What is the best trinket in Midnight Season 2 (12.1.0)?

Trinket value depends heavily on your spec, but Font of Venomous Rage is among the strongest overall, adding up to 18.8% single-target damage in simulation. Pick your spec on the page and the list re-sorts to it.

How are trinkets ranked?

Bloodmallet-style: each trinket is dropped into an otherwise empty trinket slot and measured against a no-trinket baseline, so every value is positive and comparable. Simulated on the live SimulationCraft 12.1.0 build across four fights — single target, cleave, Cleave Big and Mythic+ — with each trinket at the item level it actually drops as (dungeon 321, raid 334, end-boss 344).

Ranked by damage added to a baseline with the trinket slot empty · live 12.1.0 · four fight profiles

Simulated on our own engine — the live SimulationCraft 12.1.0 build, across four fights: Single Target (Patchwerk), Cleave (CleaveAdd), Cleave Big (HecticAddCleave) and Mythic+ (DungeonSlice), the same profiles the DPS rankings use. Each trinket is measured at the item level it actually drops as: dungeon 321, raid 334, end-boss 344.

How to read this

Each number is what the trinket adds against an empty trinket slot, not against whichever trinket you happen to be wearing. That is deliberate: it puts every trinket on one scale starting at zero, which is the only framing where ranking two of them against each other means anything.

The percentage is what the trinket adds as a share of that spec's own single-target damage. The bar is relative to the best trinket on screen, so a bar at half length is worth roughly half as much as the top pick — not half of your damage.

A trinket that wins on paper can still be the wrong pick. Two on-use effects compete for the same moment, a proc that lines up with your burst window is worth more than its average suggests, and nothing here knows what your other trinket is. Treat this as the shortlist, then sim the pair.
