Talisman

Once a talisman is consumed, essence will be gathered at five times the normal rate for that specific type. Each talisman of the same type consumed after the first will grant a random, large amount of essence of that type.

Talismans are uncommon items obtained when opening chests; geodes, bird's nests, sunken treasures, and satchels.

Giants can also rarely drop a corresponding talisman for their type.
