Combining Curio Trinkets with Agglomeration in Things
guide
The Agglomeration mechanic in Things allows players to fuse two separate curios that share a slot into a single unified dual-power accessory.
Fusing Shared-Slot Curios with Agglomeration
Players frequently discover powerful accessories that compete for the same limited accessory or hand slot:
- Craft or discover the mystical binding catalyst known as an
Empty Agglomeration. - Open a standard crafting grid and place the empty catalyst between two trinkets that share at least one accessory slot.
- For example, combine the long-reach
Arm Extender with the rapid-mining
Mining Glove on the workbench. - The alchemical catalyst fuses the two curios together, yielding an empowered composite artifact named
Agglomeration. - The resulting fused curio retains one hundred percent of both original passive powers while occupying only a single equipment slot.
- Fusing items eliminates painful compromises, allowing players to enjoy permanent haste alongside extended block reach.
- The bonding process permanently unifies the components, creating an indispensable multi-functional utility charm.
Combining Rings, Amulets, and Elemental Charms
The agglomeration process accommodates a wide variety of utility and defensive trinket combinations:
- Merge fire resistance crystals with swimming glands to create the ultimate aquatic-volcanic exploration talisman.
- Fuse magnetic item attractors with health-boosting amulets to construct the ultimate dungeon mob-grinding curio.
- Fused agglomerations can be equipped seamlessly into any curio slot compatible with either of the parent accessories.
- The composite artifact retains all durability characteristics and enchantment affinities of the original items.
- Players can examine fused trinket tooltips to verify that all integrated abilities remain fully operational.
- Combining disparate magical curios streamlines inventory management, freeing up accessory slots for secondary charms.
Endgame Accessory Optimization and Faction Builds
Mastering curio agglomeration provides decisive advantages during demanding multiplayer raids and boss skirmishes:
- Plan curio fusion trees carefully to ensure high-priority survival buffs stack efficiently across all available slots.
- Stockpile empty agglomeration catalysts discovered in ancient dungeon chests for late-game gear customization.
- Distributing customized dual-ability agglomerations to faction teammates fortifies your raiding party before dimensional conquests.
- Utilizing curio agglomeration unlocks unprecedented accessory synergy, pushing character power to legendary heights.
- Customized agglomerated charms distinguish veteran server champions from ordinary novice adventurers.
