'''Maractite''' (sometimes '''maracite''') is a mineral that can move as effortlessly through water as though it was air. This gives it enormous tactical value, and in [[New Maraqua]] is used for weapons, armour, and construction materials.

The fourth chapter of Curse of Maraqua plot suggests that supplies of the substance are running thin. The description for the ''Maracite Shell Shield'' explains that the cost of the mineral is offset in larger objects by blending it with other materials.

==Name==
While the spelling ''maractite'' seems to be the most common, used across the site, the spelling ''maracite'' is used occasionally, in the item names and descriptions of ''Maracite Shell Shield'' and ''Glowing Maracite Wand''. A possible explanation is that ''maractite'' refers to the mineral in its pure form, and ''maracite'' is used when the mineral is blended with other materials.

Maractite's ability to move through water efficiently while being "harder than steel", as [[Garin]] described it in chapter 7 of the Curse of Maraqua Plot, made it of great tactical advantage. [[Swordmaster Talek]] believed it could be use to defend the city from virtually any attack. However, Maractite [http://neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=7&id=107 slowly decays] when exposed to air.

There is a store in New Maraqua, [[Maractite Marvels]], that sells certain maractite weapons, but there are others available as war prizes in the Curse of Maraqua Plot, and some used exclusively by the Maraquan soldiers in the war. There are also some weapons that only appear as [[Neopets Trading Card Game|trading cards]].
