The '''bamboo lance''' is a recurring spear in the {{DQSeries}}. It is very cheap, but not very powerful and only meant to get players by at the very start of an adventure.
The '''Bamboo lance''' is a recurring [[Spear Weapon Family|spear]] in the {{DQSeries}}. It is a simple weapon made from a length of bamboo cut diagonally at the end into a sharp point.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
This spear is a primitive weapon made from a length of bamboo sharpened to a point at the end. In some of the games, the spear or pole has some cloth wrapped around it as a rudimentary grip for ease of use. Typically it is one of the weakest, if not the weakest, weapon that appears in the game. Eventually, this position would be taken by the [[Cypress stick]] in later games.
This lance is often the weakest weapon of its type and can be purchased from the weapon shops in many early-game villages. It is long enough to be wielded in both hands and has a simple cloth grip at the base. These lances are the favoured weapons of [[Bambooligan]]s.
 
In the Japanese versions of the games, the bamboo pole from the original {{Dragon Quest}}, the bamboo spear from {{V}} to {{VII}}, and the bamboo lance that appeared in {{IX}} and {{X}} are considered three different weapons, but for the sake of simplicity, all three weapons have been combined for this article.

Due to text restrictions in the {{Game Boy Color}} remake of {{Dragon Quest}}, the bamboo pole was renamed to '''Bamboo''' with a picture of a pole beside it. Additionally, {{Hero 1}} starts his quest with it in the [[Cell phone]] and {{Switch}} versions of the game, although it is not equipped.
