10 BEST AND WORST RELICS (in my opinion)
Best Relics
10.Merit Award- A great one for Relm, Strago, and Gogo
9.Muscle Belt- 150% of your HP? Great!!!!!
8.Black Belt- Counterattacks are very convenient
7.Gem Box- If your magic is good enough, you can kill one of the 8 dragons in one turn!
6.Genji Glove- Shields aren't the best, anyway.
5.Offering- Sure you're a little weaker, but 4 attacks is worth it!
4.Ribbon- Protection from all minor status effects is great!
3.Exp. Egg- Double experience is great!
2.Econmizer- Each spell only 1 MP w/ no drawback?! Wow!
1.Sprint Shoes- Walking so slowly is annoying!
Worst Relics
10.Sniper Sight- Useless except for on Cactrots
9.Peace Ring- Muddle isn't the worst, and bserk is nice to have used on you
8.Fairy Ring- Poison and Dark aren't very bad status effects anyway
7.Star Pendant- Poison... Bleah!
6.Czarina Ring- Safe and shell don't mean too much when you're probably going to die anyway
5.Mithril Glove- There's a 90% chance you'll die from the next attack anyway
4.Barrier Ring- There's a 95% chance you'll die from the next spell anyway
3.Cherub Down- 6300 GP to save 17 MP? What a waste!
2.Goggles- Blind doesn't really do anything in the first place
1.Cursed Ring- Does nothing but weaken you... And 255 battles w/ it for... Paladin Ring?! Nope, a Hero Ring. :-(
