Ammunition is a weapon-component in Final Fantasy XII. A number of weapon-types need ammunition to be used. Each weapon has its own respective type of ammunition. Owning one ammunition type means the player can use an unlimited amount of it. Weapons that require ammunition never have equipped elements nor chance of inflicting statuses, instead the ammunition has these attributes.
Bows use arrows, crossbows use bolts, guns use shots, and hand-bombs use bombs.
Ammunition do not require licenses to be used.
Ammunition types (Zodiac)[]
