The '''Saint's Equipment''' (聖者の装置) is a fan term referring to the set of legendary equipment found in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. Named after the demi-gods that feature prominently in the lore of the game, each item corresponds to one of said deities and the element they embody. These powerful items are teased to the player in the [[Shrine of Mysteries]] with carvings of their likeness serving as puzzle pieces.
