This post will contain what materials you'll need to synthesis the following items of KH2. You synthesize items near a Moogle Stand (which appears in every world) or the Item Workshop in Hallow Bastion. Lists don't appear this time, and instead some items need to have a Recipe in order to be synthesized. Items that are italicized need to have the Recipe. The rest become unlocked by Free Development, which is listed here:
Get 5 types of Materials - Unlock Free Development List 1
Get 20 types of Materials - Unlock Free Development List 2
Get your Moogle Level to Level 8 - Unlock Free Development List 3
Moogle Levels
Now, I will explain the Moogle Levels. When you synthesize an item, you'll get Moogle EXP, which will then be added up to your Moogle Total. Leveling up is essential and needed. The following list contains what happens everytime your Moogle levels up:
LVL 1 --> Starting Point; Limited item selection, so start synthesizing!
LVL 2 --> You can now use Bright or Energy Materials in Creations, Free Development or Recipes. EXP is now gained from items that use Bright Materials. Also, Energy Materials now cut synthesis item costs in half.
LVL 3 --> You can now use Serenity Materials in Creations. Use these to create an amped-up/different version of the original item.
LVL 4 --> You can now use both Bright Materials and Energy Materials in Free Development or Recipes at once. You can also use two of the Bright, Energy, or Serenity Materials in Creations for any creation.
LVL 5 --> Rank C items in Creations get prices cut in half.
LVL 6 --> Rank B items in Creations get prices cut in half.
LVL 7 -->Rank A items in Creations get prices cut in half.
LVL 8 --> Mythril Gems are now available in Free Development.
LVL 9 --> Rank S items in Creations get prices cut in half.

You can find most of these materials by defeating enemies and equipping treasure hunting abilites like Lucky Lucky. The Mythril materials are only found in Chests, so look anywhere for a Chest. Anyways, hope this and the KH1 Synthesis Guide helps you out on your journey. Synthesis is essential for more powerful items, accessories, and weapons. Tell then, happy synthesizing!
