• 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:
  1. +50% Stat Increases: This perk boosts a nearby Stat node by 50%, significantly enhancing your overall stats.
  2. +1 Emblem Level: This increases the power of the emblem by 1, making your emblem more effective.
