One of the biggest influences upon equipment in Golden Sun: The Lost Age is the presence of forgeable material. These all must be given to the blacksmith, Sunshine, in Yallam before a large proportion of the game’s most powerful equipment can be acquired. Sunshine can also reforge rusty items found throughout The Lost Age. You pay Sunshine's wife the price the created item would be bought for in a shop. In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, forgeable items can be taken to Obaba in Champa. She is located outside in the highest part of Champa and will forge your items for free.
