Power Wrist (Final Fantasy IX)

The Power Wrist is an endgame arm guard in Final Fantasy IX that everyone besides Steiner and Freya can wear. It teaches Accuracy+, which ensures the character's Attack command will not miss. The wrist gives a level up bonus to the wearer's Strength, and is among the best equipment pieces to wear for level grinding.
==Obtain==
The Power Wrist is bought in Daguerreo for 5100 gil. It becomes available at the end of the game when Daguerreo's shops gain new wares.
==Mechanics==
The Power Wrist provides 30 physical Evasion and 10 Magic Evasion. The wrist gives a +2 bonus to the wearer's Strength when they level up with it equipped. When enough "bonuses" upon level up from gear have been accrued, the character gains a permanent stat increase. Strength is used in damage calculations and determines the character's HP growth.
==Use==
The Power Wrist is a good arm guard for the endgame for Zidane and Amarant, and perhaps also Quina, though the first two have likely mastered Accuracy+ already. The wrist's level up bonus is good if the player decides to level-grind, though grinding and min-maxing are unnecessary in a normal playthrough even when preparing for superbosses. For pure stat-raising reasons, N-Kai Armlet (Spirit +2) and the Power Wrist are the best options.
Though the guests from Tantalus can also equip the armlet, the player cannot see this in a normal playthrough.
