Rarity

Not to be confused with an item's Quality.

Rarity is a property of cosmetic items. It is represented in-game by the item's color theme. Rarity is a purely cosmetic property, and has no effect on gameplay.

General Information

• Items have both a Rarity and a Quality value.
• In general, rarer items tend to drop less often, and have more customizations.
• Rarity does not determine whether or not an item is tradeable or marketable, Quality does.

Crimson Witness
