Gold Hourglass Uses

When used with the ‘Use’ command in battle, a Gold Hourglass will deal about 1000 damage to all enemies, and attempt to inflict both Slow and Delay.

You can use Gold Hourglasses to customize Slowstrike onto weapons, adding Slow to physical attacks, and Slowproof onto armor, which almost 100% negates the slow status effect.

Delay Buster and Slowga are two skills that can be learned through Aeons’ Gold Hourglasses. ..

Slowstrike and Slowproof require 30 and 20 Gold Hourglasses respectively in order to be activated. Delay Buster (Aeon) requires 30 Gold Hourglasses, while Slowga (Aeon) requires 8 Gold Hourglasses. ..

Rikku can use Gold Hourglasses to create helpful concoctions. Here are a few that stand out:

  1. Gold Hourglass Mixes for Healing: Combine a Gold Hourglass with healing items to create powerful remedies for yourself or others. Examples include using a Gold Hourglass to mix water with herbs to make a healing tea, or combining it with an Elixir of Life to heal wounds quickly.
  2. Gold Hourglass Mixes for Protection: Use a Gold Hourglass in your mixes to ward off harmful spells and attacks. Add it to potions or food items to give them extra protection against the elements, or combine it with other protective magicks like the White Magic spell Shell.
  3. Gold Hourglass Mixes for Luck: Add a little luck into your mixes with a Gold Hourglass! This magical item can help you win gambling games, find hidden treasures, and more. Try mixing it into drinks or food items before you take them on your next adventure, or keep one on hand at all times in case of bad luck! ..

Elixir+Gold Hourglass: Restores the party’s HP and MP, as well as curing all negative status effects. ..

FreedomX (Twin Stars + Gold Hourglass): Allows one party member to use abilities without spending MP for the duration of battle. ..

This potion removes all negative status effects on the party, including buffs and debuffs.

Are Gold Hourglasses Worth Farming?

I don’t think I would bother.

Slow and Delay come with their own unique skills and spells, which makes them much easier to use.

Mixing different Mix ingredients can lead to finding Rikku’s mixes elsewhere. ..
