Level ✩ Dismantled Into 13 Sturdy Bones, Rough Wool (effective total value of 560 gil)
The Pearlwing Staff grants Vanille a small bonus to Magic compared to her Binding Rod, but at a large cost to Strength. Of course, by the time you find it, she will not have any Physical attack Abilities anymore, so the loss of Strength is irrelevant, making this a solid upgrade.
