Hey there! So, you're looking to beef up your spellcasters in Bravely Default, right? Rods are gonna be your best friend for that. They're pretty much the only weapons that give you that sweet, sweet Magic Attack boost, which is crucial for making your offensive spells really hit hard. You *can* use them for physical attacks, but honestly, if you're a spell-slinger, you'll want to avoid that. Rods usually have pretty low Strength, and physical-focused jobs won't get much out of them either.
One thing to note is that all Rods come with an Aim stat of 90, so accuracy isn't usually an issue.
