The Molulu's Charm is a relic only Mog can use, and completely eliminates random encounters. Molulu's Charm is found in the Moogle Cave in Narshe in the World of Ruin by inspecting the spot in the cave where Mog was found earlier. Another relic, the Ward Bangle reduces the rate of encounters by 25% and can be equipped by anyone.
The game also has a glitch that allows the player to avoid random encounters altogether even without special accessories.
Final Fantasy VIIIEdit
The abilities Enc-None and Enc-Half (エンカウント半減, Enkaunto Hangen?) can both be learned from Diablos. This is the only way to learn these abilities in the game, and they must be equipped for their effects to be put into action. These abilities will not work during the first trip to the Deep Sea Research Center, during the segment right before fighting Bahamut, as these battles are considered fixed.
Nor does it work on the player's approach towards fighting Ultima Weapon in the Deep Sea Research Center if they use Zell to open the last door, as this will lead to more fixed battles. It also does not work for the encounters with PuPu and the UFO? on the world map, which can make them easier to find.
Enc-Half takes 30 AP to learn, and Enc-None 100. Despite its name, Enc-Half reduces the amount of random encounters by 75%.
Final Fantasy XEdit
No Encounters is an auto ability that can be customized onto an armor by using 30 Purifying Salts. Armor with the No Encounters ability can be dropped by the Wraith and Ghost enemy.
Geosgaeno can drop weapons that have No Encounters attached, however there is no other way of obtaining a weapon with the No Encounters, or customizing it to a weapon. If the Geosgaeno drops an armor, then the player can never naturally obtain a weapon with No Encounters. Weapons with No Encounters aren't renamed to match the ability, but instead use the generic name for a weapon with empty ability slots, suggesting No Encounters was never intended to be equipped to a weapon.
