Orichalcum

Orichalcum is a recurring item in the Dragon Quest series. It is a special metallic substance that is very rare and precious. It is typically used to create powerful weapons and/or armor in the games in which it appears. This is done using processes such as alchemy and sword tempering.

Dragon Quest IX

In Dragon Quest IX, orichalcum is a key ingredient in many high level alchemy recipes. It can be acquired in treasure chests of rank 9 and 10 in treasure map grottos. It can also be purchased for 15 mini medals a piece from Cap'n Max Meddlin' after completing his initial requirement for medals collected. A lump of it can also be found inside a red chest in the cave on the lonely coast, and another near apus major's throne in a red chest.
