Serenity

Serenity is a type of material found in Kingdom Hearts II that is used in Item Synthesis. Serenity materials are special as they are one of three materials called "modifiers"; its use is not required in any synthesis recipe, but adding one to the recipe offers benefits. Serenity materials are arguably the most useful and most powerful of the three modifying materials because they create entirely new, upgraded items when added to a recipe. For example, a Drive Recovery can be upgraded to a High Drive Recovery with the addition of a Serenity Shard, or an armor such as Acrisius is upgraded to the more powerful Acrisius+ with a Serenity Stone.

In order to use Serenity materials, you must upgrade the synthesis Moogle to Level 3, Junior Moogle. The Serenity items are assigned a gold color to distinguish them from other materials.

The Serenity materials in the Japanese Kingdom Hearts II are known as "Fulfilling" materials.

Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix + Changes
