Weapons and armor in Metaphor: ReFantazio can give characters bonuses to their stats or grant them special effects, such as the ability to nullify elemental magic like ice. While these effects are nice bonuses, they can be rare compared to accessories, which is exactly the point of the items.

There are many accessories scattered around Metaphor: ReFantazio, from dungeons to side quests, and finding them all can be difficult. Getting the best ones can be even more difficult if players don't know where to look. So, for the last few hours of the game, let's go through where best endgame accessories are and rank them by their effects.

7 Prowler's Pipe

Increase the theft rate

• Place: Kriegante Castle

The Prowler's Pipe can be obtained relatively early in the game and yet its usefulness will persist throughout. This accessory will increase the chances of stealing an item from an enemy via the Steal command from the Thief Archetype.

To gain the upper hand, it's a good idea to always try to steal from enemies, especially bosses, to get rare gear. Players can unlock this archetype when Heismay enters the party. The accessory itself can be found in the sewers of Kriegante Castle, one of the Metaphor: ReFantazio's many dungeons.

6 Ghostly doll

• Place: Grand Trad (Gloamhall)

The Ghostly doll can also be purchased early Metaphor: ReFantazio, although it will cost a lot of Reeve (money). At night, players can visit Gloamhall, an accessory shop within Grand Trad. This accessory can give the user an extra turn in battle, which will be useful in many situations.

For example, giving this accessory to someone in the party who is a good healer would be wise so they can cast multiple healing spells in a row. It should be noted that Phantasmal Doll does not grant a free extra turn. Instead, the character with the accessory equipped can go twice by eating someone else's turn in the order rotation. It might sound a bit confusing for a turn-based RPG, but with practice it will make sense.

5 Overlord's Sash

Increase the MP cost and power of synthesis attacks

• Place: Port Brilehaven (Arena)

The Overlord's Sash is a prize players can get if they participate in the arena within Port Brilehaven. Arenas, colosseums, tournaments and so on are classic RPG side quests. IN Metaphor: ReFantazioplayers have to fight their way through the bronze, silver and gold levels, and after each encounter they receive a rare prize.

The Overlord's Sash will increase the MP cost of Synthesis attacks i Metaphor: ReFantazio, which may sound bad. In battle, certain archetypes can work together for double or triple attacks via the synthesis process. In exchange for the extra cost of MP, the power of these attacks will be increased, so it's well worth it.

4 Full Moon Medal

Restore MP every turn

• Place: Port Brilehaven (Arena)

The Full Moon Medal is also a prize won in the arena, but it is one of the last that players will receive. It will restore a lot of MP on the equipped character every time they get a turn. There aren't many ways to restore MP in battle, as healing MP items are rare in Metaphor: ReFantazio. This is why accessories like the Full Moon Medal are so valuable.

There is another accessory that players should track down if they want the same effect in battle but for HP restoration instead. It's called Regeneration Bell, but of the two, Full Moon Medal is superior, since there are already so many ways to heal HP.

3 Seraphic lighter

Get Mage Omniscient Spell

• Place: Grand Trad (Lycaon Magic Association)

The Seraphic lighter can be purchased at the Lycaon Magic Association in Grand Trad. This store is closely related to one of the Metaphor: ReFantazio's many followers, Brigitta. The deeper players delve into their bond with Brigitta, the more they will unlock for this store.

Even when the Seraphic Igniter can be seen, it won't be easy to get, as it is one of the most expensive items in the game. That said, it's worth it. This special Igniter will grant the user the spell Mage Omniscience, which is a strong Omnipotent attack that can hit all enemies at once.

2 Venomward Charm

Prevents status effects and increases all stats by 3

• Place: Port Brilehaven (Gold Beetle Reward)

The Venomward Charm is tied for one of the hardest side quests in the game. Players can find gold beetles on their travels initially, but until they get to Port Brilehaven, they will be unclear as to how to use them. Here, near the arena, players will encounter an old man named Elderly Entomophile.

Completing certain objectives in this quest will unlock rewards, and players can obtain the Venomward Charm through these attempts. This accessory will prevent status effects such as Poison, Malady, Paralysis, Hex, Burn and Frostbite. There are other ways to block status effects Metaphor: ReFantazio, from armor to passive skills from archetypes, but the more the merrier they say.

1 Radiant crystal

All stats +8

The Radiant crystal is an absolute treasure of an accessory, and getting it will take some patience. There is a side quest at the end of the game where players must fight three dragons, which then send them back to an ancient dungeon, the Dragon Temple. This is where the players will meet Metaphor: ReFantazio's toughest boss, Elegy of the Soul.

Once defeated players can get a great sword for the hero along with the radiant crystal, which will raise all stats by 8. There is another good accessory that can also raise stats, the Rainbow Scale, but it only raises them by 5. Either ways, a good set of stats can easily make any hero stronger, from increasing their speed to buffing magic attack power.
