There are four equip-able items in Persona 4 that can be equipped to each character (with the exception of Rise). Each of these items, with the exception of Clothes, will boost a character’s Basic Stats in battle.
Weapons
Weapons are one of four equip-able items in Persona 4. Just as you would think, they are used for attacking Shadows.
New weapons can either be obtained through Side Quests, re-exploring Dungeons, or purchasing them from Daidara Metalworks in the Central Shopping District. Sell Materials obtained from winning battles to make new weapons available for sale.
If you wish to get the Ultimate Weapons, you’ll have to face The Reaper. The Reaper appears in dungeons after opening a certain amount of chests, or after spending a set amount of time on a dungeon floor. See the “Reaper becomes Reaped” Trophy or The Reaper page for more information.
Armor
Armor is one of four equip-able items in Persona 4. Just as you would think, they are used for protecting characters.
New Armor can either be obtained through Side Quests or purchasing them from Daidara Metalworks in the Central Shopping District. Sell Materials obtained from winning battles to make new armor available for sale.
