The Mighty Armlet is a recurring accessory in the Dragon Quest series that first appeared in the Super Famicom remake of Dragon Quest III. It gives a considerable boost to the wearer's attack power.

The Mighty armlet is only available in the remake versions of III, has an Attack bonus of +15, and changes the wearer's Personality to Paragon. It can be equipped by all vocations. The armlet is found in a treasure chest in Aliahan castle behind a door that requires the Magic Key to open. It can be sold for 3,375 gold, but it is not recommended to do so as there is only one in the game.

The Mighty Armlet has a Strength bonus of +25 (Attack in the PS1 version) and can be equipped by all characters. One is found in a treasure chest in the Doorway to Nadiria and another is received as a reward for turning in 47 Mini medals at Minikin's Dominion. It can also be dropped rarely by Juggulars. More armlets can be purchased from the final stage of Pioneer Town for 37,000 gold and sold for 3,700 gold.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]
