| If you have powerful companions, they may |
| purchase equipment for you. Otherwise, |
| equipment for novices is provided by the |
| Temple of Shilen. |
| For now, you should seek to master the arms |
| and armour you already possess. You will |
| sometimes obtain arms and armor from the |
| monsters you hunt. With some luck, you may |
| acquire cloth shoes, apprentice's shoes, or a |
| cloth cap. |
| The temple will provide you with two different |
| blades, a dagger and a squire's sword. The |
| dagger is swift, but its accuracy suffers, while |
| the squire's sword (one-handed sword) is |
| noticeably slower than the dagger, but strikes |
| with greater accuracy. Remember that different |
| weapons may call upon different skills in their |
| use. |
| Return to me when you have achieved level 6. |
| and I will teach you more about weapons. |
