Find the hidden Earthen Drums in Final Fantasy III and check out the shops! Learn about the best gear like the Feathered Hat and powerful Harps for your Bard.
Alright, let's talk about getting some sweet gear and a couple of hidden goodies. First up, we're looking for the Earthen Drums. These things are awesome because they let you cast the super powerful Quake spell for free. Head north in town and listen in on the folks talking about Chocobos and items. You'll find the two hidden Earthen Drums nearby.
Now, let's check out the shops. The weapon shop has some really interesting stuff, especially if you've got a Bard in your party. Each harp lets them use a different Song. The Madhura Harp boosts Defense, the Loki Harp boosts Attack, the Lamia Harp deals damage, and the Dream Harp heals HP. These buffs are usually around 10-20% of your actual stats. If you're really investing in your Bard, grabbing one of each isn't a bad idea, but if you're short on Gil, the Loki or Dream Harps are solid choices.
Over in the armor shop, you'll find the Feathered Hat. Seriously, this is one of the best hats available right now for pretty much anyone. While there are other hats like the Viking Helm or Dragon Helm that are technically better, they're usually super job-specific. The Feathered Hat is a great all-around choice.
You'll also see the Gaia Vest, which is great for Geomancers, and the Bard Vest for Bards. Both are good, but again, tied to specific jobs. The Rune Bracers are a good pick-up for your magic-users. They help prevent some status ailments, boost magical stats, and are a solid investment for your mages.
Once you're done shopping and have grabbed those Drums, it's time to head out of town.
