XM1014 | Elegant Vines (Minimal Wear)

The XM1014 | Elegant Vines (Minimal Wear, MW) is a Restricted shotgun finish carrying a red and green floral pattern. Minimal Wear keeps the vine artwork almost pristine, with only faint wear surfacing under close inspection.

Design

Created by Valve, the finish covers the shotgun in a red and green flower pattern — a decorative, garden-like look rather than anything military. Its in-game line sets the tone with a bit of humor: "Some see a nuisance; I see beauty."

XM1014 | Elegant Vines (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

On the 0.00–0.37 float scale, Minimal Wear sits just above Factory New (FN). The floral detail stays crisp and the red-and-green palette keeps nearly all its richness, with wear limited to a touch of edge fading. It reads a whisker off the top grade for a slightly lower outlay.

XM1014 | Elegant Vines Rarity

Rarity: Restricted. That's the pink tier, ranking above the more common blue and purple grades and placing the skin in the upper stretch of the standard finish hierarchy — a genuinely uncommon grade to unbox.

XM1014 | Elegant Vines Case and Collection

The skin belongs to The 2021 Mirage Collection, introduced with Operation Riptide in September 2021. Restricted is an uncommon tier in that collection, which players obtain through in-game drops and trade-up contracts instead of a weapon case, so copies trade on the market.

XM1014 | Elegant Vines Patterns

There's no random pattern roll on this finish — the red-and-green flowers are placed the same on every copy, meaning no paint seed or "blue gem" is worth hunting. The floral art always lands identically; only wear and float distinguish one shotgun from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak edition was never made: the counter is added only when a finish launches inside a weapon case, and this one debuted as a collection skin instead. A Souvenir version does exist, however — it first appeared in the Stockholm 2021 Mirage Souvenir Package, and further copies were handed out at later Major souvenir packages.

XM1014 | Elegant Vines Price

Minimal Wear sits a rung below Factory New while still looking nearly as vivid, which often makes it the value-conscious choice among the top grades. Either way, this is a premium XM1014 finish thanks to the artwork and Restricted rarity. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear a good value over Factory New?

Often, yes. The floral pattern and its red-and-green tones look nearly identical to Factory New from a normal viewing distance, and Minimal Wear costs a bit less. Choose Factory New only if you want the absolute top condition; otherwise this grade gives you almost the same look for the money.

Does the floral detail hold up at Minimal Wear?

Yes. Minimal Wear adds only slight edge fading, so the red-and-green flowers keep their definition and color depth. The vine pattern is the whole appeal of this finish, and at this grade it stays vivid enough that most buyers can't tell it apart from Factory New at a glance.

What collection is Elegant Vines from?

It's part of The 2021 Mirage Collection, which launched with Operation Riptide in September 2021. As a Restricted entry it's an uncommon tier in that set, obtained through drops and trade-up contracts rather than unboxed from a case — and it also exists as a Souvenir finish from Major packages.
