Talisman Gold Making turns magical fragments into useful Talismans. It requires fragments from Salvaging, so the two skills are often paired together. Talisman Gold Making is taught by trainers found in early chapters. Unlike all other tradeskills, Talisman Gold Making is not taught by a NPC whose title matches the skill: Talisman-making trainers are titled "Hedge Wizard".

How To Make Talismans

First off, get a fragment from Salvaging, the Auction House or for low level fragments, from Merchants. Then collect the basic items needed for a talisman: a container, gold dust and magic essence.

You can also optionally use a curio - while curios are not needed to create a Talisman, they do increase the potential quality of the final product - "That Bar" (see below) will increase its highest point in response to slotting an appropriate curio into a make.

All of these are available on the Hedge Wizard that trained you, though they aren't the highest quality. Standard merchants also carry the basic items. Open the window and put the container in the upper left corner. Next, add your fragment. Then you can add the dust, essence, and a curio if you have one. Hit fuse, and you're done! Note that the box must be inserted in its corresponding slot first, then the fragment. The last three may be inserted in any order.

That Bar

The bar will predict the power of the talisman if all ingredients are in place. Also a text will appear which also states the power of the talisman. (inferior, weak, etc) There are two competing theories. The answer will either have to come out of a grab bag or through statistical analysis of actual cases.
