WoWCarry's alpha datamining for The War Within turned up legendary trinkets tied directly to Brann Bronzebeard, the designated Delve companion for Season 1. What sets these trinkets apart from standard legendary gear is their unique connection to Brann himself. The flavor text reads "entrusted to you by Brann Bronzebeard himself," suggesting players unlock it by reaching a significant friendship or reputation milestone with the explorer.
While information was scarce at the early alpha stage, these trinkets appear to be end-game rewards aimed at players deeply invested in Delve content. Whether other areas like Mythic+ dungeons would receive similar legendary pieces remained to be seen — but the design space hinted at a broader companion-gear system.
A second legendary trinket was discovered closely tied to Brann. Unlike the player-held trinket, this one is equipped through the Delve Companion interface and is designed specifically for Brann, enhancing his capabilities during mini-adventures. Think of it as similar to the equipment for Order Hall Companions in Legion: an extra boost for tackling the deepest Delves without directly increasing the player's power.
This companion trinket lacks the usual level requirements, vendor price, and flavor text. Its sole purpose is to improve Brann's effectiveness. Additional customization options appeared available, similar to special gear pieces that can be equipped on Delve companions to fulfill specific roles such as tanking, DPS, or healing.
Legendary trinkets are only part of the reward picture for Delve enthusiasts. The datamining revealed a range of unique cosmetic rewards, including a customizable flying machine mount. As more alpha data came in, players could look forward to a full reward roster built around Delve difficulty tiers and Brann's progression track.
Players looking to jump into The War Within content at the right character level can explore WoW character boost options to arrive ready for Season 1 Delves from day one.
The legendary trinkets tied to Brann Bronzebeard add a compelling layer to The War Within's Delve system. The idea of a designated companion with powerful enhancements creates a new strategic dimension — and the companion-specific trinket slot signals that Blizzard intended Brann to feel like a meaningful co-combatant rather than a passive follower. Gear up, choose your Delve, and let Brann lead the way.
