• First sold in Tolbi (GS) • First sold in Izumo (TLA) • Starts on Mia without password (TLA)

In Golden Sun, it is sold by weapon vendors in Tolbi, Lunpa, and Lalivero, and can be equipped by Isaac, Garet and Mia. When it can be first bought in Tolbi, it should not be bought because a superior Mace artifact, a Grievous Mace, can be won freely as a prize in the nearby Tolbi Spring, as well as other strong weapon artifacts such as the Assassin Blade, a Light Blade artifact with higher base Attack power and an Unleash effect that may instantly kill an enemy.

In The Lost Age, War Maces are sold in the towns of Izumo and Contigo, and can be equipped by Felix, Sheba, and Piers. It should not be bought at the first opportunity in this game either because of the frequency that the traveling party finds newer and stronger weapons throughout the game. As an example, available at Izumo's vendor are several weapon artifacts that are noticeably stronger than a typical War Mace, such as a Shamshir and Ninja Blade.

If this game is being played without any data transfer or with a Password that's either Bronze or Silver-level, when Isaac's party joins Felix's Mia will be equipped with a War Mace, which is of course far inferior to the equipment Felix's party will surely have amassed by that point.

Acquisition
• First sold in Belinsk (DD)

In Dark Dawn, the War Mace is sold in Belinsk, Port Rago, Harun Village, Yamata City, and Tonfon, and can be equipped by Matthew, Tyrell, Eoleo, and Rief. It gains three Unleashes: Critical Strike (かいしんのいちげき, Critical Hit^?), Rolling Attack (ローリングアタック, Rolling Attack^?), and Berserk Rush (こんしんのいちげき, Whole-Body Blow^?). Critical Strike and Berserk Rush are non-elemental physical attacks that do 1.5 and 1.6 times more damage, respectively, than a standard attack. Rolling Attack is a Jupiter-based Attack that does 10% more damage than a standard attack and may hit up to three adjacent targets.

In Dark Dawn, the War Mace is outclassed by the Grievous Mace that can be found earlier, as well as other weapons later found throughout Morgal.
