About this converter
Dragon Quest IV NES weapons climb from 0 to 100 attack. Poison Needle opens at 0 by effect, Cypress Stick at 2, Oaken Club at 7, Copper Sword at 12, Thorn Whip at 14, Boomerang at 18, Chain Sickle at 20, Iron Spear at 28, Broadsword at 40, Battle Axe at 50, Dream Blade at 60, Zenithian Sword at 65 NES, Falcon Blade at 67 twice, Dragonsbane at 90 and Miracle Sword at 100. That makes one Miracle equal fifty Cypress Sticks or over eight Copper Swords. Hero, Ragnar and Torneko share the list across chapters. Remakes lift Zenithian to 110, noted as version gap. Every value here is the NES base from RPGClassics and Wiki tables.
How to use it
Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in attack. Try 1 Miracle Sword against Sticks.
Falcon Blade at 67 hits twice, so live damage doubles base but rows pin 67. Poison Needle at 0 kills 1 of 8 by effect with no attack, kept as zero row. Double-Edged 99 cursed sits between Dragonsbane and Miracle and stays out for space, noted here.
