Trinkets and Titles

As you rise in fame, the villagers will give you trinkets for a little extra luck. If you have at least one trinket and you roll a 1 on defense, the roll is changed to the maximum roll, and one of your trinkets gets used up. The villagers will give you one trinket for each of your first 5 fame levels, plus another trinket for every 5 fame levels after that.

Your increase in fame will also cause the villagers to refer to you with more respect, as described below:
