Rarity

Many things in Eatme.io

have a rarity - Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic or Legendary

Fish Bowls
Fish Bowls of a higher rarity take longer to open, but have a higher chance of containing a better item or fish and more coins or shells. Better bowls also contain more items.

Fish Bowl Tiers:
Aside from the standard rarity, fishbowls also have a "tier" rating assigned to them (numbered 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest tier) that is seperate from the rarity of the bowl itself. Higher tiered fishbowls yield higher quality base rewards, as well as a chance of getting rarer materials and fish that are unobtainable from the lower tiered fish bowls. The tier of the fishbowl is indicated by the number on the bottom of the fishbowl (1-5).

There are two factors that determine what tier of fishbowl you obtain after a game: The stage you play on, and the level of your fish. New players start in Predatory Pond (Stage 1) with Tier 1 Fish Bowls, and each stage above that yields the next highest tier of fishbowls, all the way up to Stage 5 (Arctic Ocean).

However unlocking the stage is only the first step, as your fish must also be at least 1 level higher than the prerequisite to actually play on the level; So for example, in order to start obtaining Tier 2 fishbowls, your fish needs to be at least Level 11 while playing on Chump Lake (Level 2). If your fish is still only level 10 you'll continue to get Tier 1 fish bowls from Chump Lake until you reach level 11 with that fish.

Here's a list of what specific stage you must play on, and what fish level is required to obtain each tier of fishbowl:


 * Tier 1: Predatory Pond (Stage 1) - Fish Level: 1


 * Tier 2: Chump Lake (Stage 2) - Fish Level: 11


 * Tier 3: Ravaging River (Stage 3) - Fish Level: 26


 * Tier 4: Kush's Ship (Stage 4) - Fish Level: 41


 * Tier 5: Arctic Ocean (Stage 5) - Fish Level: 56

Fish
Fish of a certain rarity can be found in fish bowls. Food is then added to this fish. How much depends on the rarity (for example finding a common Seahorse adds less food than finding an epic Seahorse). If a better version of a fish is found the fish also gets upgraded. It unlocks the ability to feed the fish more food (which adds stars to a fish). There are also different graphics in the fish selection depending on the rarity.

Food
Food has a certain rarity. Rare food counts more than common food if fed
