How to Get Every Vambrace in Final Fantasy 16

Final Fantasy 16 can be fairly challenging at times, particularly when playing the game with an Action focus or in Final Fantasy mode. As such, players will definitely want to equip Clive with all of the best gear, which means finding every weapon, every belt, and every vambrace in Final Fantasy 16 will likely be fairly high up on their to-do lists.

Final Fantasy 16: Every Belt (& How to Get Them)

Finding every belt in Final Fantasy 16 is not going to be easy, but doing so can help to make Clive’s journey across Valisthea go a lot more smoothly.

There are plenty of vambraces to choose from, most of which will need to be crafted and upgraded at The Black Hammer. However, not all of the vambraces in Final Fantasy 16 come courtesy of the hideaway’s resident blacksmith, with one or two of the game’s finer gear pieces tied to certain side quests and main story missions.
