An Introduction to Mix Lists¶

To those of you who played FFX, Mix needs no introduction. Mix is an ability of the Alchemist Dressphere in which you combine any two of a certain 68 items (mostly battle items) and obtain a certain effect. This means that there are 4,624 possible combinations, and there are also 53 actual items that can be made via Mix, an average of 87 possible combinations per item. (Then again, some have less, and some more. Like, Ultra Potion is 512 combos by itself, nearly 11% of all combos.) Thus, Mix is one of the most accessible skills and, while not as abusable as in FFX, the Mixes still present a versatile and useful set of items no one will really want to avoid and are, in fact, the highlight of the Alchemist job.

Within the scope of this section, we will first begin by exploring the effects of the 53 Mix combinations, which will be the next section.
