I didn't have any Trinket in my inventory when the event triggered. All I remember was the text being glitched out. It didn't specifically say 'The Glove of Passage was ruined', it said 'The [glitched text] was ruined'. Sorry I can't be of much help on this one.

Fixed it! Your [glitched text] tip actually woke me up to what was happening. Thank you! The game was actually searching your inventory for Trinkets, but going 1 slot beyond the size of your inventory, where it would encounter random data. In your case, that random data was labeled a trinket, and it screwed things up. The same exact error existed in the Curdled Brews and Rotworms events, too. A circumstance that usually would present no problem (even though it's always wrong), but in your case hit that perfect storm to light up the error. Thanks again!
