Best Accessories to Equip
Accessories fall into a few clear jobs. Pick the category that matches what the character does in your party, then check the tables below.
| Category | Top picks |
|---|---|
| Damage | Genji Gloves, Crest of Criticality, Moonlight Ring |
| Survival | Super Ribbon, Chocobo Down Charm, Protector's Seal |
| Magic and MP | Gold Hairpin+, Philosopher's Stone, Omega Badge |
| Farming | Adept's Armlet, Mastery Pendant, Foe Attractor |
| Bosses | Elemental resist and imbue accessories |
| Situational | Power Stone, Enchanted Ring, Warding Bell |
Best Accessories for Damage
| Accessory | What it does | Best on |
|---|---|---|
| Crest of Criticality | +50% crit rate on staggered foes | Breakers, physical attackers |
| Genji Gloves | +50% crit rate | Jake, Lasswell |
| Hermes Sandals | Permanent Haste | Anyone |
| Moonlight Ring | +10% magic damage | Sakura, Archwitch Fina |
| Ultima Reactor | More damage and stagger at high HP | Characters a tank protects |
Crit accessories shine on characters with crit passives from Cloud or Sephiroth. Hermes Sandals saves you from spending turns on Haste.
Best Accessories for Survivability
| Accessory | What it does | Best on |
|---|---|---|
| Vitality Charm | +120 HP | Rain, early game |
| Protector's Seal | HP, defense and Protect at low HP | Tanks |
| Chocobo Down Charm | Survive one lethal hit per battle | Your key attacker |
| Super Ribbon | Blocks every status ailment | Healers |
| Precognizant Beads | 20% physical evasion | Fragile mages |
| Zephyr Cloak | 20% magic evasion | Front liners |
| Protect Ring | Permanent Protect | Anyone |
| Reflect Ring | Permanent Reflect | Against spell casters |
| Angel Ring | Permanent Regen | Tanks |
The ring trio of Protect, Reflect and Angel saves turns you would spend buffing. If you have none of these yet, Vitality Charm is a fine stopgap.
Best Magic and MP Accessories
| Accessory | What it does | Best on |
|---|---|---|
| Gold Hairpin+ | Half MP cost, +60 magic attack, +20% Speed | Any mage |
| Omega Badge | Big MP cost cut for magic and skills | Heavy casters |
| Philosopher's Stone | 5% MP back every turn | Fina, Nichol |
| Arcane Pendant | 5% MP back on each stagger | Magic Breakers |
| Blessed Pendant | +20% healing magic | Fina |
Spell-heavy builds like Magic Barrage drain MP fast, so one of these is close to required. Gold Hairpin+ does the most at once.
Best Farming and Leveling Accessories
| Accessory | What it does | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Adept's Armlet | Double EXP | Leveling |
| Mastery Pendant | Double MRP | Vision Mastery Ranks |
| Mastery Ring | +100% MRP in battle, max 10 | Vision Mastery Ranks |
| Foe Attractor | More random encounters | Any farming |
| Adept's Monocle | 10% LB on each stagger | Faster Limit Bursts |
Put Adept's Armlet or Mastery Pendant on whoever needs to catch up, then add Foe Attractor so fights come to you. The EXP farming guide and MRP farming guide list the best spots.
Best Accessories for Boss Fights
Check a boss's element before the fight. Halve the damage it deals with a resist accessory, or give your physical attackers its weakness with an imbue accessory.
| Element | Halves damage taken | Adds element to physical attacks |
|---|---|---|
| Fire | Fire Sprite Earrings | Solar Pendant |
| Ice | Tiara of Frost | Snow Spirit's Scarf |
| Water | Aquatic Veil | Azure Amulet |
| Wind | Fujin's Fuda | Sylph's Tiara |
| Dark | Silver Key | Demon's Ring |
| Light | Scintillating Ring | None |
Boss weaknesses and elements are listed on the bosses page. If you lack the right piece, any resist accessory that fits the boss still helps.
Best Situational Accessories
| Accessory | What it does | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Power Stone | Half an LB gauge at the start | Builds that open with a Limit Burst |
| Enchanted Ring | Buffs last one turn longer | Nichol and other buffers |
| Hermes Sandals | Permanent Haste | Strong openings |
| Warding Bell | Half as many encounters | Exploring |
| Dragon Seal | No random encounters | Backtracking |
Take Warding Bell and Dragon Seal off before you farm, since they cut the fights you are looking for.
