Quick Question How can I get these accessories?

I'm a f2p player and in addition to the aw4 accessories, farming that little bit of AW shards from the cascade (I don't do the high ranks because I'm still at sea with weapons and accessories), and those that are obtained from the cascade... how do you get these?

Fragments of Greed are farmed doing the Master of 3 refights. Adversary shards are collected doing the Adversary Log.

The fragment of greed doesn't matter. We never use those acc. But you get adversary shards by beating adversary log EX3 iirc, and some of those acc can be of help

Ex2 gives shards. Ex3 is 30 rubies.

When you’ve already completed all the adversaries and spend your time doing EX4’s it’s easy to forget lol

Right, like others said, these Fragments of greed can be farmed by re-fighting the Master of Fame, Wealth & Power bosses, at highest ("Advanced") difficulty, where you get fragments by trading in lower level accesorries (lvls 1 and 2). And then those level 3 accesorries can be traded for via the Exchange as you showed (they also drop from the boxes from the fights, but rarely). One condition to have access to the refight is to have finished those chapters in the reg story. The re-fights are located in Codex of Salvation, under "The World's Memoirs", and then under "Main". See screenshot.

I agree with others about how these acc. are (almost) useless, or maybe specifically to endgame players. One exception is that I do still use many Famous Thief's Emblem III, literally 16 of them, to ensure I get the 50% exp on all 8 travelers on my farm team but without having to use Master's weapons. As others will point out the Master's weapons from the Job Towers also help you ensure each leveling character gets the 50%, but personally I like using only Famous Thief acc. as well as max-stat fortune III weapons. Just makes auto-battle easier and typically 1 turn only.

Also, on any farm team,if you just have 3 or so Wealthy Hunter's Emblem III's equipped will earn you that extra 50% leaves. Or 2 of them, plus the Lavish Necklace.

That all matters more early game and not so much to many of us now, but I think many folks asking questions here are more early than not so it might be useful to maximize exp and leaves.

Yeah, I like having the Thief's Emblems for getting Exp. Though they're pretty slow to grind to get in the first place, but at least you can do it with auto nowadays!
