Trinkets are one of the biggest gameplay changes in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. In the original game, Edward Kenway got his perks from the outfits he wore. Now those perks live in small items called Trinkets, which you can swap in and out whenever you want. Below is a breakdown of the trinkets worth grabbing in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, and how to get them.

Best Trinkets in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced

Every trinket in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced falls into one of five rarity tiers:

  • Common
  • Uncommon
  • Rare
  • Epic
  • Legendary

However, rarity doesn't always mean power in this game. Some Rare trinkets are actually better than the Legendary ones. In Black Flag Resynced, trinkets work more as quality-of-life boosts than as build-defining gear. You'll pick them up from chests, anomaly events, quest rewards, and hideout vendors.

Now, let’s take a look at the best trinkets in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced!

Best Overall Trinkets

The Abyssal Pendant is the trinket that heals you a little every time you land a kill. During long fights, that steady healing keeps you from burning through meds, and it takes almost zero effort to use well, which makes it the easiest trinket in the game to get value from. However, to get this trinket, you need to buy the Sea Serpent Character Pack for $9.99.

Best Combat Trinkets

Templar Cross is a free Legendary trinket that you can obtain by collecting every Templar Key and unlocking the armor during Damn Fine Gear. This trinket reduces incoming melee damage, making it an excellent choice since you'll be fighting many enemies at close range.

The second-best combat trinket you can get is the Yax Tun Pendant. It's the strongest since full bullet immunity will change combat. All the naval boarding actions, assaults, and fort ambushes become much less punishing for you. However, it's a late-game unlock because you have to finish the Mayan Mysteries side quest to get it.

Best Exploration Trinket

The best one for exploration is the Lodestone. It does nothing for you in a fight, but it automatically loots nearby Corpses and Curious for you. Since the world is packed with random loot, this will save you a lot of time from constantly circling back after every skirmish. You can easily pick it up from the General Store that you've restored during the Former Glories quest, for 7,000 Reales.

Other Trinkets Worth Mentioning in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced

  • Wooden Eyeball - This one lets a quick pistol shot instantly take down a Brute, which is huge since Brutes are some of the most annoying enemies you'll face.
  • Lock of Hair - Heals you after a Perfect Parry, basically a skill-based version of the Abyssal Pendant.
  • Gold Earring - Lowers the wanted level you build up from piracy, handy before a big naval raid.
  • Diamond Trinket - Slows down how fast your oxygen drains while underwater. It might sound like a comfort pick, but several mandatory quests, including hunting Ultimate Ship Plans for your Jackdaw ship upgrades inside sunken wrecks, put you underwater whether you want to be or not.
  • Exotic Sea Shells - Boosts wildlife materials from skinning animals, great for early crafting grinds.
