Final Fantasy 16 (XVI) All Accessory Locations

This guide shows all Accessory Locations in Final Fantasy XVI. Accessories can be equipped for passive buffs. Here you find a list of all Accessories in the game and where to locate them. The accessories can be upgraded even further in New Game+ by combining two of the same type at the blacksmith. Knowing where to locate the Accessories is good preparation for a Final Fantasy Mode playthrough.

Most of them come as automatic quest rewards or by buying/crafting them. Some are found in chests. There’s a Point of No Return in Main Quest 25: The Dame and you can’t go back to some story areas before this. All locations after the Point of No Return can be revisited in free-roam and Stage Replay after the story. This guide lists everything in chronological order when it first becomes available. The accessory effects are also included so you can quickly see what’s worth getting. There are enough materials to craft every item in the game if you don’t sell anything.
