The Meteorite bracer doubles the wearer's {{Agility}} and can be equipped by all vocations. As half a character's {{Agility}} is factored in to the calculation for their {{Defence}} stat, the accessory indirectly increases durability as well in all versions of {{III}}. It can be found by searching the enclosure of [[Isis]]'s palace.

The meteorite bracer is a prize in the [[Endor]] [[casino]] and requires 10,000 [[token]]s (only 4,000 in the original {{NES}} version) to nab. Once again, it can be equipped by all characters. It doubles {{Agility}} as before, but no longer increases {{Defence}} in the {{NES}} version, despite {{Agility}} having the same specifications in that version as in {{III}}.
