I am slowly grinding fishing trinkets, because you can't get them passively from barrels/shipwrecks. The title says all. I fished 1k islehoppers (https://i.imgur.com/CiQaXG5.png), but can't buy 100 lvl night variant (https://i.imgur.com/bHRQl3A.jpeg), same was with pondies (https://i.imgur.com/M6ZMRQN.png). Why do you need 1 extra lvl to purchase trinket. There was a reddit post about kraken trinket, user got 10 lvls in killing krakens, but couldn't buy it.
Why trinkets require 1 more lvl to purchase?
must not be universal, as far as I remember I was able to buy trinkets when meeting the requirement
pretty sure my kraken, skelly ship, and a couple of the meg trinkets all unlocked at class 100 and before at 50, 20, 10
same with shipwrecks
and so far no issue with sea forts but I haven't 100'd that one yet
1 out of 2
