-==========================================- -=| Dynasty Tactics - Item Reference Guide |=- -==========================================- Presented by Kongming's Archives ( http://www.kongming.net ) Version: 1.0.1 | Last Update: 10/16/02 Copyright (c) 2002 James (Kong Ming) james_gfaqs@hotmail.com Presenting the Dynasty Tactics Items Guide. On this page you can find out what the various items in the game do, where they are found, and several additional tidbits of information regarding them. I am even listing a trick you can use to get more powerful troop types faster (if you don't mind using what could be called a "cheat"). The Dynasty Tactics Item Guide is currently a work in progress. As additional information is discovered or submitted the guide will be updated until it is finally complete. This guide is one of many features of Kongming's Archives, a Web site Dedicated to games based off the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Novel (e.g. Dynasty Warriors, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dynasty Tactics).

Analects Abilities Up - Lea +15 Occupy Zi Tong Avenger Abilities Up - Str +15 Occupy Chang An Blue Blade Abilities Up - Str +15 Occupy Xu Chang Book of Gods Abilities Up - Int +20 Occupy Liao Dong Histories Abilities Up - Lea +20 Occupy Yu Lin Spell Book Abilities Up - Int +10 Occupy Jian An Seven Star Abilities Up - Str +20 Occupy Luo Yang Sun Blade Abilities Up - Str +10 Sun Ruler (take with high combo) Treatise Abilities Up - Lea +10 Occupy Jian Ning Way of Peace Abilities Up - Int +15 Occupy Ping Yuan SECTION IV - CLASS EXPERIENCE ITEMS ---------------------------------------- "Experience Up" type items increase troop class experience (Infantry, Archers, Cavalry, or Special) by an amount defined by the item (e.g. Exp UP - Archer Type +30) allowing you to select stronger troop types. Also see the troop type trick at the bottom of this page. Arbalest Abilities Up - Archer type Exp +30 Occupy Cheng Du Book of Arms Abilities Up - Special type Exp +30 Occupy Xiang Yang Harness Abilities Up - Cavalry type Exp +30 Occupy Tian Shui Pike Abilities Up - Infantry type Exp +30 Occupy Pu Yang SECTION V - SKILL ALTERATION ITEMS ---------------------------------------- "Skill" type items allow you to change the Skill of the equipping officer (e.g. Giving Xu Shu the Crescent changes his skill to Menace). A complete list of all possible skills along with their functions can be found in the manual. Also note that some officers don't need the item they originally come with in order to have that skill (e.g. Guan Yu and Cao Cao). You can safely take their items away without changing their skill. The 6 Books Skills - Change to Strategy Occupy Wan 3 Strategies Skills - Change to Wile Occupy Ye Arabian Skills - Change to Speed Occupy Jiou Chuan Blue Dragon Skills - Change to Might Guan Yu (take with high combo) Crescent Skills - Change to Menace LY Bu (take with high combo) Lao Tzu Skills - Change to Hero Yuan Shao (take with high combo) Legends Skills - Change to Fortitude Occupy Bei Ping Meng De Skills - Change to Overlord Cao Cao (take with high combo) Mo Tzu Skills - Change to Guard Occupy Ru Nan On Archery Skills - Change to Strategy Huang Zhong (take with high combo) On Policy Skills - Change to Diplomat Occupy Ping Yang On Valor Skills - Change to Zeal Occupy Ling Ling Sun Tzu Skills - Change to Genius Occupy Jian Ye War Manual Skills - Change to Spy Occupy Han Zhong Wu Tzu Skills - Change to Support Occupy Yun Nan Xun Tzu Skills - Change to Fame Occupy Xia Pi SECTION VI - TROOP TYPE TRICK ---------------------------------------- Go to an officer that is of the same troop type as a troop type experience- enhancing item you already own. Equip the item to increase their class experience. Now, upgrade the officer's troops to a better version of his troop type (e.g. Cavalry to Brigadiers). Now go back and unequip the type- enhancing item. Your officer will still have the better troop class, even though he isnIt using the item. You can go from one officer to the other in your army increasing the troop types with no limit. You can even equip new items without loosing the prematurely enhanced troop type.
