Acquire Darktide trinkets (charms, curios, cosmetics) efficiently through these primary methods:
1. Emperor's Gift (Mission Rewards)
Completing missions triggers a post-match reward roll. Higher difficulties significantly increase chances for higher rarity items, including trinkets.

- Speed: Prioritize Quickplay and missions with Mutant/Scanner conditions.
2. Crafting Resources & Hadron
Convert Plasteel and Diamantine into items at the Shrine of the Omnissiah.
- Buy Curios: Directly purchase curios using resources.
- Cosmetics: Exchange resources for cosmetic chests at the Armoury Exchange after character level 15.
3. Melk's Requisitorium
The primary source for high-tier curios and unique cosmetics.
- Requires: Weekly Contracts (Level 30).
- Cost: Earn Melk's Coin (Melkbucks) from contracts.
- Check Daily: Stock resets daily, with specific curios and cosmetics cycling in.
4. Commodore's Vestures (Premium Shop)
Sells cosmetic bundles and individual items for Aquilas (premium currency).
- Stock Rotates: Check periodically for new offers.
- Aquilas: Purchased with real money, not earnable in-game.
5. Sire Melk's Catalogue
Limited selection available for standard Ordo Dockets (earned from any mission).
- Level-Gated: Higher character levels unlock better selections.
- Check Often: Stock refreshes regularly.
Fastest Path Summary: Grind Heresy/Damnation missions for Emperor's Gifts and resources → Complete Melk's Contracts diligently → Check Melk's Requisitorium daily → Spend crafting resources wisely.
