List of Rare items

A list of all key items classified as Rare items. Also see the list of Important items. The three Class-changing items, Mysterious Card, Trainer's Whip, and Tomegathericon are all also categorized by the game as Rare items. The primary difference between a Rare item and an Important item is that rare items can be sold, and the more important rare items in general are counted as Artifacts that mean they can be bought back at a later date.

Rare items in Golden Sun
Empty Bottle: "Extracts water from a magic spring": Found in a chest in Imil. When used at the well at the entrance of Mercury Lighthouse, it will be filled with Hermes' Water. It empties if an Adept uses the Hermes' Water.

Hermes' Water: "Replenishes all HP": Has the exact same effect as a Potion. When used it empties itself, and can be refilled at the fountain in Mercury Lighthouse. Thus, it can be refilled unlimited times.
