Which Things Are Rare?

I think it would be a great resource for players, new and old alike, if we could have a running list of rare items and how to get them. I often wonder if I've unknowingly donated something of real value.

As the game develops, there will be new things to add. Let's list them here (specific music blocks, keys,  cubimals,  etc.)

  • There isn't a how to get a rare item guide, because the music blocks, cubimals, etc. are random. The music blocks and the gems are bonuses, so it's easier to get them with higher skills, the keys spawn at known locations at random time. The "rare" music blocks are more valuable (in currants), so donating them is in fact a great donation.

  • Thread-killer. :P

    I didn't mean the kind of guide you described. I understand the random nature of item drops. I do think it would be helpful to have a listing of rare items with a brief mention of how to get them.

  • widdershins: there isn't a "way to get them". 

    Cubimals can be bought at a toy vendor.  Everything else can be bought on auction. 

    Gems are gotten from mining.  I've gotten all 4 gems from all four types of rock.  There isn't a particular rock that will give you amber, or a particular rock that will give you diamonds. 

    Other than that, the "way to get them" is to engage in various activities.  I've gotten the same prize from petting piggies, watering trees, hoeing in the garden, spinning the game show wheel, etc. Cubimals, music blocks, food and drinks, all can be received as bonuses from all those activities.

    Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to list?

  • There is a way to "get them". I think what widdershins means is something like this:

    Musicblock BB-5: obtained from random bonuses while tending/gardening/other various activities.
    Senor Funpickle: obtained by being a beta tester.
    GNG Musicblock: obtained through Senor Funpickle.
    Walloping diamond: obtained by mining.
    Bureaucroc: obtained from cubimal box. (Someone may go, "Oh hey, didn't know the bureaucroc was less common than a piggy." when they see the list.)

    Simply a list of the less common things out there that people may not realize are not that common, and the ways you may come across them in the world.

  • Thank you Miss Giggles. I think that would be useful, no?

  • I would add to Walloping Diamond: found in ancestral lands traps

  • The Cubimal distribution thread may be useful

  • I think this is a great idea. No harm in more information!

  • You can also get a walloping diamond if you do the smuggling random event. Seems to pop up more often while in East Spice than anywhere else... all three times I have done it, it was triggered there.

  • Ayn Rand doll. How can I get it?!

  • You can't. At least not right now. Doesn't mean it won't come back eventually.

    I think it was a Rube offer or something- I think that's what I remember reading in the forum somewhere. But it was gone before I joined at the end of April.

    I've wanted one ever since I saw it. :(
