Become the Potato Potato Rarities Tier List

Ranking every rarity band

Become the Potato! ends each trip with a new potato. The published bands are Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and MYTHIC, with Mythic called out at 0.1% per trip end. Across the album you are hunting 25 potato varieties plus 14 tasty dishes. This page ranks those rarity bands for collection priority and spend priority, then explains how to farm each band without wasting coins or skips.

Return to the Tier List Hub for the short map, or jump to the roles tier list when you need stage advice instead of drop advice. Collectors who only care about the jackpot should also keep Mythic potatoes open beside this list.

Full rarity tier table

Tier	Rarity	Approx. feel	Spend advice
S	MYTHIC	0.1% jackpot	Max skips, Lucky Charm, focused sessions
A	Legendary	Scarce showcase	Spend after Mythic pressure, still worth coins
B	Epic	Mid-album pride	Farm naturally, boost when close to finishing
C	Rare	Steady progress	Fill while learning the trip
D	Common	Volume filler	Accept early; do not burn VIP time chasing only Commons

S-tier: MYTHIC

Mythic is the crown of the collection. The listed 0.1% rate means most trips will not pay one out. That scarcity is exactly why Mythic sits alone in S. Treat every Mythic session like a planned hunt: clear dailies, claim codes, equip Lucky Charm if you own it, and use Skip the Line, Skip Time, or Skip To End from Pranks and skips to multiply attempts.

Do not expect a Mythic on a casual ten-minute login. Batch your trips. Pair Mythic hunts with roles that keep you engaged so you do not rage-quit the queue. Farmer and Driver keep the early path lively; Chef and Eater make the plate beat fun while you wait for the roll.

A-tier: Legendary

Legendaries are the next showcase tier. They are rare enough to feel special in screenshots and common enough that dedicated players will see them before a Mythic drought ends. Spend coin shop boosts here when you already secured at least one Mythic, or when a Legendary is the missing piece that completes a visual set.

If you are brand new, do not empty the shop on Legendaries before you understand the farm to Island loop. Learn the trip in Getting Started, then promote Legendary to a primary spend target.

B-tier: Epic

Epics are the spine of a respectable album. They prove you are completing trips on purpose, not just AFKing the queue. Boost Epics when you are one or two away from finishing that band, otherwise let natural clears fill them while you hunt higher.

Epics also pair well with dish goals. Many players feel stuck when the potato book looks half empty even though dishes are progressing. Track both albums so B-tier potatoes and dish unlocks move together.

C-tier: Rare

Rares teach pacing. You will see them often enough to learn which pranks you enjoy and which roles fit your friends. Use Rare volume to practice Bonk, Fork swap, Spud Launcher, Ketchup Rain, Salt Storm, Scare All, and Air Horn without feeling like every failed Mythic roll was a waste.

Do not vendor attention on Rares once the band is complete. Keep rolling, but mentally reassign the session goal to Epic or higher.

D-tier: Common

Commons are not worthless. They onboard you to the fantasy: dig on the farm, ride the truck, get picked at the store, bubble in the sink, land on a plate, then float to Potato Island. Early Commons prove the loop works. After the Common band is full, treat new Commons as soft pity that still advances dishes or playtime gifts.

Never spend premium skips exclusively for Commons. Skips exist to multiply rolls toward S and A.

Collection priority roadmap

1. Hours 0–2: Finish Commons, sample every role, claim daily rewards and playtime gifts.
2. Hours 2–5: Clear Rares, buy cheap coin shop quality-of-life, learn skips safely.
3. Mid collection: Push Epics to completion while rotating roles from the Players Hub.
4. Late collection: Focus Legendary gaps, then open dedicated Mythic blocks with VIP and Lucky Charm.
5. Completionist mode: Sweep remaining dishes, re-read Updates for new varieties, and keep codes redeemed.

How trips feed the tier list

Every clear is a roll. Faster clears mean more rolls. That is why skips, VIP, and Lucky Charm matter even though they are not rarities themselves. Read VIP and Lucky Charm for shop math, then come back here to decide which band deserves the next boost.

Scripts are optional and risky. If you still want QoL automation, check Scripts and understand the account cost before combining tools with Mythic hunts.

Dishes versus potato rarities

Dishes are a parallel collection of 14 recipes. They do not replace Mythic prestige, but a finished dish shelf makes Potato Island feel alive. Rank dishes as side objectives: finish easy dishes during Common and Rare farming, then chase showcase dishes while you burn skips on Legendary and Mythic nights.

Mistakes that waste investment

• Chasing Mythic with zero skips and no daily login streak.
• Ignoring roles so every trip feels identical and you quit early.
• Spending the whole coin shop before reading shop progression.
• Treating Commons as a reason to quit collecting.
• Skipping Updates and farming outdated targets.

How this list stays honest

We only assert the Mythic 0.1% figure because the game advertises it. Other bands are ranked by relative scarcity and collection value, not invented percentages. When the developer changes the potato count, dish count, or odds, update this page the same day you update the hub.
