The Dracomace is a Staff-class (not Mace-class) weapon found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. It is acquired by finding a Rusty Staff in Islet Cave and bringing it to Sunshine the blacksmith in Yallam, where he will reforge it into the item.

Basic Description

The Dracomace is bought for 10,700 coins while its resale value is 7,875 coins.

The Dracomace carries a non-elemental attack rating of 128. This staff has the Unleash effect Aging Gas, which activates at a rate of 35% (which is standard) and converts the attack into a Jupiter-elemental attack with 45 extra attack points added, and the effect has a chance adding all of the damage done to the user's own HP.

The Dracomace, as a Staff-class item, can be wielded by Ivan, Mia, Jenna, and Sheba.

Analysis

The Dracomace is very powerful when you first obtain it. However, unlike other weapons in the Great Eastern Sea, although it may possibly remain in your possession for a brief period of time, it can also find a home in your inventory for a long period of time, due to Sheba and Mia's lack of variety in weaponry. Being located in Islet Cave, this staff can only be acquired once you possess the Sand Psynergy found as a reward for completing Gaia Rock. The Dracomace's healing effect is quite effective at keeping its wielder alive through battles without using other recovery measures, so you should equip it on whichever Adept does not have a healing Psynergy (many players have Jenna with her Aura Psynergy series available, so you might equip it on Sheba in that case, but Djinn arrangement would be a heavy influence otherwise).
