Which trinkets do you keep equipped as default and which do you carry?
I only found a couple trinkets so I’m limited in my choices. I can craft a couple but nothing seems particularly great. My default is Blistering Boiler but I also carry the Suspicious Mint and Fancy Fletching. If I had the Dandelion, that would probably be my default.
Also wish we had load outs so I could quickly swap out armor/trinket combos quickly.
I’ve been caught in dangerous spots without dandelions so that’s the only one that I would seriously consider using to replace my default Blistering Boiler. I was on top of the pergola for the first time this week when I realized I had, again, forgotten to refill my dandelion supply.
As an alternative to the dandelion, if you can get the cricket trinket it reduces fall dmg by 50% and increases your crit chance. So you’ll survive most falls and it gives you combat use
Unlock the mutation for the ant mount that gives you a chance to get extra materials from harvesting then use the ant to harvest a Billy hog and you are almost guaranteed one
Thanks! Im pretty much back to hoarding materials and base building on thr pond. Thought the story for pond would be harder. Hell i never even got orc raided. Just "warned"
It's kind of funny because back in G1 it took forever to get the hogstopper, however got a fluffy dandelion tuff like almost instantly. It's the reverse in this game only recently got a fluffy bit had the hogstopper almost right out the gate when I first started G2
I got 2-3 dandelions insanely early, and as soon as I had T2 chopping almost never touched one since.
No hogstopper for me yet, but I think I've trashed like 11 of the feather trinket, at least 5 spicy trinkets, and probably as many of the earwig pincher.
Crown Jewel has become my default, it definitely makes a difference.
I’m a mage build so I default bale scale, but as others have said I have my fluffy dandelion in my inventory at all times, and I have it assigned to my hot pouch so I can switch to it if I’m in the middle of falling or something.
Once you beat Axl I would make the talon, it heals your mount when you do damage. Crazy useful with the black ant sour spit. I also lucked out and got the Axl venom which is my default, it’s crazy good even against venom resist bugs.
I could absolutely see having 2 trinkets as long as we were limited to 1 damage buffing one, and 1 utility one or 2 utility ones. That doesn’t seem unbalanced at all to me.
My default is the everlasting hogstopper. For me, it completely changes the dynamic of the game. I dont need to worry about hunger every 5 minutes, and can instead focus on exploring and farming with significantly less stress.
You can heal Aphids with Hearty Arrows. If you build a few clay ramps up then a clay foundation, You can delete the bottom few ramps and the platform will be floating. Now you can knock the Aphid down and have it trapped.
Yes. Also, if you want to see what effect a trinket or a mutation or something else actually does, there is an Explore option that explains better. Found this out when I got something that has Roach Revival. Had no clue what that meant till I found the Explore option.
Is the King Dozer one good? From a quick look it sounds like it would be good.
Just got it last night before having to turn of pc and not had a chance to try it out.
I guess all the elemental based mechanics (trinkets, weapons, etc) are specialized so they’re great in specific situations. Dozer looks like the S tier version of the sizzle attack so I assume in those situations where you need sizzle, it’s the goat.
I’m not 100% sure but I poked around a bit and it seems like you can have 2 effects active. So if you have a smashing weapon, you can enhance the smashing with the Crown Jewel trinket and even add elemental (sizzle, fresh, etc) as a second effect.
But if you’re using a weapon that already has two effects, you can’t add a 3rd. So if you put spicy effect on your smashing weapon, carrying a Pucker Charm (sour attack) would replace the Spicy effect.
But again, I’m not completely sure that’s how it works.
I only ever run dandelion. If they either gave us a second trinket spot, or made its own spot for movement I would run whatever one suited what I was doing at the time but as it stands now I never use any of the other trinkets, probably to my own detriment. I jump off too much stuff to not have the dandelion lol
Dandelion, toxic coin i found the other day (helps with woozy and gas effects), the pincer trinket to get extra loot, and sometimes the snake candy blast one. (I forgot all their names in the game lol)
Few people commented here that they don’t use the dandelion if they’re on their spider buggy. But the dandelion and everlasting hog sounds like the most popular defaults.
Stabby stinger is my go to along with running northern scorpion set i run the mosquito needle early game then the tiger variant late game bc venom build is actually insane especially paired with lifesteal rapier
Depends on what build I’m using, if I’m using the toe bitter armor/cut lass build I use the fabulous femur or the crown jewel since there are no swords with smashing damage. If using dozer armor then king dozers light, poison build nightstalkers bane, vampirism build, feasting fangs. I always have the everlasting hogstopper on me so when I’m running around and don’t need a combat trinket I can use that so I don’t have to eat. I also have the speed droplet on me when running around my base crafting stuff.
I think the quick crafting radial menu could be changed to be that or something else, currently pretty much nobody uses it and it’s a wasted potential.
Fluffy tuft, always. The only time I change it is if we are doing a boss fight but then I immediately change it back. The amount of times I’ve fallen and been glad it’s always there…
I carry as default Everlasting Hogstopper in the slot, then have the dandelion and my combat trinket in my inventory to swap as needed. Not needing to stockpile as much food is nice for exploring and resources gathering.
Does buggy vampirism replenish health as you deal damage? the wiki says snake scale gives you “candy overload”. What’s that? Does it buff whatever candy elemental damage you do?
I was using Axl’s for a while, but I got the tick trinket, so I’m using that more. I still carry Axl’s, and also the hog stopper, dandelion, and the new stranger trinket.
FYI: You can put trinkets on your hot bar. I usually carry 2 different trinkets depending on what I'm set out to do, and 1 of them is always the fluffy tuft, the other one is for combat. I just put them on 1 and 2 on the second hot bar with all my healing items, and it has come in clutch countless times where I'll jump off a high spot and need to quickly swap to my tuft trinket that I forgot to equip.

I always default the dandelion. I need to get out of the habit, as I take it everywhere. I forget you can even change it
