Star Trek Online Tribble Buffs
In Star Trek Online there is an underground phenomenon happening with The Tribble Market. Tribbles in STO are commonly used for healing yourself while you are in out of ground combat, But what a lot of people are not aware of is that some tribble can give you certain buffs that can persist for an hour even in space combat. For example Ricossa Tribble will give you Dps buff and damage resistance which lasts for an hour. You can buff yourself up with your tribble if you can’t goto the ground just visit your bridge and buff yourself and your good to go.
With your new buffs go do your missions , PVP or do your dailies, you will have the advantage over most of the players that don’t know anything about tribble buffs. It can be difficult to figure out what kind of tribble you are looking at in the Exchange, what you can do is right click on the tribble under the information you are going to see a name type of that tribble, for example on this image you can see that this type of tribble is Polygeminus grex “vitales”. The vitales part of the name is the actual type of tribble. Vitales is actually a self heal type of tribble.
The most common type will be Sparkes, Stahl, Susilo Thompson, Tuffli ,dotson and vitales these are just heal types. But you will find on occasion most likely very expensive double and triple buff types for example Mattson Tribble will give you Health Regen and Dps buffs.
There are basically Four Types of Tribbles:
First type of tribble will heal you out of combat for 1.25 seconds. It has a 6 second recharge.
Second Type of Tribble is a Health Regeneration Tribble that slightly increases your natural regenerative capabilities
Third Type of tribble will Buff you with Damage Resistance buff for an hour, it take 1.25 seconds to activate out of combat. This will increase your natural ability to resist all damage types.
Fourth type of tribble is a DPS Tribble, This is one of my favorite buffs since it works both in space and in ground combat. This tribble boosts your natural production of adrenaline improving your damage capabilities.
As you can see tribbles are just not a useless pets that just heals you or eats all your food and batteries in your bag. If you are luck enough to get a tribble with double or even tripple buffs you are all set since it will buff you with all three types at once.
Just an FYI if you buff yourself say with a tribble that does Damage resistance like the Zinc tribble, And buff yourself with a dps tribble like the Mcarry tribble you will lose your first buff and gain the second. So if you find a rare tribble with more than one buff you are set.
For more information on tribble check out this wiki link which list all types of tribbles and it also has information on breeding tribbles if you so choose.

P.S. If you are a klingon don’t even bother using these tribbles since all they will do is stab you, scream and give you no buffs HAHA. It’s funny to watch thou

I was a sucker for buying the klingon and ferengi unlocks through the C store. Here is the problem, as a klingon, you CANT use the tribble. They freak when you take em out, and maker a very entertaining shrilling noise, but you get NO buff.
I also have a collectors edition copy of STO btw that comes with an exclusive bound to account psychadelic colored tribble, also which loves to make this high pitched squeel.
Just FYI, it works fine with ferengi.
Any other races it does this?
nope only Klingons. Since tribbles almost single handedly almost wiped out the Klingon Empire. There is much hate between them hehe.
[...] Star Trek Tribbles, These furry cute creatures can raise havoc in your inventory eat all your food, batteries etc. But they do have a purpose . Cracking the Tribble code for breeding is a lot simpler than most people make is sound. All it really takes is time and patience. [...]
Hello, nice post. I stumbled upon this blog, but I will definitely come here again. Have a great day.
Thank you for the information provided. The best content I’ve seen on this topic
wow quite a few of the responses many people enter make me giggle, many times over i ask myself whether they truly read the information and threads before writing a comment or whether they only just read the subject of the post and prepare the very first thought that pops into their brain. nonetheless, it really is relaxing to look over sensible commentary every now and then rather than the very same, outdated post vomit which i commonly see on the net
star trek is my favorite movie!
