Switch Trinkets downgrading

So it wasn't only me, then. I've had the same thing happening to me on my main save.

A void frog egg that I'd been so proud of, suddenly shows up as a red frog, all the while the description still reads it as a void frog egg while my fairy trinket that was also formerly a level 5, not only got downgraded to level 2 but looks different as well.

Much like with the void frog, I'd been so happy with my fairy on that save since she resembled my character and reminded me of Tinkerbell. I was honestly on the verge of tears when I first opened that save and noticed those changes. 😭
I also wanted to cry about my fairy box!! I forged it back up to level 4, but am too scared to try for 5 again until I have an extra.

Yes, no spoilers but there are other colors too. I got lucky and only had to re-forge a few times to get another void froggie and one more fun color.
Oh, I’m fully spoiled. I’ve been playing for about 5 years. My wife and I had only gotten the same three colors in both of our saves. We just figured the other ones were bugged out on switch.

I haven't even touched the save in question ever since I first realized and "rage quit" my game that time due to having been too upset and, tbh, scared.

You should wait for sure!!! That sounds like the best idea. Better to have backup, just in case. Getting them all the way up to level 5 is such a pain. 😭

Fingers crossed that ConcernedApe and his team who work on console updates fix this.

Thanks for this info! So do we expect them to keep this new frog colors, fairy etc.? My initial reservation in not touching my Void, Prismatic Frogs etc. is so I want to avoid this ended up getting treated as a "bug" and then this current randomization is rolled back to restore the old colors for Frogs and Fairies only. If CA and dev are willing to accept this change as a one-time occurrence with no intention of rolling it back to the older colors - I will proceed with rerolling my frogs to Void, Prismatic for the current randomization then!
Hey all! Just wanted to pop in and verify that this is indeed expected (unfortunately), as part of the fix for the bad luck streaks on Switch. It's the last platform to have this change, and was needed to fix the rain and other luck based issues & match how it works on PC, mobile, and all other consoles.

To answer this question, after this patch, it should not change again, so you should be safe to reroll any trinkets now and expect that it will be final.

Losing Tinkerbell broke me, ngl. We're in this together, friend!!! 😩 🙏🏽

Then, when I played again yesterday and went on more dungeon dives, I finally found some more frog eggs.

I hadn't touched my void frog egg and simply left it in a chest, made the mistake, as I only know now, to place my newly acquired red frog egg into that same chest - the void frog egg having newly been displayed as that same color when put into the trinket slot- then, boom, the next thing I know, I officially got two red frog eggs, no void frog egg in sight anymore. 😭 💔
