Best Equipment for max stats, etc. team?

[AcerUp]

For every character going through every class, having max stats, what would be the best damage per turn/defense equipment setup? Preferably not using any moves that require money.

DQIX had an easy setup for that, but I'm not certain on this one. I noticed the falcon blade being far less useful.

Merchant's Call to Arms is apparently better than Monster Wrangler's Monster Pile-On from Lv. 60 onwards.

War Drum (AoE Oomph item) + Wild Side + Falcon Blades (Merchant, Thief, Sage) + Persecutter is how you 2 turn Xenlon and 3 turn Grand Dragon, assuming you are at the 850 Attack maximum.

Duplic Hat (Mage, Sage, Gadabout) double casts all your spells to Fuddle or Snooze every boss in the game, sextuple/triple stack Ka/Sap (1.25x, 1.35x, 1.45x, 1.6x, 1.7x, 1.8x), or Kaboom for most encounters.
Every class but Hero, Warrior, and Martial Artist can equip the Goddess Shield for 25% magic and breath resistance.
Exotogas (Martial Artist, Priest, Sage, Thief, Monster Wrangler) acquired at 110/110 mini medals and farmed from Steely Statues in the Claw/Boomerang trial (0.5%) is 25% magic resistance and 40% sleep/paralysis/poison resistance, the best in the game when accessories are so ineffectual.
You'll still want Banishing Bells for Sap, sleep, and frighten resistance.

Only issue is that Priest/Sage can't equip Claws/Boomerangs while Thieves can't equip Axes/Staves for those post-game trials, but my final team comp was 2 Sages & 2 Thieves (3 Sages with the Aid an Adventurer mechanic).

Do you think it's worth getting Wild Side on every character?

If you don't have a sufficient attack stat, then the AI will default to Monster Pile-On as your most damaging move, so yes, you're killing two birds with one stone by getting Wild Side on everyone so you can at least kill those post-game superbosses within the turn limit.
And benching your Hero because they can't do any of the above.
