Darkness

Halves the target's physical accuracy; cured with Esuna 1 or eye drops
Weapons Dark Bow
Spells Blind
Monsters Pit Fiend, Shadow
Darkness is an annoying Status Ailment more because of its permanent nature than its effect. While half accuracy is problematic for front-line fighters, few Monsters have the evasion to really take advantage of it. Darkness causes more problems for Monsters, especially if you're already evading half of their attacks. But as a permanent Status Ailment, a Character afflicted with Darkness gains no progress after a battle. Fortunately, Esuna 1 is enough to cure Darkness, even curing multiple party members when used outside of combat.

Blind

Type Permanent
Blinded creatures have their Accuracy and Magic Accuracy reduced by half.
