If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

I'll set this one out.

But now I'm even more intrigued 👀

Ooooh - rarest EVE online item. That is tough. In game, I dont really hold too many rare items - a bookmark in Polaris when i was one of the NFSI FCs at Fanfest 2023 - thats pretty rare. That (i believe) is the Dev staging system in EVE online, and there are not many non-devs that would have that.

Aside from that a few in game announcements including these:

I was pretty proud of this one too... FUN INCs corp ticker is [EBWF] - even better with friends... i think that this is a nod to us & NPSI!

Pretty chuffed looking back at these... thanks JA for casting my mind back!

Nice! - hadn't appreciated you'd had the (mis)pleasure of flying with me! Now that was a fun day! :D

Be hold, the Pith C-Type Orange

Contains more Vitamin C than the regular T2 Standard Orange. (appeared on our Discord)

Prevents space scurvy! If you don´t accept the Orange.....

Yes, some of us own a second brand new Capsule, just in case. As an alternative i would present you the Zephyr.

On YC111 every registered capsuleer received a single version of it. The current usage isn´t existing but maybe in the future it will be a unique ship.

Fitting is limited, just one High Slot which only can fit the special Probe Luncher “Iris”. Sleepers in WH Space won´t shoot you, thats it.

**Take it or leave it.**Collector's Item of choice? Yes, for me :P

I love that the orange comes pre-peeled. I should go run some DED-sites... :)

Anaconda Mine

I honestly have no idea how "rare" this thing is. I have a container called "Junk Drawer" that I keep all my weird, odd, rare items in and I have a lot of stuff in there. But these (there are others but they are still in Jita) are no longer used in-game. They were only used very briefly way back at the beginning of Eve and pretty quickly abandoned. So they serve no purpose now, other than for us weird collectors of rare items.

I probably have things more rare than this, but this is what popped into my head.

See we had back in the days mine fileds... but now they are gone. I don´t care if the server can technically handle this... but i want SHIP which deploys mines :P

My rarest collector's item is the Guardian-Vexor, so precious that I keep it on a separate character that I haven't logged into for years, just to avoid the temptation to undock it. According to my sources, only 12 of the original 50 ships remain in the entire game.

The story of how I acquired it is rather boring.

I started a new character from scratch in mid-2004 as a Yulai trade alt, aiming to demonstrate to a friend that knowledge is the most valuable asset in EVE. After completing the initial 10 "tutorial" mission chain, I found myself with a few ISK in the Alentene system. There, I joined a random production corp and began semi-afk jetcan-mining career with a Velator, selling ore to my corp mates. The next day, they lent me an Exequror, which boasted 4 turret slots and a base cargo of 600m3 (I still remember these details vividly).

My initial goal was to earn 4.5 million ISK for a Vexor hull, but then I spotted a modified Guardian-Vexor on the market for 16 million ISK. This version had a missile launcher hardpoint, and I knew that with a Rapid Light Missile Launcher filled with defenders, I could effectively combat missile-wielding rats. So, I decided to mine an extra day and purchase the Guardian-Vexor for mission running. So I did.

Fortunately, I quickly progressed to battleship-class ships, sparing my Guardian-Vexor from an explosion. It remains docked in a secret station, unlikely to see the stars again, which is a bit saddening.

You ever want to part with that I know a Pirate who would love to own it. :)

So mine is the Poacher EM Shield Hardener, if you see the image below, if I remember rightly (don't quote me on this) it is not longer able to be gotten in-game due to the cosmos chain being shut down, so it is incredibly rare. We got this, around I think, 5-6 years ago by Cosmos farming as a group, we have a ton of them, stuff that can no longer be gotten in-game

My rarest item is a Concord battleship class hull called Marshal, with a name "Sad Dreams".

Its not just rare, it was probably the most expensive single item i bought. The story is pretty boring, i always been "look at" Concord BS, it was so beautiful. True spaceship. Ive checked the market and saw couple for around 4.5b isk. So i hopped on my Orca and started to mine asteroids in hisec, after about a month i got necessary sum and bought one. The end.

I mean i didnt rezlied 2 factors: for pve it worse that my generic t2 fitted Paladin, and its a gank target. So its docked in a station and i never use it, this make me very sad, but i cant sell it for some reason...
