The Delosian Talisman Shop!

We're going to be moving forward with this plan, we're big fans of the availability that it offers to our talisman system.

The HISTORICAL talisman set will be available in the shop for the duration of this month! (March 2019) HELP HISTORICAL TALISMANS now exists too!

Talisman sets will not be placed in the talisman shop for at least eight months after their initial release.

We will also attempt to leave at least a two month gap between the end of the month they were last seen in a promotion and the time they enter the shop, though certain events or such may dictate some fluidity here.

Certain sets will not be placed in the shop. These sets are the following (with relevant reasoning):
- Conclave: we feel there is too much crossover with other artefacts here, and while the robes of the grand magi are a very good item, we're inclined to say this one just wouldn't work in the talisman shop format. If there is high demand we can revisit alternative options at a later date.

- Wonders: we're more likely to recycle these items through the Shop of Wonders proper, as having them in two shops is somewhat redundant.

- Yggdrasil: we are happy to leave these as obtainable in game via questing (and will add partial completes for them at a later date after some discussion to facilitate this better).

- Seafaring: this set won't be featured in the talisman shop until we've had a chance to evaluate its content and function in relation to today's seafaring.

We're also discussing whether we can fit certain sets into a more contextually appropriate format for their themes, such as Black Wave and Underworld. As an example, with no basis in what may or may not happen, Underworld pieces could become similar to Yggdrasil ones, and available via engaging with the Underworld content. (Again, this isn't a guarantee.)

Enjoy!

Penned by My hand on the 17th of Lupar, in the year 794 AF.
