Item Rarity

Rarity is a measure of the quality of an item, ranging from Crude to Legendary. Weapons, clothes, jewelry, tattoos, and sailing items - even potions are classified by rarity.

Crude
These items range from old firearms and rusty cutlasses to worn out boots and patchwork shirts. They can be useful for a pirate who is just starting to earn his sea legs, but useless for an experienced swashbuckler. These are also the only items useable by basic members. They are recognized by the brown background of their description.

Common
Common items are ordinary, run-of-the mill equipment. They aren't hard to obtain, but some of them are very well crafted, and can be of great use for an intermediate pirate working up his reputation. They are recognized by the yellow background of their description.

Rare
Rare items are powerful artifacts that usually can only be found in loot drops. Even the most notorious pirates can make good use of these. They can be recognized by the green background of their description.

Famed
Any buccaneer who knows his bow from his aft, covets these like a child covets sweet candy. Formerly known as Lost Relics, Famed Weapons are the most well-crafted, powerful and otherwise excellent items a pirate can obtain. They are recognized by the blue background of their description.

Legendary
Currently the only known Legendary weapon is the Lost Sword of El Patron. This golden sword is cursed by the soul of El Patron, a spanish conquistador who once sailed the caribbean. Legendary weapons are incredibly hard to obtain, but they are also the greatest reward a pirate can get for his hard work. They can be recognized by the blood red background of their description.
