''...This is a very rare and interesting version of the item.''
 
 
 
Rare items were introduced in an update, Thursday, 29 March 2012.
 
 
 
Players may occasionally succeed in creating rare, [[supreme item|supreme]] or even [[fantastic item|fantastic]] items. These tools are faster, weapons do more damage, and armour protects a bit better. This may also happen as you improve or polish items and rare items may turn into even rarer items. Constructing new items using rare materials may turn the unfinished item into a rare item. Rare guard towers spawn more guards, for instance. More functionality will be added over time.
 
 
 
Generally you should hear a "drum-roll" when a chance of creating a rare comes up.  (Fishing is one exception to this; there may be others)
 
 
 
When rares were introduced, we were told "You get approximately 1 chance of 50% each hour to create a rare item."  What this actually means to game play is unknown.  The odds of creating a rare seem to be much higher than improving an item and making it rare.

*A rare [[Small anvil]] increases ql of the product
 
 
 
==Notes==
 
*Rare items, graphically, have a pulsating effect added.
 
*Sometimes rare items create their own categories in inventory lists. For example, if you have 5 longswords in a pile, and 2 are rare, you would see longsword (3x) and rare long sword (2x). Other times, items like sprouts for example, will all appear under the regular sprouts category. This has been said to be true for logs as well.
 
*Rare items can be combined into larger weights, for items that can normally combined (make sure the active item is at the top of the list), but this seems to usually cause the rare status to disappear.
 
*Throwing rare materials into a [[bulk storage bin]] will cause the items to lose their rare status.
 
*Rare ore has been seen to make rare lumps.
 
*All types of item can become 'rare', but not all of them have advantages coded for them.
 
*Using rare small iron nails does not create a rare wooden fence.
