Raft is a popular survival game that challenges players to survive on a deserted oceanic expanse while building a raft and battling against hunger, thirst, and sharks. But Raft is more than just a survival game. It offers an exciting opportunity to decorate your raft with rare decorations. You can get most of these items by fishing or treasure hunting. In this article, we will explore the top 10 rare decoration items in Raft and how to get them.
