All Poachable Items in FFT: The Ivalice Chronicles – Completing & Solving

Select Language:

While mastering combat and job skills are crucial in Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, some of the most valuable items aren’t dropped by enemies—these rare treasures are hidden in the wild monsters of Ivalice. Poaching is a special ability that some squires can learn, allowing you to collect these secret items.

This skill can help you acquire powerful gear, rare materials, and legendary weapons, which are essential for improving your team and gaining an advantage. Mastering poaching involves understanding the process and knowing what loot is available.

Updated on February 3, 2026, this guide now includes a reliable way to ensure you only get rare items when poaching targets.

How to Poach

Poaching is simple but important. Here’s how it works:

1. Pick up the Poach Support ability from the Thief job and equip it to your chosen Poacher.
2. When a unit with Poach lands the killing hit on a monster, you’ll automatically collect that monster’s carcass. The monster can’t be revived afterward.
3. The carcass can be either common or rare, with rare ones marked by a small icon.

Should You Poach Wild or Bred Monsters?

You have two main sources for monsters:

• Wild Monsters: These are enemies you fight during random or story battles. Poaching them is quick and effective for immediate rewards.
• Bred Monsters: These are monsters you raise by breeding them through the Orator job. Although it takes more time, this method allows you to farm specific, strong monsters repeatedly.

How to Guarantee Rare Poaches

To increase your chances of getting rare items, it’s best to bring bred monsters into battles and poach them yourself. This method offers complete control over your targets, and you can attempt to get rare drops without hunting for new monsters in the wild.

Once you’ve bred your target monster, deploy it in an easy battle, such as on Mandalia Plains, along with a unit equipped with Poach. Your goal is to kill your own monster quickly—preferably on the first turn—to avoid interference from other enemies.

Pro Tips:

• Ninja characters are excellent for poaching thanks to their high Speed and Dual Wield, allowing for large damage output.
• Dragoons with strong spears can often take down monsters from two spaces away, avoiding counters.
• Monks and Knights who have been your main damage sources throughout the game also work well.

Rare drops have about a 12.5% chance to be obtained. When poaching, check the text box for a ✨ icon—this indicates you’ve secured the rare carcass. If a common item drops instead, don’t end the battle. The game autosaves each turn, so you can reload that save and retry. Adjust your actions slightly—such as moving to a different tile or attacking from another angle—and try again to increase your chances of success without restarting the entire battle.

All Poachable Items

Some items can’t be purchased at Outfitters and are only obtainable through poaching, making them vital for the Rare Wares achievement. Below is a list of every poachable item and the monsters they come from, with each monster having a common and a rare drop. The chance of getting the rare item is approximately ten percent.

Tip: For easy rare drops, especially when trying on monsters you breed yourself, you can reload from autosaves if you don’t get the desired result.

Items marked with a ✨ are only obtainable through poaching and aren’t available for purchase, making them essential for certain achievements. This list helps you target specific monsters to maximize your loot collection.
