Final Fantasy I Items

Final Fantasy's item setup might seem simple, but really, it's not bad for its' time. You have a decent selection of items here, plus a sizeable collection of key items - items necessary for plot progression, like the Lute or the Oxyale. As we recall, you didn't see key items being catalogued separately again until Final Fantasy VI, almost seven years later. Not bad, eh? We'd like to thank Brian of the now-semi-closed FFClassic for providing the basis for the great item descriptions.

Oh, by the way, does anyone else remember how they made a big deal out of how the Light Warriors carried all these items in a magical bag, and that accounted for how they could carry so many? Oh, and the items were magical too! Man, Sakaguchi was on something back in the day. It didn't start to make sense until Final Fantasy IV, when you could start stashing stuff inside a bird.

Regular Items

Antidote	Locations	Description
	Buy From: Various Stores	Antidotes are important in the beginning of the game. Your party will be poisoned frequently around Elfheim and Melmond. Keep a lot of these handy, just in case; there's nothing worse than being stranded far from town, poisoned, with no way to cure yourself. Once you get Poisona, however, the Antidote loses its importance.

	50
Cottage	Locations	Description
	Buy From: Various Stores	The Cottage is like an Inn that can be used anywhere (at least, anywhere on the world map). It restores quite a bit of HP and it also restores MP, in addition to saving your game. BEWARE: it restores your MP AFTER it saves your game, so your party will NOT have restored MP in your save game unless you use a Tent right after you use a Cottage (this may be a programming mistake, but that's life. Always use a Tent right after you use a Cottage). Although the Cottage is a very useful item, at 3000G apiece, you'll not be using them much until later in the game, when G is more abundant.

Gold Needle	Locations	Description
	Buy From: Various Stores	Gold Needles are essential when fighting monsters who use petrification attacks, like Cockatrice and Medusa. If all four of your party members are petrified, the game is over, so Gold Needles are even more important than Antidotes when you are far from town. The spell Stona is a level 6 spell, so you won't be getting it for quite awhile; you'll be relying upon Gold Needles for quite some time.
	Cost
	500
Hi-Potion	Locations	Description
	Buy From: Various Stores	Hi-Potions are like regular Potions, but higher. They're good for 150HP.

Sleeping Bag	Locations	Description
	Buy From: Various Stores	The Sleeping Bag is an inexpensive and effective way of saving your game when you are far from town. The HP it restores will be helpful in the beginning of the game, but even towards the end of the game, the Sleeping Bag is still a great way to save your game quickly.
