Have you just obtained the Unbound Changeling trinket from Mists of Tirna Scithe and are you wondering how the trinket works? In this article we will be giving an overview of what the trinket does, and how to change the stat proc on it.
The Unbound Changeling trinket was first introduced to players in the Shadowlands expansion, and was considered one of the more powerful trinkets from that expansion. In The War Within Season 1, it will be returning with the Mists of Tirna Scithe dungeon.
The trinket is unique as the stat proc that it gives changes based on the corresponding food that the player has most recently eaten, and the player will keep that specific stat buff until they eat a different food. There are 4 different buffs that the trinket can give:
- Critical Strike: Unbound Changeling
- Haste: Unbound Changeling
- Mastery: Unbound Changeling
- Critical Strike, Haste and Mastery: Unbound Changeling
The final buff mentioned here (Critical Strike, Haste and Mastery) is quite rare and has a chance to appear once per day when a player gains any well fed buff.
Changing Stats on the Unbound Changeling
The trinket works exactly the same as it did in Shadowlands, but with the new The War Within foods instead. Below you will find a table showing which foods will give each stat on the trinket.
Note: Ginger Glazed Fillet has no effect on the Changeling and other multi-stat foods with versatility on it seem to give the other stat on the food. Main stat food such as Sweet and Sour Meatballs also appear to have no effect on the Changeling either.
| Food | Buff Stat |
| Zesty Nibblers | Haste |
| Fiery Fish Sticks | Critical Strike |
| Salty Dog | Mastery |
| Fish and Chips | Critical Strike |
| Marinated Tenderloins | Mastery |
| Sweet and Spicy Soup | Haste |
| Chippy Tea | Mastery or Haste |
| Deepfin Patty | Haste or Critical Strike |
| Salt Baked Seafood | Mastery or Critical Strike |
| Outsider's Provisions, Empress' Farewell or Jester's Board | Highest Secondary Stat out of Haste, Critical Strike and Mastery |
| Everything Stew | Lowest Secondary Stat out of Haste, Critical Strike and Mastery |
How to Obtain the Unbound Changeling Trinket
The Unbound Changeling trinket drops from Ingra Maloch, the first boss of the Mists of Tirna Scithe dungeon. The trinket will be obtainable in both Heroic and Mythic difficulties of the dungeon as of 10th September for US servers and 11th September for EU servers, with Mythic+ difficulty being released 1 week later alongside the Mythic difficulty for the Nerub’ar Palace raid.
It is also worth noting that Mythic 0 difficulty is now on a daily lockout instead of weekly, so you will be able to farm the trinket on that difficulty more frequently than you could in the past.
We hope this article has helped you to understand how to get the most out of your Unbound Changeling trinket, helping you to take on the upcoming content for Season 1 and blast the meters.
