The difference here is that instead of fire, water, and dust crafting components, we need runes, which come in two flavors: Glyph quality and rarity depends on the glyph toolkit, just as we talked about in the talisman section above. Once a glyph has been added to an item, it's there for good until you overwrite it with another glyph. In terms of recovering glyphs and glyph crafting materials during disassembly, well, you can't. While you can add glyphs to any item with a glyph slot regardless of quality level, it's worth noting that the bonus granted depends on the QL of the glyph (with higher numbers being more desirable). Glyph quality level and rarity level falls onto the familiar one to 10 and green-blue-purple scales, respectively. Glyphs also give rise to item prefixes, so the difference between a hammer and a ferocious hammer is that the latter bears a glyph and thus some sort of stat boost. Glyphs are kind of like gems in more traditional MMOs in that they are stat bonus items that may be added to talismans to achieve various effects.

While it's great that we know how to make talismans now, we're still pretty weak without some glyphs to augment them. Unfortunately I haven't found an in-game reference for talisman patterns like the weapon-related screenshot I posted in part one, so you'll have to make do with my crude Photoshop skills for now. When we do that, the window lights up and we can simply press the button and enjoy our new talisman. As with our weapon last week, we need to arrange the materials in the correct pattern and then drop the toolkit in the appropriate assembly window slot. Once we have all the materials, it's time to assemble the talisman. What are the differences between head, neck, belt, and all the other talisman slots? That's a lengthy article in its own right, and a player named Yokai has written the definitive talisman guide that I strongly encourage you to study. So, if we want our theoretical QL8 purple DPS talisman to go in the head slot, we need 12 sacred fire crafting materials and a purple QL8 talisman toolkit. Head talismans require 12 materials, neck and belt talismans require 10, and finger, occult, luck, and wrist slots require eight crafting materials. The last thing you need to know is how much sacred fire material, right? That's easy, but it depends on which type of talisman slot you want to fill.
Also note from the previous section that you'll need sacred crafting materials for QL8 - in this case, sacred fire since we're aiming for a DPS talisman. If you're wanting a QL8 DPS talisman, you'll need a QL8 talisman toolkit, preferably a purple one if you can afford it. Fire-based talismans boost your DPS, dust talismans boost your healing powers, and water-based talismans boost your tanking capabilities.Īs mentioned in the toolkit section above, you need one toolkit to make one talisman, and its quality and rarity level will determine the quality/rarity level of the resulting talisman. In terms of crafting materials, talismans require fire, dust, or water, and these components determine the talisman's role. Sure, you can buy one off the auction house, and you may get an occasional lucky drop, but why not put all that loot you've collected to good use in the meantime? Before we get to glyphs, though, we need to make a talisman. QL7 - 8 kits: sacred crafting materialsįinally, you can acquire toolkits via the auction house, mob drops, and various Council of Venice NPC vendors.Īs I mentioned, talismans are essentially your avatar's armor in The Secret World, and customizing your talismans with the appropriate glyphs for your preferred role makes up a large part of the title's theorycrafting metagame.QL4 - 6 kits: normal crafting materials.QL2 - 3 kits: imperfect crafting materials.The material requirements for each toolkit QL are as follows: For example, a QL6 blue weapon toolkit will make a blue QL6 weapon provided you're using the appropriate crafting materials (recall from part one that TSW's crafting materials are metal, fire, dust, water, and runes). A certain QL (and rarity level) toolkit can be used to make an item with the corresponding QL and rarity level. These weapon, talisman, and consumable kits are colored according to their rarity (from green to blue to purple). They come in four flavors: weapon kits, talisman kits, consumable kits, and glyph kits. I touched on toolkits when we made our QL8 shotgun last week, but it was suggested that I explain them in further detail, so here goes.
