Guardian Armlet

A Guardian Armlet is a Bracelet-class piece of armor found in Golden Sun. Visually, the Guardian Armlet resembles, oddly enough, a green glove.

Basic Description
A Guardian Armlet increases the wearer's base Defense by 27 points, and it can be Used to duplicate the effect of the Guard Psynergy and boost the Defense rating of one Adept by 25% during battle (a maximum boost of 50% can be attained by using this twice). It is bought for 2600 coins while its resale value is 1950.

The Guardian Armlet is acquired randomly as a prize from Tolbi's Lucky Medal Fountain. As a bracelet, it can be worn by Ivan and Mia, and if transferred to The Lost Age, it can also be worn by Jenna and Sheba.

Analysis
This armor is one of the many pieces of equipment that can be won at Tolbi's spring and be used to outfit your party, replacing their outdated equipment. Some might fault this for being only a minor improvement to the standard-issue Heavy Armlets that can be bought at Tolbi's normal vendors, but that in itself may be considered an advantage because if you redeem your Lucky Medals at Tolbi Spring before shopping at the normal vendors (which is always what you should do when you first come to Tolbi) and get a Guardian Armlet, you will not need to buy a Heavy Armlet for whoever will wear this instead. Players in general rarely Use the Guardian Armlet for boosting defense; however, it can be kept in the party as it is not required to equip the Guardian Armlet to Use it in battle.
