[[Rarity]] is usually considered as a measure of how difficult to obtain or how valuable an item is. The color of the item name text gauges the rarity of an item, with White being the most common and Cyan being the most rare. Any item with the rarity of White or Gray will be destroyed upon contact with [[lava]] (with the exceptions of [[Obsidian]], [[Clay Pot]]s, [[Fireblossom]], and [[Fireblossom Seeds]]).

The '''Shadow Key''' opens [[Shadow Chest]]s found in the [[Underworld]]. It is not consumed upon use, and one Shadow Key can be used limitlessly to open all Shadow Chests. It can be found in [[Gold Chest]]s in the [[Dungeon]] (which each require one [[Golden Key]] to open). Only one is ever necessary and they do not stack, unlike Golden Keys, which are consumed upon use.

== Notes ==
It should be noted that the rarity of many items can change a lot depending on their [[modifier]]s. Items with positive modifiers will have a higher rarity than the same items without modifiers, and the same goes the other way around.

| -
 
|style="color:gray;"| '''Gray'''
 
| This tier consists entirely of [[reforge|degraded]] low-tier weapons, such as the "Shameful [[Iron Broadsword]]". These items are gained randomly when [[Goblin Tinkerer]] fails at reforging, or as a negative [[Modifier]] for a gained item. This is the lowest possible tier, but doesn't really count as one, since no items have gray as base rarity.

| White
 
| All basic items fall under this category. These are mostly building materials. Items that are white are not necessarily worthless, but could be a good source of income early on. Items from this tier will be destroyed in [[lava]], unlike the higher tiers, with a few exceptions.
 
|-

|style="color:blue;"| '''Blue'''
 
| Weapons and armor made of early game ores are tier one. Certain accessories such as [[Shackle]] and [[Lucky Horseshoe]] are also Blue. Certain non-craftable weapons are Blue such as the [[Ball O' Hurt]]. Most accessories are Blue. Items in this tier and above cannot be destroyed by falling in lava.
 
|-
 
| 2
 
|style="color:green;"| '''Green'''
 
| These items are largely non-craftable, with the exception of [[Necro armor]], [[Sandgun]], [[Sunglasses]], [[Obsidian Skull]], and the [[Star Cannon]]. [[Muramasa]] and [[Harpoon]] as well as spells like [[Water Bolt]] are Green. The [[Wizard Hat]] also falls under this category.

| Weapons and armor made of [[Hellstone]], jungle-related equipment and items found in chests in [[Underground Jungle]] or [[Underworld]] are Orange. Certain non-craftable weapons and accessories are Orange, such as the [[Staff of Regrowth]], [[Rocket Boots]], [[Feral Claws]], [[Flower of Fire]], and the [[Dark Lance]]. [[Hardmode]] ores and materials are also here.

| Magenta is the base rarity of rare and powerful hardmode items, such as the [[Flamethrower]], or the [[Dao of Pow]]. Most of these items are crafted out of rare drops and near end-game materials. This color can easily be confused with purple, the next tier.

    The Shadow Key opens Shadow Chests found in the Underworld. It is not consumed upon use, and one Shadow Key can be used limitlessly to open all Shadow Chests. It can be found in Gold Chests in the Dungeon (which each require one Golden Key to open). Only one is ever necessary and they do not stack, unlike Golden Keys, which are consumed upon use.
