HP-and-TP-triggered Effects
The following job-specific rings and earrings have latent effects that are only active when the following two conditions are met: your HP is low and your TP is below 100%. When only one of these two conditions are met, the effects are not active.
Note that when the table says "HP ≤ 75%" that means that <hpp> should expand to 75% or less, which means current HP is anything under 76% of current maximum HP. If you have 1001 maximum HP, 76% of that is 760.76, so the latent will be active at 760 HP.
Some of these items ignore the effects of Convert HP to MP gear on your maximum HP, so the latent can be active much higher than 76% of your actual maximum HP. Two such are Sorcerer's Ring and Conjurer's Ring. However, Minstrel's Ring and Medicine Ring do not work this way, they just use your maximum HP.

TP-related Effects
The following set of weapons have latent (and hidden) effects when the person using them has less than 100% TP. Note that the effect is active during weapon skills because of the order in which events occur while using a weapon skill--TP is set to zero before the weapon skill activates. Also, the single-handed ones work regardless of whether they are equipped in the main or sub slot.

|---|---|---|
| Wagh Baghnakhs (Hand-to-Hand) | DMG:+18 Accuracy +5 Attack +14 | < 100% TP |

Subjob-triggered Effects
The various Latent Effects on the following series of Level 30 earrings, mantles, belts, and shields are triggered simply by having the appropriate subjob.
Atypical Damage Type Weapons
Most weapons of a certain category deal the same type of damage. The following weapons are exceptions. Despite having an uncharacteristic damage type when meleeing, these weapons still use normal damage types during weapon skills.
| Item | Hidden Effect |
|---|---|
| Bourdonasse (Polearm) | Blunt damage |
| Crude Sword (Great Sword) | Blunt damage |
| Honebami (Great Katana) | Blunt damage |
| Vampiric Claws (Hand-to-Hand) | Slashing damage |

| Mensur Epee (Sword) | Piercing damage (first introduced as Slashing type) |
| Joyeuse (Sword) | Piercing damage |
| Sylphid Epee (Sword) | Piercing damage |
Elemental Staves
The Level 51 Elemental Staves have very potent hidden effects which make them useful to various jobs. These effects conform to the standard elemental strengths and weaknesses.
Weapon Skill Point Effects
The following weapons have latent effects that are governed by a system that keeps track of how many Weapon Skill Points you have accrued using them on Easy Prey or harder enemies. Single-handed weapons need to be equipped in the main slot in order to advance this counter.
Each weapon skill you perform using these weapons on Easy Prey or tougher enemies grants you a number of points as follows:
- 1 point for a weapon skill that does not produce a skillchain effect
- 2 points for a weapon skill that produces a level 1 skillchain effect
- 3 points for a weapon skill that produces a level 2 skillchain effect
- 5 points for a weapon skill that produces a level 3 skillchain effect
Weapons "of trials" are involved in obtaining quested weapon skills. The holder of the weapon must accrue 300 weapon skill points to deactivate the latent and then return it to the quest giver before continuing in the quest.
Weapons from the various 30-Kindred's Seal BCNMs require the holder to accrue 500 weapon skill points to activate the latent high damage rating (and on most, critical hit rate). Note that the critical hit rate modifier does apply to all attacks while that unlocked weapon is equipped.

Relic Weapons
In addition to its other unique characteristics, each fully-upgraded relic weapon can occasionally double or triple their base damage.
During this effect, the base damage formula becomes : floor( (D+ (aD) + fSTR(2)) * n)
where n is the hidden n-fold damage multiplier of a particular weapon.
- This increased base damage cannot be activated during weapon skills.
- Although it is possible for the 3x damage effect of Mandau to occur during Sneak Attack and Trick Attack when Thief is set as the main job or sub job.
| Item | Hidden Effect |
|---|---|
| Aegis (Shield) | Increased blocking rate |
| Amanomurakumo (Great Katana) | Occasional 2.5-fold damage |
| Annihilator (Gun) | Occasional 3-fold damage |
| Apocalypse (Scythe) | Occasional 2-fold damage |
| Bravura (Great Axe) | Occasional 2-fold damage |

Elemental Gorgets
Elemental Gorgets are rewards of the quest In the Name of Science. These gorgets improve both Weapon Skill accuracy (by unknown amount) and TP Modifier by 25/256 (0.0976...). To trigger the effects, the player must use a Weapon Skill with the same Skillchain property as the gorget name.
- For example:
- Sidewinder has the skillchain properties of Detonation, Reverberation, and Transfixion; therefore, the Breeze Gorget, Aqua Gorget, or the Light Gorget would all enhance Sidewinder equally when equipped.
- Arching Arrow only has the skillchain property of Fusion; however, since Fusion is a combination of Transfixion and Liquefaction, either the Light Gorget or Flame Gorget will enhance Arching Arrow.
Relic Weapon skills have the ability to continue level 3 skillchain (Light/Darkness) once, but the Light/Darkness attribute does not contribute to elemental attribute of the following gorgets
- For example:
- Tachi: Kaiten has "Light and Fragmentation" properties, but the gorgets that will affect Tachi: Kaiten accuracy and damage are the Breeze Gorget and Thunder Gorgets (due to its Fragmentation property); while Light Gorget will also enhance Tachi: Kaiten, Flame Gorget (a sub element of the Light skillchain; eg: Light-Fire-Lightning-Wind) will not enhance Tachi: Kaiten.

| Aqua Gorget | Increases Weapon Skill Accuracy and Damage | Weapon Skill attribute contains Reverberation |
| Breeze Gorget | Increases Weapon Skill Accuracy and Damage | Weapon Skill attribute contains Detonation |
