Quick Links

With combat such a central mechanic in Persona 4 Golden, it’s no surprise you’ll want to bring your team into dungeons and boss fights as well-equipped as possible. And while you can indeed find weaponry or armor, Master Daidara of Daidara Metalworks will make you new items for a different price – the items dropped by enemies after battles.

RELATED: Persona 4 Golden: Things Everyone Completely Missed

For the cost of the battle drops and some yen for his service, Master Daidara is your source for the best outfitting in the game. We’ve got all the info you’ll need on Daidara Metalworks in Persona 4 Golden down below!

How To Get New Gear From Daidara Metalworks

chie at the police station saying she'll bring yu and yosuke to daidara's metalworks in persona 4 golden

Beginning on 4/17, when the team decides they’ll need better weaponry if they intend to go through the Midnight Channel, you can visit Master Daidara at his shop in the South Shopping District.

Not only will he exchange battle loot for yen, but he’s also a capable craftsman, willing to forge armor, weapons, and accessories from them if you’d prefer.

He does charge in yen for each piece you commission, but his gear is some of the best in the game, so it’s typically well worth the price.

Speaking to Master Daidara at his shop will coax him into telling you what he needs for a piece of equipment, but you’ll need to talk to him a time of two first.

He’ll spend the first two chats commenting on the game’s story, depending on when you speak with him and what’s happening in the game then.

Master Daidara’s Weapon List

Below, you’ll find all the weapons that Master Daidara can make. He’s able to forge weapons for everyone in the Investigation Team, so we’ve broken down everyone’s weaponry by character.

In the tables, you’ll find the name of the items, the price in yen to have it made, the materials required, and any additional effects of the items, if applicable.

Master Daidara’s Accessories List

yosuke, chie, and yu in master daidara's metalworks in persona 4 golden

Finally, we’ve also got a list of the accessories you can ask Master Daidara to make for you and the team.

Be aware that accessories do not stack with passive skills.

For example, if you have a skill that lessens your chance of being afflicted with a status ailment, buying the accessory that also lessens the chance of those afflictions hitting will not double your luck in avoiding them.
