Aegis Shield: There are two of this great shield, the first is on Mt. Zozo and the second is in Kefka's Tower. Both found in chests.
Assassin: Pick one up in the Cave of the Sealed Gate. If you want more, or you missed the one in the cave, you'll have to morph Ninja, Covert, or Outsider.
Atma Weapon: Get this from the Cave of the Sealed Gate. You can also steal one from Sleep in the third tier of the final battle (common steal), however, this is after the point of no return, so make sure to get the one from the Cave of the Sealed Gate.
Aura Lance: Dropped by Poltrgeist. If you want another one, bet the Sky Render at the Colloseum (Not recommended).
Bandana: In the WoB, buy in Kohlingen, Narshe (before the Airship only), Mobilz or Nikeah. You can also steal them from Brawler, but beware that you can only find this monster on the Veldt in the WoR.
BehemothSuit: Get this from SrBehemoth. If you killed SrBehemoth with Vanish/X-Zone or Vanish/Snare, you'll never be able to get more than what you got from winning the initial boss battle; otherwise, you can get infinite quantities from the Veldt (and this item is consequently not rare, as SrBehemoth appears frequently there).
Blizzard Orb: Found in a chest in Ancient Castle. If you want another one, bet the Rage Ring at the Colloseum.
Blossom: Buy this from Albrook, Narshe (post-Airship), or Vector during the WoB. It's recommended you buy as many as you can, since this is the strongest Wind-elemental throwing item, and you can't get this in the WoR.
Boomerang: Bought in Maranda, Narshe (post-Airship), or Tzen during the WoB. If you miss buying it, note that the game will put one in your inventory during the change from WoB to WoR, so you're not totally screwed.
Buckler: Terra, Cyan, and Edgar have this equipped when you recruit them. If you want more, buy them at South Figaro or Mobilz in the WoB, or steal them from GreaseMonk.
Cards: Setzer has this equipped when he joins your party. Don't sell it.
Celes: There is only one way to miss Celes, and it's pretty hard to do: during Locke's scenario, leave South Figaro without recruiting her. The only way to do this is to utilize a glitch that allows you to walk through the guard near the start point. If you do skip Celes, Kutan, one of the Moogles from the sequence at the beginning of the game in Narshe. Kutan is vastly inferior to Celes; he can't use Espers and his equipment is restricted to the weapon he had then. At the Opera House his weapon will be removed. The worst part is that Kutan is forced into your party whenever Celes is, which means you'll be starting the WoR with him and him only. Definitely don't trigger this glitch.
Chocobo Brsh: Initially equipped by Relm.
Coin Toss: Found in a chest in the Cave of the Sealed Gate.
Coronet: Found in a chest in Kefka's Tower. If you want another one, bet Red Cap (not recommended).
Cotton Robe: Buy in South Figaro in the WoB. Strago also has one equipped when he joins your party.
Cursed Ring: Morph from SrBehemoth, Didalos or Veteran. You can also bet the Cursed Shield for this but it is a very bad idea.
Cursed Shield: Given to you by the sick old man in Narshe. Requires Locke to obtain. You lose item if you "un-curse" it and turn it into the Paladin shield; you cannot have both this shield and the Paladin shield in your inventory at any given time.
Doom Darts: Found in a chest in the Cave to Ancient Castle.
Dragon Claw: Dropped by Presenter in Daryll's Tomb. You can get two of them by killing the head and shell at the same time (Shoat works very well for this, as does Odin if you already have him for some reason).
Economizer: This Relic can be won in two ways: either by stealing from Aquila (recommended; you can do this in the Colloseum), or as a drop from Brachosaur. Both are 1/16 encounter rates and respectable oppenents, so be warned if you're trying to get 99.
Epee: Buy at Albrook, Miranda, Tzen, or Vector in the WoB. It's worthless, but it's gone after that.
Excalibur: Dropped by Goddess.
FakeMustache: It's in a chest in Zone Eater's Cave, you can get more by stealing from Still Life (rare).
Fixed Dice: Found in Kefka's Tower.
Force Armor: You can get two from chests in Fanatics Tower and Kefka's Tower. You can get a third from Storm Drgn and fourth by stealing from Guardian in KefKa's Tower.
Force Field: ForceField is used by only one enemy, Doom, and you can only fight her once. So make sure you have Strago in your party (send his party to the left at the switch room). After you've knocked off about half of her HP, she'll eventually cast ForceField. Once she casts it, waste her and this Lore is yours.
Force Shld: The 2nd best shield in the game and the biggest beneficiary of the Evade bug, this item can be found in a chest in Kefka's Tower and you can get another by frying Ice Dragon.
Forged: Buy this in Albrook, Jidoor, or Vector in the WoB. It's not very good (like most of Cyan's katanas), but it's missable, so if you want a full inventory at the end of the game.
Gauntlet: Found in Umaro's Cave and Kefka's Tower. If you want another copy, agree when Banon asks Terra to join the Returners' cause in the WoB (although the Genji Glove you can get is better).
Gem Box: Gotten at the top of Fanatics Tower.
Genji Gloves: You can get one early in the WoB by telling Banon "No" when he asks you to help the Returners, then talk to the Returner in the room directly north of the hideout entrance (this room also has a White Cape in a hidden passage), or just tell Banon "No" three times. Another is gotten in the Cave of the Sealed Gate, and a third can be found in Cyan's Dream on the train. If you want more, you can get them as a rare steal from Dragon. Be warned, Dragons have a common steal, so 7/8 of the time you'll get a Potion instead. If you intend to do this, definitely do this while on the Floating Continent, since Dragon only appears in one formation and you'll have to hope that it appears on the Veldt (it's a 1/8 chance ever time you have a battle from its Veldt Formation Pack). If you missed encountering Dragon, these copies are all you'll ever get.
Genji Helmet: You can get one in Darrill's Tomb in a chest. You can get more by betting Regal Crowns at the Colloseum, if you like; however, note that Regal Crown is also limited in quantity.
Graedus: Get this in the Cave to Ancient Castle by fighting Master Pug. If you really want another one (and I'm not sure why you would, since there are always better choices of weapons outside of the dungeon you get it in), bet Atma Weapon at the Colloseum.
Guardian: You can find one in a chest on Mt. Kolts in the WoB. If you want more, steal from Pterodon (or Merchant, but this can only be encountered during Locke's scenario).
Hair Band: Initially equipped by Celes. If you would like more, buy them in South Figaro in the WoB.
Hawk Eye: Buy from post-Airship Narshe or Thamasa in the WoB. Even if this weren't missable, you'd want a pair of these anyway, since it's Locke's best weapon by far in the WoB. In the WoR, you can't get them anymore.
Head Band: In the WoB, buy them in Albrook, Kohlingen, Jidoor, or Vector. In the WoR your only choice is to steal them from Iron Fist on the Veldt.
Heal Rod: The first Heal Rod you can get is found in a chest in Esper Mt. in the WoB. The only other copy of this item is found in the Collapsing House in the WoR; if you don't get either of these while their areas are accessible, that copy is gone forever. I advise you to bet one of them at the Colloseum to get an extra Magus Rod.
Heavy Shld: You can find a Heavy Shld in the hidden passage in the South Figaro mansion basement. In the WoB, you can buy them at Mobilz, Nikeah, or South Figaro; in the WoR your only option is to Morph for it; there are many enemies you can Morph, including Garm and pallette-swaps of the little Mag Roader, Trapper, M-TekArmor, Sky Armor, HeavyArmr, and Telstar.
Ifrit: The Esper Ifrit can be missed by not picking him up after the fight with him and Shiva. Very difficult to miss, but still possible.
Illumina: You can miss this by choosing Ragnarok (Esper) instead of Ragnarok (Sword) when the man in Narshe offers you the choice. Get this by getting Ragnarok (Sword) at the Colloseum.
Iron Armor: You can find one in the underground passage in South Figaro (and can get this any time you have access to South Figaro after reaching the Returner's Hideout). Buy more in Kohlingen, Mobilz, Narshe (pre-Airship), or Nikeah during the WoB.
Iron Helmet: Buy in Kohlingen, Mobilz, Narshe (pre-Airship), or Nikeah in the WoB. In the WoR, you will have to steal these from HeavyArmor on the Veldt.
Kodachi: Buy Kodachi in Jidoor in the WoB. This is the only place to get them.
Kotetsu: Buy in Mobilz, Narshe (pre-Airship), or Nikeah during the WoB. After the end of the WoB, there is no way to get more.
Kung Fu Suit: Equipped by Sabin when he joins you. You can also buy them in Mobilz, Nikeah, or South Figaro during the WoB.
Leather Armor: Initially equipped by Terra, Locke, Cyan, and Edgar.
Leather Hat: Initially equipped by Terra, Locke, Cyan, Edgar, and Sabin.
Magical Brsh: Found in a chest in Zone Eater's Cave.
Magus Hat: Buy this hat in Kohlingen, Mobilz, pre-Airship Narshe, or Nikeah during the WoB. After that, you can't get this anymore.
Magus Rod: You can get one by beating Dirt Drgn. If you want another, bet a Heal Rod at the Colloseum.
MetalKnuckle: Initially equipped by Sabin. It's pretty worthless, but don't sell it.
Mirage Vest: Get this by betting Thornlet at the Colloseum.
MithrilKnife: In the WoB, buy them in South Figaro and Mobilz. You can also steal them from Marshal and Pterodon (in the WoR, find them on the Veldt). Also, Terra and Gogo each have one equipped initially.
Mithril Helm: During the WoB, buy this in Miranda, Narshe (post-Airship), or Tzen. If you're in the WoR, the only way to get more of these is by Morphing (most machine enemies have them).
Mithril Mail: The easiest way to get these is to buy them from Miranda or Narshe (after getting the Airship) during the WoB. You can also steal them from ProtoArmor (find them on the Veldt in the WoR).
Mithril Pike: Initially equipped by Mog (you can get a second copy by removing it from Mog before completing the "save Terra" sequence at the beginning of the game; when he joins permanantly he'll have a new one equipped). Buy more from Maranda, Narshe (before the Airship), or Nikeah during the WoB.
Mithril Rod: Strago comes with one, and you can get more by buying them in Thamasa in the WoB. In the WoR, the only way to get these will be to get them as a rare drop from Joker on the Veldt.
Mithril Shld: In the WoB, buy this from Jidoor, Kohlingen, or Narshe (before the Airship). In the WoR, you will have to steal these from General if you want extra copies for some reason. Also, Strago, Relm, Setzer, Mog and Gogo have these equipped initially (get another from Mog by unequipping it during the "save Terra" sequence at the beginning of the game).
Momento Ring: Relm comes with one equipped; you can find another one upstairs in Strago's house in Thamasa. If you want a third (there's no reason to since no one else can use them), steal it from Wrexsoul.
Moogle Charm: Gotten from the spot of wall Mog is looking at when you recruit him in the WoR.
Morning Star: Buy Morning Star in Narshe (after the Airship) or Thamasa.
Nightshade: While there are many other missable Rages in the game, Nightshade is listed here because of how desirable a Rage it is (uses Charm, which works on ANY enemy, even the final boss) and how easy it is to miss it. In the WoR, make sure to examine the picture of flowers in the entrance of Owzer's house; this will trigger a battle with three Nightshade monsters and ensure their appearance on the Veldt later (use Fire magic to kill them). Just watch out for Charm.
Offering: Offering can be missed by opening the chest in Ancient Castle housing KatanaSoul, then running. Dont do this.
Paladin Shld: Acquired by un-cursing the Cursed Shld by fighting 256 battles when someone other than Gogo has it equipped. Note that you cannot have both this and the Cursed Shld in your inventory at the same time.
Plumed Hat: In the WoB, you can buy this item from the travelling merchant outside Gau's house, Mobliz, Nikeah, or South Figaro. Also, Strago, Relm, and Gogo have this item equipped when they are recruited.
Punisher: Found in a chest in Ancient Castle.
Rage Ring: You can get this in a chest in the Cave on the Veldt. If you want another bet the Blizzard Orb at the Colloseum.
Rainbow Brsh: You will miss this Esper if you choose the Ragnarok (Sword) from the old man in Narshe. You can't get both (except for stealing the Ragnarok (Sword) from Girl in the final battle). I recommend you choose the sword though.
Ragnarok (Esper): You will miss this Esper if you choose the Ragnarok (Sword) from the old man in Narshe. You can't get both Ragnarok (Sword) from Girl in the final battle). I recommend you choose the sword though.
Ragnarok (Sword): You will miss this weapon if you choose the Ragnarok (Esper) from the old man in Narshe. You can't get both in one playthrough, although you can also steal this item from Girl during the final battle. I advise you to take this over the Esper, since the Ragnarok (Esper) benefits can be gotten in other ways, and choosing the sword allows you to get the almighty Illumina.
Red Cap: Found in the chests on Mt. Zozo and Kefka's Tower.
Regal Crown: Found in a chest in Figaro Castle's basement. You can also bet Coronet for this.
RegalCutlass: You can find one in a chest in the basement of the mansion in South Figaro. Buy more from Narshe (before getting the Airship) or South Figaro.
Relic Ring: You can find one in the basement of Owzer's House. If you want more, you will have to Morph SrBehemoth, Didalos, or Veteran.
Ribbon: You can get four Ribbons from chests during the game. Also, AtmaWeapon and Guardian in (Kefka's Tower) each have one to Steal (note that taking the Ribbon from Guardian forces you to miss out on the Force Armor it carries). If you want more, you'll have to Morph, or steal from the rare (and dangerous) Brachosaur.
Safety Bit: You'll find a Safety Bit in Fanatics Tower and can steal a second from Doom Kefka's Tower. f you want more, Morph L.90 Magic, L.60 Magic, White Drgn, Boxed Set, Critic, Trixter, or Woolly.
Scimitar: Dropped by Blue Drgn in the hidden area of Ancient Castle. If you want another one, bet Illumina at the Colloseum (not recommended).
Shadow: The biggest missable of them all isn't an item, but rather a character. On the Floating Continent Shadow will live or die depending on your actions. If you immediately jump on the airship, you will never see him again. When you get to the the point where the game asks you if you want to jump back on the airship, WAIT. And keep waiting there, until the timer reaches 0:05. At this point, Shadow will appear, and he will jump onto the Airship along with your party, and be at the Colloseum looking for the Striker.
Sky Render: Dropped by Doom. If you would like another one, bet the Aura Lance at the Colloseum (not advised).
Snow Muffler: If you killed the living SrBehemoth with Vanish/Snare or Vanish/X-Zone, this item is limited in quantity since you cannot get infinite Behemoth Suit items. Otherwise, this item can be gotten by betting one of your (probably large) stock of Behemoth Suit armors at the colloseum.
Stray Cat: This excellent Rage is only available during the WoB, so make sure you encounter it--in the WoB it's very strong, and even in the WoR it's still very useful for its strong attack and other possibilities with the Merit Award (even without, this Rage is still very strong).
SrBehemoth: While SrBehemoth itself is not missable, it is possible to make it so it doesn't appear on the Veldt. If you use Vanish in conjunction with a "stalls final attack" move (such as X-Zone, Snare, or Odin/Raiden) to kill the first (living) form, the game will not summon the undead one, and the undead monster will not appear on the Veldt, so don't do this--he has a good Rage, and otherwise you'll only get one Behemoth Suit.
Striker: Found in the Cave on the Veldt If you want more, Morph Ninja, Covert, or Outsider. Don't sell it, because you'll need it to get Shadow.
Stunner: Found in a chest in the Fanatics Tower.
Tempest: The first one is a rare steal from Number 128 (thankfully there is no common steal, so just keep stealing until it yields the Tempest). The second copy is in the Cave to the Sealed Gate in a chest.
Thornlet: There are three ways of getting this; two of them are very difficult, and the thrid requires you to spend other very valuable items. The first is to steal it from Hidon. Hidon has a common steal alongside the rare Thornlet steal, and as he is a boss, this is very difficult (he can be fought again by talking to Gungho after you beat him until he says that Hidon has reappeared in Ebot's Rock). The second option is to Morph SrBehemoth, Didalos, or Veteran. The final (and least advisable by far) option is to bet Force Shld at the Colloseum.
Tiara: Buy in Narshe (after getting the Airship) or Thamasa in the WoB. After the Floating Continent, it's gone and can't be gotten anymore.
Tintanabar: You can obtain 2 copies fairly easily. One is obtained after Sabin's Scenario; Mobilz by mailing all the items for the injured man, while the other is obtained as the top reward for the Banquet sequence. If you want more, you can either fight Pug (a 1/16 encounter in Umaro's Cave), or Morph Stray Cat, Wild Cat, or Spek Tor.
ValiantKnife: When you recruit Locke in the WoR, you'll get one of these. Possibly Locke's best weapon, you should definitely not even think of selling it.
Water Rondo: Arguably Mog's best dance, this can only be learned while there is water terrain, that is during the WoB. Use Mog in a water battle (Lete River and Serpent Trench both work), and you'll learn this Dance. If you chose the Gold Hairpin over Mog, you'll never be able to get this Dance.
White Dress: Buy this item in Albrook, Tzen, Jidoor, or Vector in the WoB. This is the only way you can get it.
Wing Edge: One is found in a chest in Phoenix Cave, the other is in the chest in the Cave to Ancient Castle.
X-Ether: You can pick up a maximum of four X-Ethers in any given playthrough. The first one you can get is a steal from Laser Gun during the Air Force battle. Two more can be acquired from a chest in Umaro's Cave and the bucket in Ancient Castle, and a fourth is given to you by Locke after completing Phoenix Cave.
