Final Fantasy XVI contains 16 Patron Items. Obtaining all Patron Items unlocks the Careful Whisper trophy. They are all obtained from the Patron’s Whisper shop in The Hideaway in exchange for Renown. You get Renown by completing Main Quests, Side Quests, and Hunt Board Quests. In order to get all Renown Items you will need close to 100% game completion and finish almost all quests in the game. There is slightly more Renown than you need for all items, you can get everything with 2-3 quests remaining.
Only the quests after the Point of No Return give Renown, which happens in Main Quest 25: The Dame. After the story you can create a “clear save” and reload this save to still free-roam and complete all relevant side content. Hence nothing is missable.
To receive the items it only matters how much Renown you have in total. Your Renown is not deducted when “buying” the items, you keep all your Renown when redeeming items. The Patron Items are effectively rewards for how much side content you have finished.
Patron Items Shop Location
All Patron Items are received from “The Patron’s Whisper” shop in The Hideaway. Talk to Desiree and you will see how much total Renown you got and which rewards you can redeem.
How to Get Renown
You start earning Renown starting from Main Quest #26: The Crystals’ Curse for any Main Quests, Side Quests, and Hunt Board Quests you complete. You will have to complete everything except 2 quests to get enough Renown for all Patron Items (there is more total Renown than you need). Refer to the guides below:
