Magic Armor

This is a very simple question: Is there any real value at all in the Magic Armor? You have to have upwards of 500 rupees in your wallet for it to be really any useful, and it doesn't seem to have much purpose other than temporary invicibility.

Not really.

When you collect 60 poes and give them to Jovani (I think that's his name), he'll give you infinite rupees. So, technically you can become immortal (after giving the 60 poes and if the Magic Armor is equipped). I'd imagine it'd be fun zipping through the Cave of Ordeals with the Magic Armor on the entire time.

Invincibility is the only purpose of the Magic Armor (plus it looks better then the other tunics I suppose).

It's AWESOME! Magic armor is very helpful if you're low on life and hasn't gotten a heart in awhile. It's actually really cool. Now in TWW I just have to say that if you put that on and you have your mask that lets you see health and Skull hammer and your iron boots and magic armor you look like Blitzkreig Link. I was talkin about TP up until Now in TWW.

The magic armor really helps in the Cave of OrdealsEspecially when you have to fight three darknuts at the same time.

Okay wait, i'm confused.

1. How many rupees does it subtract?

2. When the guy gives you infinite rupees, how much does he give you? Do you have to give him 60 poes and be wearing the armor every time for him to do that or is the 60 poes just the first time and the rest, just go to him wearing the armor?

3. How many seconds pass when rupees are removed?

4. What's the maximum amount of rupees can Link have in this game?

The Giant Wallet can hold up to 1,000 rupees. I'm not sure how many rupees are subtracted per second while wearing the magic armor, but everytime you get hit, more rupees are taken then if you were just wearing it and not getting hit. Sorry, but I can't answer the other question because I haven't found all of the poes, so I'm actually curious about the unlimited rupees as well. Do you have infinite rupees, or do you have to visit Jovani (poe collector) regularly to refill you rupee bag?

Roughly 1 rupee every second. Plus it subtracts depending on how much damage you sustain (I don't know the exact amount of rupees it subtracts when you acquire damage though).

The magic armor is not involved in the mini-quest of killing and acquiring the poe spirits for Jovani. Once you collect 60 poe souls, talk to Jovani and you get an infinite amount of rupees (meaning, you can never run out). There isn't anything else to it (except finding the poes of course).

3. How many seconds pass when rupees are removed?

As I already stated, the average amount of rupees taken away when wearing the magic armor is 1 rupee for every second the passes by.

4. What's the maximum amount of rupees can Link have in this game?

Infinity (after you talk to Jovani after collecting 60 poe souls).

When you find all 60 poes and you get unlimited rupees, is your rupee meter just faded out at 1,000 and it never goes down? Or do you spend rupees at shops and use rupees while wearing the magic armor and when you need more rupees you have to go back to Jovani every time to get a refill?

Nope, no refills. You always have an infinite amount of rupees.

So once you have the infinite rupees and magic armor, as long as Link dons the armor, he's basically an immortal Hylian being walking on the face of Hyrule?

What happens if you switch from the magic armor to Link's green or blue tunic? Do you still have the infinite rupees? (Link's heart meter will deplete if he gets hit then)

Yep.

Yes, you'll always have an infinite amount of rupees.

...The infinite rupees and the magic armour are separate. Not having one won't alter the other.

How it works is this: Get 60 Poe souls, trade them in for infinite rupees. This means that you never run out. Ever. It's not infinite refills, it's an unlimited number always. This has nothing to do with the armour.

Once you get the magic armour you can wear it whenever you want. It consumes about 1 rupee every second, more when you get hit. If you have an infinite number of rupees it will never use them all, so it never has to turn off.

Nice, looks like I have to go poe huntin! I only have 25, so I have some work to do. I already beat the game, but I'm going for 100%.

Sweet! When i get the game, i'm SO going on a serious Poe hunt! I wonder where i get the Magic Armor...

You have to go through all of the proper actions to lead to the opening of the Malo-Mart Hyrule Castle Town Branch, the most annoying f***ing place in Hyrule. You buy it there for 598 rupees.

Are you saying that Malo Mart is the most annoying place, or the sidequest leading up to gaining the armor is annoying, because I rather enjoyed the actual store in Castle Town.

Hm.. This is very nice news, thus far my only complaint after a TP playthrough was the magic armor, why provide us with an -par- subquest only to give us a finite item, i.e the magic armor which drains your ruppees. It just felt like a really stupid desicion on nintendo's part, give us something truely awesome, but not really letting us use it. That would be like giving us the biggoron sword, but having it impede your mobility.

But now knowing that there is a way to get infinite ruppees, I have more respect for the game, it really pushes us to collect all 60 poes, what a nice subquest

I can't wait to run around hyrule with my magic armor and infinite ruppees.

Not that it matters, I'm just curious:
Is it possible to buy the Magic Armor from the original shop (pre-Malo Mart) with infinite rupees? It should be possible, seeing as 100,000 is entirely short of infinite. Has anyone tried?

I doubt it. Infinite rupees would mean your stock never goes down but to buy something for 100,000 rupees would have to mean you have a wallet that can hold that much...I think.

It's not infinite rupees.

It's an unlimited supply.

Your wallet still caps at 1,000.
