Ixion Mail

The Ixion Mail is an Armor-class piece of armor found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. As an Armor-class item, it can be equipped by the warrior-style Adepts Isaac, Garet, Felix, and Piers in The Lost Age, and by Matthew, Tyrell, and Eoleo in Dark Dawn. The Ixion Mail increases base Defense by 26. In addition, it increases the equipped Adept's Jupiter Resistance and Mercury Resistance by 20 each. Its buy value is 1300 coins and its sell value is 975.

In Golden Sun: The Lost Age, it is found in a treasure chest in the Alhafran Cave, in an area that can be reached by casting Lash on a nearby rope to come up to a ledge with three chests. As this can be found just after the boss battle with Briggs, it is a valuable find at that point in time. If Felix is already equipped with a Psynergy Armor, however, the Ixion Mail probably isn't as valuable for him to wear as Psynergy Armor, which provides a very useful PP boost. However, keep it in your inventory nonetheless, because later in the game, when Piers first joins your party at the Gabomba Statue, this will be an automatic improvement over the Chain Mail he will be wearing. If you plan on buying Plate Mails as soon as you gain access to the Great Eastern Sea, though, this probably won't remain equipped on your party for very long.

In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, it is found in The Ouroboros. When it is obtained, it is highly effective, but it soon faces competition from Psynergy Armor, which can be bought in unlimited quantities in Passaj as soon as the dungeon is cleared. If the Ixion Mail remains in use over Psynergy Armor, it can remain in use on one warrior Adept even as the other equips the Spiked Armor found in the same dungeon, and will probably be preferred on that Adept over the Armored Shell that can be found in the same dungeon, but when better armors such as Steel Armor and Planet Armor become available, the Ixion Mail will be too far behind to be of any real use.
