Action RPGs, and well, RPGs in general, imply exploration and rewards. The longer you go, the more rare items you will encounter in your way. And the rarer the items, the more valuable they are. That applies to enemies and places as well, which can give you a hard time, specially if you do not have the required level to confront them. Anyway, rarity colors are a common thing to use as well to distinguish between the item classes. Here are all the rarity colors in Path of Exile, explained.
