Unique Item Shortlist down below

Introduction

A Unique Item is an extremely rare item of which there is only a single one in the game at any time.

They are released through Treasure Map and Treasure Chest (at the beginning of a reset, none of them are present) and once in the game, each one can be sold, stolen, lost, or used (they cannot be pillaged). When no one owns the item, it has a chance to get back into the game through Treasure Map, Treasure Chest or the Black Market. Useable Unique items (such as a Holy Hand Grenade) go through barriers just like non-unique items, and can be blocked.

Possessing some Unique Items is very comparable to having an enchantment running. Other Unique Items need to be used in battle. Others are operated using Use item. Others charge and can only be used once every hundred or so turns.

Notes:

• Holy Grail - There are five unique holy grails, one for each color. This means that there can be FIVE items with this title in existence at any one time (one of each color).
• A Unique that is being sold on the Black Market is technically not in the game. If you happen to get that unique (via a Treasure Chest) while the same one is being sold, you will lose it as soon as the sale ends and the item officially enters the game. This makes the Efreeti Bottle and the Holy Grails stay in your possession for a brief time only, sometimes less than an instant.

Acquiring Unique Items

There are various ways to get Unique Items:

• Buy the unique on the Black Market
• Get the unique from a Treasure Map or Treasure Chest (around 1% chance each time)
  • At the beginning of a reset, no one has any uniques. Treasure Maps and/or Chests hand them out randomly. When you are awarded one, nobody loses it.
  • After a bit of time passes into a reset, all or most of the uniques are in the possession of mages. When a Treasure Map gives a mage a unique, another mage loses it.

• Steal them with Letters of the Thieves Guild
• Miscellaneous:
  • Holy Grails are retrieved from Blood Stained Maps, but can also be obtained just like any other unique. It is generally considered a disappointment is a mage is awarded a Holy Grail via a Treasure Chest or any method other than a Blood Stained Map, since the Holy Grails are fairly common and cheap when compared to other uniques.
  • Efreeti Bottles can be retrieved by Phantasm mages by using the spell Wish.
• Guilds built on your land produce only Lesser items, not uniques.

There are unfortunately also some ways to lose a Unique:

• Whenever a mage successfully uses Treasure Map or Treasure Chest, and all uniques are held by players, another mage in Terra will lose his unique to the user, if the first mage is within a certain Net Power range of the mage holding the unique. If not, you get a rather crushing message detailing that there are no uniques currently available to you.
• Whenever a mage uses Letters of the Thieves Guild on another mage, there is a chance of stealing a unique.
  • If a mage has N number of uniques, then the approximate chance of stealing a unique from that mage is N%. For example, if a mage has 5 unique items, then there is a 5% chance to steal a unique from that mage by using Letters of the Thieves Guild.
  • On the Arch Server, the chance to steal a unique from a target is the number of uniques held squared. For example, if a mage has 6 uniques, then the chance of stealing a unique from that target is 36% (6*6=36). This chance is capped at 99% (10 or more uniques held by the target).

Note by Alzorath:
Many of these unique item descriptions are incorrect, misrepresented, or "mixxed up". I don't know the exact numbers on all of the functions though (because I'm not a uniques guru), but I would seriously take ALL information on this page with a grain of salt when considering a unique. I only came here to fix some links, but felt I should add that. I edited a few of them...but only skipped around kind of near the places I fixed links.
