Bamboo lance

The bamboo lance is a recurring spear in the Dragon Quest series. It is a simple weapon made from a length of bamboo cut diagonally at the end into a sharp point, with that stabbing edge being the only feature to differentiate it from the laundry pole.

Characteristics

This lance is often the weakest weapon of its type and can be purchased from the weapon shops in many early-game villages. It is long enough to be wielded in both hands and has a simple cloth grip at the base. Naturally, these lances are the favoured weapons of bambooligans.
