Okay, so I finally finish the Skull Castle and go back to town
to cash in on my loot.

Low and Behold, I totally forgot about getting that Goshin's sheild
for the Fighter Guild. I did find and dispatch him in the castle and I
remember a shield being dropped. But at the time, I was so full of loot
I just ignorned it and I had forgotten that I had this quest (easy to do, huh?).

I tried to go back but of course, the sheild was gone. It seems this game likes to delete item drops (understandable to save memory), but certain quest items should be flagged as NON-deletable.

Anyway, I really don't feel like reloading from before to do the Skull Castle and I want to know if I am missing anything BIG (like an ability) from not advancing to the final levels of the fighter's guild. My main guys have already completed every quest before so what will I miss out on?
