Top 5 RAREST Items in New Leaf?

[Riyita]

I am guessing some Japan DLC? Do you know what they are? If not, what do you think?

 

[Twisted Circuits]

I think the berliner would be one. You have to have the German 3DS and a German game. Add to that, you only get it on New Years.

I don't think items can be really "rare" at this point. People are willing to time travel for items only available on specific holidays. People are also willing to dupe one-time DLCs.

I would say any of the zodiac items are some are the rarest, because not very many people will travel years ahead. o;

I obtained several Berliners actually and I don't own a German game nor DS. I also obtained the grapes, tweeter and juice without visiting other towns.

To define what's rare you'll have to give a definition of what you feel is rare. Items that can only be obtained on a certain day shouldn't be considered rare since time travelling will enable you to obtain as many as you'd like. What I would define as rare are unorderable items from foreign games, specifically Japanese and Korean, since not that many players in the Western world (or this community) own them. For example the Korean new year item Bell Knicknack or the somewhat easier to obtain Japanese New Year Noodles.

The Zodiac set shouldn't be considered rare since they can be obtained in all games. The horoscope set shouldn't be considered rare since it's orderable. One might even say the special items sold only on Club Tortimer islands are rare, since they can't be ordered, time travelling is no guarantee that you will obtain one, and you can't invite others to visit the island.

I'll add in the cardboard/sloppy stuff since it's pretty hard to obtain. I think it's even harder than island stuff. I've only ever ran across 1 sloppy item in my Re-tail and there's no method to make them appear either. :/

I'd say the sea bass is pretty rare in ACNL.

I have to agree on that. I never had one in my hands so it slipped my mind.

Best joke of the week.

Nothing's rare. If it's somewhat commonly circulating on Re-Tail, it's not rare.

So how do you actually get sloppy items?

From re-tail (flea market) or a villager with it in their house!

It's a flower.

 

[Xela]

And it's very rare?

I had Mott. He had a full sloppy room.

When I was doing villager cycling, sloppy pieces seemed to appear pretty frequently in Re-Tail.

 

[Xela]

My Re-Tail sucks. It rarely updates.

 

[Jinglefruit]

I'd say the rarest items would be the Korean only DLC / holiday items. They're pretty difficult to come by people trading.
