8 BEST Accessories In FF16 After 85 Hours Experience

Starting things off with the Crimson Tassels, which will be available to purchase from Charon’s Toll inventory during the Cid the Outlaw quest. This quest, without spoiling anything, will essentially be the quest that will unlock the 2nd half of the main game, so you can best be sure to acquire it fairly into the mid-game events.

In my opinion, and after having nearly 40+ hours of experience with FF16 (PSN: Liontamer55460), this is an accessory I don’t take off now unless I want to switch builds for Clive. Limit Break is an essential component that you unlock later in the game, which can immensely help you deal enormous amounts of damage to bosses or tough enemies, and increasing its generation even by 3% makes the difference quite noticeable in-game.

The Genji Gloves are unlocked way late into FF16, but these are almost as good as any of the other best accessories as they provide a 5% damage boost for Clive. It is unlocked via the Patron’s Whisper, which is essentially a reputation-based vendor in the Hideaway that tracks renown based on quests completed and other side content.

While the effects are certainly simple enough, I still consider it to be a viable accessory that gets the job done if you want an attack boost against the tough encounters in the late-game events of Final Fantasy 16. Furthermore, if you manage to get another copy of the item in NG+, you can increase the damage boost to 10%.

Similar to the Crimson Tassels, if you’re looking to maximize the potential of Limit Break, then I recommend you to pair the Cobalt Tassels with its former counterparts.

This accessory will provide a 6% generation to Limit Break when you take damage from enemies, and while it is best that you play the maximum of your potential and dodge attacks, it is still a great accessory if you can tank damage and subsequently use Limit Break as much as possible. By crafting a +1 Cobalt Tassels in NG+, you can increase the effects to 12%.

The Titan Eikon’s Windup has been my favorite ability to use ever since I first got it, so having an accessory that can reduce its cooldown uptime is certainly pleasing, to say the least. Windup has high damage and stun properties, so it is great not only for boss fights and elite mini-bosses but also against normal trash fodder targets. The quest itself is initiated by helping Mid with her three different assignments.

Rising Flames is one of the first Eikon abilities you ever acquire in Final Fantasy 16 during the prologue with the blessing of the Phoenix. It has fantastic single-target damage, one that you can use till the endgame encounters with ease for optimal DPS. The 10% damage boost is quite noticeable, and even I myself had The Will of Fire accessory equipped for a long time before swapping my Eikon ability builds.

The best part is you can get it fairly early on in the story, as the Benedikta boss fight takes place in the beginning sections once you finish the prologue. Lastly, once you get another one in NG+, you can reinforce the Will of Fire accessory to +1, increasing the damage boost to 20%.

Scarlet Cyclone, along with Rising Flames, is another Eikon ability that you will start off with in Final Fantasy 16. The Favor of Fire (Scarlet Cyclone) allows you to increase its total damage output by 8%, which is highly beneficial early on; this will be your main ability to use for both stagger bar damage to bosses and other elite enemies. So hence why it lands in my list of the best FF16 accessories.

Be sure to keep a close eye out for the accessory, as it is unlockable via a chest located in the castle section of the Highwind questline. Upgrading it to +1 with another copy will double the damage to 16%.

Judgment Bolt is the ultimate ability of the Ramuh Eikon and deals superb damage, whether it’s a boss fight encounter or for clearing away trash fodder targets in crowd control situations.

I consider that having access to a reduced cooldown can certainly help you increase its viability in order to use it more in combat. The chest location will be fairly in your way in the quest itself, so make sure not to miss it when getting across the area towards Bahamut.

The Berserker Ring completely changes your precision dodge as Clive does a slide-like evasion and, upon doing so, grants him a brief damage-boost status.

While this can certainly cancel out those counterattack strikes, I must say, it is a personal preference if you want to use this accessory since it can drastically impact your ability build and overall playstyle. The attack boost is great, but for later sections in the game, especially in late-game, you’re better off using any other of the best FF16 accessories.
