For many gamers, the utility of these hard-to-find rare items is almost zero.
In most games, one of the best ways for developers to engage players is to create rare and hard-to-find items as rewards for conquering challenges. Usually, these items require very difficult challenges or are relatively rare to obtain. However, not everything gamers invest in is always worth what they receive in return. The reason is simple because even though items may be super rare, sometimes they don't bring much utility.
Crown of Barenziah
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim boasts tons of armor, weapons, and equipment hidden for players to discover, and surely, the Crown of Barenziah is the worst of them all. The process of acquiring this item is quite challenging as players must find 24 Barenziah Stones scattered throughout Skyrim's world in the most perilous places.
The crown lies within Tolvald's Cave, in a discreet location that players often easily overlook. Despite its rarity, the Crown of Barenziah has very limited effects, only providing the ability to find gems and earn money faster for players - something not truly essential in Skyrim.
Arriving here, many may question the purpose of this cloak. It serves only one function: to garner more attention to Ezio. This implies that all guards in every area of the game will automatically be alerted to Ezio's presence and attempt to attack him upon sight. A reward that seems somewhat counterproductive, doesn't it?
