Bazaar, Loot, and Monographs

is your main source of gil, but it also feeds recipes. The game remembers what you sell at any shop and unlocks a package when all of its ingredient counters are high enough.

Always Safe to Sell

These entries are not used by any recipe in the original North American PlayStation 2 release. Once they are in your inventory, they are not needed for a later quest either, so sell any quantity whenever you reach a shop.

Loot that is always safe to sell

Buying a completed package resets the sold counter for every ingredient used by that recipe, including any excess. If several wanted recipes share an ingredient, unlock all of them before buying any of them. The classic examples are the three Tournesol components and the recipes that share .

Efficient Selling

Selling does not erase recipe progress. Buying a completed package is the step that resets every ingredient counter used by that package.

Sell ordinary whenever you need gil. The counters persist between shops and visits, and a recipe’s ingredients do not have to be sold together.
Before buying a package, check whether any of its ingredients are shared by another package you want. If they are, sell enough to unlock every shared recipe before buying any of them.
For a repeatable recipe, sell only the exact batch needed for the next copy. Buying the package erases excess ingredients in its counters.
Hold rare or one-time until its planned recipe is ready. Also keep your and late-game components such as , , , and unless the route specifically tells you to use them.

Actionable Bazaar Recipes

This is a route-useful shortlist, not all 120 original-game packages. Every row becomes available after the listed ingredients have been sold to any shop.

Sell ordinary Loot when the party needs gil, but keep three Grimoire Togails and three if either late package is a deliberate goal. Buying another package does not consume unsold inventory; the important part is not forgetting why those ingredients were retained.

Sochen Cave Palace Checkpoint

Sochen offers one immediate supply package and enough local to finish two strong weapons if the party already has the remaining ingredients. The five Steals are one-time results, so plan those before treating them as ordinary gil.

Pharos First Ascent Checkpoint

Later Recipe Details

After Giruvegan Selling Checkpoint

This is a gil checkpoint more than a guaranteed new-package checkpoint. Sell common repeatable from the Feywood, Giruvegan, and the story route through the Great Crystal when the Balfonheim shops need funding. Keep the following scarce components until the whole batch is ready:

	Used by more than one late equipment package. Unlock every wanted recipe before buying one and resetting the shared counter.
