There is a lot of mystery surrounding rares on this server. There is no definite way of determing exactly when a rare will spawn, but there are certainly ways of narrowing it down immensely and not wasting your time, effort, and resources in search of the illusive Rares. In this guide I will detail some tips and pointers to help everyone be able to hunt rares. At the very least, everyone will be on the same playing field. What you do with this knowledge and information is up to you.
The Basics:
All rares on this server have a window. There are semi-rares that spawn daily, like the Dirty Pots/Pans, although not all of the Dirty Pot/Pans spawns are semi-rare spawns. A couple of them are low-end rare spawns that will be detailed later.
Rares on this server have a "window" in which they spawn in. Say a particular rare's "window" is 5-8 days. You were lucky enough to be the last person to "fetch" this rare. So you know that for the next 4 days, this particular rare has zero chance of spawning again. The 5th day is the first day that it has a chance of spawning again and will spawn sometime between the 5th day and the 8th day. This is important knowledge as it will save you wasted time, effort, resources, and frustration. Granted, you have to "fetch" that first one to make this all work.
That will require a bit of camping on your part. Since AFK Reagent Buying is legal, so is AFK Rare Camping. This means that you can camp rares to your heart's content. Unfortunately, this means you are AFK and subject to player justice. Unlike the AFK Reagent Buyers, there is a high probabitlity of someone killing you if they find you. Beware!
Luckily for you, most macros will still "trigger" when you are dead, but if you are dead you are not grabbing anything. This is where the attended part comes in, unfortunately, if you are wanting to get the rare. You've gotta keep an eye on them every now and then or you'll miss the actual rare if you're always dead. You can put in Screenshots in the macros, though.
With razor you can have it take a screenshot as soon as your player "triggers" on a rare. What good is a screenshot? Its a lot of good.
The razor screenshots are timestamped. So, even if you are not physically there and you are dead, you will still get the timestamp of the rare spawn. This lets you know when to look for the rare when its window is up again, and this will save you lots of time. Time is money! $$$$$I will go into further detail on Razor Macros at the end of this guide.
Alrighty, the information you're all dying to know!

Now that you've got some idea on how rares spawn, you need to setup Razor to Scavenge them when you zip on in. This will help you with camping rares, and with doing rounds checking the rares spots in general. Less clicking on your part.
The Scavenger Agent:
This is the trick to most of the "fetch" macros. You have to add all of the rares that you are hunting to your Scavenger Agent. Make sure you get each variation of the rares, too. Otherwise, you'll be missing spawns and wasting your time. One of the tricks with the Scavenger Agent is to pause next to the rare with your macro and do a Clear Scavenger Cache. This will ensure that your Cache is clear. Then you take a step and it will freshly try to scavenge whatever is available to be scavenged. This is not necessary for all rares, but it depends on how close you are to the item when it spawns. Typically being on the edge of the screen or sligihtly off-screen is safe.
The Organizer Agent:
This is how the Fetch macro safely banks your rare pixels! Make sure you add all the rares in your scavenger to your organizer agent. Then setup a bag in your bank box to organize all the rares into.

You then have an IF System Message "No item" statement that does absolutely nothing except perhaps a pause. You then have an Else Statement to catch the opposite of "No item". When the Else statement is reached, it means that the rare has been seen. So when it drops into the Else Statement, it calls the Fetch Macro. Now we get to actually grabbing some rares!!!

Its as simple as that!
Now, there are some rares spawns ( Like Cards ) that have multiple types of identical items in the same area of the rare spawn. This causes the macros to Trigger constantly! Oh no's! Well, luckily, there's some Razor goodness for this, too.
