The Exotic Sea Shells is one of those trinkets you want to pick up as early as possible and the good news is that you can grab it very early in the game without much effort. If you are planning on upgrading Edward's gear or hunting for outfits this trinket will save you a significant amount of time throughout your playthrough. Here is where to find exotic sea shells in AC Black Flag Rescynced and why it is worth going out of your way for.
What Are the Exotic Sea Shells
Exotic Sea Shells is a Rare trinket in AC Black Flag Resynced that increases the number of Wildlife Products you collect every time you skin an animal. Wildlife Products are the materials used to craft upgrades for Edward's personal equipment including health upgrades, ammo pouches, pistol holsters, and dart pouches. Since every one of those upgrades requires animal materials the Exotic Sea Shells effectively cuts down the amount of hunting you need to do to reach the same results.

Why You Should Get It Early
Wildlife Products are a constant requirement throughout the game. Every tier of Edward's crafting upgrades needs animal hides, bones, or pelts and the further into the game you go the rarer the animals become. Having the Exotic Sea Shells equipped from early on means every hunting session yields more materials than it otherwise would giving you a compounding advantage that adds up significantly over a full playthrough. For anyone attempting a completionist run in particular this trinket is essentially mandatory.
Trinkets are a new addition in Resynced that did not exist in the original 2013 version of Black Flag. You can equip two at the same time so Exotic Sea Shells can be paired with another trinket of your choice without giving anything up. For more guides check out our AC Black Flag Resynced wiki.
