Why is thw 122 trinkets better than the 126??

    Basically what the title says. I came across a 126 trinket finally just to get another one in flash duo which was 122 and while the stats are abit better on the trinket i was wondering why the 122 item level memorable mystic invader device has
    Precision
    1984
    Might
    1945

    And the item level 126 enforcer ' charged gizmo trinket has
    Precision
    1887
    Might
    1808

    I just don't understand how a low item level has more prec and might. I know to some that might be much or care about it but I'm one of those unlucky ppl who go through a good about of grind and don't see a light at the end of the tunnel and when I finally do get somethin a trash green gear/trinket has better effects that higher item level.

    Sorry if there already a thread about this but I haven't seen one or any1 bring this up. But I just thought it's annoying and weird approach to whatever it is they doing. Is there a fix coming soon? Are they aware of this?

    P.S. I'm sure this also been brought up but what the hell is up with BD raid?? We had to run it 10x but we kept being stuck at last boss because the damn shield never goes down!!! That last hotfixxing whatever it was they did screwed some stuff up

    So it's intentional

    Yup, the 132 trinket has the same stats.

    I don't think the trinket stats have changed since 102 CR has it ??

    the trinket don't even matter. They don't increase your cr at all either and they still have the same buff as the green. I find that part dumb.

    I think it's mainly for players that don't have Hand of Fate / Utility Belt.

    Actually it does. My 126 raises my cr from 143 to 144. If I put the 122 my cr drops unfortunately. Don't know if that's intentional either but ur cr does drop at least mine do

    it doesn't. the trinket and utility are the same. having the trinket in your UB does nothing to your cr.

    Lol dude I equipped the 122 item level trinket into my belt it drops my cr, I'm not gonna sit here and agrue with u when I'm seeing it with my own eyes. If u want pics I'll be glad to post them. When I equip the 126 my cr jumps to 144. That's why I made this thread because I find it weird that not only the effects of the 122 is higher than the 126 item lvl trinket but it DOES drop my cr by 1. Let me just point out it doesn't lower my overall cr but my equip cr drops by 1

    I'm not 100% because I haven't tested it myself (only because my UB is126).. but I heard some ppl saying that whatever is higher cr now.. the ub or trinket is what counts towards cr. So it's possible he's seeing a drop in cr if his old trinket was a higher cr than his UB.

    Yep, that's how it's supposed to work. The highest trinket or utility belt equipped counts. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it had a glitch, though.

    Hi there,

    Here is the real answer to your question. :)

  14. dresserball Dedicated Player

    It takes the higher CR item for your equipped CR. I am still using my 100 belt and the trinket is effecting my CR
  15. COMBATICUS Dedicated Player

    While all that is fine, kinda enjowed the video. Still a older item level shouldn't have more effects than a 126. Problem is I never get decent loot or the higher loot, but when I finally do i find out an older item which is lower has better effects lol
  16. COMBATICUS Dedicated Player

    Yup basically. I just don't get why a green gear lower item lvl should have better effects than a 126 that should never be like that. Even vendor one is terrible lol
  17. GhostFly Killah Committed Player

    I just want to add that the 122 trinket with better buff drops in the new loa duo (forgot name). Not sure why they didn't up the cr on it being new content and all but stranger things have happened lol.

    Back in the day, a player only got the stats from the belt or trinket, and only CR from one....
    Now a player gets the stats from one, but both are needed for CR....
    Check it out for yourself...sometimes a players gear may fall into an 'in between' where the trinket won't change your CR visually, but, nonetheless, to achieve the highest CR, the trinket is REQUIRED...hope this helps

  19. BumblingB I got better.

    Keep in mind, a utility belt is a trinket too. Your CR is altered based on the best CR of the items in that socket, whether it be the belt itself or the trinket inside the belt.

    I just with utility belts would have 4 wildcards, i don't care a whole lot for buffs.

    Ok, I guess it changed how they do it. When I get a new higher cr trinket it does nothing to me. Usually.
