Items used to promote your characters to a special class, and where to find them.
Some of the Shining Force II characters can be promoted with certain items to a special fighting class. To use them simply have them in the item slot of a character (not in the depot of the caravan) when you go to the priest and ask for a promotion. He’ll automatically offer to use it in the promotion. Characters can only be promoted once, so for example if you’ve already made Chester a Paladin, he cannot be promoted to Pegasus Knight (if he was still a Knight he could be promoted to Pegasus Knight though). Remember, characters must be at least level 20 in order to be promoted.

Gold (G) values are the prices at which shops sell the items. This does not mean that all items can be bought at shops, just that if you were to sell them, that’s how much you’d pay to get them back.

| Pros: |

Note that in the Japanese version there is no Vigor Ball in the Elven Town. |

The Cavern of Darkness, on the way to Mount Volcano. On the right side there is a chest you can open after the battle, it’s in there. |
| Pros: |
A higher defence and the ability to attack long range without a weapon |
| Cons: |
Brass Gunners tend to be much slower and seem to never reach the battle in time because of this. If you’re going have a Brass Gunner, give them the Running Ring or use a Running Pimento on them! |
