Added by Drake ClawfangBlood Equipment (ブラッド, Buraddo?) is a recurring set of equipment in the Final Fantasy series, which most of the time focuses on draining the HP of its target and restoring the HP of the wielder, much like the Drain spell. In some games, there exists an MP-variant of the weapon that acts similarly to the spell Osmose, though it appears much more rarely compared to Blood Equipment. When a piece of Blood Equipment exists as armor it is most often as the Ensanguined Shield, which usually has excellent defenses but penalizes the user's stats in other ways. Blood Equipment has appeared since Final Fantasy II, with the appearance of the most common piece of Blood Equipment, the Blood Sword. The Blood Lance appears the most alongside the Blood Sword.

Final Fantasy IIEdit

Final Fantasy IIIEdit
The Blood Lance has an attack power of 95, and is found in the Temple of Time.
Final Fantasy IVEdit
The Blood Lance is a lance that can be equipped by Kain that is found in Eblan Castle. It has an Attack Power of 88, but decreases accuracy by 28 and lowers Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Spirit, and Stamina by 10. It drains the HP of the target when they are attacked. If used on undead enemies the enemy will be healed and the user will take damage.
Final Fantasy IV: The After YearsEdit
The Blood Lance is found in the Subterrane, and it has the same stats as it possessed in Final Fantasy IV. The Blood Harp is found within the game's code, a weapon for Edward that didn't make it to the final version of the game. It cannot be equipped normally, requiring a direct hack to the game. It has the same effect as the other blood weapons, draining the target's HP.
Final Fantasy VEdit
The Hematic Shield is a dummied out shield that is found within the game's code. The Hematic Shield can be used if the player uses a cheating device to acquire it. This shield would have fit in neatly with the Bone Mail, Thornlet, and the Cursed Ring, as it shares the combination of having high stats but a status or HP-based drawback. It would have also shared its annoyance of being auto-equipped all the time.
Final Fantasy IXEdit
The Blood Sword appears in Final Fantasy IX. It is a Shadow-elemental sword wielded by Steiner which teaches the Darkside ability. The Blood Sword has 24 Attack, and heals Steiner for the amount of damage dealt, though it damages Steiner and heals the enemy if he is fighting undead. The sword can be stolen from Tiamat or purchased in Disc 2 from Queen Stella.

Alchemists can synthesize similar high level weapons that have an HP draining characteristic, including the Bloody Sword, Bloody Rapier, and Bloody Blade, and their High Quality counterparts, the Carnage Sword, Carnage Rapier, and Carnage Blade.
