Unique Items
Introduction
A Unique Item is an extremely rare item of which there is only a single one in the game at any time.
Unique Items are released into the game via two methods, with an equal (50%) chance for either method: the Black Market, or the Unique Pool. At the beginning of a reset, none of the items are present. When they are activated (which happens at random times dictated by the server), they are either sent to the Unique Pool (where they wait to be claimed via Treasure Chests or other methods mentioned below), or they go straight to the Black Market to be sold to the highest bidder.
Unique Items are accompanied by bonuses, abilities, uses, and in some cases, upkeeps. Some Uniques grant the mage an Enchantment-like blessing (which show up when viewing the current Enchantments affecting ones Kingdom). Some grant a one-time blessing, such as a Hero or Geld. Some grant the mage an ability for use during battles, such as randomly-dealt damage or Accuracy/AP bonuses. Some must be charged before using once more. Some demand upkeep which can grow increasingly difficult to satisfy. Unique Items vary greatly, and the advantage they provide cannot be understated.
Each Unique Item can be used, sold, stolen, or lost; they cannot be pillaged. When no one owns the item, it has a chance to get back into the game through Treasure Chests or the Black Market, as mentioned above. Usable Unique Items which target enemy mages (such as a Holy Hand Grenade) must go through barriers just like non-Unique Items, and can be blocked.
Notes:
- Holy Grail - There are five unique holy grails, one for each color. This means that there can be FIVE items with this item name 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 acquire a Unique Item:
- Buy the unique on the Black Market once it is activated by the server
- Find the unique in a Treasure Chest, which has a 2% chance to award a Unique upon use
- As mentioned above, the Unique Item granted by a Treasure Chest is taken from the Unique Pool. If there are no Unique Items currently in the Unique Pool (due to all Uniques being possessed OR being VERY early in the reset), no Unique will be awarded on a successful roll
- The only exception to this is on the Beta and Lightning Servers, where a Treasure Chest, on a successful roll, will take a Unique at random whether it is currently possessed or not (it CAN steal Uniques from other mages)
- As mentioned above, the Unique Item granted by a Treasure Chest is taken from the Unique Pool. If there are no Unique Items currently in the Unique Pool (due to all Uniques being possessed OR being VERY early in the reset), no Unique will be awarded on a successful roll
- Steal them with Letters of the Thieves Guild. The Letters must pass through Barriers before having a chance to steal a Unique
- The chance to steal a Unique from target mage is n%, where n=the number of Uniques owned by target mage
- The only exception to this is on the Arch Server, where the chance to steal a Unique is n-squared, where n=the number of Uniques owned by target mage (i.e. mage has 6 uniques. there is a 36% chance to steal one)
- The chance to steal a Unique from target mage is n%, where n=the number of Uniques owned by target mage
- Become a Most-Favoured Follower of Science. This will only grant items from the Unique Pool. It can award a Holy Grail, so it is generally advised to collect all five before attempting to become Most-Favoured to prevent being given a Grail in place of another Unique
Miscellaneous Information:
- Holy Grails are by far the most common Unique Item in Terra. Although the primary method of obtaining a Grail is a Blood Stained Map, Grails can also be obtained by any other method outlined above (like any other unique). It is generally considered a great disappointment if 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 common, cheap and short-lasting when compared to other Uniques
- Efreeti Bottles can be retrieved by Phantasm mages by using the spell Wish. As there can only be one Bottle in existence, they are often lost if kept for too long without using it
- Guilds built on your land produce only Lesser items, not Uniques
There are also unfortunately some ways to lose a Unique:
- On the Beta and Lightning Servers, whenever a mage successfully uses a Treasure Chest, and all uniques are held by players, one will be taken at random from an enemy mage
- Whenever a mage uses Letters of the Thieves Guild on an enemy mage and it passes barriers, there is a chance of stealing a unique
- The chance to steal a Unique via a Letter is found above

The following are the 'cards' available to draw:
|

The Holy Grails that do not correspond to a mage's color will offer no bonus, but the upkeep will still be taken.
