My wizard illusionist has a tricorn hat as his bonded object (skulls and shackles)
Nothing?
Tricorn hat? Is that the pirate hat?
My wizard has a lowly Ring of Protection +1 for now. But I a just became level 4.
Well a tricorn (and bicorn) hat is those revolutionary war/ what those British marines wear in pirates of the carribean (as well as some pirates). It's become sort of iconic with anything having to do with early firearms, especially after the invention of the musket.
When a musket would trigger, there would be a spark/explosion by the hammer thing. Tricorn and bicorn hats were created to avoid flaming hat syndrome.

My grippli conjurer, Thelyn Cabor, has a staff of swarming insects, from which stray flies often emerge for which he can snack from.
On the other hand, my elf diviner, Corral Styne, bound her deceased husband's soul into her ring of telekinesis (making it intelligent), allowing the two of them to be together forever.
The best use for any arcane bonded item, I find, is to make it an intelligent item capable of taking its own actions. The above-mentioned "ring of memory" for example, can make use of its telekinesis ability EVERY round in addition to Corral's normal allotted actions. Totally beats a familiar with a wand (and is effectively an item familiar).
Anything just creative or flavorful?
I also like the staff of insects or whatever
My wizard is still using an old masterwork ring that he's had since pre level 1. However, he has enhanced it along the way... it is now a:
- ring of protection +1
- ring of sustenance
- ring of arcane signets
all at the same time :)
My eldritch knight bonded his longsword. Had fun using hand of the apprentice to slice into foes Jedi-style.
