Eternal Legend - Final Fantasy IX - Equipment

Claws

Amarant is both a powerful fighter and support character, with strong equipment and the ability to learn a variety of white magic-style skills. Keeping on top of his game with new equipment helps to take advantage of his versatility and strength, as each weapon brings out a different side of his combat style.

Name	Status
Cat's Claw	Ordinary claws used for combat.
	Attack: 23
	No special status
	Chakra: 30 Counter: 240
	Amarant's initial equipment. Purchase in Alexandria, Treno. Find in Ipsen's Castle.
Amarant's first weapon isn't really anything special considering the lateness of his arrival, and a better weapon is available even before he joins. Keep it for the Chakra if need be.

Poison Knuckles	Combat knuckles.
	Attack: 33
	Add ST: Poison
	Spare Change: 90 Counter: 240
	Purchase in numerous shops.
This may be bought in Conde Petie, foreshadowing Amarant's appearance. Throwing away good money is perhaps a rather counterproductive method of attack, but just look at the poison!

Mythril Claws	Claws made of mythril.
	Attack: 39
	No special status
	Curse: 20 Counter: 240
	Steal from Taharka. Purchase in Esto Gaza, Oeilvert.
Despite being made of mythil, this handwear is disappointingly ineffectual. On top of that, it is only available on disc 3.

Scissors Fang	Weapon with deadly venom on the tip.
	Attack: 45
	Add ST: Venom
	Aura: 25 Counter: 240
	Purchase in Esto Gaza.
Venom makes this a useful replacement for the weaker Poison Knuckles, and Aura's regenerative and protective abilities are unbelievably useful. A disc 3 highlight weapon.

Dragon's Claws	Weapon made from a dragon's claw.
	Attack: 53
	Elem-Atk: Water
	No Mercy: 25 Counter: 240
	Find with Chocograph 7, Forgotten Lagoon.
Venom makes this a useful replacement for the weaker Poison Knuckles, and Aura's regenerative and protective abilities are unbelievably useful. A disc 3 highlight weapon.

Tiger Fangs	Long, sharp claws.
	Attack: 62
	No special status
	Revive: 35 Counter: 240
	Purchase in Daguerreo.
A generally middling pair of pointy gloves, the Tiger Fangs have little special purpose other than teaching the mildly useful Revive skill.

Avenger	Powerful claws that can kill opponents with one hit.
	Attack: 70
	Add ST: Death Blow
	Demi Shock: 50 Counter: 240
	Steal from Earth Guardian. Purchase in Bran Bal, Daguerreo.
Now this is a weapon. "Powerful claws that can kill opponents with one hit." An attack power of 70 for those who aren't caught by the added status effect.

Kaiser Knuckles	Claws with a wind spirit dwelling inside.
	Attack: 75
	Add ST: Trouble Elem-Atk: Wind
	Countdown: 40 Curse: 20 Counter: 240
	Find with Chocograph 15, Dusk Plains. Steal from Silver Dragon. Purchase in Daguerreo.
A very powerful endgame weapon, the Kaiser Knuckles have an impressive strength and (through their status attack) can damage more than one enemy at a time.

Duel Claws	Weapon once used by a lengendary hero.
	Attack: 75
	Add ST: Berserk
	Aura: 25 No Mercy: 25 Counter: 240
	Steal from Deathguise. Synth in the Black Mage Village.
A competitor to the Kaiser Knuckles with a similar strength, the ability to learn Aura if you missed it earlier is a very useful one. However, Berserk as an added status is a somewhat unusual choice and is best used against magical opponents.

Rune Claws	Legendary combat claws that use the power of darkness to unleash a destructive force beyond imagination.
	Attack: 83
	Add ST: Darkness
	Spare Change: 90 Demi Shock: 50 Revive: 35
	Find in Memoria.
Amarant's ultimate weapon is suitably strong and comes with some useful abilities if you overlook Spare Change. He really should have learned Counter by this point anyway.
