I know a lot of players covet the fancy talismans, but I honestly don't see the appeal. At first, I saved them up so I could have them when I was a higher level player since my energy limit at that time was far less than the time I could run the talismans. Then as I leveled up, I found they were more of a headache than a help. The SS and MF are all I need. And since they can be crafted and I've stockpiled a good inventory on the collections for winding keys and diagrams, I don't mind using 1 to 2 sets every day and letting them go each time.

However, I know there are many high level players who still like some of the fancy talismans. The Merchant's Talisman seems to be the most popular (from Merchant's Mistake artifact). I guess I'll have to see how it works while simultaneously running the SS and MF. As it is, running just the SS and FM, I'm getting 2-3 CIs for every room I search. The MF gives me 100% added XP which gets doubled again from my monthly XP subscription. So I really can't imagine how the Merchant's Talisman or any other fancy talisman can make that much of a difference above the SS/MF combo. Maybe I'll check it out some day.
