Description

The Meta Talisman is an item obtained by completing a quest line. It's a wearable object that transforms from a stone during it's quest line. The Meta Talisman gives warrior, archer, and mage style players special abilities as their talisman levels. Talismans level up as you kill creatures and the abilities of your talisman become stronger. They offer various bonuses and unique skills to the wielder. With these bonuses come some limitations: the talisman cannot be equipped by any character with greater than 50 musicianship or greater than 50 taming. Upon equipping a talisman there is a fifteen minute cooldown before experience can be gained or any skills or bonuses become active. There are also armor and distance restrictions for each type. The talisman skills and bonuses are not applicable to players or pets in most cases. Experience gain and skill gain is not possible in houses. To gain experience the creatures cannot be under bard influence and must be actively attacking the wearer of the talisman or no other target. Lastly there is a maximum experience amount per creature that can be awarded to a given talisman. Once the cap is reached no more experience can be gained from fighting that creature. There are a maximum of 4 relic skill slots and an aesthetic relic slot. The aesthetic slot is usable at any time and you get relic slots at levels: 1, 4, 7, 10.
