Please, please, please say it is. Darkshrines are so much fun

the hardest thing will be to get used to the lower reward level as you set really high with dark shrines.

quality gems to 20% in one go, spawning shrines, tempests, exiles and boxes and more on demand was making the game much easier although my progress wasn't that much faster than in previous leagues and i'm not really richer than before.

q: after dark shrines ended, could jonathan please take the time to correct the wiki with the missing affixes for some shrine effects?

I honestly think the talisman should have occupied its own unique item slot.
Occupying the amulet slot makes it overlap too much with amulets and will either make amulets completely useless, or talismans will be a gimmick. Both alternatives sound terrible.

As is, i dont think i will play this league a lot, the talisman "mechanic" looks too lackluster with it occupying the amulet slot.

125 talismans seems insane for Rigwald. I'll play this league, I want to fight him. When this gets gates behind Zana or a random event, it's going to be hard as fuck to fight him.

You accumulate 125 Talismans surprisingly fast! For a start, you're getting an average of one per area (with the ability to farm them pretty easily), and secondly, anyone who doesn't want to engage with Rigwald is offloading their spare ones in trade.

So, another RNG fest? I'm self found, not trading player, so I see, that as usual, nothing interesting here for me.

Will keep to Standard as usual probably. Especially that this Talismans league is visibly just filler for traders before next expansion.

So for me, more interesting question is: Will talismans be moved to core game after temp league?

rip amulets

Rng inside rng inside rng, all hail RNGesus!

The amount of grind necessary to fight Rigvald even once takes a lot of the excitement away from this league for me. Besides, it makes playing as a group less interesting since it just increases the time to farm enough talismans for everybody.

Helm, evasive maneuvers! Set course for Dwarf Fortress!
