This came up in Linkshell chat today.
Name an item that is rare or has some useful effect that not many people know about.

Example:

You know that annoying Wooden Gate in Jugner Forest (S) that you have to walk all the way around? Turns out there's a KI to open it.

KI for the Garliage gates, you'd be suprised how many people still don't know about it.

You kidding. Though it's rare now, This was hot stuff back in the day. When people would make /seacom for party invites saying where they had access to. Having <Moon> was a good way to get an invite because the do was fast at the time.

I'm shocked it took them so long at make KI's for places like GC.

(Need to look through my mountain of KIs to see if any of them are rare)

I remember those days when I would put like <Moon> <Runic Portal> 5/5 <Long Time>.

I always tried to get every KI I can get my hand on that grants access to places so as to get a one up in PT invites lol.

That dagger was more of a pain. If you ended up coming to Sky on a different job, you would have to rely on Stealing the Buccaneer's Dagger again instead of just trading it to someone else.

There is a ki called Bracelet of verve to open the doors solo in Halvung as well (not that people go there much but helps when going there for Zeni, or Gurfurlur the Menacing maybe).

One for the gates in The Eldieme Necropolis (KI called Magicked astrolabe), and you can get a Loadstone key item to use the weighted plates solo in Quicksand caves.

I have informed a ton of people about the QSC key item on Phoenix. I would solo a lot by the far entrance and people would need me to help open it. After letting them through, I would send them a tell like <Teleport-Altep> <Gate Breach> <Item> <Goblin> or whatever I could find in auto-translate if they didn't speak english.

I feel like the Gobbie Box was designed for item awareness, half the crap I get are things I've never heard of.

I feel like the gobbie box is telling me to lvl up Woodworking with all the logs I've gotten since it started.

Yeah, if I do not get food I normally get some type of furnishing too though I did luck out and get a broken Lu Shang's rod once.

Portal Charm - Acquired from doing Windurst Mission 3-2 that most people end up skipping and having to redo. Allows you to get through 3 mages gate alone. Maybe not rare, but very quite useful.

Rhinostery Certificate - Acquired by doing a quest line in Windurst. Alows back door access to Toraimarai Canal from Windurst Walls bellow the House of the Hero. Very useful to get down in the canal fast. I would also say maybe on the rare side as I would guess not many know about it.

Blue/Green bracelet - Acquired in Pso'Xja Tower by Ranguemont Pass. Allows you to explore the tower fully. Not overly useful but not something I would expect others to have very much.

These are the ones that stood out to me that you guys hadn't mentioned. Not sure how others feel about them or what other ones you guys feel should be mentioned.
