'''Rare Commodities''', officially called '''Rare goods''', are unique [[Commodities]] that are exclusive to specific markets and only available in limited amounts. Unlike normal Commodities, they always rise in value the further away they are sold from their origin station, with their price peaking at 200 ly away. The availability or allocation of a specific Rare Commodity can fluctuate depending on the state of the minor faction that sells it, and in the event the minor faction loses control of the station, its associated Rare Commodity will be unavailable for purchase until the minor faction regains control.

* The quantity available (Supply) per player is limited to a set base value modified by the system state such as boom.
* '''If player's ship already has that quantity or more of the commodity in its cargo hold, then they will not see any more Supply available.''' They will be unable to buy more until 10 minutes has expired since they were last in the station with the rare goods.

Many of the rare commodities have special use as gifts for [[Engineers]] to start working for the player - to 'unlock' them. This causes a problem (that is probably intentional) that an engineer usually asks for more units of the commodity than is it's Supply, forcing player to do several round trips to the source of commodity.

Rare goods are marked with star symbol and yellow text in Commodities Market.

{{quote|Rare goods increase in value the further you travel from their point of purchase.|In-Game Description}}

Following information are from 2014 and may be outdated.

The price increase can be best approximated by the following function, illustrated in the graphs below. Note that the variables p0, p1, p2, and p3 differ for various commodities, see the [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-quest-of-the-lavian-brandy.66538/page-2#post-1180390 thread] for details.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-quest-of-the-lavian-brandy.66538/ Distance Behavior of Rare Commodities (The Quest of the Lavian Brandy) by p2k]</ref><br>
<code>SP(x) = p0 + p1 * [http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Erf.html erf]((x - p2) / p3)</code>

Note that if your environment does not have an erf() function for you to use, you can use a trigonometric function instead at the cost of a bit more error - but the result should still be useful:<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-quest-of-the-lavian-brandy.66538/post-1179044 Distance Behavior of Rare Commodities (The Quest of the Lavian Brandy) by p2k (post #34)]</ref><br>
<code>SP(x) = p0 + p1 * [http://mathworld.wolfram.com/InverseTangent.html tan<sup>&minus;1</sup>]((x - p2) / p3)</code>

== Notes ==
*According to Michael Brooks, "Rare goods are intended to be a low volume, high yield good that needs to be transported over a distance. For small ships you can fill the hold with a few tons and make speed run. For larger ships you supplement normal trade goods with rare items or do large loops, picking up small quantities along the way but carrying a variety. No more than your quota for each rare will be generated."
*Some rare goods may become unavailable if changes to controlling factions make the rare good illegal. This may appear that a particular good has been removed from the game, when in actuality, the rare good is still in the game code, it is just not for sale or listed until it becomes legal to be sold at the station/outpost/starport it originates from.
*The state of the factions in a system can now affect the allocation total of rare goods. Conflict states (War, Civil War, Election) will reduce production. Other states may also lower production: Bust, Civil Unrest, Lockdown, Outbreak, Expansion, and Retreat. Boom temporarily increases production.
