Xeric's talisman is an amulet that allows players to teleport to locations around Great Kourend. The talisman was once owned by Xeric, a tyrannical ruler who reigned over Great Kourend during the Age of Strife.

At level 72 Construction, the talisman can be mounted in the portal nexus room in a player-owned house. This requires an inert Xeric's talisman, 1 mahogany plank, 1 gold leaf and 5,000 lizardman fangs. A mounted talisman provides unlimited teleport charges.

Obtaining

The amulet is an untradeable drop from killing lizardmen, brutes, and shamans. The drop rate from monsters can be improved from 1 in 250 to 1 in 125 after completion of the easy Kourend & Kebos Diary. It can most easily be obtained from the lizardmen at a small skirmish next to a tent just slightly north of Lacerta Falls due to the abundance of NPC allies, multicombat fighting, and quick respawns.

It can also be obtained by stealing from stone chests in the Lizardman Temple beneath Molch, at a rate of 1 in 300.

Charges

When first obtaining the talisman, it will be inert and uncharged. Lizardman fangs can be added to give one charge per fang, costing 9 coins per charge. To add a charge, simply "use" a fang on the talisman. The talisman can hold a maximum of 1,000 charges.

The charges can be refunded, returning the fangs used to charge it and reverting the talisman to its inert state. Players can configure the charges while the talisman is in their bank by right-clicking on Configure-Charges, as long as players have the required materials.

It is possible to obtain multiple talismans, though the charges are not shared and multiple charged talismans will not stack in the bank. Extra talismans can be dismantled, providing 100 lizardman fangs, giving it an indirect value of 900.

Locations

A player teleports using Xeric's talisman.

All teleports are available by default except for Xeric's Honour. To permanently unlock this location, a player must first use an ancient tablet on the amulet. The tablet is obtained as a 1/10 chance reward from the Ancient chest after the Chambers of Xeric raid.

Teleporting to Xeric's Heart using the talisman is a task in the Hard Kourend & Kebos Diary.

Destination Map
1. Xeric's Lookout, at its entrance south-east of Shayzien.
2. Xeric's Glade, by the magic trees north-east of the Hosidius farming patch.
3. Xeric's Inferno, at the lovakite furnace in the centre of Lovakengj
4. Xeric's Heart, next to the statue at Kourend Castle.
5. Xeric's Honour, at the summit of Mount Quidamortem.

Players must use an ancient tablet on the talisman before being able to teleport here.

Trivia

  • The Xeric's talisman can be dismantled by using a pet rock on it, resulting in a message saying "You bash the talisman with the rock, smashing it into fang-like shards.".
  • During development, the name 'Xeric's Pride' was considered as an alternative to 'Xeric's Glade' for the teleportation destination in Hosidius, due to the suggestive shape of the pathway prior to the Architectural Alliance update on 3 March 2016.[1]
