    As I said, exceptions, there are some. And that has nothing to do with the rarity of the item and more to do with its type. Those paints will most likely be gotten in a completely different way than the usual paint. Please look forward to it!

    (other exceptions include such things as big fish, unhidden maps, the quest-related Ixali crafted mats - which to extend the paint analogy, each of these items is gotten in a different way than the usual type for that item. Big Fish do not follow the usual rules of bait/fish, unhidden maps are not gotten in the usual way as regular maps, and the questline Ixali items are different from the regular ones.)

    So what you are saying is all these "exceptions" are uncommonly found items.

    Nope, they aren't 'found' at all. They are obtained through deliberate means. Sands and oils are drops. To get the green items you have to do something beyond the norm, and no, finding a treasure from a map is not the norm, it's a result from a deliberate effort by someone with a high level gatherer class.

    I still don't really see how sands of time are uncommon...

    Also, they are just another token, considering how they are used to "purchase" the upgraded item. They are just like the Unidentified Allagan tombstone.

    How about this explanation: Items with a unique color indication must be the "final form" of that item. If said item can be used as currency to purchase another item, then it doesn't get a unique color indication.

    Sound good? That rule would go with the other items listed that have unique colors.


    I mean ATMA crystals are just the plain ordinary non-special color too right? I think those should be super rare quality for some people. :P
