Sagittarius (weapon)



The Sagittarius is a recurring bow. It is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, weapons of its kind in all of its appearances.

Final Fantasy XI
While there is a Sagittarius' bow in the game data, there is no way to obtain it. There is a Notorious Monster by the name Sagittarius X-XIII, however, it drops the Loxley Bow.

Final Fantasy XII
The Sagittarius is the the strongest bow available in the regular version of Final Fantasy XII. Its license can be found in mid-bottom of a License Board for 120 License points, and the bow has 93 Attack power. Bows are among the slowest weapons in the game with 2.96s charge, and 1.4s action time.

It is named Silver Bow in the Bazaar price list, and costs 60,000 gil. Similar to other powerful weapons, the Sagittarius requires several rare loots to synthesize:

In the International Zodiac Job System version, the Archer class may equip the Sagittarius with its eponymous license for 130 LP. There is also a Sagittarius A which has an attack power of 109 and gives a +10 to Evasion. It is acquired by selling the same loot required to get the regular Sagittarius in the original version.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
Sagittarius is Fran's strongest weapon. It has the Attack power of 100 with Magic power of 50 and Speed of 60. It is mission reward for completing Mission #25: "An Uninvited Invitation". It uses a generic bow sprite during battle.

Final Fantasy XIII-2
The Sagittarius bow is one of the strongest bows in Final Fantasy XIII-2, for Serah, second only to Arcus Chronica. It raises Strength by 115 points and Magic by 160. It can be acquired post-game for 80,000 gil, an Inazami, two Trapezohedrons and a vial of Phoenix Blood.

Final Fantasy Tactics
The Sagittarius Bow is the strongest bow in the game, and was added in the War of the Lions remake. It can only be obtained via Multiplayer mode.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time
Sagittarius' Bow is a high-ranked bow any race can use. It provides 113 attack at level 1 and 145 attack at level 30, +25 to Stun, and has one empty slot. It can be created for 1,500 gil by using up three Orichalcum, five Sahagin Fin, and one Holy Orb, and only on Hard or Very Hard mode. When turned into a jewel, a level 3-9 Sagittarius' Bow makes a Holy Stone 2, level 10-19 makes a Anti-Dark Stone 4, and level 20-30 makes a Spirit Stone 5.

Etymology
Sagittarius is named after the constellation of the same name, which appropriately enough, is a Centaur archer.
