Rarity Items Tiers - Path of Exile

1. Rarity Colors & Tier

Items, monsters, strongboxes, and later even maps, can all have different rarities. Something’s rarity determines what properties it has. Generally, something that is ‘magic’ is stronger than something that is ‘normal’, and something that is ‘rare’ is stronger than something that is ‘magic’. This is achieved through random modifiers, or ‘mods’.

Normal, Magic, Rare and Unique rarities are indicated by the color of the name. The item colors are: white = normal blue = magic yellow = rare orange = unique

Rarity determines how many mods something can have. Magic rarity typically imbues something with either one or two mods, while most rares can get up to six.

Each rarity tier has certain properties.

	Normal: The item in its most basic form, with no special properties Items that enchant quality( Armourer’s Scrap, Blacksmith’s Whetstone) work the most efficientyl on Normal items.
	Magic: Can have up to two random mods: a prefix and a suffix The prefix and suffix are visible in the name(“Arcing”, “of Accuracy”)
	Rare: Can have up to six random mods: three prefixes and three suffixes Has a randomly generated name
	Unique: Mods are NOT randomised Mod values can be static, or have wider than normal ranges Has a special name and flavour text Can have mods that cannot be obtained elsewhere Can break many ordinary item rules

2. PoE Rarity Uniques

If you’re lucky, you may also find something that is of ‘unique’ rarity. Unique items always have the same mods, but those mods can be very different to the ones you find on magics and rares. For example, this unique staff changes how your projectiles work:

Many unique items come with a downside, or provide specialised or conditional power without staple mods, such as elemental resistances or life. As a result, using many unique items doesn’t necessarily always benefit you! Unique items also have their own special art, names and flavour text.

Some unique items provide utility at the cost of raw stats, or only fully work when certain conditions are met.

When people talk about ‘uniques’, they are usually referring to unique items, but there are also unique strongboxes, maps, and monsters throughout Path of Exile. Major content updates usually includes a number of new uniques.
