=============================================================================== === FOREWORD =============================================================================== With Final Fantasy XII, Square Enix introduces a "new" way of gaining gil. Monsters no longer drop money, but instead you are given loot. Loot is to be sold in shops and it will eventually make you rich enough to buy new equipments, items, spells... They could have stopped there, but decided to go a little further. Then came the idea of Bazaar Goods. Basically when loot is sold in sufficient quantity, a new item appears in this section : some are unique and impossible to find elsewhere, some are common, most can be obtained before they are actually sold in shops. The trouble is then to know precisely how to make those Goods appear. This is where this guide comes in handy, as I will now explain. The game contains no less than 120 recipes for Bazaar Goods using 207 different loot. Most loot is used in only one recipe, some appear in several. Few recipes can be repeated ad nauseam, most can only be gotten once. Overall, a recipe contains up to 3 different loot with quantities going from 1 to 10. Managing efficiently your loot to obtain Bazaar Goods as soon as possible can be a real pain in the ass, and this is exactly what the FAQ focuses on. Writing a complete list of Bazaar Goods requirements and nothing else wouldn't get you very far if you obtain the good stuff when they are no longer powerful or you have already bought it. Therefore, knowing what to sell, what to keep temporarily and where to find everything is the type of information you will find here. Now that the stage is set, it's time to dive into the guide itself ! =============================================================================== === TERMINOLOGY =============================================================================== First things first, I have to define some of the terms used throughout the guide. -> Recipe List of the loot you have to sell in specific quantities in order to unlock a Bazaar Goods. -> "No recipe" Loot Loot not used in any recipe. Its purpose usually lies elsewhere. -> "One shot only" Loot Loot used in only one (non-repeatable) recipe. -> "Multiple use" Loot Loot used in multiple recipes, none of which being repeatable. -> "Repeatable" Loot Loot appearing in repeatable recipes. It may also appear in normal recipes. -> "No recipe" Goods Bazaar Goods unlocked without having to sell anything. -> "No-brainer" recipes Recipes whose all ingredients are "One shot only" loot -> "Overlapping" recipes Recipes having few loot in common with the others. The difference with "Intertwined" resides in the loot itself : they are less common, so it's easier to organize this kind of recipe around one or two of it. -> "Intertwined" recipes Recipes using loot appearing in many recipes and impossible to dissociate from the others. -> Repeatable recipes Recipes that can be completed as many times as you want. =============================================================================== === UNLOCKING BAZAAR GOODS =============================================================================== Before even going into listing loot and recipes, how do you unlock Bazaar Goods ? It's simple, you sell the loot you get. When you have sold enough loot to fill a recipe, the Bazaar Goods appears in a separate list (shared between all shops in the game). There are some subtleties to note. 1. You don't have to sell the loot for a specific recipe all at once. The game remembers every loot sold and the quantities so you don't have to worry about that. It also doesn't matter where you sell it : any shop is fine. 2. When a recipe is complete and you buy the unlocked Bazaar Goods the quantity for the loot used in that recipe is set back to 0, even if you sold more than required. Ex : The 'High Arcana' recipe needs (among others) 10 Arcana. If you sell 15 of them in a row, 5 are lost. If you sell only 10 and complete the recipe, exit the selling screen (thus validating the recipe), buy the High Arcana, come back and sell the remaining five, it will be remembered for later. 3. Thanks to various contributions from OreO84, Eschmooth and Red Star, there's now an easy way to unlock multiples Bazaar Goods using less loot than required. This works for any recipe having loot in common. I'll let Red Star explain the exploit : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example: Sipping Wine - 2x Tyrant Hide Monk's Garb - 2x Tyrant Hide, 4x Ice Magicite, 4x Coeurl Pelt Case 1: 1) Sell 2x Tyrant Hide. Bazaar goods for Sipping Wine appears. 2) Buy Sipping Wine. 3) Sell 4x Ice Magicite, 4x Couerl Pelt. Bazaar goods for Monk's Garb does not appear. Case 2: 1) Sell 2x Tyrant Hide. Bazaar goods for Sipping Wine appears. 2) Sell 4x Ice Magicite, 4x Couerl Pelt. Bazaar goods for Monk's Garb appears. In Case 1, by buying the bazaar goods for Sipping Wine, you reset the counter for Tyrant's Hide to 0, hence resulting in the bazaar goods for Monk's Garb not appearing after selling the Ice Magicites and Coeurl Pelts. But, in Case 2, by not buying the Sipping Wine until you sell the Ice Magicities and Coeurl Pelts, you get both Sipping Wine and Monk's Garb available in the bazaar. This works for every bazaar item that has common requirements, and the selling order does not matter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using this trick, it's possible to unlock many recipes at the same time, e.g. Masamune + Tournesol with 3 Gemsteel (instead of 5) or also Elixir + Serpentarius + Empyreal Soul with only 1 High Arcana (instead of 3). 4. Even though there are recipes that can be repeated as many times as you want, the Bazaar won't hold more than one instance of any Goods at the same time. So if you want to create several High Arcana, do this one at a time and buy each one as they appear before completing the recipe again. =============================================================================== === BAZAAR GOODS RECIPES =============================================================================== Presented here as a reference, this complete list of Bazaar Goods recipes is organized by type of item. This is to help you find quickly what you're looking for. If the only thing you're interested in is to know what to sell to unlock some items in particular, use this list and don't bother reading the rest of the guide. However if you need a hand to find everything, manage and sell your loot over time... this section is only the tip of the iceberg ;-) Stats for all equipments are available in order to help you decide if they are worth getting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- ONE-HANDED WEAPONS

=============================================================================== Instead of listing alphabetically all 220+ loot, I regrouped it using a very simple criteria : how it is used in recipes. Not only this helps avoiding clutter, it also allows comments on the way to manage each type of loot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- "NO RECIPE" LOOT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, there's some loot that isn't used at all for Bazaar Goods recipes. Some is reserved for other purposes (usually during sidequests), some is just meant to be sold. 23 loot fit in this category. Since they are so few, I'll quickly discuss their purpose and what to do with them. -> Earth Magicite -> Holy Magicite -> Holy Stone -> Pebble -> Storm Stone -> Turtle Shell Your usual loot gotten from monsters. Sell without afterthought. -> Common Fish -> Delicious Fish -> Empty Bottle -> Nebra Succulent Stuff you get during the fishing game. You can sell it safely. -> Bhujerban Madhu Bottles scattered all over Bhujerba (you can find 14 of them), after the Tomb of Raithwall events. I strongly recommend NOT to sell them in shops. While more tedious, it's best to look for people in Bhujerba that will buy a bottle for a good price (1000 gil each instead of 250 in a shop). -> Black Orb Found inside the Pharos at Ridorana, they are used to unlock new areas there. You can find an endless supply of them, so you're free to sell them if you wish. Their price is ridiculous, though (1 gil apiece). -> Centurio Hero's Badge The ultimate loot, in a way. Given the time you receive it and how much it sells (1 gil), why not keep it ? -> Dewdrop Pebble Found in Eruyt Village while doing the Cockatrice sidequest. They disappear if you leave the village, so you can't sell them. Give them to Mjrn. -> Great Serpentskin The famous reward for the 'Marauder in the Mines' hunt. It's not necessary to keep it, but it is mandatory to obtain a better reward when you're trying to get the Barheim Passage Key. It won't prevent you from getting the key, it just affects the additional item you can obtain. -> Jaya Stick Given by High-chief Zayalu in Jahara. You are supposed to give it to War-chief Supinelu. Giving it to him changes a reward you get a bit later : you get a Killer Bow and a pooch of Onion Arrows if you do give him, a Bowgun and a pooch of Onion Shots if you don't. The 500 gil for selling it isn't really worth considering at this point of the game by the way, so choose depending of the reward. -> Nebralim You can find 2 of them in the Outpost at the Dalmasca Estersand when you're trying to get the Barheim Passage Key. DO NOT SELL. -> Pinewood Chop You need 9 of them to continue the story in Archades. You can also collect all 28 of them to gain access to one part of the city, which is required to complete the cockatrice sidequest. Anyway you cannot sell it. -> Sandalwood Chop Traded in any Archades shop after collecting all 28 Pinewood Chops. You cannot sell it, so no point arguing about it. Why is this not a Key Item ? -> Semclam Shell Found on the shore in the South Bank Village and in the Banks of the Nebra screen. You need them to get the Barheim Passage Key, so DO NOT SELL. -> Small Package Given by a Bangaa merchant in Rabanastre before heading out to deal with the 'Red & Rotten in the Desert' hunt. You can either give it to his friend at the East Gate or sell it for 150 gil. It makes no difference in the end and the cash can be nice at that point of the game (the very beginning). -> Teleport Stone Invaluable loot used at Gate Crystals to teleport to any other ones already visited. Try to keep at least 10 in your inventory at all times, they are very useful. -> Valeblossom Dew Found in the Broken Sands screen in the Dalmasca Estersand. You need them to get the Barheim Passage Key, so DO NOT SELL. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- "ONE SHOT ONLY" LOOT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the easiest loot to keep track of. Since it's used in only one recipe (and a non-repeatable one at that), you can safely sell all of it and watch the gil flowing in. I mentioned in the foreword there were 207 different loot used in recipes. This section holds 132 of them (= 2/3). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Aged Turtle Shell | Electrum | Onion | | Ambrosia | Emperor Scale | Phobos Glaze | | Ancient Bone | Empyreal Soul | Pisces Gem | | Ancient Turtle Shell | Fish Scale | Putrid Liquid | | Antarctic Wind | Forbidden Flesh | Quality Lumber | | Aquarius Gem | Foul Liquid | Quality Pelt | | Arctic Wind | Four-leaf Clover | Rat Pelt | | Aries Gem | Frog Oil | Rat Tail | | Battlewyrm Carapace | Frogspawn | Ring Wyrm Scale | | Beastlord Hide | Gemini Gem | Sagittarius Gem | | Beastlord Horn | Gimble Stalk | Salamand Halcyon | | Behemoth Steak | Gnoma Halcyon | Scorpio Gem | | Bent Staff | Godslayer's Badge | Serpentarius | | Blood-darkened Bone | Great Serpent's Fang | Sickle-Blade | | Blood-stained Necklace | Gysahl Greens | Slaven Harness | | Bomb Ashes | Horakhty's Flame | Slime Oil | | Bomb Fragment | Horn | Small Feather | | Bone Fragment | Ichthon Scale | Snowfly | | Book of Orgain-Mille | Ice Crystal | Solid Horn | | Braid Wool | Ice Stone | Solid Stone | | Broken Greataxe | Insect Husk | Split Armor | | Broken Spear | Iron Carapace | Stardust | | Broken Sword | Iron Ore | Storm Crystal | | Bundle of Needles | Iron Scraps | Sturdy Bone | | Cactus Fruit | Jack-o'-Lantern | Sylphi Halcyon | | Cancer Gem | Ketu Board | Tattered Garment | | Capricorn Gem | Large Feather | Taurus Gem | | Caramel | Leamonde Halcyon | Throat Wolf Blood | | Charged Gizzard | Leo Gem | Tomato Stalk | | Chocobo Feather | Leshach Halcyon | Tyrant Bone | | Coeurl Whisker | Libra Gem | Undin Halcyon | | Corpse Fly | Lifewick | Vampyr Fang | | Death Powder | Lu Shang's Badge | Virgo Gem | | Death's-Head | Lumber | Water Magicite | | Deimos Clay | Magick Lamp | White Incense | | Demon Drink | Mallet | Wind Stone | | Demon Tail | Mardu Halcyon | Wrath of the Gods | | Destrier Barding | Mirror Scale | Wyrm Bone | | Destrier Mane | Molting | Wyrm Carapace | | Diakon Halcyon | Moon Ring | Wyvern Fang | | Dorsal Fin | Moondust | Wyvern Wing | | Drab Wool | Mystletainn | Yensa Fin | | Earth Crystal | Mythril | Yensa Scale | | Einherjarium | Omega Badge | Zombie Powder | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- "MULTIPLE USE" LOOT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The loot of this section is less easy to manage. It appears in multiple recipes (none of them being repeatable), so it would be wise to keep it for when you can unlock one recipe or the other. To give you an idea, each loot here comes with the number of recipes in which it's used. It can help knowing when you can finally sell everything without fear of screwing up/missing a recipe. For instance, the Bat Fang appears in two recipes. One requires only one Bat Fang, the other needs five. Basically, you can handle this in four ways : - selling all Bat Fangs as you get them. Obviously not the most efficient way as you'll most likely need to go back and get more Bat Fangs to unlock the second recipe once the first is done. - keeping every Bat Fang until you have all the ingredients for one of the recipe, unlocking it, then selling all of the rest afterwards. The most cautious way, but it can hurt your gil. - keeping 5 Bat Fangs (because that's the highest quantity required) and sell the rest. Once a recipe is complete (whichever one doesn't matter), sell the 5 remaining Bat Fangs and every other you get afterwards. A very reasonable approach for this particular case, but more difficult to adopt when the loot is in more than two recipes. - determining which recipe will be completed first and sell only this quantity until the Bazaar Goods is unlocked. Then sell the rest as usual. One important thing to realize : as soon as one recipe is done, there's only one recipe left needing the Bat Fang. Therefore you can sell all your Bat Fangs just like you would do for the "one shot only" loot. Variations exist but they are not worth considering (keeping one of each loot being one of the worst IMO, having done it in my first playthrough until very late in the game). In the end, I think combining the second and fourth ways (and using common sense to apply each one where it's needed) leads to maximum efficiency. Anyway here's the list, there are 58 loot fitting the category. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Adamantite .......... 2 | Fire Magicite ....... 3 | Screamroot .......... 2 | | Bat Fang ............ 2 | Fire Stone .......... 4 | Silver Liquid ....... 3 | | Blood Wool .......... 2 | Foul Flesh .......... 2 | Sky Jewel ........... 2 | | Bomb Shell .......... 3 | Gemsteel ............ 2 | Spiral Incisor ...... 2 | | Book of Orgain ...... 3 | Giant Feather ....... 2 | Storm Magicite ...... 2 | | Book of Orgain-Cent . 2 | Glass Jewel ......... 2 | Succulent Fruit ..... 2 | | Bundle of Feathers .. 2 | Green Liquid ........ 2 | Tanned Giantskin .... 2 | | Charger Barding ..... 2 | Holy Crystal ........ 3 | Tanned Hide ......... 3 | | Chimera Head ........ 2 | Ice Magicite ........ 3 | Tanned Tyrant Hide .. 2 | | Coeurl Pelt ......... 3 | Maggoty Flesh ....... 2 | Tyrant Hide ......... 3 | | Crooked Fang ........ 2 | Malboro Flower ...... 2 | Unpurified Ether .... 2 | | Dark Crystal ........ 4 | Malboro Fruit ....... 2 | Water Crystal ....... 2 | | Dark Magicite ....... 3 | Malboro Vine ........ 2 | Water Stone ......... 2 | | Dark Stone .......... 4 | Orichalcum .......... 2 | Wind Crystal ........ 3 | | Demon Eyeball ....... 2 | Pointed Horn ........ 3 | Wind Magicite ....... 2 | | Demon Feather ....... 2 | Prime Pelt .......... 2 | Windslicer Pinion ... 2 | | Earth Stone ......... 3 | Prime Tanned Hide ... 2 | Wolf Pelt ........... 2 | | Festering Flesh ..... 3 | Quality Hide ........ 2 | Yellow Liquid ....... 2 | | Fine Wool ........... 2 | Quality Stone ....... 2 | | | Fire Crystal ........ 5 | Ring Wyrm Liver ..... 2 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- "REPEATABLE" LOOT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, there's loot used for repeatable Goods. It can also appear in "normal" recipes as well, but that doesn't change the fact you shouldn't sell them unless you're ready to unlock a Bazaar Goods or don't need it anymore. If you're planning to get the Tournesol, you're not going to sell blindly your stock of High Arcana, aren't you ? That would be crazy ! Therefore, the following loot is best kept until a recipe is complete. This list is extremely short (17 entries), considering repeatable Goods are a rare thing. Loot followed by an asterisk '*' is also used in non-repeatable recipes. Arcana * Bat Wing Damascus Steel Demon's Sigh Eye of the Hawk Feystone * Grimoire Aidhed Grimoire Togail Hell-Gate's Flame High Arcana * Rainbow Egg Scarletite Serpent Eye Snake Skin Soul Powder Soul of Thamasa Wargod's Band =============================================================================== === MANAGING RECIPES =============================================================================== It's nice to know which loot is used in only one recipe and which is not, but knowing how you manage the recipes themselves is better. Well, look no further, it is all here ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- "NO RECIPE" GOODS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interestingly, a small amount of Bazaar Goods requires no loot to be unlocked. Requirements are indeed of another kind. Those Goods are also special because they actually help you obtaining better loot from monsters in two ways : 1. They substantially increase the drop rate of rare loot 2. Monsters can drop more than one loot much more frequently There's one downside, though : all monsters will also be able to drop a Pebble, one of the less valuable loot (sold for 2 gil each). They are called 'Monographs' (the shopkeeper in Jahara mentions them if you're wondering whether they are correctly integrated in the world of Ivalice). They are shown as "Forgotten Grimoire" in the Bazaar and, once bought, are listed in the 'Key Item' part of the Inventory menu. They are expensive, especially early on when money is hard to come by, but they are well worth the price. -> Hunter's Monograph (18000 gil) Talk to Gastly in Muthru Bazaar after completing the 'Wolf in the Waste' hunt Enables the acquisition of superior loot from beasts and avions -> Knight's Monograph (19000 gil) Talk to any weapon shop owner 30 times Enables the acquisition of superior loot from giants and insects -> Warmage's Monograph (20000 gil) Read the 'Hunt board' 20 times Enables the acquisition of superior loot from amorphs and undead -> Mage's Monograph (21000 gil) Talk to any magick shop owner 25 times Enables the acquisition of superior loot from fiends -> Dragoon's Monograph (22000 gil) Read the 'Hunt board' 40 times Enables the acquisition of superior loot from dragons and plants -> Scholar's Monograph (22000 gil) Talk to any armor shop owner 15 times Enables the acquisition of superior loot from constructs -> Sage's Monograph (25000 gil) Talk to any shop owner/merchant 100 times Enables the acquisition of superior loot from elementals All numbers here are cumulative, you don't have to do it all at once. The game is smart enough to keep track of this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- "NO-BRAINER" RECIPES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- They are the easiest recipes to monitor : the loot required for them aren't used elsewhere, so you don't have to worry about another recipe clearing the history of some hard-earned loot. This list contains 38 recipes. -> Potion x2 (70 gil) Cactus Fruit x2 -> Antidote x3 (100 gil) Drab Wool x2 -> Chronos Tear x10 (333 gil) Eye of the Hawk -> Phoenix Down x2 (400 gil) Small Feather x3 -> Gillie Boots (450 gil) Slaven Harness x2 -> Phoenix Down x2, Potion x2 (450 gil) Large Feather x3 -> Quasimodo Boots (450 gil) Destrier Mane, Zombie Powder -> Winged Boots (450 gil) (Zodiac: 300 gil) Arctic Wind, Broken Sword Zodiac: Arctic Wind -> Battle Harness (800 gil) Throat Wolf Blood -> Vaccine x10 (999 gil) Zodiac: -> Serum x10 (999 gil) Demon's Sigh -> Hi-potion x10 (1111 gil) Rainbow Egg -> Phoenix down x5, Alarm Clock x5 (1280 gil) Chocobo Feather x4 -> Phoenix Down x10 (2222 gil) Jack-o'-Lantern -> Golden Armlet (3150 gil) Tattered Garment -> Pheasant Netsuke (3600 gil) Stardust x2 -> X-Potion x10 (4444 gil) Behemoth Steak -> Blazer Gloves (4500 gil) Bent Staff x3 -> Firefly (4500 gil) Magick Lamp, Snowfly, Tomato Stalk x2 -> Amber Armlet (5940 gil) Gimble Stalk x2 -> Demon Shield (9800 gil) Aged Turtle Shell x2, Destrier Barding x8, Leamonde Halcyon -> Castellanos (12000 gil) Aries Gem x3, Bomb Fragment x3, Frog Oil x2 -> Opal Ring (14400 gil) Frogspawn x2 -> Gungnir (15300 gil) Broken Spear x2, Ketu Board x2, Mystletainn x2 -> Gemsteel (29997 gil) Damascus Steel x2, Hell-Gate's Flame x2, Scarletite -> Dark Matter (14999 gil) Bat Wing, Grimoire Aidhed x3, Grimoire Togail x3 -> Artemis Arrows (15000 gil) Dorsal Fin x2, Gemini Gem x3, Vampyr Fang x2 -> Stone Shot (15000 gil) Libra Gem x3, Mirror Scale x2, Tyrant Bone x2 -> Orochi (15200 gil) Cancer Gem x3, Coeurl Whisker x2, Sickle-Blade x2 -> Artemis Bow (15800 gil) Great Serpent's Fang x2, Moondust x2, Sylphi Halcyon -> Golden Axe (16200 gil) Broken Greataxe x2, Electrum x2, Mardu Halcyon -> Arcturus (19800 gil) Salamand Halcyon, Wyvern Wing x2, Yensa Fin x2 -> Durandal (21600 gil) Emperor Scale x2, Leshach Halcyon, Lifewick x3 -> Nihopalaoa (30000 gil) Blood-stained Necklace x3, Death's-Head x2, Leo Gem x3 -> Cat-ear Hood (30000 gil) Einherjarium x2, Virgo Gem x7, White Incense x2 -> Scorpion Tail (60000 gil) Charged Gizzard x3, Scorpio Gem x4, Wyrm Bone x3 -> Sagittarius (60000 gil) Beastlord Horn x3, Moon Ring x3, Sagittarius Gem x4 -> Whale Whisker (60000 gil) Aquarius Gem x4, Corpse Fly x3, Mythril x3 -> Wyrmhero Blade (65535 gil) Godslayer's Badge, Lu Shang's Badge, Omega Badge -> Canopic Jar (250000 gil) Deimos Clay, Horakhty's Flame, Phobos Glaze ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- "OVERLAPPING" RECIPES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unlike the previous recipes, these ones have at least one of their loot required for another recipe. Luckily they are still easy to follow since they can be grouped in small amounts of related recipes. In this list (containing 17 entries), a loot is written between two recipes : this is the loot that appears in both of them and should be monitored closely. Please note that the 'Magepower Shishak' recipe is listed twice because each of its ingredients are present in another recipe. -> Ether (4000 gil) Caramel x3, Unpurified Ether x2 => Unpurified Ether -> Hi-Ether (12000 gil) Foul Liquid x2, Slime Oil x4, Unpurified Ether x2 ---- -> Bubble Belt (17820 gil) Adamantite, Battlewyrm Carapace x2 => Adamantite -> Ultima Blade (22800 gil) Adamantite x2, Death Powder x2, Gnoma Halcyon ---- -> Venetian Shield (12420 gil) Ancient Turtle Shell x2, Ring Wyrm Liver x2, Undin Halcyon => Ring Wyrm Liver -> Grand Bolts (15000 gil) Capricorn Gem x3, Ring Wyrm Liver x2, Wrath of the Gods x2 ---- -> Serpentarius (19998 gil) Serpent Eye x2, Snake Skin x4, High Arcana => High Arcana -> Empyreal Soul (29997 gil) High Arcana, Soul Powder, Wargod's Band x2 => High Arcana -> Elixir (36000 gil) Ambrosia x3, Demon Drink x3, High Arcana => High Arcana -> Megalixir (108000 gil) High Arcana x2, Onion x3, Rat Tail x3 ---- -> Hermes Sandals (18000 gil) Arcana x15, Gysahl Greens x33 => Arcana -> High Arcana (9999 gil) Arcana x10, Feystone, Soul of Thamasa => Feystone -> Magepower Shishak (12800 gil) Charger Barding x5, Chimera Head x2, Feystone => Charger Barding -> Maximillian (14800 gil) Charger Barding x4, Pisces Gem x3, Split Armor x2 ---- -> Magepower Shishak (12800 gil) Charger Barding x5, Chimera Head x2, Feystone => Chimera Head -> Stoneblade (17800 gil) Chimera Head x2, Orichalcum x2, Taurus Gem x3 => Orichalcum -> Masamune (350000 gil) Gemsteel x2, Mallet x2, Orichalcum x3 => Gemsteel -> Tournesol (600000 gil) Empyreal Soul x3, Gemsteel x3, Serpentarius x3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- "INTERTWINED" RECIPES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remaining recipes are indissociable because they all use common loot appearing multiple times (some as high as 5 times) in the list. Monitoring them separately or by small groups is impossible, so you have to take them as a whole. Hopefully, this list will help you prioritizing some recipes over others and not selling some loot too early. This section has 65 recipes listed. -> Holy Mote (99 gil) Diakon Halcyon, Glass Jewel x8, Sky Jewel x8 -> Eye Drops x3 (100 gil) Demon Eyeball x2 -> Chromed Leathers (180 gil) Earth Stone, Wolf Pelt

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- REPEATABLE RECIPES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Even though all recipes have been listed in the previous sections, I thought the recipes for repeatable Goods deserved its own section. Since you can get them multiple times, it's useful to have them listed apart as a reference. Oddly enough, the 'Potion Pack' recipe is not repeatable, even though all other Pack recipes (Chronos Tear, Vaccine, Hi-Potion, X-Potion) are. -> Chronos Tear x10 (333 gil) Eye of the Hawk -> Vaccine x10 (999 gil) Demon's Sigh -> Hi-potion x10 (1111 gil) Rainbow Egg -> X-Potion x10 (4444 gil) Behemoth Steak -> High Arcana (9999 gil) Arcana x10, Feystone, Soul of Thamasa -> Dark Matter (14999 gil) Bat Wing, Grimoire Aidhed x3, Grimoire Togail x3 -> Serpentarius (19998 gil) High Arcana, Serpent Eye x2, Snake Skin x4 -> Empyreal Soul (29997 gil) High Arcana, Soul Powder, Wargod's Band x2 -> Gemsteel (29997 gil) Damascus Steel x2, Hell-Gate's Flame x2, Scarletite =============================================================================== === FINDING LOOT= =============================================================================== Now that we know all the recipes, it's high time to look at the ways to obtain all the loot required. Ideally, each and every possible way would be listed. Realistically, some are much easier/more efficient or are available earlier than others. So for instance, instead of listing the gazillion of monsters dropping Dark Crystals, I'll just tell you the earliest/easiest ones. I also won't list the few loot not involved in any recipes, there's no point doing that. Since this is often a matter of opinion, I'm open to any suggestion that is more efficient or available earlier than what is listed. Full credits will be given. But first off, let's look at the different ways to get loot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- GENERAL STRATEGIES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are multiple ways to get loot. Being able to choose wisely how to get one loot or another is the key to get them the earliest possible. Be warned that it will sometimes really test your patience, so don't be afraid to go on a less tedious way when it exists. 1. Killing monsters (Drop) The most common way to get loot and also the easiest. Monsters have from 2 to 4 different loot they can drop (not counting Pebble and Arcana). The rarest ones are rather hard to get and them dropping relies heavily on luck. Just be patient when you're going after one. Don't forget to buy Monographs to increase your chances of getting good loot. 2. Stealing monsters Another common way to get loot from monster. Monsters drop list and steal list are sometimes different, so it's a good idea to steal every monster that crosses your path. The reward can be unexpected. Thief's Cuffs are invaluable here. Rare monsters are often a preferred way to get some rare loot. Since they often have only one item in their steal list, this is a great way to avoid the uncertainty of randomness. Please note that stealing rare monsters is extremely difficult and often means dozens of tries. 3. Poaching monsters The same Poach command that was in Final Fantasy Tactics ! Using this Technick when a monster is in Critical HP results in a guaranteed item (out of two). The downside is you don't get any experience nor LP. Anyway this can be a better way than waiting for a desired loot to drop. 4. Completing hunts The petitioner of a hunt will always reward the hunter that kills his mark. From time to time is the reward rare/unique loot. This is a nice way to get good ingredients early. 5. Doing sidequests As any other sidequest, you can expect some loot in the end. This is sometimes easier this way than fighting, so it will be listed when deemed appropriate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- COMPLETE LIST ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list contains all loot used in a recipe and the best ways of obtaining them. Hunting monsters is the most common way, so additional info is added when needed : - Rare Game monsters are indicated by the mention [xx/80]. If it's followed by an asterisk, it means it's also part on the Hunter Game sidequest and will disappear if killed. When that's the case, you'd better steal then leave without killing the rare monster and repeat the process. - Most of the time, only the area will be given (e.g. 'Giza Plains' for the Hyena). However some monsters are only found in specific screens : when that's the case, the screen name will also be mentioned (e.g. 'Giza Plains - Toam Hills' for the Wild Snake) - Some monsters appear in multiple locations, often with different stats and most importantly different loot ! For instance, while the Zombie in the Stillshrine of Miriam can drop Festering Flesh, the Zombie in Tomb of Raithwall doesn't. So pay extra attention to this. - Stealing marks is a really efficient way to get some rare loot. It's easy to steal from them (unlike rare monsters) and you just need to exit and reenter the screen to be able to steal again.
