Talismans

Talismans are special tools that last for a certain time period. Talismans can be used to help play Hidden Object Locations or Puzzle games. Talismans are found in your inventory and can be activated at any time directly from the Talisman tab in the Inventory Window.

There are four main Talisman types in the game: Experience Talismans; Luck Talismans; Money Talismans; and Energy Talismans. There are three different strength Talismans available for each Talisman type.

In addition, there are also Artifacts, which are very strong Talismans that must be combined using Collections, much like Collections are combined using Collection items.

Finding Talismans
Talismans can be won as rewards for combining certain Collections and as rewards for completing Achievements. If you are stuck, Talismans can also be bought for Rubies in the Store.

Using Talismans
To use a Talisman press the Inventory icon at the bottom of your Darkwood Town Map. The Talisman Tab is the first tab in the Inventory, and is usually open by default. In the list of Tabs at the top of the Inventory Window, Talismans are represented by the Owl Figurine.

Scroll through your available Talismans and press on the one you want to use. This will bring up an Information box describing the Talisman; what it does; and where it can be found in the game. Press the green "Use" button to activate the Talisman or the red "Cancel" button to go back to the list of Talismans (you can also use the brown 'x' in the top right of the Information box to exit without activating the Talisman).

You can use one of each type of Talisman (or Artifact) at the same time, so you can potentially have 8 Talismans and Artifacts running at the same time.

However, only one Talisman of each type can be used at a time, and a Talisman cannot be used at the same time as an Artifact with the same function. For example you can use an Owl Figurine (+15% Experience points for 30 minutes) and a Luck Coin (+20% coins for 30 minutes) at the same time since they have different funtions. But you cannot use a Lucky Coin at the same time as a Piggy Bank (+25% Coins for 90 minutes) or a Magic Ingot (+100% Coins for 2 hours) or a Midas Touch Artifact (+50% Coins for 24 hours) as they have the same function.

The only exception to this rule is the Fortune Pearl, the special Talisman you win by opening the game for 25 days in a row. The Fortune Pearl increases your chances of winnin items by 12% (Luck) and increases Coins won by 12% (Money) for 10 days when activated, but you can still use other Luck and Money Talismans during the 10 days that the Fortune Pearl is activated.

Experience Talismans
Experience Talismans increase the amount of Experience points you earn for winning Hidden Object or Puzzle games by a certain percentage for set period of time.


 * Owl Figurine: The Owl Figurine increases the number Experience points earned for winning Hidden Object and Puzzle games by 15% for 30 minutes. Owl Figurines are given as rewards for the Achievements. Owl Figurines can also be won by combining certain Collections or purchased for Rubies in the Store.
 * Ancient Scroll: The Ancient Scroll increases the number of experience points earned for winning Hidden Object and Puzzle games by 20% for 90 minutes. Ancient Scrolls are rewards for the Achievements. Ancient Scrolls can also be won by combining certain Collections or purchased for Rubies in the Store.
 * Magic Folio: The Magic Folio increases the number of experience points earned for winning Hidden Object and Puzzle games by 100% for 2 hours. Magic Folios are rewards for the Achievements. Magic Folios can also be purchased for Rubies in the Store.

Luck Talismans
Luck Talismans increase the odds for winning items as rewards for winning Hidden Object or Puzzle games by a certain percentage for set period of time. Luck Talismans do not help you find Hidden Objects within Locations. Luck Talismans also do not increase the odds of winning a particular item (such as a quest item), they simply increase the odds of receiving ANY items for winning Hidden Object and Puzzle games.

Typically using a Luck Talisman will increase the number of Collection items and Fixers you win after successfully completing a game. Since the number of items you win is bigger, the odds of you winning the item you need are increased. However, the items you win are still randomly generated so there is no guarantee that you will win a specific item you are looking for.


 * All-Seeing Eye: The All-Seeing Eye increases the chances of finding objects when exploring Locations by 25% for 30 minutes. All-Seeing Eyes are rewards for the Achievements. All-Seeing Eyes can also be won by combining certain Collections, or purchased for Rubies in the Store.
 * Eagle Eye: The Eagle Eye increases the chances of finding objects by 30% for 90 minutes. Eagle-Eyes are rewards for the Achievements. Eagle Eyes can also be won by combining certain Collections, or purchased for Rubies in the Store.
 * Seeker's Star: The Seeker's Star increases the chances of finding objects by 90% for 2 hours. Seeker's Stars are rewards for the Achievements. Seeker's Stars can also be purchased for Rubies in the Store

Money Talismans
Money Talismans increase the amount of Coins you earn as rewards for winning Hidden Object or Puzzle games by a certain percentage for set period of time.


 * Lucky Coin: The Lucky Coin increases the number of Coins earned for winning Hidden Object or Puzzle games by 20% for 30 minutes. All-Seeing Eyes are rewards for the Achievements. All-Seeing Eyes can also be won by combining certain Collections, or purchased for Rubies in the Store.
 * Piggy Bank: The Piggy Bank increases the number of Coins earned for winning Hidden Object or Puzzle games by 25% for 90 minutes. They are rewards for the Achievements. Piggy Banks can also be won by combining certain Collections or purchased for Rubies in the Store.
 * Magic Ingot: The Magic Ingot increases the number of Coins earned for winning Hidden Object or Puzzle games by 100% for 2 hours. Magic Ingots are rewards for the Achievements. Magic Ingots can also be purchased for Rubies in the Store.

Energy Talismans
Energy Talismans increase the rate of renewal of Energy Points (needed to play Hidden Object Locations and Puzzle games) by a certain rate for a set period of time.

Typically, Energy restores at a rate of 1 Energy point every 3 minutes. Using Energy Talismans speeds up the 3 minutes timer for a new Energy point to be created. The timer still starts at 3 minutes, but counts down faster and so takes less than 3 minutes to reach zero and restore a new Energy point.

If you reach your current Maximum Energy, then the count down timer will stop and no new Energy will be restored, so the Energy Talisman stops being effective. However, the Energy Talisman's own timer will continue to count down, so it is important to make sure you are below your Maximum Energy when using an Energy Talisman in order to get the most out of it.


 * Spinning Top: Spinning Tops triples energy restoration speed for 30 minutes (you gain 1 energy point every minute for 30 minutes). Spinning Tops are rewards for the Achievements. Spinning Tops can also be won by combining certain collections, or purchased for Rubies in the Store.
 * Thunder Amulet: Thunder Amulets increases energy restoration by 5 times for 90 minutes (you gain 1 energy point every 36 seconds for 90 minutes). Thunder Amulets are rewards for the Achievements. Thunder Amulets can also be won by combining certain collections, or purchased for Rubies in the Store.
 * Fire Crystal: Fire Crystals increase energy restoration by 10 times for 2 hours (you gain 1 energy point every 18 seconds for 2 hours). Fire Crystals can be purchased for Rubies in the Store.

The Fortune Pearl
The Fortune Pearl is a Talisman that is part of an incentive scheme to get people to play the game every day. You will receive one Fortune Pearl for every 25 days in a row you enter the game.

Every new day you enter the game will trigger the Fortune Pearl progress window. This window shows your daily reward for entering the game, and your progress towards getting the Fortune Pearl. The daily reward is 100 coins or else a component of the Fortune Pearl.

There are 5 components to the Fortune Pearl, and each component is given for visiting the game for 5 days in a row. To get the Fortune Pearl you must enter the game every day for 25 days. If you miss one day you are sent back to the beginning and must start over to win the Fortune Pearl. However, you are given the option to either start over or to recover your progress by paying with Rubies.

On the 25th day, a graphic will appear to show that you now have all 5 components of the Fortune Pearl and combines it to create the Fortune Pearl, which automatically goes into the Talisman tab of your Inventory



To activate a Fortune Pearl, go to the Talisman Tab of the Inventory (the default open tab) and scroll until you see the Fortune Pearl. Tapping on the Fortune Pearl Icon will bring up an information box for the Talisman which has the options to 'Use' or 'Cancel'. Pressing 'Use' will activate the Talisman.

The Fortune Pearl increases the odds of finding items by 12% and adds 12% to Coins received for winning Hidden Object Locations or Puzzle games for 10 days.

The Fortune Pearl is unique amongst Talismans/Artifacts in the game since other Talismans/Artifacts that have the same funtion as the Fortune Pearl can be used at the same time as it.

For example, if you are using a Fortune Pearl and then activate an Eagle Eye and Piggy Bank, then for the following 90 minutes your chances of winning items for winning Hidden Object and Puzzle games will be increased by a total of 42% and the amount of Coins you receive for winning Hidden Object and Puzzle games will be increased by a total of 37%.

Artifacts
Artifacts are like Talismans, but typically the last longer (12-24 hours) and give much bigger rewards. Artifacts can be made by combining completed collections using their own set of Fixers (combining elements). Each Artifact requires 5 completed Collections, and a set number of Fixers to combine. See the List of Artifacts pages for details of what is required to create each Artifact.

When you combine the 5 completed Collections to create an Artifact, you lose one of each of the completed Collections. For Collections you have only combined once, you lose the only combined Collection you have, and that Collection will no longer have the blue 'completed' banner in the Collections tab.

Artifacts can be combined in the Artifacts tab of the Collections Window of the game. To activate an Artifact you have already combined go the Talismans tab of the Inventory, and scroll until you find the Artifact you wish to activate. Press the image of the Artifact to bring up a box describing what it does. Press the green 'Use' button to activate the Artifact.
