Shiny Items

Shiny items are rare alternative versions of certain UT items (with the exception of a few select tiered items) that drop from the same locations as their regular counterparts at a much lower rate. All shiny items will appear in white bags or cyan bags. They can only drop if you are playing on a Seasonal Character, but they can still be transferred to your regular Vault.

Shiny items’ sprites (along with the sprites of their projectiles, summons, etc. depending on their type) differ from their regular counterparts’ sprites. Shiny items will also play a “shine” effect animation whenever you equip them. You can not forge shiny items, but you can still dismantle them for material if they are UT items.

Most batches of shiny items are added to the game with every new season of the Battlepass.

History
Shiny items were introduced in Exalt Version 3.3.5.0 (Mar 2023).

Trivia

• Shiny items are most likely inspired by Shiny Pokemon, which are rare variants of creatures in the Pokemon franchise.
• The Shiny Kendo Stick and Shiny Jewel Eye Katana are much rarer than other shinies.
• The Shiny Jewel Eye Katana’s drop location is a reference to a bug that occurred around Summer in 2023 which prevented the normal Jewel Eye Katana from dropping from every possible location except for the Cave of a Thousand Treasures.
