Dragon Quest Builders is not always Sunshine and Happyness. As you build your fantasy Village you will have to defend yourself and your citizens from the enemies that lurk the lands. You can do this by outfitting yourself with great armour and powerful weapons. However firstly you will need to get the required materials and items in order to craft your weapons and gear.
Weapons and Armor are not the only things you may need. Weapons will be essential to ensure that you’re hitting your enemies harder and harder. Armor will allow you to survive those longer boss Battles. Whilst having to defend your villages you can build defences with the materials. You also can gain access to Shields which grant additional bonuses as well as ranged weapons which will allow you to deal the pain from range.
Below is an extensive guide on all the Weapons, Armor, Shields, Defences, Ranged weapons and more available within Dragon Quest Builders. Be sure to check out our other guides if you are looking for more information on where you can find the crafting materials and what elements are required. Happy Hunting!
