Trinkets
Your best in slot trinkets are Araz's Ritual Forge & Astral Antenna.
Other trinkets to consider include:
Embellishments
Embellishments currently have a miniscule impact on your throughput, and shouldn’t deter you from using any piece of gear you may have acquired, providing the gear you have is higher item level than the embellished piece.
That being said, your best embellishments are as follows:
- Double Dawnthread Lining on wrists and belt for extra crit rating (consider this setup as BiS)
- Any 2-hand weapon with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension + Wrists with Writhing Armor Banding
After crafting your embellished pieces, prioritize crafting pieces for your lowest item level slots.
Important: Always remember to sim your character as the above is only a guideline and is not guaranteed to be true for every character.
Puzzling Cartel Chips (Dinars)
Puzzling Cartel chips provide as an easy way to obtain BiS trinket options, providing that you meet the criteria. You can earn up to 9 Chips per character, so up to 3 items can be purchased from the vendors in Dornogal.
Recommended Purchases:
- Araz's Ritual Forge (BiS)
- Cursed Stone Idol (If you can't acquire Araz's Ritual Forge)
- Astral Antenna
- Screams Of A Forgotten Sky (Raid Only)
- Interloper's Plated Sabatons
Reshii Wraps
Reshii Wraps is a new cape released in Patch 11.2 and will be the only cape you need. You’ll earn your Reshii Wraps via several quests in K’aresh, up to and including chapter 3 of the storyline. The Reshii Wraps are upgradable via Ethereal Strands and comes with a Fiber slot.
Fibers are crafted by Tailors and will grant your Reshii Wraps a secondary stat of your choice. You do not need to be a tailor yourself, you can simply put in a work order.
When picking a Fiber, I strongly recommend simming your character for the best stat for your current gear and intended content. If you just want a quick recommendation for which Reshii Fiber to use, then use Pure Energizing Fiber (Mastery).
