Upcoming Talisman changes

Thought you would all like to see the upcoming changes to Talisman (1.2) changes.


Scavenging
Scavenging has been adjusted slightly in version 1.2, with the primary change being the removal of a number of Apothecary determinants and the addition of a number of Talisman fragments. This will allow Scavengers to successfully skill up their Talisman crafting skill without needing a second gathering skill.
* Talisman-Making fragments can now be Scavenged.
* Talisman-Making boxes have been added to harvest drop tables.
* Scavenging drop rates have been improved.
* Cultivation additives have been removed.
* Apothecary ingredients have been removed.


Salvaging
Salvaging has been adjusted slightly in version 1.2, with the primary changes focusing on improving the rate at which Salvagers can skill up. In addition, the results from Salvaging have been adjusted so Salvagers can successfully skill up their Talisman crafting skill without needing a second gathering skill.
* Players can now skill up even if they fail to Salvage a fragment.
* Fragment figurines have been introduced. Salvaging these items will allow a player to skill-up without risking valuable magical equipment in the process. These can be found from PQ rewards.
* Gold Dust has been added to Salvage tables.
* The improved user interface will now notify the player of a successful Salvage.
* Players will now receive a Fragment, a Magic Essence, and a Gold Dust on a successful Salvage.

Talisman Crafting
Talisman crafting has been adjusted moderately in version 1.2, with the primary changes focusing on allowing players to create Talismans without needing a large number of additional components. In addition, we have reduced the potency of all Resistance Talismans in order to bring them in-line with other Talisman bonuses.
* Resistance Talismans have had their effect reduced by 50%.
* Talisman crafting will now only require a Fragment and Container to successfully craft a Talisman. Components have been made optional and will continue to increase the power of the Talisman.
* New Containers have been added for Talisman making.
