Final Fantasy VIII Item List
Acquiring and Using Items
There are a ton - and I do mean a ton - of items in Final Fantasy VIII. Items come in all sorts of forms, and can be used in many ways. However, the most significant change is that you can refine some items into other items. It typically takes a large stock of an item to do any refining, but acquiring items has also been made easier from other Final Fantasy games.
Most items are gained after battles. Defeated enemies will often drop one or more of an item. The item an enemy drops depends on its level and just pure luck. Eventually, you'll also learn how to steal items from your enemies using the Mug ability. This makes it easier to gain 100 of easy-to-find items. However, some items that you steal aren't the same from what they'll drop.
Another efficient way of getting items is to refine them from cards. Using the Card Mod ability, you can easily acquire hard-to-find items. To put it another, easier way, you can almost upgrade into the strongest of weapons, almost obtain all of Quistis's Blue Magic, and teach GF's new abilities nearly close towards the end of disc two.
The most you can have of an item is 100. All others over 100 are discarded. Depending on the level, enemies will drop different items.

Lots of the common items in Final Fantasy VIII are obtained when you defeat certain enemies in battle. Rare items are obtained too, but not as much as you'd expect!
Most rare items need the help of the great "Mug" ability. You will learn to admire it when you get it!
