Stardew Valley Trinkets Guide: Every Trinket, Effects, & How to Get Them

Introduced in Update 1.6, Trinkets in Stardew Valley are new equipable clothing providing unique benefits to their wearers. These advantageous effects remain active until the user removes the accessory. With that, here’s what you should know about these new items.

All Trinkets in Stardew Valley & How to Get Them

Eight Trinkets exist in Stardew Valley at the time of writing. Most of these accessories can be acquired by defeating monsters or opening containers in certain areas, except one. In particular, only the Magic Hair Gel Trinket doesn’t drop from monsters or appear in chests but can only be bought at Alex’s Shop for 100x Calico Eggs during the Desert Festival. Apart from the Magic Hair Gel, the remaining seven Stardew Valley Trinkets may drop from any monster in the game, albeit with very low rates. Trinkets may also appear from breaking barrels and crates in and around Stardew Valley, but, again, with low rates. Additionally, these accessories can also appear from opening chests in the Treasure Rooms in Skull Cavern. The chances of getting Trinkets from these special rooms increase as you go further down the cavern. Note that various factors can help improve the chances of getting these accessories. These include Lucky Days, enemy type, and location. Below are all the Trinkets, along with their effects, you can currently get in Stardew Valley:

• Basilisk Paw: Immune to debuffs
• Fairy Box: Summons a fairy companion that can heal the player in intervals
• Frog Egg: Summons a frog companion that can consume nearby enemies
• Gold Spur: Temporarily buffs the player’s movement speed upon landing a critical hit
• Ice Rod: Shoots an ice orb in intervals that can temporarily freeze enemies
• Magic Hair Gel: The player’s hair shimmers with all the colors of a Prismatic Shard
• Magic Quiver: Frequently shoots a magic arrow at nearby enemies
• Parrot Egg: Summons a parrot companion that lets players farm gold coins when defeating monsters

Note: The stats of each Trinket, except for the Magic Hair Gel and Basilisk Paw, can be re-rolled at the Anvil using 3x Iridium Bar.

How to Equip Trinkets in Stardew Valley

First, players must unlock Combat Mastery in the Mastery Cave. Note that you must have Level 10 in all five skills to unlock this location. Then, claim Combat Mastery from the Mastery Cave once you gain enough Mastery Points. Doing so should unlock the Trinket equipment slot in your inventory.
