During the [[Throne of Destiny (expansion)|Throne of Destiny]] expansion in 2005, rare items, or '''Rares''', were introduced to the loot generator. There are six tiers that increase in rarity ranging from the most common [[Rares#Tier 1|Tier 1]] rares, which consist of consumable buff gems, to the least common [[Rares#Tier 6|Tier 6]] rares which consist of weapons for each class. Consumable type items in tier 5 are eternal/infinite and have an unlimited number of uses.

Each time a player kills a rare eligible creature, there is a small chance that a rare will drop. To be rare eligible, the creature must drop a corpse/treasure pile, be a greater level than the player, or level 100+. Estimated drop rate of a rare item is one in 2,500 rare eligible creature kills.
For every 1 weapon ([[Rares#Tier 6 Rares|Tier 6]]) that drops the following should drop [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showpost.php?p=536837&postcount=3]:
