Synthesis Shop in Lindblum.
Synthesis in Final Fantasy IX is the art of combining two items or equipment pieces to make one newer, better item or equipment piece, which often cannot be bought from regular shops. Synthesis can only be done at special shops called Synthesis Shops, which are scattered throughout Gaia.
The original game was released on four discs for the PlayStation. The later digital releases are not partitioned like this. However, some synthesis options are only available within certain times, and on which "disc" they are available is still used for this article.
- Disc 1 ends after the boss battles in Burmecia.
- Disc 2 ends after the battle outside the Iifa Tree involving the Alexandrian navy.
- Disc 3 ends upon gaining the Invincible airship (although the point of no return is going through the Shimmering Island).
- Disc 4 is the endgame where the only remaining story objective is the final dungeon.
Synthesizing 10 and 30 items yields achievements in the mobile and Steam versions.
