Ok, there are a lot of different abilities to choose from. And hopefully, this will sort it out for you.


There are a total of 47 different abilities in which you can customize to your weapons. I will give four types of information with each weapon ability:

Ability Name, Description of the Ability, if enemies and/or bosses are immune to the ability, and the Items that are needed for the customization of this ability.

Basically, whichever characters have these abilities on their weapons, will reap the rewards of them.

<B>Sensor</B>-Allows you to view enemy data during battle, such as their weaknesses or immunities. Some monsters and bosses are immune to this ability. Customize with Ability Sphere x2.

<B>Initiative</B>-Your chances of a preemptive strike will increase. When you enter a battle, and it begins with preemptive strike, your party will have more opportunites to attack. Beginning a battle with a preemptive strike is the same as casting Hastega on your party. Customize with Chocobo Feather x4.

<B>Counterattack</B>-Everytime a enemy physically attacks you, your character will strike back with their normal weapon attack. Customize with one Friend Sphere.

Here are two ways to acquire Wings to Discovery:

Go to the Calm Lands and fight a Malboro. Bribe him with at least 540,000 gil, and you should receive at least Wings to Discovery x4.

Go to the Monster Arena. Fight Shinryu, under Original Creations. If you win the fight, you will get Wings to Discovery x2, most of the time.
