Purchase All New Accessories
Each time you reach a new town in Bravely Default 2, make sure to hit up the merchant. Not only will you find new weapons and armor to purchase, you’ll also gain access to a slew of new accessories that will be extremely helpful in combat.
Of course, it’s worth noting that you can get a lot of new weapons and armor just by exploring the open-world, cutting grass and trees, and opening chests, but if you’d rather gear your party before tackling the new areas, hit up the merchant.
Aside from equipment, make sure to purchase the new accessories as well. These offer a variety of elemental resistances, as well as status protections that can come in very handy for boss fights. If you find yourself completely stuck in a boss fight, chances are good that you can buy a few accessories to make things much easier on yourself.
