Mythril Silver

Mythril Silver is an advanced forgeable material introduced in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. It is described as "Legendary dwarven metal" in The Lost Age and as "Legendary phantasmal ore" in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. It is found in various areas after the Wings of Anemos are acquired, such as in Loho and Yampi Desert Cave, and can also be dropped very rarely from a Soul Army in the same cave (fell it with Jupiter Djinni to increase drop rate by four times). In Dark Dawn, it is a rare drop from Skinwalkers in the Snowdrift Shrine region and location, and the rumored drop rates are either a 1/128 or 1/256 drop, which can be increased by felling them with a Mars djinni. Being an Artifact, it can be sold and later repurchased. It can be bought for 2000 coins and sold for 1500 coins. It can be forged into the following highly powerful equipment:

Locations:
 * Loho When the cannon is activated, go to the south-west part of town where the dwarf use to be and use Scoop there.
 * Yampi Desert Cave Requires Scoop

Dark Dawn
The following items can be forged from Mythril Silver:
 * Levatine
 * Silver Longbow
 * Mythril Claw
 * Mythril Armlet
 * Mythril Clothes

There are about 7 Mythril Silver found lying around the world:
 * Teppe Ruins - Hidden behind a door that requires Crush.
 * Iceberg Outpost - Requires Growth and Grip.
 * Harapa - Requires Crush. Post-eclipse.
 * Lost Ship - On the eastern part of the deck.
 * Apollo Ascent - Found under a Crush-able rock.
 * Crossbone Isle - B2.
 * Otka Island - From the stair room, walk north twice.

An unlimited supply of Mythril Silver can be dropped by Skinwalkers from the icy north. Fell it with an offensive Mars Djinni to increase the chances.

Analysis
Several pieces of the Mythril Silver-forged equipment are among the best equipment in the game. The Mythril Clothes are a slightly-toned down Valkyrie Mail, but it can be worn by any Adept, the Mythril Helm is an ideal piece of headwear for offensive warrior Adepts, and the Psychic Circlet has a very high PP recovery rate (sure to be useful to any Psynergy-centered Adept). However, the Levatine can be outperformed by weapons with unleashes that multiply attack power, and the Mythril Armlet is ultimately an inferior form of the Riot Gloves.

However, since in Dark Dawn, Riot Gloves cannot be obtained, Mythril Armlet is the only hand armor aside from Aegis Shield that increases Unleash rate.

Trivia

 * Mythril Silver's description in The Lost Age ("Legendary dwarven metal") strengthens the apparent fact that the residents of Loho, where one piece of Mythril Silver can be found, are a race of dwarves.
