Rusty Sword Rusty Axe Rusty Mace Rusty Staff Rusty items are a small class of items introduced in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. They are unique weapons that are extremely weak when first found, but if you have Sunshine the blacksmith in Yallam take a look at a rusty item he will offer to reforge it into the rare weapon artifact it's meant to be. If you do, he will take it and will be done as soon as you leave and reenter the town, at which point his wife will give it to you, for a price of course (though in the English version of the game the price is not stated).

They return in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, where they are instead forged by Obaba in Champa. The forging process is mostly identical between the two games; however, Obaba does not charge the player, instead giving the forged equipment for free.
