Introduction

Many item descriptions do not fully describe their effects. This article is designed to help you become acquainted with such items and how to use them.

Latent Effects
Item attributes that are triggered under certain, unstated circumstances.
Hidden Effects
Item attributes that are not reflected in the item description at all.

Some effects are both latent and hidden.

Warning

Before assuming an item on this page is available in-game, please double check. These lists contain hundreds of different items with latents and would take a lot of time to go through and edit out anything out of era.

HP-triggered Effects

The following weapons' damage ratings vary depending on the wielder's current HP.

Item Hidden Effect Trigger
Amanojaku (Katana) DMG rating increases as HP decreases. See Amanojaku page for details.
Valiant Knife (Dagger) DMG rating increases as HP decreases. See Valiant Knife page for details.


The following weapons' accuracy ratings vary depending on the wielder's current HP.

Item Hidden Effect Trigger

HP-and-TP-triggered Effects

The following job-specific rings and earrings have latent effects that are only active when the following two conditions are met: your HP is low and your TP is below 100%. When only one of these two conditions are met, the effects are not active.

Note that when the table says "HP ≤ 75%" that means that <hpp> should expand to 75% or less, which means current HP is anything under 76% of current maximum HP. If you have 1001 maximum HP, 76% of that is 760.76, so the latent will be active at 760 HP.

Some of these items ignore the effects of Convert HP to MP gear on your maximum HP, so the latent can be active much higher than 76% of your actual maximum HP. Two such are Sorcerer's Ring and Conjurer's Ring. However, Minstrel's Ring and Medicine Ring do not work this way, they just use your maximum HP.

TP-related Effects

The following set of weapons have latent (and hidden) effects when the person using them has less than 100% TP. Note that the effect is active during weapon skills because of the order in which events occur while using a weapon skill--TP is set to zero before the weapon skill activates. Also, the single-handed ones work regardless of whether they are equipped in the main or sub slot.

Weapon Skill Point Effects

The following weapons have latent effects that are governed by a system that keeps track of how many Weapon Skill Points you have accrued using them on Easy Prey or harder enemies. Single-handed weapons need to be equipped in the main slot in order to advance this counter.

Each weapon skill you perform using these weapons on Easy Prey or tougher enemies grants you a number of points as follows:

1 point for a weapon skill that does not produce a skillchain effect
2 points for a weapon skill that produces a level 1 skillchain effect
3 points for a weapon skill that produces a level 2 skillchain effect
5 points for a weapon skill that produces a level 3 skillchain effect

Weapons "of trials" are involved in obtaining quested weapon skills. The holder of the weapon must accrue 300 weapon skill points to deactivate the latent and then return it to the quest giver before continuing in the quest.

Weapons from the various 30-Kindred's Seal BCNMs require the holder to accrue 500 weapon skill points to activate the latent high damage rating (and on most, critical hit rate). Note that the critical hit rate modifier does apply to all attacks while that unlocked weapon is equipped.

Relic Weapons

In addition to its other unique characteristics, each fully-upgraded relic weapon can occasionally double or triple their base damage.
During this effect, the base damage formula becomes : floor( (D+ (aD) + fSTR(2)) * n)
where n is the hidden n-fold damage multiplier of a particular weapon.

  • This increased base damage cannot be activated during weapon skills.
  • Although it is possible for the 3x damage effect of Mandau to occur during Sneak Attack and Trick Attack when Thief is set as the main job or sub job.

Elemental Gorgets

Elemental Gorgets are rewards of the quest In the Name of Science. These gorgets improve both Weapon Skill accuracy (by unknown amount) and TP Modifier by 25/256 (0.0976...). To trigger the effects, the player must use a Weapon Skill with the same Skillchain property as the gorget name.

For example:


Relic Weapon skills have the ability to continue level 3 skillchain (Light/Darkness) once, but the Light/Darkness attribute does not contribute to elemental attribute of the following gorgets

For example:
