Necesse Trinkets — All 111 Listed, Best Picks by Class
Trinkets are equippable items that passively boost your character (or grant an active ability). You start with 4 trinket slots + 1 ability slot and can unlock up to 8 total trinket slots. With 111 trinkets in the game, this guide lists every one of them — with real effects and where to get each.
All 111 trinkets verified against necessewiki.com/Trinkets and each trinket's wiki page. Game version: Necesse 1.3.
How Trinket Slots Work
- You begin with 4 trinket slots and 1 ability trinket slot.
- Ability trinkets are triggered with SPACE (default key) — shields, sprint boots, blink staffs.
- Slots are unlocked permanently by one-time consumables:
| Slot Unlock Item | Effect | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Empty Pendant | Slots 4 → 5 | Drops from Void Wizard |
| Pirate Sheath | Slots → 6 | Drops from Pirate Captain |
| Wizard Socket | Slots → 7 | Drops from Fallen Wizard |
| Wormhole Locket | Slots → 8 | Settlement quest reward for completing a Tier 5+ Incursion |
Using a later item early jumps you straight to that slot count and makes the earlier unlock items unusable.
