Compound List (Part 1)

Explore the first 46 compounds in Bravely Default, detailing item combinations for healing, status cures, buffs, and more. Master the Salve-Maker abilities.

This guide covers the first 46 compounds available in Bravely Default, detailing the item combinations required to create them and their effects. These compounds are primarily created using the Salve-Maker's Compound ability.

Compounds 1 to 14

The first dozen or so compounds contain a few rough gems and some duds. Combining two Potions, for example, is beneficial as you’ll recover twice the HP of a normal Potion, but in one action. Meanwhile combining two ailment cures, like an Antidote with itself, does nothing special; neither does combining the Elixir or Megalixir with anything, sadly.

Compounds 15 to 32

A lot of amazing compounds right here. Number 16 Resurrect is essential; it brings a fallen ally back and–if used by a Salve-maker or someone with Healing Lore–effectively restores all of their HP. Font of Life is great when you don’t have the Time Mage’s Reraise. Resist Poison and the like are an excellent alternative to Poison Immunity, Inoculation and Fairy Ward, especially if you’re taken by a surprise ailment. Quarter Elixir and Number 30 Half Elixir make cheap alternatives to the Elixir. Don’t overlook the Dry Ether either!

Compounds 33 to 46

These are all compounds that raise Physical Attack or Magic Attack. Note that a lot of compounds have similar effects, but there are some with better effects. In particular, Number 39 Dragon Vim is good if you want to up Physical Attack by 50%, while you want Number 46 Dragon Aura for optimum Magic Attack. When Dragon Fangs are rare, the 30% boosts aren’t half bad.
