Muni Robe

The Muni Robe is a Robe-class armor found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

Basic Description by Game
The Muni Robe increases the wearer's defense by 39. Additionally, the wearer recovers 10 HP at the end of each turn. It can be sold for 4725 coins and subsequently rebought for 6300 coins.

In The Lost Age, it is found in a treasure chest in Ankohl Ruins and can be equipped by Jenna and Sheba. After joining the party later on in the game, Ivan and Mia can equip it as well. In Dark Dawn, the Muni Robe is found in a closet located in a house in Belinsk, and can be equipped by Karis, Rief, Amiti, and Himi.

Analysis
In The Lost Age, the Muni Robe is considered a direct improvement over the Blessed Robe, which is sold in Champa and may already be in the party. The player may decide to equip the Muni Robe in place of the Blessed Robe, or give it to the other Adept so that both Jenna and Sheba have the benefit of automatic HP restoration.

In Dark Dawn, the Muni Robe is actually found before the Blessed Robe, though the Muni Robe can be easily missed due to its hidden location. By Defensive rating, it is the strongest Robe, and the second strongest Body armor available to mage-styled Adepts in the Morgal region. Since the Muni Robe can be found the first time players enter Belinsk, the Muni Robe becomes a solid piece of bodywear throughout the region. The Muni Robe's restorative abilities, however, will make it a valuable piece of equipment for a much longer time.

Cultural Reference
Muni is a Sanskrit term in various religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism for a sage or ascetic who has achieved higher worldly knowledge through self-realization and has often taken a vow of silence.
