The Malboro Orb is an item that can be made in the Transmutation menu. Players will need to have leveled up to 12 in order to make it. The following items are needed to craft the Malboro Orb.

  • 2x Ruby
  • 2x Emerald
  • 2x Sapphire
  • 1x Great Malboro Tendril

Rubies, Emeralds, and Sapphires can be found by sniffing them out using the Chocobos. Rubies and Emeralds can be found in every region, while Sapphires are in Gongaga, Cosmo Canyon, Nibel, Meridian Ocean, and Northwood Region.

The hardest item to get is the Great Malboro Tendril, as it can only be obtained after fighting the Great Malboro. The Great Malboro is an optional boss found in the Gongaga Region. It can only be unlocked after completing four of the six Expedition Intels from the Gongaga Region. Once players have unlocked the Great Malboro, it can be located under the Classified Intel: The Sultan of Stench in the Southwest part of Gongaga.

When equipped, the Malboro Orb will extend the duration of detrimental status effects applied to foes. It also reduces the duration of detrimental status effects inflicted on the wearer.
