Talisman League Mechanics

With all the Hype I can't help but think that this will be the league to try certain builds that have need of Enabling uniques in the Amulet slot. I imagine getting Astramentis for Whispering Ice will be easier than usual, Stones Eyes and such will likely be less in demand.

Oh and assume the known decent Physical Caster or Chaos damage related stuff will have a noticeable mark-up, of course many people are looking to try out the new cool toys

woah woah woah
slow the fuck down
so what youre saying is, that the magic talisman will be better than the normal ones and the RARE TALISMAN will be even better because they can have more mods???

"then you can summon a portal to fight Rigvald, the Wolven King."

"Needless to say, if you're able to chain unique Talismans up from the first tier, Rigwald is able to drop a unique fourth-tier Talisman."

"rewards of the eventual Rigwald encounter. "

Unique item: "Rigvald's charge"

Is it "Rigwald" or "Rigvald"?
Maybe he's like Shakespeare and changes his name occassionally.



If you place low itemlevel talismans in a high zone-level stone circle, you'll fight a hard monster for a low itemlevel talisman.
But! What if you farm normal difficulty for *unique* talismans? Do any talisman base types (and hence, uniques) have an itemlevel requirement?

Do parties of players get 1 talisman per player or one talisman total?

I survived Invasion!

Rakanishu does not approves killing of guardians of Stone Circle!

Sounds fun enough, I'm in. Can't wait to know the balance changes. ty gl hf :P

Spoiler

The talismans have more powerful implicit mods than regular amulets, and magic/rare ones can have the same explicit mods as regular amulets. So it can have "+1 maximum zombies" on top of life, resists, cast speed... It's a little like corrupting an item for a good implicit.

You get "tier 1" talismans from monsters, and can forge higher tier talismans with stronger implicits by using "stone circles." And, of course, high tier talismans can be magic/rare. See OP for details.

Right over your head

A few questions:

Do unique bosses try to pick up talismans?

Does the rarity of talismans consumed increase the difficulty of the monster(s)? Rigwald specifically.

Have some of the unique talismans already been designed? Will additional unique talismans be added after the league has gone live?

Does a monster possessed by a talisman have a higher iir/iiq than a normal monster?

Most importantly: Do stone circles appear in maps?
