The '''Meteorite Bracer''' (translated from Japanese as '''Shooting Star Bracelet''') is a recurring accessory in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. A band from beyond the stars and past the moon, it bolsters the wearer's [[agility]] an incredible amount.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
The bracer is hidden in the depths of the [[Isis]] palace and doubles agility. As half a character's agility is factored in to the calculation for their defense stat, the accessory indirectly increases durability as well in all versions of ''III''.
===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
The Meteorite Bracer is a prize in the [[Endor]] casino and requires 10,000 tokens to nab. It doubles agility as before, but no longer increases defense in the NES version despite agility having the same specifications in that version as in ''III''.

The NES version is called Meteorite Armband and it can be bought for 4000 coins at Endors casino, it doubles agility.

===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
The meteorite bracer doubles agility and is found in [[Gotha]] castle and may be purchased in the shop tiles on the bonus dungeon's [[T'n'T]] board for 6,500 gold.

===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
The bracer is trickier to get in ''VI'', requiring the player to travel to the [[Lower World]]'s version of [[Amor]] once the [[Flying Bed]] is acquired. It doubles agility as usual.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
The meteorite bracer is a [[casino]] prize in the original PSX version of the game, and costs 15,000 tokens in the "grand slum" version of the [[immigrant town]]. It doubles the agility of every character save for [[Kiefer]].
*Due to the town being reworked significantly in the 3DS version, the bracer is found in the [[Cathedral of Blight]] instead.

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
The Meteorite Bracer is an accessory that bestows +50 agility. [[Princess Minnie]] bestows it upon the party once they present her with 60 [[Mini medal]]s.

The [[Alchemy]] recipe for the bracer is: Agility ring + Agility ring + Orichalcum

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
The meteorite bracer is an accessory that bestows +100 agility and is given to the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|hero]] by captain Max Meddlin' in exchange for 50 medals.

The alchemy recipe for the bracer is: Gold bar + Agility ring x2 + Lucida shard x3

===''[[Dragon Quest XI]]''===
The Meteorite bracer boosts agility by +100 and can be equipped by all party members. It is found in a treasure chest on the first floor of the [[Fortress of Fear]]. Note that the treasure chest is behind a door that is initially blocked by one of the red sigils, so the party cannot acquire it as soon as they enter the Fortress.

===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below]]''===
The meteorite bracer increases the wearer's movement speed by forty percent. It can be sold for 500 gold. It is described as "Rousing wristwear that makes the wearer move mega-fast."

===''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]''===
Meteorite bracers can be crafted in a furnace using the recipe of ten gold and five silver. It increases movement speed when worn.

==Description==
*'''A mystical bracer that allows the wearer to move at a blinding speed.''' (Description when selecting the Meteorite bracer in PS2 ''Dragon Quest VIII''.)

Orichalcum

'''Orichalcum''' (formerly localized as ''Oricon'' due to display constraints) is a key recurring item in the series. It is a mythical metal harder than any other known substance, 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 in Dragon Quest Swords|sword tempering]].
==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
Orichalcum is needed to reforge the [[Sword of kings]]. To accomplish this, retrieve the unrefined ingot from the stables in [[Damdara]] and sell it to the [[Jipang|Jipanese]] blacksmith in [[Kol]] for 22500G. The legendary sword can then be purchased from the town's item shop for 35000G.

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
Orichalcum is an ingredient of the alchemization items such as the [[Sage's Stone]], [[Meteorite Bracer]], [[Metal king shield]], [[Metal king armour]], [[Liquid metal sword]], [[Megaton Hammer]] and [[Goddess Ring]].

The almighty azure alloy can be found in the Godbird's Eyrie (light world), the Black Citadel, automatically dropped by [[Ruin]], exchanged for 83 [[Mini medal]]s, and found a chest in the post-game Heavenly Dais. Additionally, monsters [[Metal King Slime]] ({{fraction|1|256}}) and [[Pandora's Box]] ({{fraction|1|128}}). Using [[Yangus]]' ''Stainless Steal Sickle'' with the [[Skull helm]] will help against the latter, but will lower the acquirement rate to {{fraction|1|256}}.

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
Orichalcum is again a crucial component in several [[List of alchemy recipes in Dragon Quest IX|alchemy recipes]]. It can be acquired in treasure chests of [[List of treasure map treasure chest ranks in Dragon Quest IX|rank 9 and 10]] in treasure map grottos, found inside a red chest in the cave on the lonely coast, near Apus Major's throne in a red chest, purchased for 15 [[mini medal]]s a piece from [[Cap'n Max Meddlin']] after completing the standard reward list, and it can be dropped by a [[Gem Slime]] ({{fraction|1|256}}) as well as [[Greygnarl|Greygnarl (Grotto)]] (5%).
It is used to create:
*Metal Slime equipment
*Liquid Metal Slime equipment
*Metal King Slime equipment
*Erdrick's Equipment
*[[Orichalcum claws]]
*[[Orichalcudgel]]
*[[Sage's Stone]]

Game description:'' A highly prized mineral of magnificent hardness. Alchemise it!''

===''[[Dragon Quest XI]]''===
Orichalcum is a plot item in this game, required to forge the [[Sword of Light]]. It can be obtained in the [[Battleground]], specifically in the area labeled "Overlooked Cavern" on the map. The orichalcum is one of the three items the party needs to forge the Sword of Light (the other two being the [[Forging Hammer]] and [[Crucible key]]). Finding it also triggers a humorous cutscene in which [[Erik]] gets overexcited about its value.
{{spoiler|start}}
In Act 3, it is also possible to obtain smaller chunks of orichalcum as ingredients for certain late-game [[Fun-Size Forge]] recipes. These can be collected from sparkly spots behind a door in the Battleground locked with the [[Ultimate Key]]. It is necessary to give one of these chunks to the blacksmith in [[Hotto]] in order for him to forge the [[Sword of Kings]].
The important lump of orichalcum from Act 2 can also be regained in Act 3, by looking in the same spot as before, although no cutscene triggers. This is needed to reforge the Sword of Light in Act 3. Both the Sword of Light and Sword of Kings are needed if the player wishes to forge the optional but very powerful [[Supreme Sword of Light]]. In ''Dragon Quest XI S'', this more important lump is called ''rarefied'' orichalcum, probably to differentiate it from the less important chunks available in Act 3.
{{spoiler|end}}

===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime]]''===
Orichalcum is used as ammunition for the [[Schleiman tank|Schleiman Tank]], and may be used in alchemy to create other ammunition, such as the [[orichalcum slime]].

===''[[Dragon Quest Swords]]''===
{{stub}}

==Etymology==
Orichalcum comes from Greek mythology, specifically Plato's tales of the fabled Atlantis. The original word, ''Oreichalkos'', translates directly to "mountain copper", though the material is said to have been several times more durable. It's value was second only to gold, and it was used int he construction of sacred temples and government buildings.
