The windbraker has been in the royal family of Moonbrooke's possession for some time. During his youth, the King of Moonbrooke even used it to glide from the castle's tallest tower for many leagues before deciding to lock it away in the Pillar of Winds.
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past (Nintendo 3DS)[edit]
Reappearing after a long absence, the windbraker is an accessory that the Hero, Maribel, Ruff, Sir Mervyn, and Aishe can equip. It increases Agility by +50, and boosts evasion by 33.3%. It is received as a reward for completing the Dave Jones' Locker DLC Tablet.
Dragon Quest of the Stars[edit]
The windbraker appears as a cosmetic top obtainable in the Guided by Rubiss' Light permanent event. It's a purely cosmetic item, with a base Defence of +14 and Agility of +7.
