Talismans

Introduction
Talismans are permanent items that grant effects to your team by just being in your inventory. They start at rank 1, and can be upgraded to increase their rank and effect that they have. New powers for your talismans can unlock when they reach rank 100.

Finding Talismans
Each god offers their own unique talisman for sale upon reaching Deified (6) favor. Talismans available for purchase cost 100 of that god's emblems. Some are found under special conditions such as from certain bosses or via the arena. Ten more are found randomly in normal loot like chests and these can be the hardest to find.

Having trouble finding these elusive talismans? Try buying and upgrading Tartarith's Hatred from Deified(6) Tartarith shop first. The increased loot from Nemesis creatures and greatly increased loot from Itherian boss chests at rank 100 will help to find random talismans much faster. Gonfurian's Beckoning from Deified(6) Gonfurian shop will have a similar effect. You will kill far more Nemesis creatures and open far more Itherian boss chests than complete Realm Quests so Tartarith's Hatred is higher priority.

Still having trouble? The game altering NPC CJ, unlocked as Friden's Revered reward, can help. With CJ you can increase the difficulty of enemy encounters in exchange for increased loot. The increased loot will help to find random talismans much faster, just like the god purchased loot talismans. You can even make enemies much stronger for greatly increased loot and go back to a realm level where their increased levels still match your own. This way you can still fight enemies your level AND get the increased loot bonus.

Upgrading Talismans
After finishing an Itherian Realm, Umaro will offer three chances to upgrade a talisman in your inventory. The success chance of these upgrades depends on the level of realm completed vs the rank of your talisman. You can also upgrade talismans by spending rune powder at the Runemaster. Rune powder is acquired by grinding your runes using the Arcane Refinery.
