The Vault:Notable loot policy

In order to keep articles about locations useful for readers and clutter-free, only notable loot is to be listed, i.e. items that are of special interest. In order for an item to be considered notable, they must fit into at least one of the categories below:


 * Uniqueness or rarity
 * High monetary value
 * Used in repeatable quests, and found in substantial amounts
 * Oversized or undersized variants of otherwise non-notable items
