Clicky

A clicky is a magic item that, when activated, casts a spell or effect.

Randomly generated clickies usually come with a number of charges/rest equal to either 1, 3 or 5, and cast a spell at the minimum caster level required to obtain it. Artificers gain a class feature which allows them to use clickies at a higher caster level.

The minimum level to use randomly generated clickies is equal to spell level if the item has 3 charges. It is 2 levels lower for single charge clickies, and 2 levels higher for 5 charge clickies.

Named items can come with a different number of charges, different caster level, and different minimum level.

Clickies can be any armor or helmet but are most common on rings, belts and other accessories.

Not all spells can be found on clickies, but a number of useful ones can be found, if you farm enough.

Sources of clickies
Randomly generated clickies used to drop in any chest; however, after Update 19 (?), this is no longer the case. As of March 2014, clickies can be found:
 * Pregenerated at the Marketplace brokers - ML1, i.e. three charges of a level 1 spell or a single charge of a level 2 spell - unbound
 * In the quest chain end rewards (Delera's, Threnal, STK, Tangleroot, perhaps even Waterworks, and more) - bound to account
 * Also in the 2-quest chain end rewards in Three-Barrel Cove - not sure about binding status
 * In the quest rewards for The Sharn Syndicate - bound to account
 * Trading in Antique Bronze Tokens will have a chance to give unbound clickies
