Item Rarities in Xenoblade Chronicles 3

In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, every item you can find in the game is broken down into three rarities, which will also indicate the strength of an item especially when we are talking about equipment. The rarities include:

  • Common
  • Rare
  • Legendary

Below, we’ll go over each one in a bit more detail.

Common – White

Items in white are the most common, and are usually not that useful unless in a pinch. While this will likely be what is in your inventory at the initial stages of the game, expect things to change the deeper you go into Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Rare – Yellow

Moving up a tier, items in yellow fall into the rare category, where things become more powerful and valuable. Your party will always benefit from having rare gear in their possession, and you should make full use of these items as much as possible.

Legendary – Purple

Lastly, the best gear in most cases will be the legendary gear, which is indicated by the color purple. The highest rarity tier in the game, getting your hands on such an item doesn’t happen that often, but when you do, it can be a gamechanger.

How to Get Legendary Items in Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Legendary items are found randomly throughout the world, such as in containers or as quest rewards, with the former being the easiest way to get them. Aside from a select few items, many legendary items fall under collectibles that can then be used for registering Collectopaedia Cards, cooking, gem crafting, and more.
