[[Unique]] is a property of certain [[item]]s that prevents the player from equipping multiple copies of that item at one time. This property is mostly, but not exclusively, associated with [[equipment]] of {{rarity|Ascended}} [[rarity]], especially [[ascended trinket]]s. Certain [[trophy|trophies]] and other non-equipment items have the unique characteristic, even though it has no impact on their functionality. Similarly, it has no effect on [[back item|back]] equipment and [[amulet]]s, because only one of each type can be equipped anyway.

== Overview ==
Normally, if two identical items are obtained, and two appropriate equipment slots are available, both can be equipped. For instance, [[accessory]] [[Koda's Gift]] is not unique, so a pair of them can be equipped at once in two accessory slots. However, with unique items, you can only equip one copy at once. For instance, if you obtain 2 [[Ancient Karka Shell]]s, any given character can only equip one of them at once. Each Ancient Karka Shell only takes up one accessory slot, and the second slot can be used to equip a different accessory, but '''not''' a second Ancient Karka Shell. It would be possible to equip a [[Orichalcum Earring#itemct8|Charged Quartz Orichalcum Earring]] as the second accessory, which still has Celestial attributes.

Again, this does '''not''' prevent you from equipping two items with equivalent stats, even if both items are unique. For instance, you can equip both a [[Magister's Field Journal]] and an [[Althea's Ashes]], even though they are ''functionally'' equivalent with Berserker attributes and the unique property. Most ascended rings and accessories are marked as unique, with at least one other trinket existing with the exact same attributes. The unique property primarily serves to make utilizing trinkets of both the same slot and prefix more difficult, particularly in the case where the trinket's prefix is selectable.

An [[attuned]] or [[infused]] variant of an item counts as a different item for purpose of uniqueness. However, items with different upgrade components still count as the same. (Note: inserting an [[infusion]] is not the same as [[infused|infusing]] an item, and will fail to "bypass" the unique property.)

* Uniqueness has no impact on inventory storage or non-simultaneous usage. A character can have two or more [[Sparking Petrified Wood]]s of different prefixes, with the intention of only having one equipped at a time.
* Uniqueness does not imply that you can only get one of an item. In most cases, you can obtain multiple copies of the item — but again, multiple copies still can't be used by the same character at the same time.

== Additional examples ==
;Can be equipped together
* A [[Ring of Red Death]] and a [[Crystalline Band]] — they are different items, even though they are both Berserker stats.
* A [[Sparking Petrified Wood]] and a [[Black Ice Earring]] — even if you select the same prefix for both items.
* A [[Ring of Red Death]] and a [[Ring of Red Death (Infused)]] — these are considered different items.
* A [[Ring of Red Death (Infused)]] and an [[Attuned Ring of Red Death]] — again, these are different items.

;Cannot be equipped together
* Two [[Polla]]s, even though you have two [[accessory]] slots.
* Two [[Sparking Petrified Wood]]s, even though you might select different prefixes for each accessory.
* A [[Ring of Red Death]] with an empty infusion slot, and a [[Ring of Red Death]] with an [[infusion]] slotted — they are the same item, regardless of the slotted upgrade.

== List of unique equipment and exceptions ==
=== Trinkets ===
Almost all ascended trinkets are Unique (the entire list can be seen at [[:Category:Ascended trinkets]]), ''except'' for the following items:

<div style="display: inline-block; column-count: 3; -moz-column-count: 3; -webkit-column-count: 3;">
{{#ask: [[Is unique::false]][[Has trinket type::+]][[Has item rarity::Ascended]][[Is infused::N]] OR [[Has game id::80793]] OR [[Has game id::80058]] OR [[Has game id::98321]] OR [[Has game id::98303]]|link=none|format=ul|template=Item icon with infused link|columns=3|limit=250|default=(No results found for query.)}}
</div>
Some non-ascended trinkets are Unique:
<div style="display: inline-block; column-count: 3; -moz-column-count: 3; -webkit-column-count: 3;">
{{#ask: [[Is unique::true]][[Has trinket type::+]][[Has item rarity::!Ascended]]|link=none|format=ul|template=Item icon|limit=500|default=(No results found for query.)|limit=250}}
</div>

=== Back items ===
Many, but not all, ascended and legendary backpacks are Unique, but this has no impact on their use because you can only equip one back item at a time anyway.

=== Weapons ===
Despite almost no weapons being Unique, certain raid weapons are. The same exact Unique weapon (same id, regardless of transmuted skin or selected stats) may be equipped on either weapon set, but only on the same slot (main-hand or off-hand). This also applies to raid weapons with a different name (id) but with the same default skin and selected stats.
<div style="display: inline-block; column-count: 3; -moz-column-count: 3; -webkit-column-count: 3;">
{{#ask: [[Is unique::true]][[Has item rarity::Ascended]][[Has weapon type::+]]|link=none|format=ul|template=Item icon|limit=500|default=(No results found for query.)|limit=100}}
</div>

=== Other items ===
Some non-equipment items are flagged as Unique, despite not having any effect. This is mostly used for flavor when the player should only expect to acquire one copy, such as trophies for collections.
{{#ask: [[Is unique::true]][[Has item rarity::!Ascended]][[Has item rarity::!Legendary]][[Has item type::!Back item]][[Has item type::!Accessory]][[Has item type::!Ring]][[Has item type::!Amulet]]|link=none|format=ul|template=Item icon|limit=500|default=(No results found for query.)|limit=0|searchlabel=See this query for a list.}}

== Notes ==
* The technical implementation is that no two unique items with the same [[Chat link format|item ID]] may be equipped. This is why inserting upgrades makes no difference, but [[Infused equipment|infusing]] or [[Attuned equipment|attuning]] a ring does, as these processes change the item's ID.

== Trivia ==
* Historically, ascended rings and accessories with equivalent stats had different types of infusion slots (offensive vs defensive), and so were not quite equivalent. All infusion slots were unified on July 26, 2016, eliminating that distinction and making these items exactly equivalent.
