Quartz Charm or Jinx Belt?

Quartz Charm for Your Main Attacker

Super Mario RPG Remake - Quartz Charm from Culex

Out of the two, Quartz Charm is the best accessory for your main attacker as it increases the character's already high Attack and Magic Attack stats by 50%, instead of a flat amount that could possibly be even lower than a quarter of your attacker's damage stat.

The main downside for this accessory is that its Attack and Defense buffs—being active stat boosts—will disappear when the user faints for the remainder of the battle, and can be purged by attacks like Shredder, leaving the Mortal Blow immunity the only thing it does. You would need to use special moves or items that grant these boosts to have them up again.

Another downside is that the boosts provided by Quartz Charm do not stack with Geno Boost, which provides the same effects. It also does not stack with items which provide attack and defense boosts, like Bracer, Energizer, and Yoshi-Ade. If you're the kind of player who sets up Geno Boost on every character at the start of battle, then it's worth considering prioritizing Jinx Belt as its raw stat increases will avoid this overlap.

Jinx Belt for a Backup Attacker

Super Mario RPG - Jinx Belt from Jinx

The Jinx Belt is generally better for a backup attacker who will not be your primary source of damage, but still needs to focus on physical attacks. It provides a helpful Speed boost of 12, which can help slower characters like Bowser keep up.

Booster's Charm is an accessory which halves damage from elemental attacks, as well as boosting all stats except for Speed, which it decreases. Although it is outclassed once the Top Tier Accessories become available, it's one of the premier options in the early to mid-game.

How to Get Flower Ring
Buy from Frog Sage's Student at Seaside Town for 50 Frog Coins.

The Flower Ring is an accessory that reduces a user's FP consumption by half, allowing the use of more special moves. Mario and Mallow are the best candidates for this accessory since their special moves use a lot of FP. Unfortunately, the Flower Ring is just a bit too pricey and generally, it's better to prioritize accessories which provide more damage output rather than saving FP.

This accessory can be obtained by buying it from Frog Sage's Student at Seaside Town.

Teamwork Band

The Teamwork Band is a post-game accessory that makes it easier for you to charge up Triple Moves. You can use this accessory when battling bosses in rematches during post-game.

Unless there's a Triple Move you really want to use, it's not the best option for this stage of the game, making the Teamwork Band rather situational.
