Talisman league has begun!
Talisman league will run from December 11, 2015 to March 4, 2016.
Contribute to the community by helping update the wiki.
Featured: Talismans
Talismans are new amulets introduced with the Talisman challenge leagues.
Talismans are found possessing monsters, lending them special powers. Defeat them to claim their talismans.
All talismans are inherently corrupted, but offer powerful implicit modifiers.
At a stone circle, five different talismans of the same tier can be sacrificed to summon a monster possessed by a talisman of the next tier.
Sacrificing five tier 3 talismans opens a portal to the den of Rigwald, the Wolven King.

Itemisation
Magic and rare items have random affixes that determine their modifiers.
