About this converter
Dragon Quest VIII weapons climb from 4 to 40 attack. Cypress Stick opens at 4, Soldier Sword at 8, Copper Sword at 13, Rapier at 17, Boomerang at 19, Stone Axe at 20, Short Bow at 23, Iron Lance at 24, Edged Boomerang at 27, Long Spear at 30, Steel Broadsword at 35, Templar Sword at 36, Falcon Blade at 37 with two hits and Platinum Sword at 40. That makes one Platinum Sword equal ten Cypress Sticks or five Soldier Swords. Swords suit Hero and Angelo, boomerangs hit groups, bows suit Angelo. Every value here is the PS2 base from Wiki and GameFAQs 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 Platinum Sword against Sticks.
Falcon Blade at 37 hits twice at 75 percent per hit, so live damage doubles base but rows pin 37. Boomerangs hit all foes with falloff, noted outside base math. Tension and strength add on top in battle, so rows pin weapon base only.
