Accessory (XC2)

Accessories are a type of item in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna ~ The Golden Country. Drivers can equip them to improve their capabilities in battle. Accessories can be equipped by going into the Characters submenu, selecting a Driver, and then selecting Accessories. The player's full list of accessories can be seen in the Item List, marked by a ring icon.

Ordinarily, each Driver can equip up to two accessories at once. In, this can be increased to three for each Driver.

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).

Types
Accessories can be categorised in various ways besides name and/or effect.

Each accessory has a rarity of either Common, Rare, or Legendary, represented by one, two, or three diamonds respectively. Accessories with a higher rarity have a stronger effect than otherwise identical accessories with a lower rarity. Most accessories, with a handful of exceptions, come in any rarity; those with different rarity are typically found from different sources, although those with different rarity but the same name can often be found in the same region.

Accessories are internally subdivided into the following categories: Pressing minus when selecting an accessory in the menu provides options to sort by category, or to prioritise one category of accessory at the top of the list.

Each accessory also has one of ten icons, such as a belt, a ring, or a cube. This is purely for flavour and has no gameplay effect. The icon typically corresponds to the accessory's name, although not always (for example, the Beast-Hide Vest uses the belt icon rather than the vest icon).
