Some Changes to Be Made[]

		Two things should be changed: `[[File:FFXIII Passive Ability Icon.png\|Passive]]` to `[[File:AutoAbility-lrffxiii-icon.png\|18x18px\|Auto-Ability]]` as the second one is a more recent image and for the fact passives are called "Auto-Abilities" in the game. Things like `Found in a treasure sphere in the Dead Dunes, Oasis Lighthouse (New Game+).` are misleading as they suggest it can only be found on NG+ which is not the case, while in fact it's an upgrade to an existing accessory and it kinda contradicts the information `During a New Game Plus file, finding a duplicate of a head accessory in the treasure sphere it was obtained from during a previous playthrough will cause that accessory to grow in rank.`, and should be changed to `Find a [second] duplicate <HeadAccessory>.`. Is there an article you think is of an exceptional quality? Vote for it here!

I do agree that Passives should be changed to Auto ability.

As for #2, unless you know of another way to get the same accessory in one playthrough (the dead dunes Treasure Sphere for example), an upgrade to that accessory cannot be acquired without a new game+. My suggestion is to leave the accessory upgrades as they are.

They are not duplicates, they are upgrades that replace your old accessory.

Agree on #1.

For #2, it will need changed as each accessory has 2 upgrades so having (new game +) at the end of upgrade 2 and 3 can be misleading/confusing for some but it still needs to be kept brief. I think "Find a Second/Third 'item' on a New Game +" would be ok.

I've added info to the main Head Accessories description that will help clear things up a little for now, edit as you will: "A second duplicate will add a + to the item name and will gain improved stats. A third duplicate will change the item name as well as gaining a further stat increase. Any further duplicates found will contain 2,500 gil."

Dawn Gauntlets[]

Do the Dawn Gauntlets only work on EP abilities used in battle? If so, maybe that should be noted? Same with any other abilities that might have conditions, but that's the one that's been bugging me. I kept trying to use them to reduce Chronostasis cost and thought they were bugged. I can't seem to find concrete information on how they work.

Thanks!

Dawn Gauntlets only reduce EP ability costs by 20% when in battle. I thought they would reduce costs outside of battle too when I first got them but then I learned that no Arm Accessory has any effect outside of battle just from experience playing.
