The sword of light is tied to the story of the game's second act and must be forged in the fires of [[Mt. Huji]] from a specific chunk of [[Orichalcum]] found in the depths of [[The Battleground]]. The only tool suitable for the job is [[The forging hammer|The Forging Hammer]], which is owned by the [[Sultan of Gallopolis]]. The sword can be reforged into even more powerful forms, being the [[Super sword of light]] and the [[Supreme sword of light]].

The Sword of Light is a forged replica of the Super Sword of Light. After [[Mordegon]] steals and corrupts the Super Sword of Light, the party learn thanks to the seedlings in Havens Above how to make another Sword of Light. The materials needed are Orichalcum found in the Overlooked Cavern in The Battleground and the Forging Hammer of Gallopolis. Once the materials are gathered, it is finally forged in the Crucible located in the volcano of Hotto.

Although the Sword of Light doesn't have to be used in battle, obtaining it is necessary to complete the game, as it breaks the barrier around the Fortress of Fear.

The Super Sword of Light is the original Sword of Light that was sealed away in the Heart of Yggdrasil after Erdwin's death. It can only be obtained in the post-game. Once the player beats Jasper, the Luminary successfully acquires the Super Sword of Light.

Erdwin wearing all but his shield
The Erdwin Equipment is a set of powerful armaments from Dragon Quest XI once belonging to the Luminary of Legend, Erdwin. The Luminary, being a reincarnation of Erdwin, is the only one that can equip the items.
Just like Erdwin himself, the set is essentially modeled after the equipment belonging to The Hero of Dragon Quest III, and consists of a coronet, a tunic, and a sword and a shield. Despite the seemingly mundane nature of the tunic and coronet, the set is easily amongst the best in the game.
Erdwin's shield is the reward for presenting 100 mini medals to principal Maxime Médaillé at L'Académie, with most players accomplishing this in the third act of the game. Erdwin's tunic and coronet are found within different sections of the Luminary's Trial portion of Drustan's Labyrinth; the tunic is found in a chest behind a giant door with a red sigil located on the dungeon's first floor first floor and the coronet is on the third floor.
