# Trinkets

**Trinkets** are little keepsakes you place in your pet's habitat — pure decoration,
earned by playing well. Each habitat has a few **trinket slots**; arrange the trinkets
you've unlocked however you like. They're cosmetic only: a trinket never changes a
stat, a grade, or an evolution.

Trinkets count toward the **completionist North Star** — collecting all of them is part
of 100% completion (alongside the Dex, achievements, and habitats), weighted into the
overall meter. See [Achievements](achievements.md) and [Unlockables](unlockables.md).

## The twelve trinkets

Trinkets are grouped by what you're doing when you earn them.

### Grade & trait milestones

| Trinket          | How you earn it                                     | Achievement           |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- |
| **Bouncy Ball**  | Your pet's grade reaches **B** for the first time   | _Showing Promise_     |
| **Cushion**      | Earn the **Marathoner** trait for the first time    | _The Long Haul_       |
| **Lava Lamp**    | Your pet's grade reaches **A** for the first time   | _Exceptional Quality_ |
| **Bonsai**       | Earn **5 distinct traits** in a single lifetime     | _Kaleidoscope_        |
| **Gift Box**     | Earn the **Polyhost** trait for the first time      | _Bridge Builder_      |
| **Trophy Shelf** | Your pet's grade reaches **S** — the legendary tier | _Legendary Grade_     |

### Token tribute

| Trinket       | How you earn it                        | Achievement                   |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| **Gold Coin** | Feed your lineage **1 million tokens** | _First Million_               |
| **Gem Hoard** | Reach **10 billion** lifetime tokens   | _Ten-Billion Club_            |
| **Crown**     | Reach **100 billion** lifetime tokens  | _Hundred-Billion Heavyweight_ |

### Battle glory

| Trinket            | How you earn it                           | Achievement        |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| **Laurel Wreath**  | Win your **first battle**                 | _First Blood_      |
| **Champion Belt**  | Win **5 battles in a row** without a loss | _Unbroken_         |
| **Crossed Swords** | Fight **25 battles**, win or lose         | _Seasoned Fighter_ |

Every trinket is tied to a milestone you reach through real work — there's no shop and
nothing is bought. And because nothing in Token Tamers is permanently missable, a
trinket you haven't earned yet is simply still ahead of you.

## Placing trinkets

Open the **Loot** page (hotkey **3** in the shell) and switch to the **Trinkets** tab to drop unlocked trinkets into your current habitat's slots. Different habitats offer different slot layouts, so the same
collection can be staged in a new way each time you switch scenery — see
[Unlockables](unlockables.md) for the full habitat list.
