Template:ArticleBorder All items in Star Wars: The Old Republic have a quality or rarity rating associated with them, which is defined by the item's text and icon border color. The item quality indicates the item's worth and rarity. The item's level should also be considered as higher level items with a lower quality might be better than a lower level item of better quality. There are eight types of quality.
