Unlike a lot of the franchise's previous installments, Final Fantasy 16 allows players to craft their own weapons and armor. The game's Rising Tide expansion takes this idea a step further, providing them with the means to also craft their own accessories. Granted, there are only four of them available, but it remains a welcome addition to the game nonetheless.
Final Fantasy 16 DLC: How Long to Beat The Rising Tide?
With the second piece of FF16 DLC costing twice as much as the first, prospective players may want to know how long it takes to beat The Rising Tide.
In order to craft accessories, Final Fantasy 16 players will first need to complete the What Ails You side quest, which will result in Clive being given the Serpent Ring Design Draft. With this, players will be able to craft four unique accessories that reduce the cooldown time of Leviathan's Eikonic abilities. To craft the Serpent's Word, they'll need a special crafting material called Ageless Odorament.
How to Find Ageless Odorament in Final Fantasy 16 (FF16 Ageless Odorament Location)
Players can find the Ageless Odorament in a chest over on the west side of Haven. It's in the area containing crops and livestock to the left of a rather shabby-looking wooden structure and can be accessed right after players first arrive in the village. Given that there's very little reason to explore th settlement though, there's a good chance that most players will completely miss this Final Fantasy 16 crafting component and then later find themselves searching for the Ageless Odorament location.
How to Craft The Serpent's Word Accessory in Final Fantasy 16
In addition to the Ageless Odorament, players will also need two pieces of Aquamarine in order to be able to craft The Serpent's Word. Assuming they have those already to hand though, they can make their way over the forge at Haven, or the one at the Hideaway, if they've already left Mysidia. Once crafted, The Serpent's Word reduces the cooldown time of Cross Swell by 2.0 seconds, which can make a huge difference in combat. For those unaware, Cross Swell is one of the best Leviathan Eikonic abilities when facing large groups of enemies, as it allows players to pull them all together into one place and then crush them with their hardest attacks.
