Trinkets are a brand-new equipment system introduced in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. Unlike the original 2013 release, Trinkets provide passive bonuses that enhance combat, stealth, exploration, naval activities, and resource gathering.
Each Trinket grants a unique effect, and you can equip up to two Trinkets at the same time, allowing you to customize Edward Kenway to suit different playstyles.
Below is the complete list of every Trinket currently available in the game.

Best Combat Trinkets
Black Pearl
Black Pearl is one of the strongest offensive Trinkets because it allows Chain Takedowns to continue into an additional enemy. This makes clearing groups of soldiers significantly faster and is especially useful during fort assaults and large-scale battles.
Narwhal’s Horn
Narwhal’s Horn allows Edward to break enemy defenses much more quickly, making heavily armored opponents far easier to defeat. Players who rely on aggressive melee combat will get excellent value from this Trinket.
Shark Teeth
Shark Teeth prevents Brutes from stopping your Chain Takedowns, making multi-enemy encounters much safer and allowing you to maintain offensive momentum even against tougher enemies.
Rabbit’s Foot
Rabbit’s Foot gives successful parries a chance to stagger enemies, creating additional opportunities for counterattacks and instant kills.
Templar Cross
Templar Cross reduces incoming melee damage, making it one of the best defensive Trinkets for difficult fights or higher difficulty settings.
Best Stealth Trinkets
Hidden Ones Sigil
Hidden Ones Sigil increases the amount of time enemies take to detect Edward while crouched. This gives players more freedom to sneak through restricted areas, making it an excellent choice for stealth-focused gameplay.
Gold Earring
Gold Earring slows the rate at which your Wanted Level increases during piracy, making it easier to continue exploring without constantly attracting bounty hunters or enemy patrols.
Best Exploration Trinkets
Diamond Trinket
Diamond Trinket slows oxygen depletion while diving, allowing you to stay underwater much longer. This is particularly useful when exploring shipwrecks or collecting underwater treasure.
Guardian Beast Trinket
Guardian Beast Trinket gradually restores Edward’s health whenever he leaves combat. This reduces the need to constantly consume healing items between encounters.
Lodestone
Lodestone automatically collects loot from nearby defeated enemies and Curios. It saves a significant amount of time by eliminating the need to manually search every body after combat.
Best Economy Trinkets
Found Coin
Found Coin increases the amount of Reales earned from various activities, making it one of the best Trinkets for players looking to purchase ship upgrades, weapons, and equipment more quickly.
Exotic Sea Shells
Exotic Sea Shells increases the amount of crafting materials gained from skinning animals. This makes gathering resources for crafting upgrades considerably faster.
How to Get Trinkets
Trinkets can be obtained through several different activities during your adventure.
Complete Main and Side Quests
Many story missions and optional side quests reward unique Trinkets upon completion. Some can also be found while progressing through specific quest areas, so it’s worth exploring thoroughly before leaving.
Purchase from Shops
Several Trinkets can be bought from merchants such as General Stores and Treasure Dealers. These typically require Reales, although some may also require specific materials before they become available.
Open Treasure Chests
Certain treasure chests scattered throughout the Caribbean contain guaranteed Trinkets. Exploring islands and opening every chest is one of the most reliable ways to expand your collection.
Explore the Open World
Not every Trinket is hidden inside a chest. Some appear directly in the environment and can simply be picked up after interacting with them. NPC dialogue and environmental clues may occasionally hint at their locations.
How Trinkets Work
Trinkets function as passive equipment that automatically grants bonuses while equipped. Unlike weapons or armor, they don’t require activation and remain active throughout gameplay.
Since each Trinket focuses on a different aspect of the game, they allow players to customize Edward for specific activities, whether that’s stealth, combat, exploration, or farming resources.
Trinkets add a completely new layer of customization to Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, allowing players to tailor Edward Kenway’s abilities to their preferred playstyle. Whether you want to improve stealth with the Hidden Ones Sigil, dominate combat using the Black Pearl, or speed up exploration with the Diamond Trinket and Lodestone, choosing the right combination can make every activity significantly more efficient. Since you can equip two Trinkets at once, experimenting with different combinations is one of the best ways to optimize your build throughout the game.
