Grimoires | Bazaar Final Fantasy XII Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Things you can buy in the bazaar section in shops are made of things you sold. Just sell proper items and in the bazaar section new sets will appear.

In the tables to follow I put things by their prices. If you can afford certain thing you can probably create it. The exceptions may be items that are alone in a set e.g. arrows - they will be cheaper than weaker arrows that are in a set with a bow, but you won't be able to create them yet.

Grimoires

In the Bazaar section often appear new items despite that you didn't sell anything. They're called "Forgotten Grimoire" and differ from one another only in the price. In fact under these names monographs are hidden - items that increase the chance that certain mobs will drop more valuable things. Each monograph is related to different class. Here they are:

Name	Is related to:	How to unlock	Price
Hunter's Monograph	Beast and avions	Appears in shop after you have defeated Thextera	18000 gil
Knight's Monograph	Giants and bugs	Talk with weapon shop owner over 30 times	19000 gil
Warmage's Monograph	Flans and undead	Read the Notice board 20 times	20000 gil
Mage's Monograph	Demons	Talk with magick shop owner over 25 times	21000 gil
Dragoon's Monograph	Dragons and plants	Read the Notice board 400 times	22000 gil
Scholar's Monograph	Constructs	Talk with armor shop owner over 15 times	22000 gil
Sage's Monograph	Elements	Talk with any shop owner over 100 times	25000 gil

There's also one more item which changes the items dropped by enemies. It's Canopic Jar. Thanks to it Arcana may drop from every mob. To be able to buy it you got to sell Phobos Glaze (prize for Gil Snapper (rank III)), Horakhty's Flame (prize for Orthros (rank V)) and Deimos Clay (prize for Trickster (rank V)). It will then appear in bazaar section under the name of "Morbid Urn"
