Where to put rare items?

@Oddball @mauvebutterfly Though this is supposed to be a general discussion, if you're trying to help me specifically with my specific game, then I recommend that you read my conversation with Wavelength, as many details about

@Oddball You have an idea there, but this doesn't really work with the item I have in mind.

@mauvebutterfly "Recharging item" Now that is a really good idea I haven't thought of before! It is a phoenix crest, so it makes sense that it would regenerate after being used... But how would I implement the recharging? Would it be timed? Recharge some every battle? Maybe an NPC of some sort would work, though. (In case you didn't notice, I'm typing this as I read.) The rest of your post doesn't fit the item, and I have a hard time translating it into more general (or specific, depending on how you look at it) terms since I'm so tired right now.

none of the ideas i suggested work?

 

[Nutty171]

To be honest... no. Not for my game, sorry. But, as I said this is supposed to be a general discussion, so I'm not saying you shouldn't have posted. You did have some good ideas, but they just don't work for my game in particular.

Add side paths in dungeons with a side boss in them. Make the item a reward for defeating those.

@Frozen_Phoenix is right, that is a good way and probably the thing I would tell you.
