Item Qualities

Item Qualities are modifiers that can change an item. Some qualities don't show up in the names of items and are simply there to categorize.

Bundle

This quality is assigned to items that can be opened to yield more items. It has no effect on the item itself and cannot be on anything besides Keys and Chests.

Common

If an item doesn't have any other qualities then it is considered a common item. It has no effect on the item itself.

Community

These items are unique and are awarded to those who create the item. It adds the prefix Community to the item and it has the Sparkle Effect, unless it is a Mine. The creator's name is also put in the description. Normally only one of these exist for each Hat, Body Attachment, and Mine.

Legendary

This quality is only on items from events, such as the Voodoo Juju Hat, or on new types of items, such as Tools, for a limited time. It adds the prefix Legendary, but the Rare quality can override it.

Magic

This subquality can be paired up with other qualities and adds a prefix and/or suffix to an item. These items have Attributes that can be very helpful. This subquality overrides the Painted subquality's prefix, but the item will still be painted. It can be on Hats, Body Attachments, Auras, and Gems and Jewels.

See Attributes for information on prefixes and suffixes and what they do.
