It’s a new world with new rules when it comes to equipment.
In FFX, there are several slots that can be filled with any other number of abilities. You can’t control the placement of these abilities until a ways into the journey, so in the meantime you’ll have to take what Spira gives you from chests, drops, and shops.
That said, there are still plenty of great early-game weapons to pick up.
Which weapons are the best for each character in your party? That’s a question that’s on many adventurers’ minds, and one that can be difficult to answer. There are a number of factors to consider when choosing which weapons to bring along on your adventure, including the character’s class, race, and weapon proficiency. Here are some of the better weapons you can get early in your adventure, based on these factors:
- Swords are great for characters who have a high Strength stat.
- Axes are great for characters who have a high Strength and Constitution stat.
- Maces are great for characters who have a high Strength and Constitution stat, as well as low Defense stats.
- Spears are good for characters with low Defense stats. ..
Tidus – Brotherhood
Tidus obtains the Brotherhood sword before even officially starting his journey out of Besaid – and it will be a major help on his way. ..
After a certain point in the story, the protagonist’s strength increases by 10%.
The weapon is great for someone who wants to stay with it for a while. It has Break Damage Limit, which is a great feature.
To get Brotherhood, you must complete the story. ..
Wakka – TKO
After traversing Mushroom Rock, Tidus and crew get caught up in the risky Operation Mi’ihen. ..
In the current conflict, our old friend O’aka XXIII is selling weapons and sundries.
Wakka’s TKO ball is a powerful weapon that he has at his disposal.
The TKO has a built-in Stonetouch feature that has a fair chance of instantly petrifying an enemy (which is a KO). ..
When paired with Wakka’s high accuracy, the weapon becomes amazing on its own. ..
This ball is perfect for disciplining unruly children or enemies. It can cause them to cower in fear. ..
How to get:
- Head to Mushroom Rock Road and buy from O’aka XXIII.
- Enjoy your purchase!
Auron – Fireblade
When you first reach the Mi’ihen Highroad, you’ll find a new set of roaming fiends. ..
Some of these newcomers stand out for having unusually high drop rates for weapons and gear.
The best bomb is the one that kills the most people.
Farming thermal creatures to get Auron’s Fireblade weapon will be a big help for the next few areas and bosses. (And the grind will more than likely get you plenty of AP and a few armor pieces too, which never hurts.) ..
Auron is known for his big swings and big hits.
Elemental damage is a great idea for the early game, as it will scare many fiends. ..
- Defeat the Farm Bomb enemies in Mi’ihen Highroad.
- Collect the Farm Bomb parts to create a Farm Bomb.
- Use the Farm Bombs to destroy the obstacles in Mi’ihen Highroad.
Kimahri – Hypnos Spear
Kimahri’s accuracy is almost on par with Wakka, which also makes him a good candidate for status infliction. ..
The best early-game spear to get for this purpose is the Hypnos Spear. It comes with Sleepstrike.
Sleepstrike puts enemies to sleep, which is more effective than the weaker Sleeptouch ability.
In a game of strategy, it is important to take advantage of your opponents’ inattention. ..
To get the spear required reloading and loading, because it was a drop from the boss of Operation Mi’ihen: Sinspawn Gui specifically the head. ..
To defeat him, practice getting good at defeating him. This will help you get your spear and Kimahri will become a powerful tool for subduing random battles.
This is an article about how to get an Overkill, which will give you a considerable AP boost as well.
To get a rare drop from Sinspawn Gui, you will need to complete the following steps:
- Talk to the Sinspawn Gui in the Tower of Life.
- He will give you a spear if you complete his quest.
Yuna – Rod of Wisdom
The Cloister of Trials are a place where summoners can find powerful rewards for their efforts.
The first is to complete the trial and the second is to survive for as long as possible.
To find the Chamber of the Fayth and to find the hidden treasure.
The optional extended parts of the Cloister’s puzzles are always worth it. ..
Besaid Island’s Cloister, the first you solve, has the Rod of Wisdom. It’s an optional prize, so you’ll have to specifically solve a separate part of the puzzle for this. ..
This weapon is incredibly helpful for those who are just leaving Besaid. With Sensor and Magic +8%, it gives the user a lot of protection in case they need to leave quickly.
This video guide will show you how to get a hidden treasure in the Besaid Cloister of Trials. By following this guide, you can get your hands on a valuable item that will help you in your trials.
Lulu – Magical Mog
Lulu is a small, unassuming animal that doesn’t seem to need much in the way of weaponry to protect itself. ..
She is more concerned with the mental and emotional aspects of a fight. ..
Lulu is looking for a way to get more magic power. The more magic power she has, the better. ..
If you’ve ever played FFX before then you know her magic speaks for itself. But what about an early weapon for her? In this article, we’re going to take a look at the best early weapons for the FFX heroine.
The Besaid weapon shop is a great place to get your hands on the humble Magical Mog weapon. This weapon offers a simple Magic +3% which is enough to take you all the way to customizing abilities onto whatever stuffed creature she wants to carry around.
How to get the Besaid weapon shop’s new weapon: Simply buy one from the shop before leaving the island.
Rikku – Break Claw
After Rikku joins your party, you can customize weapons and armor to fit your unique playstyle.
Early in the game, you won’t have many items to make things too great. This means you’ll largely be at the whim of chests, drops, and stores. ..
Rikku can greatly help herself by taking some help from others.
After the Djose Highroad, turn around and head back to the main road. This will take a little while, but it’s worth it to fight Basilisks.
Rikku can steal Petrify Grenades from enemies. ..
And ten customization options are available for Stonetouch, including sixty Petrify Grenades for Stokestrike. ..
This makes her another character that can petrify enemies and in turn, finish them quickly.
If you want to go crazy and steal 60 grenades to customize a weapon with Stonestrike, I’m happy to oblige. That would make the petrify effect nearly 100% effective!
To get Rikku’s Steal ability, you’ll need to go back to the Djose Highroad. There, you can steal Petrify grenades from Basilisks (10 or 60). Once you have them, you can customize Stonetouch or Stonestrike onto her default weapon. ..
