Basic Information and Tips

The following is a list of necessary information you'll need to know about rare items and how they're spawned:

Only one rare item is spawned in a random location per world. Once that rare item is picked up, it will spawn in another one of its locations. This means that in each world, there is always one rare item spawned in a random location.

There are 100 locations the rare items can spawn in (listed below).

Rare items do not show up as red dots on the minimap.

show up as red dots on the minimap. Rare items can also spawn in the Wilderness.

The best way of rare hunting is by sticking to a single location and hoping worlds until you find the rare item. It is suggested to go to a location that has multiple rare item spawns (listed below) to increase your chances of finding one.
