Love them or hate them, “Very Rare” items are making a comeback in WoW: Dragonflight’s second raid, Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible. These items have a significantly lower drop rate, but are usually stronger than other options at their respective gear slots, making them desirable for all classes and specs eligible to earn them.
Aberrus will introduce six Very Rare items to the game, with players having a chance to reap the rewards of their excessive strength. In season one, Very Rare items sometimes defined a spec’s throughput altogether, with some players relying entirely on items such as the Seal of Diurna’s Chosen or the Whispering Incarnate Icon.

In Aberrus, the six Very Rare items are broken down by gear slot, with four trinkets, one polearm, and one cloak to obtain. Some Very Rare items will only be available to certain classes, including the three class-specific trinkets that drop off of the second-to-last boss in the raid, Echo of Neltharion.
Here are all items classified as Very Rare on the Aberrus loot table.
