Best Trinkets for Arcane Mage in Midnight Season 1
Every current dungeon and raid trinket, simulated on the standard Arcane Mage profile with SimulationCraft and ranked by single-target DPS across upgrade tracks. Refreshed weekly with the latest engine build.
As of July 15, 2026, Vaelgor's Final Stare (The Voidspire) leads Arcane Mage single-target at Myth track (item level 289), 1.3% ahead of Gaze of the Alnseer and 1.8% ahead of Emberwing Feather. 21 trinkets from current dungeons and raids were simulated at 4 item levels each.
These are template-character averages. Your talents, tier pieces and second trinket change the
ranking — sometimes a lot. For a decision about your character, run the free
Droptimizer
on your own profile; it takes about a minute.

DPS gain bar: trinket's contribution over an empty trinket slot at Myth track (289). Differences within ~0.4% are statistical noise — treat close trinkets as tied (what target error means).
Methodology
- Profile: the SimC project's canonical MID1 Arcane Mage profile (MID1_Mage_Arcane.simc), with both trinket slots emptied as baseline.
- Simulation: each trinket equipped alone in slot 1 at item levels 250, 263, 276, 289 — fight style Patchwerk, 300s fight, target error 0.4%.
- Engine: SimulationCraft, current Midnight Season 1 build; the identical engine runs in this site's in-browser simulator.
- Raw data: data.json for this page.
