Unless you participate.

Also, the set still feels light on aragonite items.

Bead of Binding doesn't feel very "binding" to be healed extra. Also, the power feels pretty weak. Maybe 2 extra points?

Is earcuff of the shanty too good? +2 melee damage on top of bardsong is kind of a lot. Particularly if your bard is playing the current conch.

Lenses of sharpness seems far too good. If you're melee sneaking, you likely don't care about ranged anyhow.

I think I liked lenses of foresight better if it gave you something (+1 hit/damage?) rather than protected you.

Prefer Orca to Sea Troll or Sea Ogre.

Ravager armor is quite good.

Scriber's spectacles feel a little weak, and we definitely don't need more plank.

Remove Woe is going to be the grind stock up option of the future.

Ring of Storms could become Ring of Focus (+1)? Would that be good enough at rare?

I'm assuming the intent is for only fighters to be able to wear the triton set?

Ring of Focus +1 would be a direct reprint of an old UR, but more than a few have thought that was a very weak UR and it's probably time that it be surpassed.

I was sort of angling for that, a la ring of protection +1 long ago.

Focus +1 at rare seems fine.

Would suggest bringing Sacred Light Charm down to +1 healing. As is it's UR-level, imo.

Love Sacred Light Charm and the new Charm of the Doppelganger!

I feel like the latter should include both Wizards though; granted very few human Wizards bother with polymorph anyway since they don't get an innate bonus, but they're still part of the family

It is very class-restricted, it is slotted, and it only benefits healing (not focus) and turning. I could see adding the "if skill test is passed", but taking it from +2 to +1 takes it from a nice item to an okay item.

Earcufff of the Shanty may cause DM’s complications. It will not be on the Party Card but will have to be remembered to add if the bard song is going. For the app it won’t be a problem, but in person will be frequently missed.

Assuming the Red Oaken Bead goes to the Bead transmute, what does the Rum Drinker's Earcuff transmute into? And can one of them be different then Con? Same note as on the transmute page, but we just got the Master Ale bead for + Con, I liked the +2 Str bead much better.

Ring of Treasure Finding - Should this be pushed to 2023? We (currently) only have rare TEs in the same year as our URTEs, and last year we had the Sandals of Humble Reward along with the Nugget.

Pretty sure the +6 fort ring transmutes from the +1 con Earcuff. Would be more intuitive if the +1 con item were ring, not ear i think.

I like it in the earcuff much better and hope it stays

Earcuffs were my introduction to "sometimes you have to remember to tell the DM something or you're going to miss out". I think it's a good way to learn to keep some things in mind.

I don't know if it matters or it it was intentionally part of the set, but there is the uncommon Triton Helm from 2011.
