This feature greatly enhances survivability, especially when coupled with the Gauntlets accessory. =============================================================================== 2-1 Swords =============================================================================== Swords are perhaps the most basic one-handed weapon, offering a solid mix of speed, consistency, and power. Your character's strength, the swords's attack rating, and the enemy's defense affect a sword's damage potential. All swords except for the Stoneblade add 5 to Evasion. Name: Mythril Sword LP: 5 License: SmallSwords Attack: 13 Cost: N/A Location: Vaan's starting weapon Name: Mythril Blade LP: 5 License: SmallSwords Attack: 22 Cost: N/A Location: Basch's starting weapon Name: Broadsword LP: 15 License: Swords 1 Attack: 15 Cost: 400 Location: Rabanastre, Giza Plains, Bhujerba Name: Longsword LP: 15 License: Swords 1 Attack: 19 Cost: 700 Location: Barnheim Passage, Bhujerba, Nalbina, Rabanastre Name: Iron Sword LP: 25 License: Swords 2 Attack: 24 Cost: 1200 Location: Rabanastre, Bhujerba, Nalbina Name: Zwill Blade LP: 25 License: Swords 2 Attack: 29 Cost: 1700 Location: Bhujerba, Rabanastre Name: Ancient Sword LP: 25 License: Swords 2 Attack: 35 Added Effect: Petrify Cost: 2400 Location: Rabanstre Name: Lohengrin LP: 40 License: Swords 3 Attack: 47 Cost: 4500 Location: Jahara, Mt Bur-Omisace, Rabanastre Name: Flametongue LP: 40 License: Swords 3 Attack: 53 Added Effect: Fire element Cost: 5200 Location: Jahara, Mt Bur-Omisace, Nalbina, Rabanastre Name: Demonsbane LP: 40 License: Swords 3 Attack: 59 Cost: 6000 Location: Rabanastre, Mt Bur-Omisace, Nalbina; treasure in the Tomb of Raithwall Name: Icebrand LP: 40 License: Swords 4 Attack: 65 Added Effect: Ice element Cost: 5200 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina, Mosphoran Highwaste; reward for completing the Ring Worm hunt Name: Platinum Sword LP: 40 License: Swords 4 Attack: 70 Cost: 9000 Location: Phon Coast, Archades Name: Blood Sword LP: 30 License: Blood Sword Attack: 41 Added Effect: Sap Cost: 5000 Location: Rabanastre Name: Bastard Sword LP: 50 License: Swords 5 Attack: 75 Cost: 11000 Location: Archades Name: Diamond Sword LP: 50 License: Swords 5 Attack: 80 Cost: 12500 Location: Balfonheim Name: Runeblade LP: 60 License: Swords 6 Attack: 85 Cost: 14500 Location: Balfonheim Name: Deathbringer LP: 60 License: Swords 6 Attack: 90 Added Effect: KO Cost: 16000 Location: Balfonheim Name: Stoneblade LP: 80 License: Swords 7 Attack: 95 Cost: 17800 Location: treasure in the Great Crystal upper level Bazaar: Taurus Gem x3, Orichalcum x2, Chimera Head x2 Name: Durandal LP: 80 License: Swords 7 Attack: 99 Cost: 21600 Bazaar: Lifewick x3, Emperor Scale x2, Leshach Halcyon x1 =============================================================================== 2-2 Daggers =============================================================================== Daggers gain speed over swords at the expense of attack power. Several daggers also have useful additional effects. A dagger's damage is determined by your character's strength and speed compared against the enemy's defense. All daggers add 5 to Evasion except Main Gauche which adds 34. Name: Dagger LP: 15 License: Daggers 1 Attack: 14 Cost: 200 Location: Rabanastre, Giza Plains, Bhujerba Name: Mage Masher LP: 15 License: Daggers 1 Attack: 19 Added Effect: Silence Cost: 700 Location: Rabanastre, Bhujerba, Nalbina Name: Assassin's Dagger LP: 20 License: Dagger 2 Attack: 25 Added Effect: KO Cost: 1400 Location: Rabanastre, Bhujerba Name: Chopper LP: 20 License: Daggers 2 Attack: 31 Added Effect: Sap Cost: 2200 Location: Rabanastre Name: Main Gauche LP: 30 License: Daggers 3 Attack: 38 Cost: 3500 Location: Rabanastre, Jahara Name: Gladius LP: 30 License: Daggers 3 Attack: 45 Added Effect: Wind element Cost: 4800 Location: Jahara, Mt Bur-Omisace, Rabanastre Name: Avenger LP: 35 License: Daggers 4 Attack: 52 Added Effect: Berserk Cost: 6000 Location: Rabanastre, Mt Bur-Omisace, Nalbina Name: Orichalcum Dirk LP: 35 License: Daggers 4 Attack: 59 Added Effect: Slow Cost: 8500 Location: Phon Coast Name: Platinum Dagger LP: 40 License: Daggers 5 Attack: 66 Added Effect: Immobilize Cost: 11500 Location: Archades Name: Zwill Crossblade LP: 40 License: Daggers 5 Attack: 73 Added Effect: Wind element Cost: 15000 Location: Balfonheim Name: Danjuro LP: 10 License: Danjuro Attack: 80 Cost: N/A Location: Larva Eater drops it =============================================================================== 2-3 Axes & Hammers =============================================================================== The axe and hammer class offers huge attack power with a twist: the damage variance is far less consistent than compared to other weapons. Although a sword may consistently strike a foe for 400-500 HP, an axe or hammer may strike that same foe for 800 HP or 30 HP! For this class of weapons, the weapon damage is determined by the following: your character's strength and vitality, the weapon's attack rating, and the enemy's defense. All axes add 6 to Evasion, while all hammers add 2 to Evasion. Axes also attack slightly faster than hammers. Name: Handaxe LP: 15 License: Axes & Hammers 1 Attack: 47 Cost: 2200 Location: Rabanastre Name: Iron Hammer LP: 15 License: Axes & Hammers 1 Attack: 53 Cost: 3300 Location: Rabanastre Name: Broadaxe LP: 20 License: Axes & Hammers 2 Attack: 59 Cost: 4200 Location: Jahara, Rabanastre Name: War Hammer LP: 20 License: Axes & Hammers 2 Attack: 65 Cost: 5200 Location: Mt Bur-Omisace, Jahara, Nalbina, Rabanastre Name: Slasher LP: 25 License: Axes & Hammers 3 Attack: 71 Cost: 6000 Location: Rabanastre, Mt Bur-Omisace, Nalbina Name: Sledgehammer LP: 25 License: Axes & Hammers 3 Attack: 77 Added Effect: Disable Cost: 7500 Location: Mosphoran Highwaste, Phon Coast Name: Hammerhead LP: 30 License: Axes & Hammers 4 Attack: 83 Cost: 9500 Location: Phon Coast, Archades Name: Francisca LP: 30 License: Axes & Hammers 4 Attack: 89 Cost: 11500 Location: Archades Name: Morning Star LP: 35 License: Axes & Hammers 5 Attack: 95 Cost: 13500 Location: Balfonheim Name: Greataxe LP: 35 License: Axes & Hammers 5 Attack: 101 Cost: 15500 Location: Balfonheim Name: Golden Axe LP: 40 License: Axes & Hammers 6 Attack: 110 Cost: 16200 Location: Dalmasca Estersand, Bazaar goods Name: Scorpian Tail LP: 70 License: Axes & Hammers 7 Attack: 119 Cost: 60000 Bazaar: Charged Gizzard x3, Wyrm Bone x3, Scorpio Gem x4 =============================================================================== 2-4 Maces =============================================================================== The damage a mace inflicts is based on the weapon's attack power, the magick power of the user, and the enemy's defense. That said, a support character geared entirely for magick power rather than strength or other stats will make good use of a mace. The ability to use a shield also enhances the survivability of those characters. All maces add 4 to Evasion. Name: Mace LP: 20 License: Maces 1 Attack: 24 Cost: 1800 Location: Rabanastre Name: Bronze Mace LP: 20 License: Maces 1 Attack: 30 Cost: 3000 Location: Rabanastre Name: Bhuj LP: 20 License: Maces 2 Attack: 36 Cost: 4100 Location: Jahara, Mt Bur-Omisace, Rabanastre Name: Miter LP: 20 License: Attack: Maces 2 Added Effect: Water element Cost: 5000 Location: Mt Bur-Omisace, Nalbina, Rabanastre Name: Thorned Mace LP: 25 License: Maces 3 Attack: 48 Added Effect: Poison Cost: 6500 Location: Mosphoran Highwaste, Phon Coast Name: Chaos Mace LP: 25 License: Maces 3 Attack: 54 Added Effect: Confuse Cost: 8800 Location: Archades Name: Doom Mace LP: 25 License: Maces 4 Attack: 60 Added Effect: Doom Cost: 11800 Location: Balfonheim Name: Zues Mace LP: 25 License: Maces 4 Attack: 66 Cost: N/A Location: reward for completing the Diabolos hunt; treasure in the Pharos Name: Grand Mace LP: 50 License: Maces 5 Attack: 72 Cost: N/A Location: reward for completing the Pylraster hunt =============================================================================== 2-5 Measures =============================================================================== These peculiar weapons function much like guns in that damage is calculated based solely on the weapon's attack power, completely ignoring the target's defense. They differ greatly, however, in that the target is often inflicted with beneficial status effects like Protect or Shell! As the attack rating for measures is generally low, they tend to function as a buffing tool. You can target your own party members with low-damage hits that serve to strengthen your party without the use of MP. All measures add 25 to Evasion while still allowing the use of a shield, making those who use measures hard targets indeed. Measures are more useful for those characters who are only used as support and unlikely to ever actually engage the enemy. If MP management is a concern, use measures to buff your party. and then swap them out for more conventional weaponry. Name: Gilt Measure LP: 15 License: Measures 1 Attack: 5 Added Effect: Protect Cost: 4000 Location: Jahara, Mt Bur-Omisace, Rabanastre Name: Arc Scale LP: 15 License: Measures 1 Attack: 10 Added Effect: Shell Cost: 5500 Location: Mt Bur-Omisace, Nalbina, Rabanastre Name: Multiscale LP: 25 License: Measures 2 Attack: 15 Added Effect: Bravery Cost: 8000 Location: Mosphoran Highwaste, Phon Coast Name: Cross Scale LP: 25 License: Measures 2 Attack: 20 Added Effect: Vanish Cost: 11000 Location: Archades Name: Caliper LP: 50 License: Measures 3 Attack: 26 Added Effect: Haste Cost: 14000 Location: Balfonheim Name: Euclid's Sextant LP: 50 License: Measures 3 Attack: 35 Added Effect: Bubble Cost: N/A Location: reward for completing the Wild Marlboro hunt _______________________________________________________________________________ 3-0 Two-Handed Weapons _______________________________________________________________________________ While two-handed weapons do not allow the use of a shield, they compensate for it by consistently inflicting more damage than one-handed weapons. Only axes and hammers approach the damage potential of two-handed weapons, albeit in inconsistently. Although it would seem natural that larger weapons would attack less quickly, this is not the case. In fact, most two-handed weapons attack just as quickly, and occasionally more quickly, than their one-handed counterparts. =============================================================================== 3-1 Greatswords =============================================================================== Greatswords don't start appearing until late in the game, but they are worth the wait. As the most consistently powerful weapons in Final Fantasy XII, these swords are at home in any damage-dealing character's hands. Greatsword damage is calculated based on your character's strength, the greatsword's attack rating, and the enemy's defense. Name: Sword of Kings LP: N/A License: Storyline Item Attack: 30 Evasion: 30 Cost: N/A Location: Storyline Item Name: Treaty-Blade LP: N/A License: Storyline Item Attack: 30 Evasion: 30 Cost: N/A Location: Storyline Item Name: Claymore LP: 50 License: Greatswords 1 Attack: 82 Evasion: 10 Cost: 10500 Location: Archades Name: Defender LP: 70 License: Greatswords 2 Attack: 91 Evasion: 35 Cost: 13000 Location: Balfonheim Name: Save the Queen LP: 70 License: Greatswords 2 Attack: 100 Evasion: 10 Cost: 15000 Location: Balfonheim; reward for completing the Goliath hunt Name: Ragnarok LP: 90 License: Greatswords 3 Attack: 109 Evasion: 10 Added Effect: Immobilize Cost: N/A Location: reward for completing the Ixion hunt Name: Ultima Blade LP: 90 License: Greatswords 3 Attack: 118 Evasion: 10 Cost: 22800 Location: treasure in the Pharos Penumbra Bazaar: Adamantite x2, Death Powder x2, Gnoma Halcyon x1 Name: Excalibur LP: 160 License: Excalibur Attack: 128 Evasion: 10 Added Effect: Holy element Cost: N/A Location: treasure in the Great Crystal Name: Tournesol LP: 255 License: Tournesol Attack: 140 Cost: 600000 Bazaar: Gemsteel x3, Empyreal Soul x3, Serpentarius x3 Name: Wyrmhero Blade LP: N/A License: N/A Attack: 130 Added Effect: Holy element Cost: 65535 Bazaar: Omega Badge x1, Godslayer's Badge x1, Lu Shang's Badge x1 =============================================================================== 3-2 Katana =============================================================================== While katana tend to have lower attack ratings than greatswords, they more than hold their own in damage potential thanks to frequent combo attacks. Katana score two or more hits per combat round far more often than any other weapon type, except for ninja swords and poles. To further take advantage of this, equip either the Genji Gloves (which increases the rate of combo attacks) or the Cat-ear Hood (which increases the character's speed by 50; this more than doubles the amount of turns a character gets, vastly increasing the opportunities for a combo attack to occur). Katana damage is affected by a character's strength and magick power, the katana's attack rating, and the opponent's defense. Magick power as a factor for a highly powerful weapon adds an interesting twist, allowing a support character geared for magick power to also contribute as a heavy frontline damage dealer. All katana add 5 to Evasion, but make sure that a character in this role (one who deals heavy melee damage with a katana while equipped for magick power rather than, say, defense) does not draw too much of the enemy's attention. Lacking a shield and meaningful Evasion bonuses makes one particularly vulnerable to harsh enemy attacks. Name: Kotetsu LP: 35 License: Katana 1 Attack: 50 Cost: 3800 Location: Rabanastre, Jahara Name: Osafune LP: 35 License: Katana 1 Attack: 54 Cost: 4800 Location: Jahara, Mt Bur-Omisace, Rabanastre; Urutan Exile drops it Name: Kogarasumaru LP: 35 License: Katana 1 Attack: 58 Cost: 5600 Location: Mt Bur-Omisace, Nalbina, Rabanastre Name: Magoroku LP: 40 License: Katana 2 Attack: 62 Cost: 6600 Location: Nalbina, Mt Bur-Omisace, Rabanastre Name: Murasame LP: 40 License: Katana 2 Attack: 66 Added Effect: Water element Cost: 8500 Location: Phon Coast Name: Kiku-ichimonji LP: 45 License: Katana 3 Attack: 70 Cost: 10500 Location: Archades Name: Yakei LP: 45 License: Katana 3 Attack: 74 Cost: 12500 Location: Balfonheim Name: Ame-no-Murakumo LP: 50 License: Katana 4 Attack: 78 Added Effect: Wind element Cost: 15000 Location: Balfonheim Name: Muramasa LP: 50 License: Katana 4 Attack: 84 Cost: N/A Location: Crypt Bunny drops it; steal from Avenger; treasure in the Pharos Name: Masamune LP: 55 License: Masamune Attack: 93 Cost: 88888 Location: reward for completing the Ancient Man of Mystery hunt Bazaar: Gemsteel x2, Orichalcum x3, Mallet x2 =============================================================================== 3-3 Ninja Swords =============================================================================== A less frequently seen partner to katana, ninja swords are even more prone to combo attack than katana, which means them terrific options for damage dealers. All ninja swords contain the Dark element, so avoid using them against enemies that are immune to Dark (or even worse, absorb it). Ninja Sword damage is calculated based on your character's strength and speed, the ninja sword's attack rating, and the enemy's defense. Note that all ninja swords add 20 to Evasion. These factors make ninja swords better suited than katana for characters who are traditional damage dealers. As with katana, Genji Gloves or the Cat-ear Hood serve to make ninja swords far more potent. Name: Ashura LP: 40 License: Ninja Swords 1 Attack: 51 Added Effect: Dark element Cost: 5600 Location: Mt Bur-Omisace, Nalbina, Rabanastre Name: Sakura-saezuri LP: 40 License: Ninja Swords 1 Attack: 56 Added Effect: Dark element Cost: 7000 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina, Mosphoran Highwaste Name: Kagenui LP: 40 License: Ninja Swords 1 Attack: 62 Added Effect: Dark element, Slow Cost: 10000 Location: Phon Coast, Archades Name: Koga Blade LP: 45 License: Ninja Swords 2 Attack: 67 Added Effect: Dark element Cost: N/A Location: Cockatrice side quest Name: Iga Blade LP: 45 License: Ninja Swords 2 Attack: 67 Added Effect: Dark element Cost: N/A Location: treasure in Sochen Cave Palace Name: Orochi LP: 45 License: Ninja Swords 2 Attack: 72 Added Effect: Dark element, Disable Cost: 15200 Bazaar: Coeurl Whisker x2, Sickle-Blade x2, Cancer Gem x3 Name: Yagyu Darkblade LP: 80 License: Yagyu Darkblade Attack: 80 Added Effect: Dark element Cost: N/A Location: Bombshell drops it =============================================================================== 3-4 Spears =============================================================================== The brute force weapon of Final Fantasy XII. This group contains perhaps the stongest weapon in the game, the Zodiac Spear. Spears factor in your character's strength, the spear's attack rating, and the enemy's defense when calculating damage dealt. All spears add 8 to Evasion. Name: Javelin LP: 15 License: Spears 1 Attack: 30 Cost: 1400 Location: Rabanastre, Bhujerba Name: Spear LP: 15 License: Spears 1 Attack: 36 Cost: 2200 Location: Rabanastre Name: Partisan LP: 25 License: Spears 2 Attack: 42 Cost: 3500 Location: Rabanastre, Jahara Name: Heavy Lance LP: 25 License: Spears 2 Attack: 48 Added Effect: Slow Cost: 4800 Location: Jahara, Mt Bur-Omisace, Rabanastre Name: Storm Spear LP: 30 License: Spears 3 Attack: 54 Added Effect: Lightning element Cost: 5800 Location: Mt Bur-Omisace, Nalbina, Rabanastre Name: Obelisk LP: 30 License: Spears 3 Attack: 60 Cost: 7500 Location: Mosphoran Highwaste, Phon Coast Name: Halberd LP: 35 License: Spears 4 Attack: 66 Cost: 10000 Location: Phon Coast, Archades Name: Trident LP: 35 License: Spears 4 Attack: 72 Added Effect: Ice element Cost: 12500 Location: Balfonheim Name: Holy Lance LP: 40 License: Spears 5 Attack: 78 Added Effect: Holy element Cost: 14500 Location: Balfonheim Name: Gungnir LP: 40 License: Spears 5 Attack: 84 Added Effect: Fire element Cost: 15300 Location: Dalmasca Westersand, Bunes in the Pharos drop it Name: Dragon Whisker LP: 60 License: Dragon Whisker Attack: 91 Cost: N/A Location: treasure in Cerobi Steppe, treasure in the Pharos Name: Zodiac Spear LP: 235 License: Zodiac Spear Attack: 150 Cost: N/A Location: treasure in the Necrohol of Nabudis (pending special conditions); treasure in the Henne Mines Phase 2 Dig =============================================================================== 3-5 Poles =============================================================================== Like katana and ninja swords, it's easy to combo attack on a frequent basis. Pole damage is calculated based on your character's strength and the pole's attack rating, like most weapons, but instead of checking these factors against an enemy's defense, they are checked against the enemy's magick defense! Throw high attack ratings and frequent combo attacks on top of this to create a weapon class that completly decimates opponenets without Shell or a strong magick defense. All poles add 25 to Evasion as well--not a bad figure for a two-handed weapon. As with katana and ninja swords, accessories that enhance combo attacks or speed are preferred. Name: Oaken Pole LP: 15 License: Poles 1 Attack: 27 Cost: 1300 Location: Rabanastre, Bhujerba Name: Cypress Pole LP: 15 License: Poles 1 Attack: 33 Added Effect: Earth element Cost: 2000 Location: Rabanastre Name: Battle Bamboo LP: 25 License: Poles 2 Attack: 39 Cost: 3200 Location: Rabanastre, Jahara Name: Musk Stick LP: 25 License: Poles 2 Attack: 45 Cost: 4300 Location: Jahara, Mt Bur-Omisace, Rabanastre Name: Iron Pole LP: 30 License: Poles 3 Attack: 51 Added Effect: Slow Cost: 5300 Location: Mt Bur-Omisace, Nalbina, Rabanastre Name: Six-fluted Pole LP: 30 License: Poles 3 Attack: 57 Cost: 6800 Location: Mosphoran Highwaste, Phon Coast Name: Gokuu Pole LP: 30 License: Poles 3 Attack: 63 Cost: 9000 Location: Phon Coast, Archades Name: Zephyr Pole LP: 35 License: Poles 4 Attack: 69 Added Effect: Wind element Cost: 11200 Location: Balfonheim Name: Ivory Pole LP: 35 License: Poles 4 Attack: 75 Cost: 13500 Location: Balfonheim Name: Sweep LP: 45 License: Poles 5 Attack: 81 Cost: 16200 Location: Bhujerba Name: Eight-fluted Pole LP: 45 License: Poles 5 Attack: 88 Cost: N/A Location: steal from Vagrant Soul; steal from Abelisk Name: Whale Whisker LP: 125 License: Whale Whisker Attack: 108 Cost: 60000 Bazaar: Mythril x3, Corpse Fly x3, Aquarius Gem x1 =============================================================================== 3-6 Rods =============================================================================== Rods are similar to maces in that they are ideal for support/magick-oriented characters. They differ, however, in that their strength does not lie in actually striking the enemy; rods add magick power and extra MP to characters equipped with them. A few of them also add beneficial status effects on contacts. All rods add 6 to Evasion. If you do choose to hit an opponent with a rod, your character's strength, the rod's attack rating, and the enemy's defense are used to determine the damage dealt. Name: Rod LP: 15 License: Rods 1 Attack: 30 Magic Power: 1 Cost: 1500 Location: Rabanastre Name: Serpent Rod LP: 15 License: Rods 1 Attack: 34 Magic Power: 2 Added Effect: Ice element Cost: 2100 Location: Jahara, Mt Bur-Omisace, Rabanastre Name: Healing Rod LP: 25 License: Rods 2 Attack: 13 Magic Power: 2 Added Effect: Regen Cost: 3000 Location: Mt Bur-Omisace, Jahara, Nalbina, Rabanastre Name: Gaia Rod LP: 25 License: Rods 2 Attack: 38 Magic Power: 2 Added Effect: Earth element Cost: 3300 Location: Nalbina, Mt Bur-Omisace, Rabanastre Name: Power Rod LP: 30 License: Rods 3 Attack: 44 Magic Power: 3 Cost: 4500 Location: Phon Coast, Archades Name: Empyrean Rod LP: 30 License: Rods 3 Attack: 50 Magic Power: 2 Cost: 6200 Location: Balfonheim Name: Holy Rod LP: 35 License: Rods 4 Attack: 53 Magic Power: 2 Added Effect: Holy element Cost: N/A Location: treasure in the Pharos Name: Rod of Faith LP: 120 License: Rod of Faith Attack: 24 Magic Power: 3 Added Effect: Faith Cost: N/A Location: obtainable on Mt Bur-Omisace after completing the Behemoth King hunt =============================================================================== 3-7 Staves =============================================================================== Staves augment magick users as well, but in a different way. Many staves actually power up certain elements. For example, the spell Blizzaga will cause far more damage when cast with an Ice Staff than without it. Whe used during melee combat, staves take into account character strength and magick power, staff attack, and enemy defense to determine damage. All staves add 8 to Evasion. Name: Oak Staff LP: 15 License: Staves 1 Attack: 18 Cost: 400 Location: Rabanastre, Bhujerba, Nalbina Name: Cherry Staff LP: 15 License: Staves 1 Attack: 24 Cost: 800 Location: Bhujerba, Rabanastre Name: Wizard's Staff LP: 15 License: Staves 1 Attack: 30 Cost: 1500 Location: Rabanastre Name: Flame Staff LP: 25 License: Staves 2 Attack: 33 Added Effect: Fire spells enhanced by 50% Cost: 2400 Location: Jahara, Mt Bur-Omisace, Nalbina, Rabanastre Name: Storm Staff LP: 25 License: Staves 2 Attack: 33 Added Effect: Thunder spells enhanced by 50% Cost: 2400 Location: Jahara, Mt Bur-Omisace, Nalbina, Rabanastre Name: Glacial Staff LP: 25 License: Staves 2 Attack: 33 Added Effect: Ice spells enhanced by 50% Cost: 2400 Location: Jahara, Nt Bur-Omisace, Nalbina, Rabanastre Name: Golden Staff LP: 30 License: Staves 3 Attack: 38 Cost: 3500 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina, Mosphoran Highwaste Name: Judicer's Staff LP: 30 License: Staves 3 Attack: 43 Added Effect: Stop Cost: 5700 Location: Archades Name: Cloud Staff LP: 30 License: Staves 4 Attack: 48 Added Effect: Water spells enhanced by 50% Cost: 8000 Location: Balfonheim Name: Staff of the Magi LP: 100 License: Staff of the Magi Attack: 46 Cost: N/A Location: steal from Luxollid _______________________________________________________________________________ 4-0 Ranged Weapons _______________________________________________________________________________ This weapon class offers many benefits over more traditional fare, with a few negatives to balance things out. Ranged weapons prevent a party member from equipping a shield and, for the most part, they do not enhance Evasion in a meaningful way. They also tend to attack less rapidly than melee weapons. Now for the good news! Ranged weapons allow attacks from a distance, often out of harm's way. Enemies must close the gap to counter-attack. Equipping your party members with ranged weapons also makes it more likely that they will be spread out, causing area-of-effect techniks and magicks (such as Firaga) to hit perhaps just one or two party members rather than the entire party. In some situations (e.g., against enemies that can inflict effects like Disable or Stop to multiple characters at once), this can be a lifesaver. Ranged weapons require ammunitio: arrows for bows, bolts for crossbows, shot for guns, and bombs for hand-bombs. The amunition will oftentimes inflict status effects on enemies, such as Stop or Disable. The weakening and positional advantages of ranged weapons can more than compensate for the lack of a shield, especially for characters set up as support. Ranged weapons are also required to hit flying monsters as melee weapons cannot strike these enemies without the technik Telekinesis, which does not show up until late in the game. =============================================================================== 4-1 Bows =============================================================================== Bows provide the most basic ranged option. These weapons allow attacks from a distance at the expense of using a shield. They also add no peripheral stats beyond their base attack, and have no additonal effects. However, many arrow types do have additional effects, and the infrequency of crossbow amd gun upgrades means that bows are often a good option. Bow accuracy is also affected by the weather in a given region. For example, rain has an adverse effect. Bow damage is determined by the attack power of the bow and arrow, your character's strength and speed, and the enemy's defense. It is also worth remembering that enemies cannot counter bow attacks. Bows do not grant a bonus to Evasion.

While crossbows do not possess additional effects, crossbow ammuniton often does. Enemies cannot parry or counter crossbow attacks, although crossbow attacks may simply miss. Crossbow damage is determined by the attack power of the crossbow and bolt, your character's strength, and the enemy's defense.

All guns add 10 to Evasion. While guns have no additional effects, their munitions often do. Note that enemies cannot parry, block, or counter gun attacks. Gun damage is determined solely by the attack power of the gun and its ammunition. An enemy's defense is of no consequence when determining damage.

They can inflict big-time damage, or they mat cause little damage at all. Hand-bombs take into account your character's strength and vitality, the hand-bomb's attack rating, and the enemy's defense when determining damage dealt. The bombs that serve as hand-bombs amunition often come equipped with useful additional effects. Like bows, hand-bombs do not provide an Evasion bonus.

Light armor generally adds a very sizeable bonus to HP as well as moderate defense. When in doubt, light armor is usually a safe bet. Even near the end of the game, when heavy armor and mystic armor provide bonuses that can far outweigh that which light armor offers, the HP bonus can still prove useful when used with the Bubble spell or Bubble Belt accessory.

=============================================================================== Heavy armor is commonly used by frontline fighters. Although is doesn't usually offer the HP bonuses of light armor or the magick power benefits of mystic armor, it does offer plenty of strength and defense. As most weapons primarily factor in strength when determining damage, selecting the right armor class for damage dealers is often a no-brainer. For much of the game, heavy armor doesn't really provide much benefit over light armor. However, toward the end of the game when enemies start striking much harder and offering up increasingly stalwart defense, heavy armor becomes a great option. Early on in the game, HP is extremely important, so it makes sense to use light armor. However, as your characters level up and gain access to the Bubble spell, raw HP becomes less of a concern and reducing the damage your characters take per hit becomes more important. This is especially true when facing many of the game's strongest advesaries. You should be aware that one specific encounter in the game penalizes the use of heavy armor through greatly increased charge time on actions.

=============================================================================== While mystic armor lacks the verstility and HP bonuses of light armor and the defense and strength of heavy armor, it compensates for these deficiencies by offering large bonuses to magick power. This has a marked effect on all magick actions, whether it's using magicks like Firaga to damage the enemy, magicks like Curaja to heal your party, or magicks like Slowga to enfeeble your opponents. The magick power statistic also comes into play with certain specialized weapon types (staves, katana, and maces) when determining melee damage, so mystic armors can be indirectly useful in this area as well. Several of them also offer terrific bonuses, like the complete absorbtion of harmful elements. For example, getting hit with Holy while wearing a White Mask will heal instead of harm. This diversity in mystic gear makes different pieces worth carrying around to give you options in counteracting harmful magicks, should the need arise. The main drawback to mystic armor is its lack of physical defense when compared to heavy or even light armor. To counter this, consider setting one character up specifically as a "tank," using the "Decoy" spell to keep the enemy's attention off the character sporting the mystic armor.

=============================================================================== A set assembled from legend and belonging to an ancient man of mystery, Genji armor offers many of the benefits of advanced heavy armor sets with a few twists thrown in. The entire set requires only one license and only one set of this armor exists in the game! During your time in Clan Centurio, you may well come across an opportunity to claim this unique set -- don't let it slip away! The only way to obtain these items is to steal them from Gilgamesh during phase 4 or 5 of the No. 40 clan hunt.

Shields greatly increase survivability in battle by allowing your characters to block incoming attacks, completely negating the damage they would otherwise sustain. They occasionally provide extra benefits as well; for example, immunity to certain elements or automatic status effects. One shield toward the end of the game even comes equipped with a variety of negative status ailments to compensate for its extremely high evasion rating! Shields become especially potent when coupled with the Gauntlets accessory. However, one downside to using shields is you lose the option to use two-handed and ranged weapons, which tend to cause more damage than one-handed weapons. This really isn't a huge obstacle when you consider that you could equip one character with a shield and keep the Decoy magick active on that character. This approach forces the character into a "tanking" role and frees up your remaining characters to focus on dealing damage.

=============================================================================== 7-1 Augments =============================================================================== Apart from the licenses for techniks, magicks, armors, and weapons on the license board, there are also licenses for passive abilities that permanently increase your character's abilities. These bonuses are active for the remainder of the game once you buy them; you need not purchase anything beyond their license. Although they may seem less glamorous than a new ability or weapon, many Augments are among the most useful on the entire board. Whether it's permanently increasing your character's action speed, adding additional Gambit Slots, or permanenetly increasing HP, Augments are a great way to spend LP.

Some technicks can cause damage in unusual ways, or save your character in an emergency when items and MP are strained. A few of them are useful for weakening your foes or judging their weaknesses. To use a technick, follow these two steps: 1. Purchase a technick scroll from a merchant; and 2. Unlock the required license on a character's license board. Name: Steal LP: 15 Effects: steal from one foe Cost: 1600 Location: Rabanastre Name: Libra LP: 20 Effects: reveal more detailed target information Cost: 500 Location: Rabanastre Name: First Aid LP: 20 Effects: restore HP to one HP critical ally Cost: 700 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina Name: Charge LP: 30 Effects: restore user's MP or reduce user's MP to zero Cost: 1700 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina, Bhujerba Name: Poach LP: 30 Effects: capture HP critical foes to obtain loot Cost: 7000 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina, Bhujerba Name: Souleater LP: 35 Effects: consume HP to deal damage to one foe Cost: 6400 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina Name: Horology LP: 55 Effects: deal damage based on a factor of time to all foes in range Cost: 2000 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina, Bhujerba Name: Infuse LP: 35 Effects: fully consume user's MP, changing one ally's HP to 10 times that amount Cost: 2000 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina, Jahara, Archades Name: Bonecrusher LP: 30 Effects: consume HP to reduce the HP of one foe to zero Cost: 7000 Location: Rabanastre, Archades Name: 1000 Needles LP: 35 Effects: deal 1,000 damage to one foe Cost: 7000 Location: Mosphoran Highwaste Name: Stamp LP: 40 Effects: inflict one foe with any status effect on the user Cost: 4500 Location: Archades Name: Addle LP: 30 Effects: lower one foe's magick power Cost: 3500 Location: Rabanastre, Archades Name: Shades of Black LP: 40 Effects: cast a random black magick on one foe Cost: 5000 Location: Archades Name: Expose LP: 35 Effects: lower one foe's defense Cost: 3800 Location: Balfonheim Name: Archilles LP: 40 Effects: render one foe vulnerable to an additional element Cost: Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina, Jahara Name: Gil Toss LP: 35 Effects: throw gil, damaging all foes in range Cost: 2000 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina, Jahara Name: Charm LP: 30 Effects: cause one foe to confuse friend with foe Cost: 5000 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina, Jahara Name: Sight Unseeing LP: 40 Effects: unleash an attack only available when blind Cost: 6800 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina, Jahara Name: Shear LP: 35 Effects: lower one foe's magick resistance Cost: 3600 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina, Jahara Name: Wither LP: 35 Effects: lower one foe's strength Cost: 3500 Location: Balfonheim Name: Revive LP: 40 Effects: fully consume user's HP, reviving and fully restoring HP of one KO'd ally Cost: 10000 Location: Balfonheim Name: Telekinesis LP: 80 Effects: deal ranged damage with melee weapons Cost: 7100 Location: Necrohol of Nabudis Name: Numerology LP: 40 Effects: deal damage that increases with successive hits Cost: 2048 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina, Bhujerba Name: Traveler LP: 65 Effects: deal damage based on total steps taken to all foes in range Cost: 6700 Location: Rabanastre, Nalbina =============================================================================== 7-3 Magicks =============================================================================== Magicks offer many powerful and unique abilities at the cost of Mist Points (or MP). Having MP as a limiting factor prevents magicks from being too powerful and forces you to carefully manage MP. The difference in how you handle a tough fight will often come down to how well your gambits are utilized to help conserve and maintain MP. Many passive Augment abilities exist only to help generate and maintain MP, and items like the Sage Ring and Turtleshell Choker lessen or alter the cost of casting magick.
