Stockings!

Love the new talisman set reading from news post, haven't got any stockings, gonna get some clarification first. 

So we have 4 types of stockings, logomas, fancy, grand, extravagant. 

My question is: each stocking will have at least 1 talisman piece. Does better stockings get more pieces, or higher value pieces? 

Need accurate information on this, don't like guesses any more. Thanks.

    The way this works is:

    - As you go up the stocking tiers, your base rarity goes up. What this functionally means is your chances at better pieces is higher because the pool of targets gets smaller (you will have no chance at pulling a brooch of the tempest or an air elemental in an extravagant stocking for instance, because your base rarity is simply too high). That's an extreme example, but I imagine that should make how that part works clear.

    - You have a chance at getting an extra talisman piece in every type of stocking. The chance of that ranges from low (normal stockings) to guaranteed (extravagant).

    - Additionally, as you go up the stocking tiers your stockings "value" goes up. This means what you pull alongside your talisman pieces will be better. The value of your talisman piece does detract from this, but there is also a cap on how much that can knock off your worth - so pulling a harness piece won't destroy your stockings value for instance.

    Thank you so much @Makarios !

    I'm confused - if the Extravagant is the highest tier stocking, why wouldn't it be able to get those highly valued prizes? 

    Maybe I don't grok what 'base rarity' means?

    Because items valued at like 38 (150/4)  or 60 credits are not worth as much as items valued at like 400 credits (1/4 of 1600 or whatever it is)

    Basically its what Kiet said. The prizes I listed are the ones worth very little in terms of credit value - extravagant stockings limit themselves to the prizes that are guaranteed a higher payout, because of the upfront cost of purchasing one of those particular stockings.

    The awkward moment when you hang a stocking anonymously for someone and it still bears your mark. lol

    I bought 5 of the fancy stockings for 74 USD.

    My return was ~500 credits worth of talisman tradeins/sales, two permanent tattoos and an artie vial. Worthhhhhh.

    The harness will be owner-only, presuming?

    Two $5 stockings:


    You have been awarded with The lightning for an Air Elemental talisman piece!

    You open a logosmas stocking and find 10 Humgii betting tickets, a wooden box of parts, 1311 gold sovereigns, 1715 gold sovereigns, a group of 19 bloodroot leaves, and a group of 19 ginseng roots inside!


    You have been awarded with The essence for an Air Elemental talisman piece!

    You open a logosmas stocking and find a featureless ice figurine, a group of 10 coal pieces, a group of 10 coal pieces, and a group of 7 pieces of rope inside!


    Laughed so hard at the coal! But overall definitely worth it!

    I definitely think that this months promo will be mich better than the previous two months. 

    Can’t afford too many, but I might indulge in a few to give out as Christmas presents!

    Harness looks amazingly good, although does it also allow the return flight? Can people follow you?

  • AegothAegoth
    Harness only works on islands, not on Sapience
  • KlendathuKlendathu Eye of the Storm
    Oh, to fly from island to island, not from mainland to island?

    Tharos, the Announcer of Delos shouts, "It's near the end of the egghunt and I still haven't figured out how to pronounce Clean-dat-hoo."
  • AegothAegoth
    yea, and you can only get to the specified islands from one of the islands listed on that specific windstream
  • KlendathuKlendathu Eye of the Storm
    Still good for collecting Azatlani talisman pieces, eg atlatl. @Aegoth, get me a harness and I'll get you atltal :D

    Alright, you get me a harness and I'll get you atlatl. I'll GIVE atlatls to anyone who gets me a harness ;)

    You don't even know how to kill people with atlatls. Back off

    I killed you, yo. And Mezghar. And ....

    You never killed me with an atlatl. Keep dreaming!

    Not bad for £19. Completed the Air Elemental afterwards too

  • DochithaDochitha
    Tried Extravagant:
    You have been awarded with The wood for a mineral-crusted shovel talisman piece!
    You have been awarded with The enchantment for a shackle of Garash talisman piece!
    You open an extravagant stocking and find Lesser Stone of Wonder and a group of 17 valerian leaves
    inside!

    You really lucked out on the sceptre piece. 250 credits if you redeem it, but can likely sell it for more.

    It has no redeem value. I checked. Brooch is 18 mandible 25 pendant 25 glyph 106 scepter 0
  • TelendriethTelendrieth
    I'll buy that glyph piece from you if you're parting with it. :P  Also, you should maybe bug the redeem value on that.

    Speaking of the glyph, anyone complete one yet?
