Acquisition
Forged from Salamander Tail (TLA)

An Ardagh Robe (アーダーローブ, Ardor Robe?) is a Robe-class piece of armor found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age.

In Golden Sun: The Lost Age

It is acquired by giving a Salamander Tail to Sunshine the Blacksmith in Yallam, where he will randomly forge it into either that or four other Mars-based items. The chance of forging an Ardagh Robe from a Salamander Tail is 25%. The Ardagh Robe, as a Robe-class item, is wearable by Ivan, Mia, Jenna, and Sheba.

The Ardagh Robe is a natural choice for Jenna, if she is in her base class, to boost the power of her Cool Aura healing Psynergy, making it heal 40 more HP. She can also wear the Big Bang Gloves to add another 40 points of Mars Power, which, if she has all 9 Mars Djinn, would make her reach the 200 points Elemental Power cap. This way her Cool Aura would heal around 400 HP and her Mars Psynergy would do much more damage. The Mars Resistance boost would also help against some endgame bosses that use Mars Based offenses.

It may also be advisable to give it to an Adept using a multi-element character class that includes Mars Psynergy, so that that Adept can use Mars Psynergy effectively while being able to use the Psynergy of the other elements of that class.
