Learn how to find Pirate Jetsam in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth! Discover the Corsair's Compass and its role in locating these valuable crafting materials in Chapter 12.

Alright, so you're looking to snag some Pirate Jetsam in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, huh? This is a pretty useful crafting material you'll find in purple crates out in the Meridian Ocean. You can actually start accessing this area right at the beginning of Chapter 12.

The absolute easiest way to find these crates is by using the Corsair's Compass. You get this handy item by completing the 'The Pirate King's Treasure' side quest. To kick that off, just head to the Costa del Sol Docks at the start of Chapter 12 and interact with the chest you find there.

Now, that side quest involves tracking down four specific spots in the ocean and taking down some mini-bosses: Hueyacoatl, Brineborn Demon, Ogre Raider, and Sea Dragon. It can be a bit of a challenge, so if you get stuck, we've got a full walkthrough for 'The Pirate King's Treasure' that'll make things a breeze.

Once you've got your hands on some Pirate Jetsam, you're probably wondering what to do with it. Well, it's great for crafting some new gear and even upgrading existing equipment. You'll need the right recipes for that, which you can get by defeating Gilgamesh and completing the 'Six-Person Bout: Harmony of Discord' in the Gold Saucer. Here's a look at some of the cool stuff you can craft:
