back in turn.

Gloves rumored to have been created by a sage who lived in the forest. While he enchanted them with energy, his intention was not to dispose of his enemies, but to better communicate with them.

A sword blessed by an ancient god. It is all at once a contract, an oath, and a curse—a divine directive to seize victory in the deity's name.
