You know the diamond sword, right? Well, it's worth such a fortune that they have to wrap it in a bundle of feathers for sale so it don't scratch none. Of course, it's hard to imagine anything that would mar that blade. Why, if it did nick, I'd have to say it was a fake.

Diamond (ダイヤ, Daiya?) equipment is a recurring type of equipment in the series. It is usually among the stronger pieces of equipment, although not as strong as Crystal equipment or Genji equipment. In earlier installments, it was obtained directly after Ice equipment. The armor set is made up of a shield, helmet, and armor. Diamond Rings or Gauntlets also sometimes appear. Equipment of this gear is usually resistant to Lightning.

Template:Sideicon The Diamond Shield, Cuff, Helm, Hairpin, Vest, Armor and Sword make up the "Dazzling Diamond" subset of armor. All of these items are level 50 equipment, except for the Diamond Armor which is level 51. The shield, cuff, helm, armor and sword have upgraded forms with the "+" suffix. The "+" versions have the same stats as their counterparts, but have a level requirement of level 36 instead of level 50. When any of the three pieces are equipped at one time, the character activates the Dazzling Diamond combination, doubling the amount of AP they earn. All of the equipment pieces can be acquired by trading Diamonds in at the shop.
