The Yardstick (ものさし, Monosashi) is an item in Suikoden. It can be found in Kirov and its only use is to trade it for Salt as part of the fetch quest to recruit Sarah.
Information
A very common tool used to measure the length of objects. As there was no common system of weights and measures, such tools varied widely. As such, it was considered useful only for drawing straight lines and directly comparing lengths.
When McDohl attempted to recruit Sarah in Kirov by getting her some Soap, he had to embark on a series of trades in the city. As part of this, McDohl traded the Sugar he bought in the Kirov item shop for the yardstick which, in turn, he traded for Salt.
