Think of parcel rarity like getting different quality properties in real estate - some are basic apartments, others are luxury mansions! Here's everything you need to know about the four types of virtual land in Atlas Earth.
How rarity works:
Random assignment - Parcel rarities indicate the base rate of virtual rent per second for each parcel. Rarities are randomly assigned when you purchase a parcel and are not predetermined
Earning differences - Rarer parcels generate more virtual rent per second, and more common parcels generate less
Visual indicators - Parcels also have unique levels of foliage that correspond to their rarities. Rarer parcels have more foliage, and more common parcels have less foliage
The four rarity levels:
🟫 Common - $0.0000000011 per second
- Most basic parcel type
- Minimal foliage/decorations
- Still earns steady rent, just at the base rate
🔵 Rare - $0.0000000016 per second
- About 45% more rent than Common
- Noticeable improvement in appearance
- A nice step up in earning power
🟣 Epic - $0.0000000022 per second
- Double the rent of Common parcels
- Impressive visual upgrades
- Significant boost to your portfolio
🟡 Legendary - $0.0000000044 per second
- 4x the rent of Common parcels
- Maximum foliage and stunning appearance
- The holy grail of Atlas Earth parcels!
How to check your parcel rarities:
Buy Land screen - You can see parcel rarity details by clicking the '?' button next to the common rent listed on the Buy Land screen
Profile breakdown - Click on the '?' button in the upper right corner of your parcel breakdown in your game profile
Visual inspection - Look at the foliage level on your parcels on the map
Upgrade options:
Legendary Parcel Upgrades - If you want to make more from a parcel that is not Legendary, you can upgrade it for 2,500 Atlas Bucks
Premium benefits - Upgraded parcels earn Legendary rates AND get exclusive monthly cosmetic designs
Visual transformation - Your parcel gets a complete makeover with premium appearance
Strategy tips:
- Celebrate the rare ones - Getting Epic or Legendary parcels naturally is like hitting the lottery!
- Consider upgrades wisely - Upgrading Common parcels to Legendary can be worth it for long-term earning
- Portfolio balance - Even Common parcels contribute steady income to your empire
- Visual enjoyment - Higher rarity parcels make your map look more impressive
The math in perspective: While the per-second amounts look tiny, remember they add up 24/7! A Legendary parcel earns about $0.14 per year, while a Common earns about $0.035 per year (before boosts and badges).
Every parcel is a valuable piece of your virtual real estate empire!
