== Affecting attributes ==
All these relics increase one or more attributes of the wearer. 
{|{{prettytable|sortable=1}}
!width="110"| Name !! Effect !! Location (price)
|-
! Prayer Beads 
| Evade +20% <br/> (in the SNES version the evade attribute affects nothing). || It can be found in the world of balance and bought in the world of ruin.

|-
! Sniper  
| Hit rate = 100%. <br/> It makes killing Cactuars easy work. || Can be bought in both worlds.
|-
! Gigas Glove 
| Physical damage +50%. <br/> Does not stack. || It can be found in the world of balance and bought in the world of ruin.
|-
! Gauntlet
| Increases physical damage (holding a weapon with two hands). Not as useful as the genji glove. || 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.
|-
! Genji Glove
| Increases physical damage by equipping a second weapon instead of a shield. Very useful for dealing extra damage and very powerful if paired with the offering. <br/> Cannot be used by Umaro. || The first can be found very early on: have Terra refuse to help Banon repeatedly until the game takes over.
|-
! Hero Ring 
| Magic damage +25%, physical damage +25%. <br/> Magic damage stacks. || Can be found in the world of balance and ruin, and is auctioned off in Jidoor for 50000 GP in the world of ruin. 
|-
! Earrings 
| Magic damage +25%; can be stacked. || Can be bought in the world of balance and ruin. 
|-
! Crystal Orb 
| Max MP +50%. || It can be traded for in the coliseum for a muscle belt.
|-
! Gold Hairpin 
| Halves MP consumed (same as if Max MP +100%). || Can be found in the world of ruin, traded for in the Coliseum, and obtained if you choose to sacrifice Mog in the world of balance (not wise: the Water Harmony is only available before the cataclysm in the older versions. In the GBA version, Leviathan offers one last chance to obtain the dance.
|-
! Celestriad (Economizer)
| It reduces all spellcasting costs to 1 (same as if MP was maximized). <br/> Cannot be used by Umaro. || Can be won in the world of ruin from Brachiosaurs in the dinosaur forest (north of the veldt), stolen from Galypdes (Aquila) in the phoenix cave, or by betting a Soul of Thamasa (Gem Box) in the Coliseum (It's best not to do this, as Souls of Thamasa can only be obtained once in the SNES version. Blue Glutturns have them in infinite supply in the GBA version. This is dangerous due to their use of Punish and Blaster.  
|-
! Growth Egg (EXP Egg)
| Doubles experienced earned by the character. Does not stack. || It can be obtained by completing a sidequest in [[Final Fantasy VI/Chapter 11: From Cid's Island to Darill's Tomb|Darril's Tomb]], by betting an Elixir in the Coliseum and continuing to bet the next item until you get one (the last item bet in the sequence is a Tintinnabulum [Tintinnabar],) or by morphing  the Harpy monsters found on the Thamasa island in the World of Ruin (usually Ragnarok will display "I dub thee Potion!" but occasionally it will show "I dub thee Growth Egg!"). The last works best if the Harpy is low on health.
|}

== Affecting battle commands and actions ==
All these relics allow the wearer to perform extra actions in battle, or prevent opponents from performing some actions (alarm earring/back guard).
{|{{prettytable|sortable=1}}
!width="110"| Name !! Effect !! Location (price)
|-
! Alarm Earring

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

|-
! Merit Award

|-
! Soul of Thamasa (Gem Box)
| Allows the wearer to cast two spells in one turn. <br/> Cannot be used by Umaro. || Can only be found in the [[Final Fantasy VI/SQ: Fanatic's Tower|fanatic's tower]]. Can be traded for a celestriad/economizer in the coliseum, which certainly doesn't mean that you should. Can be stolen from Red Glutturns in the Soul Shrine which is highly dangerous due to them casting Ultima every turn unless Runic is used.

|-
! Master's Scroll (Offering)
| Allows to attack four times and never miss. It can be combined with Genji Glove to attack eight times, or with Thief Glove to attempt to steal four times (you will lose whatever item after your first successful steal). No critical hits or spells cast by weapons are allowed and damage is half as strong as normal. Special exceptions: Fixed Dice, Dice's damage are not cut in half, Tempest's random Wind Slash still works and doesn't have its damage cut in half, Atma Weapon damage is not halved. || Can be found by fighting the Samurai Soul in the [[Final Fantasy VI/SQ: Edgar|ancient castle]] or by stealing from a Yellow Glutturn in the Soul Shrine if the player can brave its status attacks such as Diabolic Whistle and Disaster.
|-
