Dwarven village treasure Search the dwarven village to find two treasure chests with valuable items and a priest. The two valuable items that may be found here are the white ring and the demon rod. You can use the demon rod with certain people, but do not equip it or you will become cursed. The white ring is similar to a protect ring. It raises the defense and has a heal spell which effects the same area of effect as a Bolt 2 spell and restores fifteen hit points to whomever it hits. The white ring will crack and break if used too many times. Finally, save your money before entering the dwarven village. It costs 5,000 gold coins per weapon made, no matter what type.

This includes Zeon.
