Items — Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age eGuide

Items are quick, disposable, and usable by all party members. Although the use of magicks can duplicate the effect of many items, these goodies take far less time to use. Thus, items can be very handy during emergency situations. Items also don't require any MP to use, and can be used while under the effects of Silence. The "Mote" items ignore Reflect, too, allowing for creative offensive and defensive applications. The strength of Potions, Phoenix Down, Remedies, and Ethers are affected by special augmentations on the license board. Some accessories also affect item power in other ways. Wearing the Pheasant Netsuke (found in chests in Jahara, Ridorana Cataract, and Pharos Subterra) increases the potency of restoration items like Potions and Ethers by 50%. It also boosts the power of the elemental "Fang" items by 50%, too. This item allows for quirky setups where a character serves as main healer on an unconventional, non-magickal Job, like Machinist or Archer. Stranger still is the Nihopalaoa accessory (found in chests in the Henne Mines, and Pharos Subterra). Wearing this trinket inverts all disposable item effects. Potions deal damage, Phoenix Down may KO on contact like a Death spell, and status-curing items become status-inflicting poisons (for example, Echo Herbs cause Silence, and Serums cause Disease). Following this logic leads to the most powerful use: a Nihopalaoa wearer with all three Remedy Lore licenses can use Remedies on enemies to inflict up to fourteen status enfeebles at once!
