Do we have to post the talismans in the same post we voted for the tapestry issue? Or can we just post the talismans in a new post?

Fakepriest looks at domain effects on front page.
Ha. You're right. Nowhere said that Elegy should be used on ally, just active. Well, flat Qi increase it is then.

Eventually, Suyin will have to have an intervention with Ling Qi. Dumping even more valuable projects and recipes on her is only making the other work she's doing take longer!
In all seriousness though, Suyin having a recipe to help the creation of the middle dantian and breaking through to the 4th realm will only make her more valuable to the Sect. And the Sect will appreciate it all the more.

For my liminal realm navigation idea:
[X][talisman] Dream Drenched Compass:
-[X] Perceptiveness, Survival: A Navigational aid for use in the Liminal Realm
The Hui would very likely have something like this and I think that a compass that doesn't seem to point anywhere in the material Realm but can navigate you through the dream sounds really cool.
Another one I like that I didn't create:
[X][talisman] A mirror that appears full of shimmering mist
-[X] Enhances abilities that involve shifting things in and out of Dream

Clear consensus on the tapestry, but not many talisman ideas yet.

Ok, so i still like the idea of giving each spirit 1 talisman. There are nice zhengui ideas here already and i saw some cool ideas for liminal talismans for sixiang, so ill post a Hanyi idea instead:
[X][talisman] Silver Circlet (for Hanyi)
-[X] Combat Perception
im not sure if the (for Hanyi) is needed, but i dont want people to mistake this for a second LQ combat perception talisman.
I considered a speedboost too, but she already has a movement tech and she is also fairly fast already, so i went for combat perception instead.
(Btw. regarding a flat +Qi talisman: we asked yrs before and he doesnt want to give those for LQ. I assume he wont do it for zhengui either)

[X][talisman] Practicioner's Divining Rings, a set of large inscribed rings that offer much of the benefit of a more traditional stationary scrying setup for the practitioner on the move.
-[X] When channeling a divination art across the rings, they serve to stabilize and enhance the connection offering the user much finer control, and additionally aid in piercing any illusions or barriers that may bar one's sight.

In terms of distribution of talismans, I'd like one for Zhengui, one for Sixiang, then one utility for Ling Qi. Hanyi did get her very nice dress fairly recently, so it's only fair, given Zhengui's currently suck and Sixiang has literally nothing.
Also guys, try to make talismans that do things, rather than being just 'number go up'. Things like +Qi are boring D:
Hanyi's Dress:
Zhengui's Random Trash Talismans:

Well, for a more interesting slightly mystery-boxy Sixiang item, maybe something like:
[x][talisman] A mirror that appears full of shimmering mist
-[x] Enhances abilities that involve shifting things in and out of Dream
[x][talisman] A mirror that appears full of shimmering mist
-[x] Enhances abilities that involve shifting things in and out of Dream
I'm not really seeing the value of giving her combat perception? Like, it's fairly tangential to her focus, as well as, as Xeph said, being a fairly boring statstick. I'm not even sure how that would show up given she doesn't really do any perception stuff.

I agree with this, though I'd also be fine with one for Zhen, one for Gui, and one for Six.

[X][talisman] Flask of Spirits (for Sixiang)
-[X] Improves Dispel. If someone actually imbibes a significant amount from it all their effects are Dispelled and they immediately fall asleep. This has no effect on Cyan or above.
The special effect is meant to be a noncombat usage. Force a captive to drink it, trick someone into doing it, or just have them do it willingly so as to enter the dreamscape for Sixiang to interact with them on. The sleep itself isn't magical and they will awaken just as easily as they would any other time.

Oh yeah FYI guys, don't forget you can vote for multiple talisman options, the only restriction is that you can only submit one original idea per person.
...Unless I'm completely wrong and Yrs plans to collate them for a later vote, but there's nothing indicating that.

Sorry I'm not sure I'm following. So the multiplier means in the upcoming auction the items will be worth more/less? So if we get the positive multipliers the talismans will be stronger? And weaker for the negative multipliers?
I think its a multiplier for the cash amount we get at auction.
There are 2 shares. The multiplier is due to one side or the other giving half their share to the other.
Xia Lin will also be claiming stuff that she's interested in, like Ling Qi was in the update and with the talismans, but the vast majority of all the loot will be going to auction. With the tapestry, Ling Qi is essentially ceding part of her share of the auction proceeds to Xia Lin in exchange, due to its value.
In short: If we take the tapestry then we give Xia Lin more of the talismans we are selling. Thus we get less money from the auction.
Strength does not come into it.

+Meng opinion appears to not actually require selling the tapestry to them so sure, I like getting something for nothing.
