World of Warcraft: Dragonflightbrought out their most cunning minds to make all the new creative trinkets in the expansion. While the basic stat sticks are still present, most trinkets have fun, active abilities and clever conditions to empower their effects. But at the same time, it isn’t too intrusive that it will screw with your best rotations.

Some of the best trinkets have a risk-reward system where you’ll reap the most benefits if you use it at the right time. Carefully consider the strengths and weaknesses of your class before spending effort to hunt down the best trinkets in Dragonflight.
10Spoils Of Neltharus
The Spoils of Neltharus trinket appears as a decorated treasure chest containing fleeting power. Activating the item boosts a secondary stat significantly. The catch is there’s a chance to shuffle the contents after casting a spell, but you can check what stat it will affect.
The slight inconvenience is worth it because Spoils of Neltharus is a highly sought-after trinket because of the massive numerical buff. Expect players to fight for this trinket once Neltharus enters theMythic+ dungeon pool.
9Desperate Invoker’s Codex
The Desperate Invoker’s Codex is for risky players who love big damage numbers and don’t care about their healers' mental well-being. Upon casting a spell, you’ll gain a stack of Hatred, lowering the trinket’s cooldown by one second. The effect stacks up to 180 times, reducing the cooldown to one minute until the end of the fight.

Activating the trinket shoots a dangerous current of lightning that deals a huge burst against your target (and yourself), increasing with your Hatred stacks. You’ll get more value out of this trinket in extended fights, like during raids— and please use defensive mitigation before blasting away.
8Primal Ritual Shell
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight has put more emphasis oncommuning with the natural elementsof Azeroth. The Primal Ritual Shell trinket lets you experience this first-hand by performing a summoning ritual to ask for the blessing of one of the four primal turtles. You also have to use the trinket in a specific spot: a peaceful and isolated area near Uktulut Pier in the Waking Shores.
Wind blessing grants extra mastery, Fire blessing does burst damage, Earth blessing procs a sturdy shield, and Water blessing helps healers with spot heals. You can loot the trinket from almost every rare mob throughout the Dragon Isles.
7Broodkeeper’s Promise
Broodkeeper’s Promise is the hottest item dropped from the Vault of the Incarnates raid for healers. The trinket is looted from the penultimate boss of the raid, Broodkeeper Diurna, and lets you become the guardian of another player. After designating an ally, both of you receive bonus versatility and restore health per second (HPS).
Additionally, the bonus stats and the heal increase when you’re near each other. The health per second makes this trinket invaluable in dungeons, as the HPS throughput is more than enough to sustain a party member.
6Furious Ragefeather
At first glance, the Furious Ragefeather seems like an ordinary DPS trinket. Your offensive spells have a chance to fire Soulseeker Arrow at your enemy, dealing steady damage for twenty seconds. However, what elevates the item into a top-tier choice is that once a target dies under the effects, your next spells are guaranteed to fire an arrow.

As you can imagine, casters with high actions-per-minute (APM) can take full advantage of the effect. For intellect-based specslike Frost Mageand Balance Druid, it’s a must-have trinket to skyrocket yourself to the top of the charts.
5Whispering Incarnate Icon
Introducing the trinket that will ruin friendships and guilds: the Whispering Incarnate Icon is the best in slot for nearly every class in Dragonflight. The powerful trinket gives you a hefty bonus to your primary stat, critical strike, and imbues you with Frost.
The Whispering Incarnate Icon synergizes with other party members who are imbued with Earth and Fire, infusing you with a secondary stat relative to your role. Unfortunately, this is one of the rarest drops in the raid, so it’s up to RNGesus whether or not you’ll get one before the next tier.
4Decoration Of Flame
The Decoration of Flame trinket is a mandatory item for tanks, especially inMythic+ dungeons, as it provides a significant burst of offense and survivability. The trinket gives a flat increase to either strength or agility and has an active effect. Using the trinket sends out waves of flame that attacks enemies and grants a personal shield.
After a short delay, the waves of fire radiate back to you, repeating the same effects. Additionally, the damage and shield scale as you hit more enemies, making it perfect for tanks to blaze through trash packs.
3Controlled Current Technique
The Controlled Current Technique trinket is dropped from Kurog Grimtotem from the Vault of the Incarnates raid. Best for auto-attacking agility classes like Rogues and Hunters, your critical strikes can amp up the trinket with electricity, giving you more attack speed per stack.

The attack speed caps out at ten stacks; afterward, you’ll become surged and gain bonus effects. For twelve seconds, your auto attacks will strike your target and a nearby enemy and gain additional movespeed. The best part is that the trinket is completely passive, letting you focus on optimal rotation.
2Manic Grieftorch
Dropped by Broodkeeper Diurna in the Vault of the Incarnates raid, the Manic Grieftorch trinket is for strength or agility classes. you’re able to use the item to channel wild flame to strike your target, with a chance to affect nearby enemies. The raw damage is so strong that you’ll often see it substantially contributing to your DPS.
Manic Grieftorch has an additional condition that resets its cooldown by ninety seconds when an allied player dies. Anyone who’s ever tried pugging raids knows how much value you’ll get from the trinket. If you’re feeling mischievous, you can use Tricks of the Trade or Misdirection to gain more DPS by griefing your teammates.
1Storm-Eater’s Boon
The Storm-Eater’s Boon is a trinket with an incredibly high reward if you can mitigate the risk of humiliating yourself. Dropped from Dalthea, Ascended in the Vault of the Incarnates raid, strength and agility classes must think carefully about whether they’ll roll for this item. The trinket lures you in with its potential for an uncapped area of effect damage, as it attacks every nearby enemy while increasing the DPS by ten percent each second.
The catch is that you’re immobilized in place during the whole duration. In Warcraft, ten seconds without moving is a sure invitation for death, not to mention there’s a risk of the mobs moving away from you. You can mitigate the effects with an Evoker’s Rescue or a Priest’s Grip. Additionally, it’s also great for trivializing certain mechanics like Dalthea and Raszageth’s pushback.
