Dragovian Equipment

From Dragon Quest Wiki
The Hero displaying the full set in the 3DS version of VIII.

The Dragovian equipment is a fan term referring to the various rewards players can earn by fighting the Lord of the Dragovians at the Heavenly Dais. The items are different from the usual legendary equipment in that they have no impact on the story, and for carrying an oriental flair that matches the Dragovian culture instead of the typical western European style.
