The '''ruinous shield''' is a recurring shield in the ''Dragon Quest'' series. This [[cursed]] black shield features an ominous design on the front. True to its name, equipping this shield will typically cause the wearer to take increased damage from many sources. In later games, it is possible to remove the curse from the shield with the use of [[Alchemy]] and some [[Saint's ashes]].

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
The ruinous shield is cursed and will set the wearer's defence to 0.

===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
The Shield can be found for sale in Greedmore for 5,300 gold.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
The ruinous shield is cursed and will increase damage taken from elemental attacks. It can be sold for 2,900 gold or be turned into a [[Metal king shield]] in the [[Alchemy Pot]]. The shield is rarely dropped by [[Hell's gatekeeper (recurring)|Hell's gatekeeper]]s, and can also be found in a chest on the [[Dark Ruins]] Island, only accessible with the [[Godbird's soulstone]].

Recipe: Metal King Shield = Ruinous Shield + [[Orichalcum]] + [[Saint's ashes]].

[[Image:DQ IV Mobile Overworld Inn.jpg|border|right|325px]]
An '''Inn''' is a recurring element of the {{DQSeries}}, appearing since the start. The player's party is able to rest the night at an inn, which will fully restore every party member's {{HP}} and {{MP}} and removes any negative [[status effect]]s. Almost all inns charge a fee in [[gold]] coins for this service, which increases as the player progresses through the storyline.

As of {{DQ3}}, staying at the Inn will change the time from [[Day-night cycle|night to day]], with {{DQ8}} adding the option to stay until the evening.
