Accessory (XC3)

Accessories are items in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. They boost the character's stats or give them special abilities. Heroes have accessories preassigned to them that can only be changed after beating the game.

Overview
Accessories can be purchased from s, found in Supply Drops, obtained via enemy drops, or by completing s.

The number of accessories that a character can equip depends upon their :
 * Characters below level 30 can only equip one accessory.
 * Characters from level 30-49 can equip two accessories.
 * Characters at level 50 and above can equip three accessories.

A character cannot equip two accessories that have the exact same qualitative effect, even if the strength of their effects are different (e.g. if a character has equipped an accessory that gives them a 15% boost to, they cannot simultaneously equip an accessory that provides them a 25% boost to Agility). However, it is possible to equip two accessories that improve the same attribute if their effect is different (in the previous example, it would be possible to simultaneously equip an accessory that increases Agility by 100).

Some accessories are assigned a role —, , or — if their effect is particularly beneficial to a fighter of that role. When equipping accessories, those of the character's role will be marked with an icon.

Accessories can be favourited in the menu using the Y button. When choosing accessories in the menu, five sorting options are provided (selectable by pressing minus):
 * Chronological (from most-recently-acquired to least recent)
 * Recommended (placing accessories whose role matches that of the character at the top of the list)
 * Favourites (favourited accessories at the top of the list)
 * Name (alphabetical order)
 * Category (grouping together accessories with the same qualitative effect)
