Mewgenics Item Rarity Guide
In Mewgenics, item rarity is shown by the background color and the shape behind the item icon. Color indicates the general tier, and the number of edges on the shape increases rarity within that color. The more defined and complex the shape, the rarer the item.
If you were confused by triangles, diamonds, and squares behind your gear, that is the rarity system.
How Item Rarity Is Displayed
Rarity uses two visual elements:
Background color
Shape and number of edges
Color shows the general tier. Shape edges scale rarity within that tier.
Here is what is confirmed:
No background, Common
Grey background, Uncommon
Yellow background, mid tier rarity
Red background, high tier rarity
Purple background, Cursed
Within yellow and red tiers, items with more edges are rarer than those with fewer edges.
How Shape Edges Increase Rarity
Shape complexity matters.
For example:
A triangle has fewer edges than a square
A square has fewer edges than a diamond style shape
Players have reported red diamond items as the highest normal rarity tier outside of quest or side quest items.
This means a red triangle would be lower than a red square, and a red square would be lower than a red diamond.
More edges equals higher rarity.
What Cursed Items Mean
Purple background items are Cursed.
Cursed items usually provide strong effects but come with drawbacks. Their rarity is separate from normal tier progression.
They are not just higher rarity. They are a different category.
Worn And Broken Items
A black background means the item is currently worn.
Worn items may show small crack indicators. They still function but may break after adventures.
Broken items are unusable and should be removed.
Rarity and durability are separate systems.
Are Higher Rarity Items Always Better
Higher rarity items tend to have stronger or more complex effects.
However, synergy still determines value. A mid tier item that fits your build can outperform a high tier item that does not.
Do not equip something just because it has more edges.
Final Blurb
Mewgenics item rarity is determined by background color and shape edges. Grey is lower tier, yellow is mid tier, red is high tier, and purple indicates Cursed items. Within each color, more edges mean higher rarity. Once you understand this visual system, you can instantly judge item tier at a glance.
