Weapon and armor catalog
Stat bonuses and sources for 41 weapons and 40 pieces of armor. Check Poo's four royal items, weapons vulnerable to reflection, and late-game pendants.
Scope: Japanese SFC version (released August 27, 1994) / excludes changes specific to the English EarthBound and GBA MOTHER 1+2 / Content checked: October 2, 2026
Offense, Defense and protection against reflection
The table lists the equipment's own stat bonuses. Poo has special rules for royal equipment, so even items marked for everyone do not strengthen each character equally.
- The acquisition column lists representative sources, not every shop's stock at every stage or coordinates for every present.
- Some goods in Summers cost more than in other towns. Their performance is the same, so do not decide where to upgrade based only on your available cash.
