Ranking every trinket from worst to best (Stardew Valley 1.6)

[@gray-days-clear]

I personally prefer the Ice Rod to the Magic Quiver. It's super irritating to be running after a ghost or something, trying to hit it with my sword, while the quiver knocks it back while only doing a bit of damage lol. Whereas the Ice Rod just freezes enemies in place so I can deal with them when I want to. But yeah that's just my opinion :) Great video!!

i just achieved perfection on my first save, and i used the magic hair gel for fun after a good skull cavern run, but otherwise used the fairy a bunch because it made any mines runs 100x easier, i agree with the tier list though well done.

[@GuidingPixels]

Congrats on earning perfection! 🥳 and thank you!

I think the Basilisk Paw is underrated. There are a lot of status effects that you might not normally think about but weaken your character and might cause you to take a burst of damage when you weren't expecting it. I got the magic quiver first, and while I liked it at first, it was annoying how it knocks back enemies. I tried out the Basilisk Paw and was surprised how much I liked it and how much easier it made the dangerous versions of the mines/skull cavern. It doesn't stand out in an obvious way, but its effect is very good. I've been running it as my go to trinket. I just don't find money to be the bottleneck at that point in the game, so I would personally rate the parrot much lower. I really need to play around with the Ice Rod. I dismissed it at first, but it seems really strong on reflection. It seems like it would be especially good with the hammer special attack. I have a feeling it might be S tier. The rest of the list seems pretty good. The Void Frog is F tier, as that jerk refuses to come to me. I've spent hundreds of Iridium re-rolling the egg, gotten multiple of every other type, including multiple prismatic frogs, but never once has the void frog appeared.

Fairy is useful on the Mr. Qi to reach the 100 floor of the skull cavern without eating.

[@GuidingPixels]

@@sergiodosreis3235 I didn’t even think about that!

[@somerandomcreep]

Ice Rod is S tier for the fact it can freeze the most dangerous of enemies. I think the arrows could use a buff in damage.

[@_Podzilla_]

Fun Fact: The Magic Quiver also targets the Rock Crabs :] (When it's in its hidden form)

[@GuidingPixels]

@@_Podzilla_ oh I didn’t even notice that!

[@rrudeljr]

Nice.

[@BlueFlameFK]

same with the ice rod!

[@freyaguppy]

I think the frog egg was the first trinket I found and was pretty much the only one I used until I found a level 4 parrot and realized how much money it could make (I’m on my way to the golden clock). I actually watched this video while doing a dangerous mines run to get some cash. I’ve used the ice rod a few times and the fairy box was useful for Mr Qi’s no-food skull cavern challenge. The frog still has my heart though.

[@60centreviews29]

If you want to try out a build for crit daggers that is fun first you need the weapon: iridium needle put artful and add crit chance in the forge. You also need the level 10 combat skill acrobat so you can spam heavy attacks.

[@GuidingPixels]

@@60centreviews29 I’ll definitely try that out thx!

[@tammytours9177]

Im looking forward to the parrot! So excited to play today I won't unlock mastery today but I will give it my best. ( 1.6 update is today ... At some point)

[@GuidingPixels]

@@tammytours9177 have fun playing today :)! It should come out in a few hours hopefully

[@tammytours9177]

@GuidingPixels did some research and it could come out around 1pm Toronto time maybe idk for sure it says the update could come around 6-7pm GMT.. which is 1pm EST... Ya confusing I know

[@GuidingPixels]

@@tammytours9177 that’s interesting! I guess there isn’t really a way to know for sure

[@tammytours9177]

@@GuidingPixels guess we just gotta wait.. and keep checking my switch every half an hour at best. Or in my case every ten minutes lol

[@tammytours9177]

@GuidingPixels the update just dropped for the switch! Yay! Sadly I must sleep. Will be playing it tonight when I wake up. Have a good day

[@delphy2478]

i use the fairy box as my go to because i can stop bringing food items for healing

[@Cthulhus_Mum]

Fairy is the most “useful”, parrot makes combat a valid money making venture, golden spur is the best for a deep dive or a speed run, and hair gel is cool (if useless). Basilisk is probably good for dangerous mines if you don’t have ginger on you, but the magic quiver, the ice rod and the frog all do things I actively don’t want done - I’d rather have no trinket than any of them lol. The frog going in a fish tank is good though - I didn’t know that and will now by a lot happier when I find them 🥰 Thanks!

[@williamhowells806]

I booted up 1.6 the first time on switch and got a perfect ice rod as my first trinket so they were all irrelevant after. Permenant freeze on any enemy. Busted af

[@GuidingPixels]

@@williamhowells806 damn that’s crazy lucky!

[@williamhowells806]

@GuidingPixels it really was. It fires faster than enemies can thaw out so it's free

[@huxiao4656]

ice rod is the best for me

[@Troll-destroyer]

you should do a video showing the glitch where players CAN'T get perfection and movie achievements but the game is bugged rn

[@GuidingPixels]

@@Troll-destroyer I don’t quiet understand your request, why would I make a video showcasing glitches?

[@keiharris332]

I make roughly 2 million a day off aged legend roe. 250 is peasant stuff. But i bet this trinket is not bad if you make less than 100k a day

[@GuidingPixels]

@@keiharris332 I find that hard to believe since you can only have 1 legend unless you use challenge bait

[@CaraMyBeloved]

​@@GuidingPixelsHe probably means Legend II

[@Bluedro]

Can someone please tell me if you can get a lvl 5 parrot.. I’ve gone through hundreds of iridium bars because someone once told me you could get it.

[@GuidingPixels]

@@Bluedro max lvl is 4

[@YukiChanC]

i love to use the arrow trinket with 0.69 cd to knockback enemies and mine without the monsters annoying me xD also how do you get the clown hat?

[@GuidingPixels]

The jester hat is available at the hat house shop after seeing one movie at the theater :)!

[@fish_cookies]

ice is op

[@jupiterxoxo3102]

Best enchant is rapid for the magic quiver - fires so fast that it can keep you safe from enemies swarming you

[@somerandomcreep]

Magic HairGel is absolute trash. It's just for show. Stardew Valley is full of pointless items, and Eric really shit the bed on this one.
