Helmets for females include the Hair Band, Tiara, Mystery Veil, and Oath Veil, and armor include the White Dress, Regal Gown, and Minerva Bustier. Most of these pieces of equipment grants bonuses to Magic, either a low bonus of +1 or a high bonus of +5, while the Minerva Bustier provides a unique combination of bonuses for females, including +25% Maximum MP, a slew of stat bonuses, and various elemental resistances and nullification.

The Minerva's Plate and Rubber Suit are the only pieces of armor that are female-exclusive, while several pieces of accessories can only be used by females, including the Ancient Aroma, the Angel Earrings, the Barette, the Cachusha, the Extension, the Maiden Prayer, and the Pearl Rouge. Each of the unique accessories raise the strength of a different element while equipped, while also providing various stat bonuses.

Various and powerful accessories are the Perfumes, including Cherche, Sortilége, Chantage, and Septième, all of which provides two positive statuses to females, with the Chantage being the most powerful out of the set of equipment, providing both Reraise and Regen on the same accessory.
