National Treasures

There are items so special, so filled with historical significance, so valuable that we consider them National Treasures.
Lie, cheat, steal, or open up your bank vault to get your filthy paws on them because there won't ever be more than one of each kind.
These are things that are found in some of the gates and are used in a special way during a concert to boost the performance.
Developer News 2007-07-18 Items in Show
A new kind of very rare items have found their way into the game: Show items. Read More»
A show item can be added to your show setlist. It will then generate a rare event that usually (but not always) will affect the next one or more songs in a nice way.
However, some restrictions in terms of genre, melody type or tempo, as well as the skills of the one using the item may apply to it's use.
These are very, very rare and can only be obtained in special ways and/or at special places. They also have very limited amounts of uses, so if you should ever come across one of these little things, choose the time for using it wisely.
It should also be said that their effect has deliberately been made quite limited: they won't turn a bad show into a good one, and they won't turn the tables within the charts - think of them as something that will spice things up, not as a key to success!
A small number of these items have already been added (in special locations); more will be added in the future.
