A Collector's Guide to Trinkets & Miscellany..

Hi guys

Firstly, this is a rough work in progress. I own most a few of the trinks, and finding the stats* online about these trinkets has been a bare cupboard pantomime. So bear with me and if you have ANY info make sure to share! I will definitely add if I can test said trinket or see the effect work on YT. I also don't want to cover pure stat booster trinkets, the might + precs ones. The focus here is more on the mysterious ones; as stat booster trinks do exactly what they say on the tin :)

Firstly we have no extra stat trinks.

GUISE TRINKETS

All have no extra stat abilities, and do not have any CC (crowd control) abilities. they are for the purpose of fun only. :)

Clown Nose
Location: Vault Drop
Purpose: Guise in the form of mangled clown.
Timer : Toggle
Non Gender Specific. Always Male.

Demon Figurine
Location: Vault Drop
Purpose: Guise in the form of a Demon.
Timer : Toggle
Male is the form of a Greed Demon and Female a Lust Demon.
Gender Specific. Both Male & Female.

Lion Tooth Juju
Location: Vault Drop
Purpose: Guise in the form of a lion bestiamorph.
Timer : Toggle
Non Gender Specific. Always Male.

Manhunter Circuitry
Location: Vault Drop
Purpose: Guise in the form of a Manhunter.

Sinister Clockwork Key
Location: Vault Drop
Purpose: Guise in the form of a Sinister Toy*.
Timer : Toggle
Gender Specific. Both Male & Female.
*Notes: This trinket can disable the disadvantage of having a large body type for races (flight). and enable the agility (not speed, as it is the same) of small body types. races are disabled in the form, however you are able to use the trinket during the countdown.


OFFENSIVE TRINKETS

There are more than the listed offensive trinks, however the vast majority of them were special order; only for launch. please see here under 'Weapons'.

Croatoan's Talisman & Subs.
Location: Halloween Seasonal Vendor.
Timer: Unique
Knockback attack. scaled cr attacks/ignores defense to create the same attack value (i don't know which one it is).Gives black sorcery soul aura. can be increased iirc 4 times.

Suggested Notes: This was the trink i was struggling to find the info on. I had theories but had no idea if it was true or environmental or?..
I think there is a random chance to evade all damage in higher aura states.
I think there is a chance for increased movement speed upon activation.
For Sorcery DPS, I have seen (or imagined) Fury hotly target a black cursed enemy, before a normal cursed one.


Update: Observed; random chance of increased movement speed for Fury upon activation. 30s. each activation tier seems to have a chance of granting.

Dance-a-ma-jig
Location: St. Patrick's Day Seasonal Vendor.
Timer: Unique
very strong CC effect, making all enemies dance in the radius. + 5s.

Fighter's Compartment Trinket and subs.
Location: Central City vendor.
Timer: Unique
transforms the player with a suit similar to the Flash. enables non-scaled buffs of 343 for might and 390 for precision.

enables trinket ability:
Trinket + long press melee = shield.
Trinket + long press range = power regen. (controller only)
Trinket + tap melee = small heal.
Trinket + tap range = hand blasters.
Trinket + DoT + long press range = extended tick damage.

Form: Snowman
Location : Vault Drop.
Timer: Guise
Transforms the player into a Snowman having unique powers and new weapon. does not scale with cr. does not buff. player loses stats, at cr149 I lost 398 precs and 353 might. observed: increased critical chance.

Phantom Zone Kryptonite Chunk
Location: Vault Drop.
Timer: Guise
Changes appearance, weapon (brawling) and abilities. crits seem to scale with cr.
Has three new power moves. Heat Vision, Freezing Breath and Ground Stomp.
after further study, i didn't receive any buffs with or without powermoves.

Notes : known as the rarest trinket in DCUO. in my opinion it's sadly a bit dated now, and could do with an update to granting a full tray set of kryptonian powers and a toggle timer. Defense buff or while in sunlight slight power regen would be nice too.


OMAC Nanite Circuitry
Location: Vault Drop.
Timer : Guise
Often grants all available buffs. lessen the impact of being healer or controller class and evens out the defence, making you like a tank class (no matter the role). Health scales with cr, e.g at cr 149 I gain 1417hp and 750 Toughness.

Notes: ^This imho as a collector. is *thee* best trink in the game. it makes your survivability somewhat tank class like, while granting many or all buffs. I have been hard light since launch*, and until recently HL DPS was *very very* broken, I still think while my damage is somewhat fixed, my defence is strangely under powered, like it doesn't work fully or correctly..if it wasn't for the above trinket, my cr would've been much much lower. it 'corrects' the fault i have on HL and with weaker support class powers in DPS role. when I use it on Zigma my Earth DPS, i feel invincible :D

PET TRINKETS

Mister Boo & Subs
Location: Halloween Event Drop, Halloween Vendor.
Timer: Pet
Mental powerset pet. can teleport to enemies. uses SC to create a bastion if taken too much damage. There is an obtainable special Utility Belt*, in which Mister Boo, Ms Boo, Boo Junior and Baby Boo can be placed and activated all at once.

*Boo-tility Belt, item level 66; Klarion Halloween Event Drop.

Four-Leaf Clover
Location : St. Patrick's Day Vendor.
Timer: Pet
Summons a leprechaun pet*. does instant massive damage. ignores defense. attack scales with cr; in duels, did 2 x 2000 + damage.

*there are mixed reports of this trinket working and not working. perhaps it seems some chars have working ones some do not. I am one of the people who has a not working one. so the above report is based on information reported on these forums from other members. for me he does nothing, and never has. update : used against me in a duel.


Sunken Rune & Subs
Location : Summertime Seasonal Vendor.
Timer : Pet
Summons deep sea pet. each role specific pet can perform each role. scales with cr.

Notes: imho great little support pet. doesn't do great damage. but I often use the controller vers. on my healer so he will PoT me.the Tank version is OK too. if Raiding the more people who have the controller vers. the more that can be PoT'd as it's only on the pet's owner.

Spooky Jack & Subs.
Location: Halloween Vendor.
Timer: Pet
summons a pumpkin pet. projects goo spray and fires fireballs. 4 role specific pets*.

Notes: Spooky Jack Troller, Scary Jack Tank, Creepy Jack Healer, Eerie Jack DPS. personally I found Spooky great for tanking, his AI gets right in the enemy's face, handy when in controller role. Eerie seems to often stand still and range attack with fireballs. Scary does a decent job tanking, but his AI isn't as 'in your face' as Spooky. Creepy's AI is like Spooky's.

Servo & Subs
Location : Special DB Gift (Dec 2012/13/15)
Timer : Pet
Summons security bot from the 25th century. comic dialogue. scales with cr. attacks with laser shot while telling jokes. + 5% health buff, 30s.

Notes: much like Blossom very effective in battle, but without the Heal. Comedy: When TOMBOT talked about the exo prices on broker first time we were in ICW.. i was in tears laughing! : ' D and when Servo says 'get him away from me!! .. *composes self* I mean 'Damage Sustained'. oh man comedy gold! :D

Blossom & Subs
Location: Springtime Seasonal Vendor; Seed; Vault Drop.
Timer : Pet
Summons Spore pet. each time Blossom fires a seed she slightly heals the group, and upon death she explodes for AOE Heal for the group. scales with cr. high damage attacks and often critical attacks.

Notes: ^ This, in my humble opinion as a collector is *thee* best pet trinket, Blossom is both support and dps in one pet. Her high damage combined with a HoT like effect upon firing seeds and AOE upon death makes her the essential pet trink for collectors. good for healers tanks controllers dps.. the all round pet you *should* own ^^

Strategies

A few thoughts..

When leveling an alt and having the opportunity for a item level 66 seasonal trink, I say grab it! it will boost your cr when you hit 30, and you won't have to buy a utility belt so soon. lvl 78 gold rings and neck with a trink with a 66 item level, should get you to T1 (cr43) so you can farm sub-avatar to get to T2 (cr53), without having to spend marks or empty your main's cash into the broker for epics.

Raiding.. I ALWAYS have Blossom in all my Raid suit armories. even just in my tank, amazing! Blossom is the essential raiding pet imho. She is not afraid of getting in the bosses face too, which can HoT help the tank.. but i understand each tank has a preference as to pets; so please respect. when tanking I don't mind them as i usually can draw the aggro out. only a few times they out-aggro'd me (Ras in DP alert).

Pet Strategies

I have a new strategy im trying out, Lair Back-up max with Grand Summon on my Soc DPS, if I had the boo-tility belt and 3 boo's.. I could do what I call 'ONE MAN ARMY' Strategy. I recently (last night) started using extended supercharge white mod. happy so far :)
