I. Introduction
------------------
This is my first FAQ so my skills are not as devolved as others, plus practice
makes perfect!
This FAQ is about unlocking all 72 special items in Romance of the Three
Kingdoms 7. The average player isn't likely to unlock all 72 items. So if
you want to unlock all of the items this is the FAQ for you! One other reason
you might want to get 100% in the ''Sites'' and ''Items Collection'' is
because you can break the bonus limit in the character edit mode. Meaning
that you could have a greater chance of getting better skills with your edited
officer. I cannot guarantee that you can get every item by doing what my FAQ
says, but you will be more than likely to.
Getting all of the special item isn't the most easiest task, but it shouldn't
be to hard either. Once you do you can bag to all of your friends!
----------------------------------
II. Tips and Useful Information
----------------------------------
Okay! Well if you want to get all 72 special items you are going to need
to know a few things. Its not likely to unlock all 100% of the items in just
one time through out the game. I had to play and beat the game with many
characters. You won't have to do that since you have this FAQ! Well, you might
have to play it two or three times. The first thing to know is to get the
"Trade" skill. What the trade skill dose is cut the cost of anything you buy
by 30%. Here is a example ,1,000 = 700, or 5,000 = 3,500. So the higher the
price the higher the discount.
If I would recommend a person to play as to collect as many items as
you can it would be Cao Cao in the later scenarios . The reason I say this
is because he has many items to begin the game with, also he has the rare
Imperial Seal. Other way to get more items is by seizing items from the
officers that serve you. To "seize" items for a officer you must be a liege.
There is a price to pay though, it lowers your officers loyalty buy 10-15
points. So after a battle you lose that officer is likely to join the other
liege that beat you in battle.
If you want to unlock just one specific item, there is a way. The way
is playing the game with a officer that holds that item e.g Guan Yu hold the
Black Dragon so start the game with him. Then save the game and that item
should be in you item collection. You do not, have to beat the game with that
character in order to put that item in your item collection.

III. Steeds
------------
Steeds are very useful items. All steeds are pretty much the same they have
the same skills, Retreat, and Dash. If you Duel a lot a steed is very useful,
for the Retreat skill lets you escape from a duel just if you need to retreat
from a duel. You can get most steeds from the merchant.

IV. Weapons
----------------
Weapons are great items for the warrior type player. All weapon type items
rise your war by a certain amount. You can buy lower type weapons in the
beginning of the game, this will help you if your War is a little low. If
you ever come across a Sword of Light, or a Sword of Heaven, I high recommend
you to buy it. I consider them some of the best items in the game. They rise
your War by +10. If you already have one sword you don't need to buy the other
sword. If you have an add-on +10 you can't rise that certain stat any higher.

V. Books
-------------
Books are very important there are more rarer than some weapons. Most books
rise your Int, and might give you a skill. If you have low Int or Pol then
consider buying one of them. The Way of Peace and the Book of Illusion are
in my opinion the best Int books you can get. They rise your Int by +10 and
give you the rare skill "Mystic". The Chun Qiu Annals and The Grand History
are also in my opinion the best Pol books you can get. Both books rise your
Pol by +10.
