Part 218

Explore Part 218 of the Final Fantasy Tactics A2 guide, covering Bazaar recipes for weapons and armor, and details on finding various colored chocobos.

This section of the guide covers two main topics: the Bazaar system for crafting equipment and information on finding different colored chocobos.

The Bazaar

The Bazaar allows players to combine loot items to craft weapons and armor. This system is crucial throughout the game, especially early on when weapon variety is limited. By combining Metal, Bones, Flora, or Magicite loot, players can create items, with more components generally leading to higher-tier results (ranked E to A).
