Hey Dungeoneers,

The next Shattered Pixel Dungeon update will include a new trinket! It’s a simpler one this time, with more of a cute aesthetic. It’s a little reference to a favorite ferret.

The Ferret Tuft boosts evasion for all characters, including both allies and enemies! That might sound like a mixed bag, but keep in mind that there are lots of ways to counter enemy evasion: magic, most ability attacks, surprise attacks, etc. You’ll need to make more use of these than usual to benefit from the trinket, but the extra defensive power can be well worth it.

(Image Description: An image showing the item info window for the new Ferret Tuft item. It reads: “Ferret Tuft +3: A tuft of silky white ferret fur, held together by a lime green ribbon tied into a bow. Ferrets are known for their agility, mischievousness, and lack of integrity. Some of that power seems to radiate from the trinket, enhancing the evasion of anything nearby. At its current level this trinket will increase the evasion of all characters by 60%.”)

    Evan, can you please define “nearby” for the ferret tuft evasion. I’m trying to calculate whether it’s worth it for my warden so I need to know at what range it kicks in. Thanks

      The ‘nearby’ is just flavor text. All characters have a bonus to evasion while you’re holding the Ferreyt Tuft. It’s a pretty powerful trinket, but you definitely have to be willing to play around it a bit.

    Seems interesting. I usually get the crystals if given the option, but I might pick this instead. I could always use more evasion.

    Wow, this sounds so great for a lot of different evasion-based stuff. Also great to go with a ring of tenacity (which people on Reddit lambast me for defending)!
