Useful Trinkets and Items for RP, War Within Edition

Argent Dawn
1

Though the previous topic on the matter Useful Trinkets for RP, A Compilation and its predecessor Useful Trinkets for RP were locked, and with the original still being a very good guide to trinkets with visual effects, I’ve tried to keep its successor up to date by simply editing the post. With the release of Dragonflight and now the first second third SEASON OF AWAKENED raid The War Within, I thought it was a good time to bring the list back, with some new updates as new items and trinkets are found! As always, the list is bound to be incomplete even right now and to grow when more are added, so feel free to chime in. Generally, the rule for the inclusion of a trinket in the list is that it shouldn’t require a Hostile Target. This list has items other than just trinkets, such as Quest Items or just plain old On Use stuff.

I organized these in categories depending on their visual effects, but they’re still only suggestions on my part and not a rule for how they should be used.

Melee

Effects that usually trigger an animation on the character, such as punching or swinging a weapon.

List
  • Grong’s Primal Rage - Stomps the ground repeatedly while roaring.
  • Emissary’s Watch - Performs a punch animation even with a weapon equipped. For Monks, this attack is different depending on your spec!
  • Abacus of Violent Odds - Performs a punch animation even with a weapon equipped. For Monks, this attack is different depending on your spec!
  • Moroes’ Lucky Pocket Watch - Performs a weapon swing animation.
  • Incisor Fragment - Performs a weapon swing animation.
  • Ramping Amplitude Gigavolt Engine - Increases speed with an exhaust particle effect behind.
  • Might of Krosus - The user stomps the ground and leaves behind a fel green crater. Example: https://media1.giphy.com/media/s3NKMG6p2fPiwLoAYY/giphy.gif?cid=790b76114686b935b88ff009811ad7955e0095749547737a&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
  • Apparatus of Khazgoroth - Apparatus of Khaz’goroth, which requires getting 5 stacks of a buff it gives for every melee crit you do, and then gives you a fiery aura that definitely isn’t straight out of DBZ. Getting the crits isn’t too difficult for most melee classes but it could be neat if anyone wants the flair. Example: https://media1.giphy.com/media/xlDaGvzu89rFPt6eke/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611b83a3508697b4708894addcc568b4aaf47e1910c&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
  • Holy Censer - Quest item EXCLUSIVE to ALLIANCE that does a weapon swing animation on a very short cooldown. Can be used anywhere.
  • The Swineskin - Toy, throws a ball at a target with a punching animation. Requires a friendly target.
  • Foot ball - Toy, kicks a ball at a target with a kicking animation. Requires a friendly target.
  • Icon of Unyielding Courage - Performs a different weapon swing depending on the weapon equipped, which is also different from Emissary’s Watch or Holy Censer.
  • Gnomish Auto-Dodger 600 - Displays the defensive stance effect for a while, with 4 shields that surround and orbit the user.
  • Practice Ravager - Do the bladestorm animation until cancelled, or for 10 minutes. Doing it for too long will leave you dizzy for a few moments!

Holy

Effects evocative of the Light with bright, shimmering particle effects.

List
  • High Powered Flashlight - Casts a pillar of white light that looks exactly like an Elune Stone.
  • Overflowing Ember Mirror - Overflowing Ember Mirror is from a quest in Revendreth, but creates a bubble-like shield around that bursts after a while. Example: https://media4.giphy.com/media/KpwKVmFXolGlNwkEIJ/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611048e566c6e81e93ee45bd4946cb72abed3f7dc62&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
  • Shard of Annhylde’s Aegis - Creates the same barrier animation from the Aegis of Aggramar in Legion. Example: https://gyazo.com/d21d253db1c83ccfb5885a14e9395316
  • Tarratus Keystone - Creates a very short-lived portal of Light next to the target to heal them.
  • Archive of Faith - Channels a beam of Light at a target, then surrounds them in a Holy bubble at the end.
  • Mydas’ Talisman - Covers the user’s hands in an intense particle of effect of Light.
  • Lingering Sunmote - Creates a bright effect on the ground, similar to a consecration.
  • Ankh of Life - Instant cast with Classic’s Renew particle effect. Can be used on a Friendly Target as well.
  • Shadowmoon Insignia - Uses the Paladin’s vanilla Holy Light particle effect, though with no casting animation from the player.
  • Bauble of True Blood - Casts an elaborate Holy particle effect around the player.
  • Figurine of the Colossus - Creates a ring of light with 4 golden shields that orbit the player.
  • The Lion’s Roar - Casts a dome of Light akin to Anduin’s from the trailer for BFA, and the intro quest for Shadowlands.
  • Brimming Ember Shard - Channels a beam of Light at a target. Dimmer than Apexis Focusing Shard.
  • Apexis Focusing Shard - Toy, channels a denser beam of Light at a target.
  • Vial of the Sunwell - Produces the disc priest atonement spell effect. Example: https://media4.giphy.com/media/aJWB2JE4NBVOTC854R/giphy.gif?cid=790b76117cfeb2102ea531a33277e91e8454531750f140e7&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
  • Faith’s Crucible - Fires off tiny holy bolts at allies. Difficult to see, however.
  • Caregiver’s Charm - A holy rune briefly surrounds the user.
  • Investi-gator’s Pocketwatch - Become wreathed in a golden glow with a sandy effect all around. Also useful for time magic!
  • Ward of Envelopment - Grants friendly players in the targeted area a holy bubble.
  • Brimming Ember Shard - Same as the Apexis Focusing Shard, with a slightly more modern visual.
  • Tome of Light’s Devotion - Conjure a paladin libram beside the user for a few moments.

Shadow

Shadowy effects evocative of the Void.

List

Fel

Effects that evoke Fel/Legion.

List

Arcane

Effects themed around Arcane magic, including runes and casting effects.

List
  • Shifting Naaru Sliver - Creates an elaborate magical rune under the user.
  • Glimmering Naaru Sliver - Performs an animation that is similar to the old Evocation mage ability.
  • Azsharas Font of Power - Performs an elaborate Evocation animation, similar to a mage’s ability.
  • Jaina’s Locket - Performs the Portal/Teleport casting animation, before producing a usable portal to Dalaran.
  • Shadow Jade Focusing Lens - Channel a light purple beam with a sinusoidal animation towards the target. Interrupted by movement.
  • Prismatic Focusing Lens - Channels a rainbow-colored beam towards the target. It has the same visuals as the Reflecting Prism.
  • Mogu Rune of Paralysis - Sets up a red, mogu looking rune.
  • Depleted Leyflame Burner - Quest item. Performs the evocation pose with large arcane spell effects around the hands. Extremely short cooldown and long cast time, can be mixed with other spells for more effects.
  • EMP Generator - Belt Engineering tinker effect. Causes an Arcane Explosion effect at the user’s location.
  • Tome of Unstable Power - Creates a Dragonflight-era arcane rune on the ground, with an effect of whirling air around it.
  • Compendium of Love - Toy. For a few moments, acquire arcane particles around the user’s hand while flipping through a spectral book with the other hand. Useful for short incantations on a 3 minute cooldown.
  • Barrier Generator - Channels a barrier in front of the user.
  • Illusion Parchment: Arcane Burst - Cast an arcane missile at the target.
  • Mini Mana Bomb - Throw a bomb at a target location, which then casts an arcane explosion.

Misc Magic

A variety of magical-looking effects, from fire and arcane to blood.

List

Shaman

Effects generally related to Lightning and Wind effects.

List

Druidic

Nature related items and toys that are better suited for druidic purposes.

List
  • Horn of Cenarius - Conjures a wisp that flies at a friendly target.
  • Mylune’s Call - Causes a vibrant grassy field to grow around the user for a limited time.
  • Path of Elothir - Causes the user’s steps to leave behind a trail of green leaves.
  • Glimmerdust’s Grand Design - Casts an Ardenweald wisp towards the target. The next time they take any damage, they become enveloped in a unique, blue barrier. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8BUTUfdiuM&ab_channel=Sipder
  • Fast Growing Seed - Plants a sappling that quickly grows into a small tree. Short cooldown!
  • Satchel of Healing Spores - Surrounds a friendly target in a cloud of green spores.

Engineering

Mechanical or engineer-based items and toys with visual effects or server-side models.

List

Transformation

Effects that change the user into another model. Perfect for NPCing and other such uses!

List

Misc

Effects that, in my view, didn’t fall in any of the categories above.

List
  • Precious Bloodthorn Loop - Allows you to stealth for a few seconds.
  • Hourglass Sand - Hourglass Sand is also not a trinket but it’s easily collectable from Blackwing Lair and has the same visual effect of Slow Fall. Can only be used on yourself. Example: https://media2.giphy.com/media/qWfwfLRl7KlB1BZWbX/giphy.gif?cid=790b76110adaa47d1cf11e020c73b51c299f793a6cda1be3&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
  • Desecrated Oil - Become grayscale. Useful for petrification, corruption, etc…
  • Deepstone Oil - Become petrified, halting all animations until the debuff is removed.
  • Scepter of Spectacle: Order - Shoots a golden, Order-magic-like orb forward. The wand must be equipped first.
  • Temporally-Locked Sands - Become trapped in a time bubble for 5 minutes, in a choking animation. Might be handy as a barrier too.
  • Mistcaller’s Ocarina - The caster plays a song during the cast, which can be interrupted and restarted to continue playing it.
  • Blue Drog - Covers the user in a blue tint. Similar to the Paint Bladders, but retains material properties (so reflective materials like metal still remain shiny).
  • Dented Can - Play the fishing animation indefinitely (only works on fishable water).
  • Convergent Prism - Play the “weapon(s) raised” animation on a loop. Also places a gem in one hand, which can fire off a laser beam of customizable colors, that only your raid can see.
  • Ethereal Transmogrifier - Summons an ethereal that offers transmog services. Useful as a set piece in case decorative NPCs are needed.
  • Scroll of Inner Truth - Acquire the monk meditation animation in midair.
  • Scroll of Torga’s Swiftness - Move DRASTICALLY slower for a small while.
  • Sunwarmed Sand - Same as Hourglass Sand, also turns the skybox to daytime.
  • Arathi Book Collection - Conjure an entire desk with books to read from.
  • Cave Spelunker’s Torch - Wield a torch, lighting up its surroundings.
  • Flickering Torch - Identical to the above, but remains wielded while mounted or performing most non-combat actions.
  • Holy Candle - Put down an Arathi candle.

[Heatbound Medallion]

Not sure where I got it, but it lets u smacka cone of fire in front of u on a 1min30 cooldown.

Pretty cool for mages/shamans etc!

edit: Oh and the [Stone Breaker] toy. Summons a big stone pillar in front of u that u then smash, followed by headbutting a falling boulder, and throwing the remnants around. 10 min cd.

Came across this: Convergent Prism

While normally it just has your character raising up a crystal, holding something in your character’s off-hand slot and sheathing/unsheathing displays the offhand instead (at least client side)

As a druid in cat or bear form, instead it repeats the combat swiping animations!

Currently at the Trading Post, you are able to find Ethereal Transmogrifier.

A toy that permits you to transmog wherever you are (if you don’t have the Yak) with a 10 minute CD and 10 minute up-time. This grants us a good chance for NPC use in roleplay.

I haven’t been able to take a look at any useful additions in 10.1.7 yet, so if anyone runs into anything, do feel free to mention! I’ve sneakily added a few new ones over the past month or so.

14

I’m sorry if this is off topic, but does anyone have more information on how the Projection Prism can be used in RP? I’m very familiar with utilizing the much shorter lasting Reflecting Prism to upkeep various appearances through occasionally swapping with an alt, but I haven’t gotten a chance to try out the Projection Prisms strength and weaknesses. If anyone’s been using it for that kind of purpose, I’d love to know more about how you’d go about it as the items seem a bit different. :pleading_face::pray:

15

You use your reflecting prism as you usually would but once instead of twice, then use the projection prism. It might seem ineffective without any further context, but the reason why this makes prism roleplay so much easier is because on a max quality reflecting prism, the duration is 30 mins+.

Helpful if you want to look like you’re in stealth without actually being said.

The Torch of Pyrreth toy from the Secrets of Azeroth is pretty good, you won’t stop holding a torch for nothing other than actively right-clicking it away!
