|---|---|---|---|
| Rage ring | Umaro | Gives Umaro a special attack. | Found in the cave in the veldt in the world of ruin. |

Field effect
- Sprint Shoes;
Doubles walking speed in towns and dungeons. Can be bought everywhere.
- Tintinabar;
Recovers HP with each step. Is part of the exp egg sequence at the Coliseum where you keep trading the result of trading elixirs, and can be obtained by performing well for the emperor at the banquet and sending all the letters for the soldier in Mobliz, both in the world of balance.
- 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 Coliseum.
Status immunity
- Star Pendant;
Prevents poison. Can be bought in both worlds.
- 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.
- Jewel Ring;
Protects against petrify. Can be bought in both worlds. Note that it doesn't protect against Dark even though the description says it does.
- Fairy Ring;
Protects against poison and dark. Can be bought in the world of balance and ruin.
- Peace Ring;
Prevents Beserk and Muddle. Can be bought in both worlds.
- Amulet;
Protects against poison, dark, and zombie. It can be bought in the world of balance and ruin.
- White Cape;
Protects against imp and mute, and adds some defence, magic defence, and a nifty 10% MBlock. Can be bought in both worlds.
- Safety Bit;
Prevents mortal magic attacks, as well as zombie, stone, and death. Can be found in the world of ruin, or morphed from certain monsters using Ragnarok, including Lvl 60 and 90 magic.
- Ribbon;
Prevents all status ailments except for Stop and Freeze. Very useful for uncursing the cursed shield. Can be found in both worlds and stolen from Brachosaurs most notably.
Affecting status
- Guard Ring;
Casts safe. Can be bought in the world of ruin.
- Wall Ring;
Casts reflect on that party member, which reflects most magical attacks to the opposite party. Can be useful for beating monsters with reflect by casting spells on your own party, or stopping all but unblockable magic attacks. A must have relic for the fanatic's tower. Can be bought in both worlds.
- 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.
- Running Shoes;
Casts haste. Can be bought in both worlds.
- Cure Ring;
Casts regen on the party member. Can be found in the world of balance and bought in the world of ruin.
- Pod Bracelet;
Casts safe and shell. Can be traded in the Coliseum for the Hero Ring, and found in the world of ruin.
- Marvel Shoes;
Casts regen, haste, safe, and shell upon your party member. Is part of the Exp Egg trading sequence, after the rename card and before the tintinabar. Continuously trade an elixir to get this.
- Cursed Ring;

Gives the character the properties of undead monsters. Found in Owzer's house in the world of ruin.

Casts Shell when HP is low. Can be bought in the world of balance and ruin.
- Mithril Glove;
Casts safe when HP is low. Can be bought in both worlds.
- Czarina Ring;
Casts safe and shell. Can be bought in the world of ruin.
Affecting attributes
- Beads;
Raises the evade attribute. Because of a bug, in the SNES version the evade attribute affects nothing and this relic is useless. It can be found in the world of balance and bought in the world of ruin.
- Zephyr Cape;
Increases Evade and Mblock attributes. Evade does nothing, but Mblock affects both physical and magical attacks.
- Hyper Wrist;
Raises vigor. Can be found in both worlds and bought in the world of ruin.
- Muscle Belt;
Raises HP by 50%. Stolen from Borras at Mt Zozo or won from the Skull Dragon.
- Sniper Sight;
Raises hit rate to 100%. Can be bought in both worlds and makes killing Cactrots easy work.
- Atlas Armlet;
Raises fight damage. It can be found in the world of balance and bought in the world of ruin.
- Hero Ring;
Increase both magic damage and physical damage by 25%. Can be found in the world of balance and ruin, and is auctioned off in Jidoor for 50000 GP in the world of ruin. The physical damage boost does not stack.
- Crystal Orb;
Raises the max MP of the character by 50%. It can be traded for in the coliseum for a muscle belt.
- Gold Hairpin;
Halves MP consumed (it's the same as if MP is raised by 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... two of Mog's stronger dances are only available BEFORE the apocolypse).
- Economizer;
One of the best relics in the game, it reduces all casting costs to 1 (it's the same as if the MP attribute was maximized). 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 Coliseum for a gem box.
- Earrings;
Can be bought in the world of balance and ruin. Raise magic damage, and can be stacked (with another Earring or a Hero Ring)
- Exp Egg;
Absolutely essential for leveling 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, by betting an Elixir in the Coliseum and continuing to bet the next item until you get an Exp Egg (the last item bet in the sequence is a Tintinabar,) or by using the Ragnarok Esper on the Harpy monsters found on the Thamasa island in the World of Ruin (usually Ragnarok will display "Better off Tonic!" but occasionally it will show "Better off Exp. Egg!"). The last works best if the Harpy is low on health.
Affecting battle commands and actions
- Back Guard;
Prevents back attacks and pincer attacks. Can be found in the world of balance and bought in the world of ruin.
- Gale Hairpin;
Raises pre-emptive attack rate. Can be found in the world of balance and bought in the world of ruin.
- 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 coliseum, which certainly doesn't mean that you should.
- Dragoon 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.
- Dragoon Horn;
When character jumps (through either Dragoon Boots or Palidor's Sonic Dive), they attack randomly 2-4 times when they land. Can be found in the world of ruin or traded for in the Coliseum.
- Offering;
Allows you to attack four times and never miss. You can combine this with genji glove to attack eight times, or combine with Thief Glove to attempt to steal four times (although, keep in mind that 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. Can only be found by fighting the Katana Soul in the ancient castle. 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.
- True Knight;
Protects party members with low HP. Can be bought in both worlds.
- Black Belt;
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.
Affecting equipment
- 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.
- 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. The first can be found very early on: have Terra refuse to help Banon repeatedly until the game takes over.
- Merit Award;
Allows any character to equip virtually any equipment. Extremely useful for powering up certain characters, allowing Gogo to use more skills, and increasing certain attributes beyond normal limits. Must be found in the Colosseum by trading the cat hood or excalipoor (GBA exclusive), which can be bought at the auction house for 500000 gil.
