Tarisland Warrior Talents
Tarisland Warrior Inscribe Stone
Emblems
- Barrierguard
- Warlike Surge
- Reversal
- High Energy Potion / Tribal Ode
- Potential
Each emblem in Tarisland has randomly generated (RNG) perks that you gain as you upgrade your emblem. Some perks, like +12 Stamina or +1 ATT, are not very beneficial, so you might need to upgrade multiple emblems of the same type to get a “good” one.Key Perks to Focus On:
- +50% Stat Increases: This perk boosts a nearby Stat node by 50%, significantly enhancing your overall stats.
- +1 Emblem Level: This increases the power of the emblem by 1, making your emblem more effective.
To maximise your build, aim to upgrade emblems that have only these two types of bonuses. By focusing on these perks, you can ensure that your tank build is as powerful and efficient as possible.
Nodes
When selecting nodes for your inscribe stone system, start by placing just one point into each node to advance further upwards. This approach is more efficient since the first point in a node provides more stats compared to the second and third points.
Focus on progressing up one side of the inscribe system, prioritizing essential stats such as:
- Stamina
- Cooldown
- Focus
- Main Attributes
- Specialization Attributes & Effects
- Unlocking emblem slots
The first priority is unlocking all 5 emblem slots. Ensure that your emblems are levelled up, as they become significantly more powerful at higher levels, with a maximum level of 10. This strategy will help you maximize your build’s effectiveness early on.
Once you’ve unlocked all emblem slots, focus on unlocking your Core nodes as these enhance your Fatuina Echo, offering strong benefits. Afterward, pick up other useful nodes but pay close attention to nodes with bonuses such as +50%; increase these to level 2 or 3 as well as the Specialization Attribute nodes.
Enhancing the nodes around your Core nodes will increase the Core level so do that next. Finally just fill in the nodes that provide other useful stats.
