Final Fantasy VI/Relics

Final Fantasy VI -> Equipment List

Items
Items can be used by anyone. Some items can only be used in battle and some can only be used outside of battle. They affect things like status and health.

Skeans
Skeans are weapons which can be thrown by Shadow to cast particular spells.

Stars
Stars are weapons which can be thrown by Shadow. They are preferable to throwing normal weapons since they're cheaper and easier to replace.

Rare Items
These are items related to particular quests or events in the game.

Weapons
Weapons must be equipped in the weapon slot of the character. If the character is using a guantlet one weapon can be used with both hands for extra damage, and if the character is using a genji glove one weapon can be placed in each hand.

Using the Merit Award relic makes more weapons equippable for everyone.

Dirks
Dirks in general are particular to Locke or Shadow, although some can be used by Relm/Gogo, and some can be used by anyone.

Swords
Swords are particular to Terra, Locke, Edgar, and Celes, with Locke being unable to equip some swords. The most powerful weapons in the game are swords so you may choose to rely on these characters more than usual.

Lances
Lances are particular to Edgar and Mog, although the Imp Halberd can be used by anyone.

Knifes
Knives are particular to Cyan, who must use them for Swordtechs.

Rods
Rods are particular to Strago, Relm, and Gogo. Many of them can cause particular spells and can also be used as an item for a spell casting.

Brushes
Brushes are particular to Relm.

Special
Special weapons often behave like Boomerangs and are most often used by Locke. Damage is not affected by which row is used for these weapons.

Gambler
These weapons are particular to Setzer. Damage is not affected by row for these weapons.

Claw
Claws are particular to Sabin.

Shields
In general all characters except Umaro can equip a given shield, although there are a few exceptions.

Helmets
Helmets have a variety of status effects and are often particular to a certain set of characters.

Armors
Armors have a variety of status effects and elemental resistances and are often particular to a certain set of characters.

Tools
Tools are used by Edgar using the "tools" command.

Air Anchor
The air anchor is found in a hidden room in the Fanatic's Tower. When it works it makes a single enemy self-destruct.

Autocrossbow
Edgar begins the game with the Autocrossbow, which does a physical attack on all enemies.

Bio Blaster
This can be bought in the first visit to Figaro or South Figaro, and inflicts poison on all enemies.

Chain Saw
The most powerful tool, it randomly dispatches an enemy or deals massive damage. It can be found in the clock room in Zozo.

Debilitator
This tool creates a random weak point on an enemy. It can be purchased in the world of ruin at Figaro Castle.

Drill
The second most powerful tool in terms of attack power, it does an attack on a single enemy.

Flash
A more powerful attack than autocrossbow on all enemies, which also inflicts blind status. Unfortunately you'll never notice the blind status because the evasion stat does not affect gameplay.

NoiseBlaster
Attempts to cause confusion on all enemies, having the effect of turning them around if it works. Can provide for some amusing situations when monsters use offensive attacks on themselves and helpful skills on your party.

Relics
Relics can be equipped in one of the two relic slots for a character.

Amulet
Protects against poison, dark, and zombie. It can be bought in the world of balance and ruin.

Atlas Armlet
Raises fight damage. It can be found in the world of balance and bought in the world of ruin.

Back Guard
Prevents back attacks and pincer attacks. Can be found in the world of balance and bought in the world of ruin.

Barrier Ring
Casts Shell when HP is low. Can be bought in the world of balance and ruin.

Beads
Raises the evade stat. Because of a bug, the evade stat affects nothing and this relic is useless. It can be found in the world of balance and bought in the world of ruin.

Black Belt
A very useful relic, randomly counterattacks when attacked. Even more powerful if paired with the genji glove or offering. It can be bought in the world of balance or ruin.

Blizzard Orb
A relic which gives Umaro a special attack. It can be found in the world of ruin in the ancient castle.

Charm Bangle
Lowers the rate of random encounters. It can be found in the world of balance by performing well for the emperor, or traded for in the Colliseum.

Cherub Down
Grants permanent float status to the party member. Can be found in the world of balance and bought in the world of ruin.

Coin Toss
A relic particular to Setzer, or Gogo for that matter. Allows either one to use GP rain as an attack instead of slots.

Crystal Orb
Raises the max MP of the character by 1/2. It can be traded for in the colloseum for a muscle belt.

Cure Ring

Dragon Horn
Makes Jump continuous if DragonBoots are equipped. Can be found in the world of ruin or traded for in the Colliseum.

Dragon Boots
Changes fight into Jump, which performs similarly to Kain's jump in FFIV. Can be found in the world of balance and bought in the world of ruin.

Earrings
Can be bought in the world of balance and ruin. Raise magic damage, more powerful if paired.

Economizer
One of the best relics in the game, it reduces all casting costs to 1. Can be won in the world of ruin from Brachosaurs in the dinosaur forest (north of the veldt), stolen from Aquilas in the phoenix cave, or traded in the Colloseum for a gem box.

Exp Egg
Absolutely essential for levelling up, this doubles all experienced earned for a character. Equipping an additional Exp Egg has no effect. It can be obtained by completing a sidequest in Darril's Tomb or by betting an Elixir in the Colloseum and continuing to bet the next item until you get a Exp Egg. The last item bet in the sequence is a Tintinabar.

Fairy Ring
Protects against poison and dark. Can be bought in the world of balance and ruin.

Fake Moustache
Changes Relm's sketch command into control, which lets you pick an attack for the monster to do. Can be found in the world of ruin inside the Zone eater.

Gale Hairpin
Raises pre-emptive attack rate. Can be found in the world of balance and bought in the world of ruin.

Gauntlet
One weapon can be held in both hands for extra damage. Can be found in the world of ruin, and obtained in the world of balance if you choose to have Terra join Banon right away. Not as useful as the genji glove.

Gem Box
Allows the wearer to cast two spells in one turn. Can only be found in the fanatic's tower. Can be traded for an economizer in the colloseum.

Genji Glove
Allows the character to equip a second weapon instead of a shield. Very useful for dealing extra damage and very powerful if paired with the offering. Can be found in the world of balance and ruin and obtained if Terra refuses to join Banon at first and talks to a nearby guard.

Goggles
Prevents dark status. Since dark status doesn't do anything thanks to the evade bug, this relic is worthless. Can be bought in the world of balance and ruin.

Gold Hairpin
Halves MP consumed. Can be found in the world of ruin, traded for in the Colleseum, and obtained if you choose to sacrifice Mog in the world of balance.

Guard Ring

Memento Ring
Protects against zombie, stone, death, and many fatal attacks. Relm starts with this and a second one can be found in Strago's house, second floor, on the left wall. Only Shadow and Relm can equip this, and its hinted that its because of the dead love of Relm's mother/Shadow's wife.

Offering
Quite possibly the best relic in the game. Allows you to attack four times and never miss.

No critical hits or spells cast by weapons are allowed and damage is half as strong as normal. Can only be found by fighting the Katana Soul in the ancient castle.
