The Best Accessories – Final Fantasy XVI Guide

Berserker Ring

The Berserker Ring is one of the best accessories in FF16, not only because of its effect, but because you can collect it so early in the game. All you have to do to get your hands on the Berserker Ring is unlock the Patron’s Whisper and collect it as a reward for earning 85 Renown.

Each side or main quest you do can earn you anywhere between 10-50 Renown, so collecting the Berserker Ring is a matter of polishing off two to three side quests if you haven’t unlocked it already.

Wearing the Berserker Ring significantly increases the speed and strength of your attacks for a couple of seconds after you perform a precision dodge, giving you the chance to land several combos before the effect wears off. 

Adamantite Gloves

The Adamantite Gloves increase Clive’s HP by 500 points. That is a hefty amount that makes a noticeable difference in combat. They are, however, only obtainable in the late game. But late is better than never, especially when it comes to the Adamantite Gloves, so picking them up before embarking on your final few missions is highly recommended.

The Adamantite Gloves are found in a chest at the end of a path that branches off to the west in the Edge of Infinity. See the image below for the exact location:

Genji Gloves

The Genji Gloves increase your damage by 5%, making Clive even more of a force to be reckoned with than he already is. They are the second last reward that can be collected from the Patron’s Whisper in return for earning at least 2365 Renown.

Earning that much Renown involves completing a lot of different side quests, main quests, and Notorious Marks, but the reward is well worth the effort involved to get the Genji Gloves.

High Cleric’s Medallion

Other than the small amount of HP you can recover from Limit Break or Flames of Rebirth, potions and high potions are the only way you can restore health on the battlefield. And even with your inventory increased to the max, you can still only carry five high potions at once.

Every high potion counts, and the 25% that the High Cleric’s Medallion boosts them by means you are essentially carrying an extra high potion with you out in the field. The High Cleric’s Medallion is another Donation Reward you can pick up from the Patron’s Whisper in exchange for earning 715 or more Renown.

Badge of Mettle +1

Completing side quests in FF16 not only earns you Renown and Gil, but also excellent accessories on the odd occasion. And the side quest A Culinary Pilgrimage is one of those occasions.

You can embark on the A Culinary Pilgrimage side quest by visiting the Ale Hall in The Hideaway after starting the Here Be Monsters main quest. The Badge of Mettle +1 is among the rewards you will earn upon the quests completion.

Cobalt Tassels

Limit Break increases your attack power by up to 150%, and heals you when activated. It’s one of the most important skills to utilize in battle in FF16, especially when it comes to boss fights, where your opponent is blessed with incredible strength and stamina. 

Usually your Limit Break gauge only increases based on the amount of damage you deal to your opponent. Allowing it to increase when you take damage as well means more Limit Breaks, and more success in battle. The Cobalt Tassels are best paired with the Crimson Tassels.

You can purchase the Cobalt Tassels from Charon’s Toll in The Hideaway for 24,000 Gil after completing the main quest Cid the Outlaw.

Crimson Tassels

There are many accessories and gear in FF16 that you can mix and match to create your perfect build. For those who specialize in the use of Limit Break, combining the Crimson and Cobalt Tassels is a must.

You can purchase the Crimson Tassels from Charon’s Toll in The Hideaway for 28,000 Gil after completing the main quest Cid the Outlaw.

The Golden Testament

Gil is relatively easy to come by in Final Fantasy 16, but there are always a few who may not be as good with their cash as others. Good weapons and accessories do come at a price, after all.

Those who have spent all their hard-earned Gil on things like The Golden Testament can equip the accessory to earn 35% more Gil than they otherwise would. 35% is a rather healthy percentage and is sure to make a difference to your wallet.

If you don’t have the 5000 Gil you need to purchase The Golden Testament from Charon’s Toll in The Hideaway, there are still other methods you can use to farm Gil.

On Fortune and the Heavens

On Fortune and the Heavens increases the amount of EXP you get by 15%, making it far easier to level up. The highest level you can reach in your first playthrough is level 50. If you’re looking to reach the level cap as soon as possible, getting your hands on this accessory is a must.

You can buy On Fortune and the Heavens from Charon’s Toll in The Hideaway for 5500 Gil after completing the main quest Cid the Outlaw.

The Wages of Warcraft

Ability Points are one of the most precious forms of currency in the game. They are earned after defeating foes in battle, completing side quests, and progressing through the story, and are used to learn, upgrade, and master abilities in the Ability Tree.

You need to be tactical with your Ability Points in FF16 if you want to master and learn as many abilities as possible. Equipping The Wages of Warcraft will give you more freedom to purchase and master Abilities since you will have more points to show for your efforts.
