Trinkets

General Mechanics
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 will be lost, but added to the loot at the end of the battle. 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, it starts at Common for short Apprentice dungeons and increase one level of rarity for each additional difficulty or length rank (up to Ancestral for long Champion dungeons). Boss-slaying expeditions always have a Very Rare trinket as a reward.

Trinkets can be sold in the hamlet from the Trinket Inventory by holding shift and clicking on them. Sell values for trinkets are as follows:
 * (very) Common 750
 * Common 1125
 * Uncommon 1500
 * Rare 2250
 * Very Rare 3750 (2250 for Collector and Madman trinkets)
 * Shrieker cannot be sold
 * Ancestral 7500
 * Crimson Court 7500
 * Darkest Dungeon cannot be sold
 * Trophy cannot be sold
 * Backer 1 (except the Crest of the 1100 which cannot be sold), these trinkets can be claimed.

Some Trinkets can only be found as a quest reward for winning in a specific area (this is called the origin dungeon).

Some special trinkets are not found randomly, but by killing some specific enemies. The music boxes are very rarely found by defeating a Madman and the heads are occasionally found by defeating The Collector miniboss (or in secret rooms, since they give the same loot). Defeating the Champion version of one of the 8 bosses (from the 4 normal regions) also awards a Trophy trinket exclusive to that boss.

As of the Radiant Update, there is a new quest boss, the Horrid Shrieker that can be completed to get unique trinkets.

Ancestral trinkets and those obtained by killing specific enemies (Madman, Collector, and Trophies) are unique. Once you own one of them, 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 another unique trinket is lost, it must be found again by killing the right enemy. Two trinkets are currently exclusive to the PS4 and VITA versions of the game: the Stone of Patience and the Stone of Endurance.


 * The lists below are organized first by rarity, then alphabetically.

Normal Trinkets List
There are two types of Generic Trinkets; Generic and Hero specific. The player can have as many of these Trinkets in their inventory as they'd like.

Generic Trinkets
Generic Trinkets can be equipped by any hero.

Hero Trinkets
Hero Trinkets can only be equipped by the specific hero listed on the trinket. Each hero has 1 rare trinket and 1 very rare trinket. They also either have 2-3 common trinkets and 1 uncommon trinket or 1 common trinket and 2 uncommon trinket.

Unique Trinkets
The second type of Trinkets are Unique Trinkets. The player can only have one of each of the following trinkets in their inventory at once.

Enemy Trinkets
These Trinkets are mainly only dropped after defeating certain rare and/or powerful enemies. The only exception is The Collector's heads, which can also be found within Secret Rooms.

The Ancestor's Trinkets
While he was alive, the Ancestor had several powerful items that have since been scattered across the land. These items are powerful, and any hero who wields them might hold that power. However, the weight of the Ancestor's horrible actions still clings to these artifacts, and any hero holding them will feel that sinister energy upon themselves...

Trophies
Trophies are unique Trinkets that are only offered as quest rewards when defeating the highest level of a boss encounter. They mostly only offer positive bonuses with no penalties.

Shrieker Trinkets
The Radiant Update added a monster known as The Shrieker. It spawns from certain town events, one of which is called "Shrieker's Prize." Each time you complete this quest, you are awarded one of these trinkets.

Trinket Sets
The Crimson Court DLC added special Trinket Sets, two for each hero. They confer powerful bonuses to the hero equipped with them and having both equipped at once yields an additional bonus, which is shown greyed out at the bottom. The origin dungeon for all Trinket Sets is the Courtyard and they all have the rarity Crimson Court.

Special
These are special trinkets that have special properties that make them more unique than other trinkets. They include trinkets only found when the game begins, the Tailsman of the Flame, and the Musketeer's Trinkets

The Musketeer's Trinkets
The Musketeer was available as a reward for the "AVENTURER" Donor Tier during the game's Kickstarter campaign, and is no longer available. The Musketeer herself is a reskin of the Arbalest, and her trinkets mimic the Arbalest's. All of her trinkets offers the same bonuses as the Arbalest's does.

The Crimson Court DLC also added a Trinket Set for the Musketeer, which give her an extra bonus if both are equipped. The origin dungeon for Trinket Sets is the Courtyard and they all have the rarity Crimson Court.

History
A new subset of ancestral items were introduced in the Fiends & Frenzy update, Ancestor's trinkets. Ancestral trinkets not belonging to the Ancestor Set were later reclassified as Very Rare trinkets. The Inhuman Bondage update added a new subset of trinkets that can be found by defeating the new enemies (Madman and The Collector). With the full release of the game, Trophy Trinkets were introduced.

With the release of the PS4 and VITA ports of the game, 5 new trinkets were added to the console versions. Two of which, the Stone of Endurance and Stone of Patience, are currently available upon starting up a new game. The other three are very rarely dropped by champion level enemies.

With the release of the DLC "The Crimson Court", Trinket Sets and Sets bonuses were introduced to the game, alongside plenty of new Very Rare quality trinkets and rebalancing of old trinkets' effect and rarity.

Unused Trinkets
There is few unused trinkets in the game folders with unknown uses.
