Basic Information

• Exploration Tools, or L-Rods, are tools used to find hidden artifacts in Iria. They are required to use the L-Rod Exploration and Land Maker actions.
  • Normal L-Rods are only capable of using L-Rod Exploration. Cold/Warm Wind and Snowfield L-Rods can use both L-Rod Exploration and Land Maker.
• While equipped, when a player nears a hidden artifact, the L-Rod emits one to four beeping sounds as well as white flashes.
  • Beeping number and sound and L-Rod flashes intensifies as the player nears the object.
  • Enabling Mini Effects disables the L-Rod flashes.
    • Having this enabled as well as sounds disabled may make discovery more difficult.
• Samhain (Saturday) increases the L-Rod's detection range.
  • This may make it harder for players who are used to the normal shorter range, as it more possible for multiple targets to overlap.
  • It states that "The accuracy increases over time." However that is a typo; it means that Samhain increases the detection range of the L-Rods for the day, not over time.
  • The standard range of the L-Rod is equivalent to the covered area that you walked on the map.
• All L-Rods can only be equipped on the right hand.
• Any left hand items cannot be equipped in conjunction with an L-Rod.
• All L-Rods are classified as ineffective weapons.
