About this mod

Converts that boring old musical instrument slot into something useful for everyone along with 100+ new items to fill it! My largest mod so far!

Changelogs
Experience Baldur's Gate like never before with over 100 new magical items to discover and equip in what is otherwise a rather pointless equipment slot!

Requires Script Extender.

MOD CONTENT:
  • Turns the "Musical Instrument" slot into the "Trinket" slot!
  • Over 100 trinkets to find all across Faerûn!
  • Loot is distributed in a carefully considered, lore-friendly, and balanced way.
  • Uses Script Extender to distribute items, meaning they will appear on already looted enemies/chests!
  • Enemies with trinkets will equip them! Can make some fights just a little more challenging!
  • Includes many wondrous items sourced from official material!
  • Class-restricted items! (Such as holy symbols for Clerics/Paladins!)
  • Keeps musical instruments interesting by giving "Perform" a unique effect for bards!
  • Unique effects that can completely change how you build your character!
  • Trinkets are not visible on the character like musical instruments are. Think of it like a third ring slot.

COMPATIBILITY:

Has added support for Better Tooltips and Better Inventory UI that changes the tooltip name from "Musical Instrument" to "Trinket" and is required to have the two artifact items show up as artifacts (be sure to update these mods!).

May conflict with mods that edit the vanilla musical instruments. Recommend placing this mod below any that do.

INSTALLATION:

  • Install BG3 Script Extender
  • Place the .pak file in your mods directory (AppData/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/Mods)
  • Enable the mod using BG3 mod manager
  • Enjoy!
