Gear

Gear is equipment that can be equipped to the entire party, thus allowing Adol's party to perform certain actions.

Previously, this gear was mixed with items or accessories to be equipped by Adol or Yunica, Hugo and Toal. With the introduction of the Party System, it has been moved into a separate category.

Gear is called differently in each game, but it all works almost the same. Some gear even shares the same names across different titles.
