Rarest Items?Follow

What are the rarest items in game? Not really items that are still newish, but things that either are no longer camped for or crafted, or just had awful quest line that made it not worth the effort. I thought of this after looking at the Beastmen headgear they released many years ago.

I have one of these and one of these

ETA: Not as rare as the Laurel Wreath, but still, you can't get them unless you were at the fan fests.

Moon Carrot.

The 'damage varies by moon phase' line of clubs (rabbit stick, moonlight wand, Artemis' wand, Selene's wand, moonwatch wand). Relevant to moon carrots.

Also, Stars Cap and Laurel Crown (edit: oops, that one is covered).

Certainly not the rarest, since there are one or two out there, but definately among the rarest things out there.

Voidwatch Uptala's "Murasamemaru". I've never met anyone who has one, ever. But they're supposed to have dropped atleast once at one point.

Same for Voidwatch Qilin's "Coruscanti". Only one or two people in the entire world of all servers seem to have one. I'm personally already 0/300+ on it, but everyone else who ever done Qilin is probably a good 0/1xx on it as well.

After that, any of the special Voidwatch Armors. Only just the other day got a Mextli's Harness, never seen any of the others. There's a reason the inferior crafted version sells for a few mil, and the still inferior crafted +1 version for 8-9 mil. If it was easy to just go out there and get this one, people would do that.

Semi rare, the Ogier's, Athos's, etc.

While not an item, I'm sure the 110 skill crafters are a rarity of its own.

BST Mythic axe would have to be a possibility, right? As of the last census, there were ZERO created. I know that I heard one person finished the axe around the same time, and perhaps there's some more Mythic interest now (and new Salvage zones may increase it more), but we're talking low single digits ever made.

I've never heard of people getting the super-rare Legion boss weapon drops yet either (Girru from Paramount Gallu, Ikarigiri from Paramount Botulus), but perhaps I'm just not up on that. And maybe they'll show up more in the future with Legion adjustments and more players doing the event. But still... drop rate isn't much better than the shimmering VW weapons like Coruscanti, and Legion wave 3 bosses are a hell of a lot harder to spam than a VW mob that people can do dozens of times in a row shooting for drops.

Edit: OK, I do see 4 Ikarigiris on FFXIAH.com. But 0 Girru there.

None of these are as rare as previously mentioned items. A search of FFXIAH will reveal that, but then again a casual stroll through my own server's Port Jeuno did this weekend.

Also 0/300 is starting to approach the average of most VW rare drops.

Rarest is probably Laurel Crown. Fortunately I had the chance to Ballista a few times against one of the winners, Barlog, when I was still on Siren.

Saw quite some JP players with that already. Even one with a screenshot wearing it on FFXIAH.

And the only reason Laurel Crown is rare is because no one can get one anymore since there wont ever be anymore PVP tournaments.

Still, that's 20. That's probably still more than the amount of people that have a Phos Belt +1. It needs someone with guts to make a 6 mil Speed Belt into a Sonic Belt (without HQ'ing it), and then craft that into not just a Phos Belt, but a Phos Belt +1.

Me my wife and 2 mules have Rain Hats all in a 48 hour period iirc

83 Murasamemarus

643 Coruscantis

1093 Mextli Harnesses

And that's just among people who show their gear on FFXIAH, primarily NA players for that matter.

You couldn't be more wrong. There are probably 'rare' VW drops that outnumber stuff like Defending Ring or Ridill, content six+ years older.

There are numerous Girru & Ikarigiri on Asura, we've got Mul down to farm status and kill 3-4 bosses on most runs. Saw two Girru drop from the same boss once. I've personally only seen one Ikarigiri, so that one might still be semi-rare.

I think the Hexed -1 stuff has to be up there in terms of rarity. I've managed to get two: Iaso Mitra & Spurrina Gages, and they're the only one of each that I've seen although I know there's at least one more of each floating out there somewhere on Asura.

Valefor is a bit of a backwater server and the NA linkshells really do not have their acts together. The best we've been able to do so far is clear one or the other of Botulus and Gallu but hopefully we'll continue to improve and get to the point where we can do multiple boss waves. I've personally never seen either glowy weapon on anybody.
