Questline

Be forewarned, the quest to obtain a Meta Talisman is not for the impatient, frugal or faint of heart! To begin the multi-part quest you must travel just west of the Valor Shrine where the Forgotten Warrior statue awaits:

In order to begin a questline with the Forgotten Warrior statue, you will need to stand on the tile by the foot of the statue and speak any words to it:

Lessons of the Past

Lessons of the Past is a test of Valor in which you must prove your dedication to the arts as a Mythical Craftsman. You must first consult with the Spirits of Great professions of the Past to gain their knowledge and then gain their extraordinary powers into your skilled hands. You must then sacrifice corresponding resources to the tools enchanted by these great Spirits. Only after all the Spirits of the Great Professions are sated, will the Forgotten Warrior provide you with a Talisman of Power.

  1. Spirits of Great Profession: The statue will tell you to visit the spirits of great professions of the past, which will imbue your stone into a tool. Each Spirit is in a location famous for its trade skills, the first is the blacksmith located at the Britain Crafting Area. These spirits will only be visible to you if you are on that part of the questline, no one else will see these spirits. You will need to absorb their knowledge into your stone by double clicking the stone and selecting the Spirit.
  2. Sacrifices to the Tool: The spirits will require a sacrifice of the type of resources commonly used in their great profession. The first is ingots to the blacksmithing profession, which you will have to provide all the ingots requested to the tool by double clicking the tool and selecting a pile of ingots from your bags or from the bank box.
  3. Repetition, Consistency, Success: Once this is fulfilled you will need to show your dedication to the Forgotten Warrior and they will send you to another Spirit of Great Profession to track down and sacrifice the corresponding resources to the tool used by the Spirit of the Great Profession. Once all 8 Great professions have been pacified with the ritual the Forgotten Warrior will offer you the Antique of the Artisan Talisman of Power.

  • When sacrificing resources, you can place the resources in the bank and then use the tool to target the stack in your open bank.

Abandoning a Questline

You can abandon a previously empty or partially completed questline by using the context menu and selecting the "Abandon Quest".

After the context menu option has been selected you will see a prompt that will require you to type "I Agree" into the field then select "Continue".

Mythical Crafting

Antique of the Artisan unlocks Mythical Crafting which allows you to create new rare items. Mythical Crafting requires Mythical Crafting Recipes which can be obtained as loot on Champion Bosses. Recipes can also be obtained at a 100% rate from a Level 7 Treasure Map chest. Once you have a Mythical Crafting Recipe, you can double click it with the character you wish to be able to craft this recipe, which will consume the scroll. Depending on which recipe you use, the Mythical Crafting Recipes will show up in their corresponding crafting menu area. For example a "royal cloak" will show in the "Tailoring Menu" under the "Shirts" Category. At the first level, you can attempt one Mythical Craft every 72 hours, decreasing by 320 minutes each level until, at talisman level 10, you can attempt a Mythical craft every 24 hours.

Some Antique of the Artisan Mythical Crafting recipes shown in the Tailoring Menu, which is accessed by your average sewing kit. The recipes are shown in red, and a message highlighted in purple shows that these recipes are not able to be crafted yet as they are on a cooldown from a previously crafted Mythical Item.

Bulk Order Deeds

When you turn in a filled Bulk Order Deed(BOD) to the appropriate NPC, you have a chance to receive extra rewards if you have an active and equipped Artifact of the Artisan. Currently any BOD turned in with the talisman equipped will have a chance to receive a Small Relic Fragment for the Recycler, Empowerer, Frugality, Imbueologist, or Perfectionist relics. Depending on which type of BOD is turned in while wearing the Artifact of the Artisan, you will have a high chance at either Mythical Thread for Tailoring BOD Rewards or Mythical Resin for Blacksmithing BOD Rewards.

Leveling

Antique of the Artisan has a unique leveling method which grants you experience through crafting. You will only gain experience from crafting the same item 25 times, after which you must change to crafting a different item or wait one hour before gaining experience again on the previously crafted item. Generally speaking, you should do all your regular crafting in the Britain Crafting Area, but this is especially important for leveling your Antique of the Artisan Talisman and its relics. The levels are calculated with a "Base Value" and a "Per Level Power" in the formula: "Base Value" * (Level ^ "Per Level Power"). The Base Value for the talisman is 10000 and the Per Level Power is a factor of 1.3. The following table explains the experience required to gain Talisman Levels:

Level Experience Required
1 10,000
2 24,623
3 41,712

Relics

There are currently 7 relics available for the Antique of the Artisan, most of which are passive and with some that are activatable. Each talisman has a maximum of four active relic slots and you get relic slots at levels: 1, 4, 7, 10.

The Art of the Deal

Relic Type: Passive

The Art of the Deal provides a massive discount off your total purchase only after a purchase has been completed. The chance that this procs is (Relic Level * 0.5)% and it is currently set to give you a 95% discount on the total of the sale. As you can imagine, this can be a significant way to make some profit but before you get too excited, know the chances of procing are quite low. Art of the Deal gains relic experience based on activation.

How to receive Crumbling Relics:

In order to receive Art of the Deal Crumbling Relics, you must attend a seminar located North East of the East Britain Bank. You need to be wearing the Antique of the Artisan Talisman in order to be recognized as someone that can take proper advantage of such deals. If you are identified properly by the man behind the podium, you will be asked to take a seat and listen to the presentation. After some time passes and enough advice is given, a prompt will appear with an offer to purchase the Art of the Deal Crumbling Relic for 200,000 gp. You can continue to receive offers leaving and then attending the seminar again, however please note that Art of the Deal Crumbling Relics cannot be combined with any other relics but themselves. This means you CAN NOT use them for Relic Fragment Systems like the Carapace Relic which accepts other crumbling relics for points. However, you can still use the Transmutation Cube to combine them into Art of the Deal Flawed Relics to gain maximum levels beyond level 6.

Relic Type: Active/Passive

Passive Cooldown: 1 second

Empowerer is both a passive and activatable relic that first stores an Empower Charge (shown on your active ability bar for each exceptional quality weapon you craft) and then allows to apply your Empower Charges to any non-blessed wearable armor or clothing. You can currently stack 1000 Empowerment charges. Empowered items amplify any player-vs-monster(PVM) damage dealt by the wearer for 1 second for every charge applied so they’re a valuable tool for player-vs-monster(PVM) combat!

Tips, Tricks, and Templates

If you have leveled this talisman, please post some tips and tricks in the #wiki-requests channel in Discord so we can add them to this section!

A common template for this talisman is a pure crafter:

  • 120 Blacksmithing, 120 Tinkering, 120 Carpentry, 120 Tailoring, 120 Fletching, 120 Inscription
    • Since Inscription is often used in pvp, you could leave that off your crafter and replace it with 100 magery and 20 meditation for utility. The same goes for alchemy.
    • Magery and Music could also be used on the crafter if you want to craft music instruments or the pentagram house add-on.

As with the Idol of Forbidden Magic, this talisman does not have the restrictions against barding or taming skills, however, there isn't a desirable template with crafting and taming/barding.

The Antique of the Artisan is the only talisman that is allowed to be leveled afk and can also be used in a house.

Like the other talismans, the Arms Lore Minimum Hit Chance baseline does apply to the Antique of the Artisan but it is not likely that a crafter would have need for it.
