Check the current item, not just an old table

Capcom changed some equipment stats, chest contents, enemy drops, and quest rewards on June 10, 2026. Named routes below are guide-documented leads, not a guarantee that every old stat or payout remains unchanged.

Check vocation restrictions before buying equipment. A staff and an archistaff serve different vocations; a book with a weapon-like name may be a quest valuable. Avoid using rare grimoires until you have decided which quest needs them.
