Trinkets

“Is junk, I think.”

–Wolfgang

Trinkets are a group of Items that can be found by digging up Graves using a Shovel, by opening Tumbleweeds, or through other means. Digging up a grave causes a Sanity loss of 10 points.

The only use for Trinkets is to be traded to the Pig King in exchange for Gold Nuggets. Otherwise, some players like to use certain trinkets as decoration.

Ball and Cup The Ball and Cup has a 4.17% chance of being found when digging up a grave. A Cup-and-ball refers to a traditional children's toy where the player tried to catch the ball, which has a small cup, or hole, via the toy's handle. It can be traded to the Pig King for 4 Gold Nuggets, but it cannot be used in any crafting recipes. This Trinket is known as trinket_7 in the game files and can be DebugSpawned using that name. ×4 ×6

Dessicated Tentacle The Desiccated Tentacle has a 4.17% chance of being found when digging up a grave.

Trivia

• Under the old research method, Trinkets were one of the best ways of gaining research points (80 points).
• The reason these items are known as "trinkets" is due to their file names (trinket1, trinket2 etc.).
• One True Earring, based on the name and offering the highest appeasement to the Volcano Altar of Snackrifice, may be a reference to The Lord of the Rings, where the evil could only be vanquished by casting the One Ring into Mount Doom.
• The Potato Cup is a reference to ex-developer Seth. During a Rhymes With Play stream, Seth told the story of how he carved out a potato to drink water while he was in boy scouts. Since then, it grew into an inside joke among players and eventually became a trinket.
