Unique Item Shortlist down below

Introduction

A Unique Item means it is a rare item of which there is max one in the game at any time.

They are released through Treasure Map and Treasure Chest (shortly into a game round, none of them are present) and once in the game, can be sold, stolen, lost, used - but they cannot be pillaged. When no-one owns the item, it has a chance to get back in the game through Treasure Map, Treasure Chest and Black Market again.

• Exceptions:
  • Holy Grail (there are five that are constantly swapping between owners)
  • a Unique that is on the Black Market is not in the game, if you get a unique while that one is also for sale... you'll lose it soon as the selling one gets into the game. This makes Efreeti Bottle and Holy Grails stay in your possesion for a brief time only.
  • Minor Indulgence (unlimited) actually is generated by guilds and not a real unique at all.
  • Rumours of heroes duplicating Uniques are from the Archmage buggy past.

There are various ways to get Unique Items:

• buy on Black Market
• get them from Treasure Map or Treasure Chest (1-2% chance each time)
• steal them with Letters of the Thieves Guild
• miscellaneous
  • Minor Indulgences are actually generated by guilds
  • Holy Grails you get from Blood Stained Maps
  • Efreeti Bottles, Phantasm mages can get from Wish.
• No, guilds built on your land do not produce them, they only make Lesser items.

Efreeti Bottle	Gives either 2 heroes, 2 million mana, 200 million geld or 30 items#Lesser Items. Use this (or sell it) fast because there can only be one in the game at the same time, and everytime some mage casts Wish it may shift ownership.
Egg of Time	Egg of Time gives 1-100 turns (or is it: 25 to 50 turns??). Don't use when you allready have max turns or you won't get them.
Excalibur	Increases units' attack power by 25%.
Hand of Negation	Dispels target's enchantments regardless of barriers. Asume this item is a charged item meaning you can't use it again for 200 turns after using it. It CAN be blocked... a week ago I lost the Hand of Negation when it fizzled after use on a blue mage with Black Death. This is what is probably the fact. The Hand of Negation can be blocked ONLY by SPELL LEVEL DIFFERENCE (this mage had 0 barriers!!). chance to be blocked: (targets SL - your SL) / 10 %
Hell Fire	Gives you resistance to fire, increases FIRE Attack power, but adds weakness to cold. OR Doubles the Primary Attack of units which deal fire damage with any attack; Hidden upkeep: reduces mana generation by 5%.
