Note to readers- this thread started about a year ago. It paints a dismal picture but doesn't present any hard figures. In the last year I and others have taken a statistical look at some of the random drops and noted that it takes thousands of observations to notice a different drop rate in anything. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REALLY SAY THAT A TALISMAN DOES OR DOSEN'T WORK AS ADVERTIZED DURING THE LENGTH OF THE TALISMAN. You may run a 25% bonus talisman but experience a slump and actually get less of a drop than the standard drop rate would predict. But statistically you you will get more (check that by running the talisman and location 5000 times).

What I am saying is- these things are put into computer code and play-tested. Expect that they work as advertised and enjoy your game play. If you feel that a talisman doesn't work that is entirely possible as a computer or documentation error but you will never be able to prove it. Why deny others the benefit of the talisman simply because you were unlucky and told everyone not to use the thing?

Ok, I'm done. Feel free to return to your normally scheduled soap box.
