The first trinket is a small and golden statue of a queen bee. It can be found on the second floor of the Goldenglow estate; in the same room as Aringoth the wood elf is located. Going after this trinket before you are given the quest related to Goldenglow makes Aringoth call for guards if he detects you; so I advise retrieving this trinket during or after the related quest, besides, it's quite fun to weave around the estate with a high sneak skill.


The bee statue rests on a desk right of the bed, and Aringoth can be found crouched behind the cupboard on the far left side of the room.

Trash's Top Tip: by using an invisibility potion, the statue can be grabbed and taken out of Aringoth's sight to steal without provoking a reaction. Grabbing items does not break your invisibility.

The next trinket is an ornate decanter found in Honningbrew meadery. It lies on a desk at the far end of the upstairs room of the meadery. The trinket does not appear until the related quest involving the meadery is given to you.


After picking the lock on the door shown, the decanter can be found on the desk to the right.

Trash's Top Tip: don't be proud, hire a mercenary to help you during the meadery quest; they're certainly worth the fee.

Trinket 3 is a map showing the main shipping routes used by the East Empire Company across Tamriel. It is found in a shack situated high above the East Empire Company warehouse, on the other side of the water from the warehouse's entrance. This trinket also does not appear until the related quest is added to your journal. I advise acquiring this trinket during this quest as the X-ray visioned dockworkers are replaced with mercenaries and are more easily evased.


make your way around the horseshoe-like maze of the warehouse until you arrive at the pier structure across the water from the warehouse's entrance; here, ascend the rockface via the path shown until you reach the shack. The map can be found lying on a table inside.


Trash's Top Tip: the shack offers a good vantage point to observe the guard patrols.

Trinket 4 is a model ship, closely resembling those found wrecked on Skyrim's coasts. It is located in the ruins of Snow Veil Sanctum; an ancient Nordic tomb filled with Draugr. The ruins are not accessible until the quest takes you there; however, I recommend returning to collect the trinket at a later date.


find the model ship by taking the staircase at the far end of the room shown, directly opposite the entrance. Follow the tunnel and you will arrive at the Trinket but be careful as it is trapped.

Trash's Top Tip: grabbing or taking the trinket from it's stand will trigger the firetrap, Indiana Jones style; grab the trinket and quickly back away from the oil before it is set alight.

Trinket 5 is a Dwemer cube that closely resembles the lexicons, made by the same race, found in skyrim. It is in Calcelmo's Dwemer museum in Markarth; once again, this trinket is not available until you recieve the related quest.

Navigate the museum until you reach a room with a mercenary and a wizard; if you find yourself on the balcony overlooking Markarth, you have gone too far. Against the wall on the right, past the enchanting table, sits the box.

Trash's Top Tip: before descending the stairs to the room with the trinket, look to the right. At the end of the corridor is a valve which can be activated to make short work of the mercenary and wizard, so long as you can accept the blood of others on your hands...

The penultimate trinket is a large stone bust of the legendary thief 'The Gray Fox'. It is found in a secret room below the Manor belogning to Mercer Frey. Riftweald Manor is impossible to enter before you are given the related quest.

make your way below Riftweald Manor, to Mercer's secret room; watch yourself as the way is trapped to Oblivion. When you arrive at the secret room the Bust will be on the desk for the taking.


Trash's Top Tip: having the 'light foot' perk will render most of the traps useless; when you arrive at the secret room, don't forget to help yourself to the bowl full of expensive gemstones sitting on the desk.

The final trinket is one of the rare large gems, ironically named the 'eyes of the falmer'. Delvin will pay a reasonable weight of septims for one of the eyes, but only one; the other is your's to do with as you see fit. They are found in the final room of the Dwemer ruins of Irkngthand. The ruins are only accessible during the related quest, and the trinket(s) must be obtained through a boss fight.


After defeating the boss, loot his corpse to obtain both eyes of the falmer. While one is the trinket for Delvin, the other can be sold or kept at your discretion; use it as a decorative item in your home, or store it in a safe until you've sharpened a silver tongue and trade it for some poor shopkeepers life's savings.

Trash's Top Tip: this boss uses your own stealth against you by regularly becoming invisible! If you're well acquainted with magic, using a conjured familiar is an effective way to seek out this invisible man...
