One of the best things about Terraria is how much stuff there is and the amazing things players can do with them. But some are almost impossible to get hold of.
Terraria has over 4,000 items as of the 2020 update and is renowned for being so expansive that players always find something new to do on whatever console they play on. These items can do wonderful things, be rather destructive, or just look pretty in a house. Nevertheless, as it is in most games, they don't always come easy.

Some items in Terraria are difficult to get, often requiring players to kill huge bosses, but others are so rare that they have less than a 0.1% chance of being obtained. While this is frustrating, most of them are undeniably worth the hassle and provide a nice break from hunting for Easter Eggs.
10 Reindeer Bells
Reindeer Bells' rarity varies from 0.56% to 0.83%, and it was the first item added to Terraria that summons a mount. However, this mount is anything but average. The item summons Rudolph himself, including his shiny red nose, and he offers speeds that make you faster than a player with Lightning Boots.
This item can be obtained by defeating the most challenging boss of the Frost Moon event, the Ice Queen from wave 15 onwards. The player can fly on Rudolph and run extremely quickly, making this tough battle worth the effort.
9 Money Trough
With a tiny 0.5% drop chance, the Money Trough summons a cute tiny piggy bank that can be used to store money to keep it safe from death or just to keep it out of the hands of other players.
While it doesn't follow the player, the piggy bank can be re-summoned whenever. It serves as a perfect assistant if the player is looking to stray away from their home base for a while and wants to protect their hard-earned funds.
8 Magical Pumpkin Seed
The Magical Pumpkin Seed is a pet summoner that has only a 0.5% chance to drop. Not only that but it can only be found during the Halloween season. This makes it not only rare but extremely challenging to get hold of, although luckily all the player needs to do is harvest pumpkins during this time of year.
The Magical Pumpkin Seed summons an adorable Squashling which allows the player to get their hands on a rare pet that just looks like Jack 'o' Lantern with vines as legs. It's creepy but cute and the perfect Halloween companion!
7 Wisp In A Bottle
Similar to the Magical Pumpkin Seed, the Wisp in a Bottle is a cute little wisp pet summoner. It's similar to a Fairy Bell or the spell Shadow Orb but unlike those, the wisp will follow the player's movements. While this item has a tiny 0.25% drop rate, it's handy since it also serves as a light.

Due to it being a light source and its ability to follow the player around, this item becomes impeccable when traveling through or looking for caves and ores since it can also pass through walls. Wisp in a Bottle can be obtained by defeating either Blue Armored Bones or Hell Armored Bones in hard mode, although a drop isn't guaranteed.

6 Lizard Egg
This item is dropped by Flying Snakes and Lihzahrds inside the Jungle Temple, and it only has a 0.1% drop rate. This makes it one of the rarest pet summoners in the game. However, it does summon this tiny lizard that will follow the player around and fly to them if it gets left behind.
It should be noted that this is, in fact, a social pet and will not fight with or for you. While that is a shame, this pet is well worth getting purely for the cute factor.
5 Pirate Staff
It seems to be a theme that summoning items are among the rarest in the game but they can come in handy, especially the Pirate Staff. This item has a tiny drop rate of 0.05% and can be found after the pirate invasion.
What makes this item so incredible is the fact that it spawns mini pirates who fight for you with tiny swords. They defecate on the ground from time to time and will be carried by parrots to catch up to the player if they get too far away.
4 Lucky Coin
This item is an incredibly rare accessory that can only be obtained in hard mode while fighting the pirates during the Pirate Invasion. If the player fights these pirates on the Flying Dutchman, this item's drop rate increases to 0.5%; however, anywhere else, it's an almost impossible 0.025%.

The Lucky Coin is an item that allows there to be a 20% chance that 1 to 10 extra coins will drop each time the player hits an enemy. The probabilities of coin type mean that it's an 89.1% chance to get copper, 9.9% for silver, and a tiny 1% chance for gold. Nevertheless, the Lucky Coin is incredibly useful.
3 Amber Mosquito
Found by feeding Desert Fossils, slush, or silt into an Extractinator, this summoner is not a likely or quick drop. With a drop rate of an almost non-existent 0.02%, many players consider themselves beyond lucky to boast the small green dinosaur they get to summon from this item.
Similar to other pets, when the player runs too far away from the dinosaur, it gets carried by a Pterodactyl and appears by your side. Many of the rarest items in the games are summoners but this one certainly takes the cake for the most time-consuming item to get hold of, unless the player is incredibly lucky and gets it the first time.
2 Coin Gun
This item does what it says on the tin, it shoots coins at enemies and is said to have the second rarest drop rate in the game, at 0.0125%. However, it's not considered the rarest item since the player can just keep taking part in pirate invasions to try to get their hands on it, but even then it's still difficult.
The Coin Gun does some pretty impressive damage as well as having an insanely fast use time. The damage depends on the coins: a copper coin does 25 damage, a silver coin does 50 damage, gold is 100 damage, and platinum coins do a huge 200 damage. This makes it an incredibly sought after weapon and one that the players will struggle to find, but it will be worth it when they do.
1 Slime Staff
The Slime Staff has the smallest drop chance of any item in the game and is, therefore, the rarest. With a drop chance of 0.01%, the player will be killing slimes for days just to get hold of this stuff. But when it summons a tiny slime companion who can do 6 attacks per second when at maximum potential, it's certainly worth it.
There are many tips to get hold of this staff which include statue farms, lava, and graveyards, but even with all this, that drop chance is just incredibly slim. Nevertheless, that baby slime is just far too useful to pass up.
