Unique Items
There is at max one of each Unique Item at any time in the game, and your guilds do not produce them. 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
- 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
- Minor Indulgence is generated by guilds
- Holy Grails you get from Blood Stained Maps
- Efreeti Bottles, Phantasm mages can get from Wish.
