	Orichalcum comes from Greek mythology, specifically Plato's tales of the fabled Atlantis.

Both the Sword of Light and [[Sword of Kings]] are needed if the player wishes to forge the optional but very powerful [[Supreme Sword of Light]]. In ''Dragon Quest XI S'', this more important lump is called ''rarefied'' orichalcum, probably to differentiate it from the less important chunks available in Act 3.

	Orichalcum is needed to reforge the [[Sword of ~~kings~~]]. To accomplish this, retrieve the unrefined ingot from the stables in [[Damdara]] and sell it to the [[Jipang\|Jipanese]] blacksmith in [[Kol]] for 22500G. The legendary sword can then be purchased from the town's item shop for 35000G.		Orichalcum is needed to reforge the [[Sword of Kings]].
