A trinket and an amulet are two different types of small objects that are often worn as accessories or carried for various purposes. While both can be considered as pieces of jewelry, they hold different meanings and significance. Firstly, a trinket is usually an ornamental object that is appreciated for its aesthetic value. Trinkets are often small and decorative, such as charms, pendants, or small figurines. They are usually made from inexpensive materials like plastic, glass, or fabric and are designed to be visually appealing. Trinkets are commonly worn as fashion accessories or used to personalize items like keychains or bags.
Ancestral trinkets, enemy trinkets (Madman, Collector, and Trophy ), and some Very Rare trinkets (particularly those from DLCs) are all unique. Once you own one, you cannot find a duplicate. If a Trophy (or a Talisman of the Flame) is lost, it will automatically reappear in the inventory the next week. If any other unique trinket is sold or discarded from the inventory, it must be found again from the same source.
It just makes no sense to me that you have to extremely lucky to find a trinket in the first place, then even more lucky for it to have good stats on it that benefit you when you identify it or when you use a flux with it. Trinkets are equippable items that are commonly obtained while adventuring in the dungeons, earned as rewards from quests, or bought at the Nomad Wagon.
Trinkets are commonly worn as fashion accessories or used to personalize items like keychains or bags. They may hold sentimental value or be gifted as souvenirs or mementos. However, trinkets are not typically believed to possess any special powers or mystical qualities.
Trinkets
Trinkets are equippable items that are commonly obtained while adventuring in the dungeons, earned as rewards from quests, or bought at the Nomad Wagon. Certain trinkets are earned by defeating specific enemies. Each hero is able to carry up to two different trinkets at a time. If a hero dies, their trinkets can be scavenged if the player perseveres and wins the battle. Fleeing a battle will not give such an opportunity. The trinkets confer stat bonuses and penalties when worn, and it is up to the player to use them to their full effect.
Trinkets have different rarities, which are denoted in game by color and description. A trinket is given as a reward for completing each expedition, starting at Common for short Apprentice dungeons and increasing one level of rarity for each additional difficulty or length (up to Ancestral for long Champion dungeons). Boss-slaying expeditions always have a Very Rare trinket as a reward regardless of difficulty.
Some trinkets can be found as a quest reward for only a specific region. These can still be bought from the Nomad Wagon.
Some unique trinkets can only be found by killing specific enemies. Madmen will very rarely drop music boxes, and The Collector miniboss will sometimes drop powerful head-based trinkets (though these can also be found in Secret Rooms). Defeating the Champion version of any of the 8 bosses (from the 4 normal regions) also awards a Trophy trinket exclusive to that boss.
Ancestral trinkets, enemy trinkets (Madman, Collector, and Trophy ), and some Very Rare trinkets (particularly those from DLCs) are all unique. Once you own one, you cannot find a duplicate. If a Trophy (or a Talisman of the Flame) is lost, it will automatically reappear in the inventory the next week. If any other unique trinket is sold or discarded from the inventory, it must be found again from the same source.
If you have lost (not sold/discarded) at least eight trinkets throughout your playthrough, a special quest named Shrieker's Perch will become available on the Estate map. This is a regular encounter with the Shrieker that rewards eight of your lost trinkets upon completion. Certain unique trinkets, like Ancestral trinkets, can only be recovered this way if lost.
Two trinkets, the Stone of Patience and the Stone of Endurance, are currently exclusive to the PS4 and VITA versions of the game.
On the other hand, an amulet is a small object believed to have magical or protective powers. Amulets are often worn as a form of spiritual or supernatural protection against harm or evil spirits. They are thought to possess special properties or energies that can bring luck, ward off negative influences, or provide spiritual guidance. Amulets can take various forms, such as talismans, religious symbols, or gemstones. They are typically made from durable materials and are believed to carry specific meanings or properties depending on the cultural or religious beliefs associated with them. While trinkets are mainly valued for their aesthetics or sentimental value, amulets are believed to possess certain powers or energies that can impact the wearer's life or provide spiritual protection. The choice between a trinket and an amulet often depends on an individual's personal beliefs, cultural background, or specific intentions. Some people may choose to wear both as a combination of decorative and protective elements. In conclusion, trinkets and amulets are small objects that are worn or carried for their different purposes. Trinkets are primarily appreciated for their visual appeal or sentimental value, while amulets are believed to possess magical or protective qualities. Both have their own significance and meaning, and the choice between the two often depends on personal beliefs and intentions..
