I was looking into making a mask of truesight. So basically while you wear the mask the player has truesight. But I was wondering if the rarity would be rare, like the gem of true seeing, or very rare or legendary. Also I was thinking the mask didnt need to be attuned to, considering the mask has to be worn to work and doesnt seem to me like its needed. But one could make the argument it would need to be attuned to to give the player the sight. This is where I'd like other options.
I would say truesight should always require attunment. As for rarety, that depends on duration and other restrictions.
The gem of seeing can give truesight for 10-30 minutes a day, and requires an action every 10 minutes and a free hand. Making it wearable is an upgrade, but maybe not quite enough to go up a rarity for just that.
Plenty of magic items need to be attuned to even if you also need to wear it. Attunement is largely about limiting potential power. If it's okay if ever single player has it without any limitation then it doesn't need Attunement. Truesight is the most powerful sight in the game, it sounds like it needs to be limited; it sounds like it should require attunement. If the mask gives truesight infinitely, then it's a legendary item.
