Fargo's Talismans in FTB Skies 2: Aero

Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 guide

Fargo's Talismans adds equipable talismans that give you useful effects and modifiers. This pack includes version 2.3.1 of the mod. The Air Talisman gives immunity to fall damage from any height, the Copper Talisman works as an item magnet within a 10 block radius, and the Diamond Talisman gives a 20% damage reduction.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

How the tiers fit together

• Talismans are crafted from Upgrade Bases, the main crafting ingredient. Examples are Normal Talisman Base, Advanced Talisman Base and Epic Talisman Base.^[3][6][7][8]
• Forces are compressed talismans with all the same functionality as the crafted ones. For example, the Air Talisman is used to craft the Force of Nature.^[3][9]
• Souls are compressed forces with the same functionality. The Force of Environment is used to craft the Soul of Minecraft, and the Force itself needs a Legendary Talisman Base.^[10][11]

The Nether dungeon

Abominable Energy is a critical crafting component for Talisman Bases. The only place to get it is Fargo's Dungeon in the Nether, where you loot it from chests.^[12]

Talisman Pedestal

The Talisman Pedestal provides the effect of the talisman placed on it to all players within its radius, which is handy for a shared base.^[13][14]

Where it sits in the quest book

The pack has a dedicated quest chapter for the mod, called "fargos_talismans". Its first three quests ask for Abominable Energy ("Abominable Energy" quest), the pedestal ("Talisman Pedestal" quest) and the Normal base ("Normal Talisman Base" quest). All three come after the same earlier quest, which is not part of the chapter listing the sources show.^[16]

The Normal base quest is the hub for the chapter. Many individual talisman quests come after it, such as the Architect Talisman ("Architect Talisman" quest) and the Pickaxe Talisman ("Pickaxe Talisman" quest). The base tiers then chain in order: the Advanced base ("Advanced Talisman Base" quest) comes after the Normal base, the Epic base ("Epic Talisman Base" quest) after the Advanced base, and the Legendary base ("Legendary Talisman Base" quest) after the Epic base. The Force quests, like Force of Explorer ("Force of Explorer" quest), come after the quests for the talismans that go into them.^[16]

Fargo's Talismans adds equippable curios that give you all sorts of modifiers. In this pack's quest book it is chapter 13 of 31, in the "Exploration & Combat" group, and it has 80 quests. You start with "Welcome to Fargo's Talismans!" quest, which is just a checkmark. It unlocks three quests: "Abominable Energy" quest, "Talisman Pedestal" quest and "Normal Talisman Base" quest. Here is the order I'd go in.^[17][18]

Step one: craft the Normal Talisman Base

The Normal Talisman Base is your starting tier. The quest book says it lets you craft tier 1 talismans and can be upgraded into the Advanced base. The guide calls it the crafting ingredient used in every later upgrade, so this is where everything starts.^[18][19]

Step two: make a few first-tier talismans

With the base done, the quest book lists a whole row of talismans that only need the Normal Talisman Base. Three are worth making early. The Copper Talisman gives you an item magnet within a 10 block radius. The Pickaxe Talisman gives 2x mining speed. The Iron Talisman gives a 5% damage reduction.^{[18][20][21][22]}

Step three: go get Abominable Energy

Abominable Energy is a critical component for the higher talisman bases and most end-game items. The quest book says you can find it in Fargo's Dungeons, loot it from bosses, or craft it in a Particle Collider. The dungeon is an underground structure in the Nether, generating between Y:25 and Y:50 in any biome, and its chests hold the loot.^[18][23][24]

The pack has the dungeon switched on in dungeon2.dungeon2. Its placement file sets spacing to 20 and separation to 12, which matches the guide's note that dungeons sit roughly 12 to 20 chunks apart.^[23][25][26]

Step four: upgrade the base and place a pedestal

Next in the quest book is the Advanced Talisman Base, which unlocks tier 2 talismans and upgrades into the Epic base. After that, the Talisman Pedestal applies the effect of the talisman sitting on it to every player in its radius, which is handy on a multiplayer base. Its recipe is below.^[18][27]

The radius depends on the block under the pedestal. By default it is 5 blocks. An amethyst block raises it to 9, a beacon to 15, and a chorus flower to 20.^[18][28]

This mod has no machines, multiblocks, power or fluid handling to wire up. The sources describe it as equippable curios that give the player modifiers, plus a pedestal that shares a talisman's effect with nearby players, and a Nether dungeon that supplies key crafting parts. Every talisman can be toggled through the Talisman GUI, which you open with the command /fargostalismans talisman gui.^[17][24][29]

The base tier ladder

Almost everything is crafted from an Upgrade Base, the main crafting ingredient for talismans. The bases form a chain, and each tier after the first needs 2 of the tier before it.^[30][31]

1. Normal Talisman Base: the first base. It does not need netherite, but it does need a totem of undying. It is used to craft the Advanced base.^[19]
2. Advanced Talisman Base: made from 2 Normal bases, and used to craft the Epic base.^[31]
3. Epic Talisman Base: made from 2 Advanced bases, and used to craft the Legendary base.^[32]
4. Legendary Talisman Base: made from 2 Epic bases, and used to craft the Ultimate base.^[33]
5. Ultimate Talisman Base: made from 2 Legendary bases, and used to craft the Godly base.^[34]
6. Godly Talisman Base: made from 2 Ultimate bases. It is the final upgrade tier so far.^[35]

The first base needs a totem of undying and no netherite.

Abominable Energy is one of the critical crafting components for talisman bases, and the Fargo's Dungeon in the Nether is the only place to get it. You loot it from chests there.^[24]

Talismans, forces and souls

Each talisman's guide entry says which base its recipe needs and which force, if any, it feeds into. For example, the Air Talisman needs an Advanced base and goes into the Force of Nature, while the Copper Talisman needs a Normal base and is not used for any force.^[20][37]

Forces are compressed talismans with all the same functionality as the crafted talismans. Souls are compressed forces with all the same functionality. A force gives you every effect of the talismans in its craft. The Soul of Minecraft does the same for the forces, and so for every talisman inside them. The Soul of Dimensions then combines the souls, needs a Godly base, and is the final item (for now) of the mod.^{[38][39][40][41][42]}

The Force of Environment is a good example. Its recipe needs a Legendary base and the weather and time talismans, and it is used to craft the Soul of Minecraft.^[36][40]

Talisman Pedestal

The Talisman Pedestal applies the effect of the talisman placed on it to all players within its radius, so you can share an effect with your whole base instead of wearing it.^[27][29]

The radius depends on the block directly under the pedestal. The pedestal's own tooltip says the same.^[28][43]

• Default, with nothing special underneath: 5 blocks.^[28][43]
• Amethyst block underneath: 9 blocks.^[28][43]
• Beacon underneath: 15 blocks.^[28][43]
• Chorus flower underneath: 20 blocks. The flower can still grow.^[28][43]

What the pack's config changes

Values live in apple_talisman.apple_talisman_heal_factor and the other per-talisman sections of the server config. Most percentage options are added to 1 and then multiplied by the amount, so 0.25 means 125% of normal. In this pack the values match the mod defaults. If the in-game guide and the config disagree, trust the config. For example, the guide says the Full Moon Talisman gives 10% extra damage, but the pack's full_moon_talisman.full_moon_talisman_increased_damage is 0.15, which is 115% damage.^[44][45]

Every talisman, soul and accessory also has an on/off switch in the same file, such as talismans.Air_Talisman. All of them are set to true in this pack. A disabled item shows a tooltip saying it was disabled by the server config.^[43][44]

Some souls have their own tuning options. soul_of_supersonic.soul_of_supersonic_walk_speed_multiplier is 1.75 and soul_of_supersonic.soul_of_supersonic_fly_speed_multiplier is 2.5. soul_of_colossus.soul_of_colossus_health_multiplier is 4, and it is added on top of your base health, which matches the guide's 5x. soul_of_colossus.soul_of_colossus_remove_negative_effects is true, and the guide warns that this clashes with the Force of Negative talismans.^[44][46][47]

The Fargo's Dungeon

The dungeon is an underground Nether structure that generates in any biome there, between Y 25 and Y 50. It is built randomly, so you can get a small one on a bad roll. In this pack it is enabled in dungeon2.dungeon2, and the placement config sets dungeon2.spacing to 20 and dungeon2.separation to 12.^{[23][24][25][26]}

The dungeon feeds two souls. Chests can hold a crafting item for the Soul of Colossus. Zombies, Skeletons, Creepers and Spiders inside it have a 5% chance to drop an item for the Soul of Supersonic, with Looting adding 2% per level. The drops are random, so you may get repeats. The pack also sets loot_structure.use_custom_structure to true with loot_structure.custom_structure_id set to "ftb:fargo".^[24][44]

Accessories crafted in other mods' machines

This pack adds recipes that make some of the mod's accessories in other mods' machines. The Flying Carpet is made in an Enchanted kettle, and the Blessed Apple in an Actually Additions empowerer. Several others are made in the Advanced AE reaction chamber, including Aeolus Boots, Ankh Shield, Bundle of Horseshoe Balloons, Pocket Mirror, Shiny Stone and Sweetheart Necklace. These recipes need fluids, which is the closest this mod gets to fluid handling.^[36]

In this pack the talisman questline is the Fargo's Talismans chapter. It sits in the Exploration & Combat group, as chapter 13 of 31 in the quest book, and has 80 quests. It starts at "Welcome to Fargo's Talismans!" quest, and from there progression is mostly about climbing the talisman bases.^[18]

Getting started

Four quests unlock right after the welcome quest: "Abominable Energy" quest, "Toggling Talisman Effects" quest, "Talisman Pedestal" quest and "Normal Talisman Base" quest. The talisman quests themselves hang off the Normal Talisman Base quest, so that is the one to aim for first.^[18]

Abominable Energy is needed for the more advanced talismans, the talisman bases and most end-game items. The quest book says you can find it in Fargo's Dungeons, loot it from bosses or craft it in a Particle Collider. The dungeons are in the Nether between y:25 and y:50.^[18]

The Traveler's Quest chapter has a quest to find a Fargo's Dungeon. It's a good place to loot talisman crafting materials, but it also hides Keepers of Silence and an Ancient Archlich in tucked away rooms, so go in ready.^[49]

The base tiers

Each base unlocks the next batch of items and is upgraded into the following base. Here is the full ladder:^[18]

1. Normal Talisman Base: the starting tier. It lets you craft tier 1 talismans and can be upgraded into the Advanced base.^[18]
2. Advanced Talisman Base: unlocks tier 2 talismans. The in-game guide says it needs 2 of the previous tier base. It upgrades into the Epic base.^[18][31]
3. Epic Talisman Base: unlocks tier 3 talismans and Force Talismans, and upgrades into the Legendary base.^[18]
4. Legendary Talisman Base: lets you craft Force Talismans and upgrades into the Ultimate base.^[18]
5. Ultimate Talisman Base: unlocks Soul Parts. The in-game guide says it needs 2 of the previous tier base. It upgrades into the Godly base.^[18][34]
6. Godly Talisman Base: the final tier, used to craft the Soul of Dimensions.^[18]

Talismans by tier

In the quest book every talisman sits under the base it needs. A few examples from each tier:^[18]

• Normal base: Architect Talisman raises block reach up to 64 blocks, Pickaxe Talisman doubles mining speed, and Copper Talisman pulls items from a 10-block radius.^[18]
• Advanced base: Air Talisman negates fall damage, Water Talisman gives infinite water breathing, and Fire Talisman gives fire and lava immunity. Diamond Talisman gives 20% damage reduction and also needs the Iron Talisman.^[18]
• Epic base: the weather and time-of-day talismans such as Sun Talisman and Storm Talisman, plus the negative-effect talismans such as Poisoned Talisman, which adds 25% damage while you are poisoned. Nether Star Talisman also lives here and raises critical damage by 50%.^[18]

Forces

Forces are compressed talismans that keep all the effects of the talismans used to make them. Each Force has its own quest, which unlocks once you have its talismans. The base each one needs comes from the in-game guide.^[18][38]

• Force of Nature (Epic base): Fire, Air, Earth and Water talismans.^[18][50]
• Force of Explorer (Epic base): Architect, Glowstone, Enderman, Arctic and Spectral talismans.^[18][51]
• Force of Overworld (Epic base): Amethyst, Emerald, Gold, Diamond, Lapis and Redstone talismans.^[18][52]
• Force of Warrior (Legendary base): Void, Cactus, Battle, Iron Golem and Thorny talismans.^[18][53]

Souls

Souls are compressed Forces. The Ultimate base is the gate to all of them:^[18][39]

• Soul of Minecraft: comes after all eight Forces and the Ultimate base, and combines every buff from those Forces.^[18]
• Soul of Colossus: increases health by 5x and negates all negative effects, so it clashes with the Force of Negative. The quest book says its parts come from looting Fargo's Dungeon.^[18]
• Soul of Supersonic: raises running and walking speed by 1.75x and flight speed by 2.5x.^[18]
• Soul of Flight Mastery: unlimited creative flight, made from several elytra variants.^[18]
• Soul of Dimensions: needs the Soul of Minecraft, the Godly base and the other three Souls. It is the final Soul and combines all benefits into one item.^[18]

The in-game guide says the Soul of Supersonic parts drop from zombies, skeletons, creepers and spiders inside the Fargo's Dungeon with a 5% chance, and Looting adds 2% per level.^[24]

This pack also adds crafting routes through other mods. For example, Frozen Shield is made in a Mekanism combiner, Star Veil in an Oritech particle collider, and Hero Shield by Ars Nouveau imbuement. Master Ninja Gear uses Draconic Evolution fusion crafting and Flying Carpet uses the Enchanted kettle.^[36]

Fargo's Talismans doesn't live on its own in this pack. Many of its accessories and gear items are crafted through machines and recipes from other mods, and every recipe below was added by the pack. If you're hunting for the next item, check the machine from the other mod first.^[36]

Which mod crafts what

• Create and Aeronautics: Create sequenced assembly makes the Amber Horseshoe Balloon and the Mechanical Cart. The sequences use Aeronautics Levitite Blend and parts like Vector Thruster. Modern Industrialization also has its own recipe for each of these two items.^[36]
• Advanced AE and Modern Industrialization: the Ankh Shield, Bundle of Horseshoe Balloons, Pocket Mirror, Shiny Stone and Sweetheart Necklace can each be made in the Advanced AE reaction chamber or in a Modern Industrialization mixer. The Bundle builds on the Amber Horseshoe Balloon, and the Sweetheart Necklace builds on the Shiny Stone.^[36]
• Malum spirit infusion: this makes the Ancient Horn, the Shield of Cthulhu and the Worm Scarf.^[36]
• Oritech: a centrifuge makes the Hand Warmer, and the particle collider makes the Brain Scrambler and the Star Veil.^[36]
• Enchanted: a kettle makes the Flying Carpet. There are two versions of the recipe, one with Levitite and one with Pearlescent Levitite.^[36]
• One recipe each: Actually Additions empowering makes the Blessed Apple, Ars Nouveau imbuement makes the Hero Shield, Draconic Evolution fusion makes the Master Ninja Gear, Mekanism's combiner makes the Frozen Shield, Neovitae's athanor makes the Charm of Myths, and PneumaticCraft's assembly laser makes the Obsidian Horseshoe.^[36]
• Plain crafting table: the Bee Cloak and the Reindeer Bells are shaped recipes. They use items from other mods, such as Honey Treat for the cloak and Haunted Bell for the bells.^[36]

In the quest book

The "Fargo's Talismans" chapter sits in the "Exploration & Combat" group, as chapter 13 of 31 in the book, and has 80 quests. The quest "Abominable Energy" quest says Abominable Energy can be found in Fargo's Dungeons, looted from bosses, or crafted in a Particle Collider. It is used for talisman bases and most end-game items.^[18]

The other quests shown in the chapter cover the talismans themselves. The text of the remaining 54 quests is in the quest book, so check it in game for any extra guidance on the items above.^[18]

Fargo's Talismans has its own chapter in the pack's quest book, plus two quests in other chapters. The main chapter is "Fargo's Talismans", chapter 13 of 31 in the group "Exploration & Combat", with 80 quests. Most of its quests ask you to hand in a single item, and they unlock in a clear tier-by-tier order.^[18]

The Fargo's Talismans chapter

You start with "Welcome to Fargo's Talismans!" quest, a simple checkmark that introduces the mod. Four quests unlock right after it, and they are mostly practical.^[18]

• "Abominable Energy" quest asks for Abominable Energy, which you need for the more advanced talisman bases and most end-game items. The quest says it comes from Fargo's Dungeons, boss loot or a Particle Collider, and that the dungeons sit in the Nether between y:25 and y:50.^[18]
• "Toggling Talisman Effects" quest is a checkmark explaining how to switch effects on and off. The command /fargostalisman talisman gui opens a menu of every effect, and /fargostalisman talisman toggle followed by a talisman name (for example earth_talisman) toggles one directly.^[18]
• "Talisman Pedestal" quest asks for the Talisman Pedestal, which shares the placed talisman's effect with players in range. The default radius is 5 blocks. Placing it on an Amethyst Block makes it 9, on a Beacon 15, and on a Chorus Flower 20.^[18]
• "Normal Talisman Base" quest asks for the Normal Talisman Base, the starting tier for crafting tier 1 talismans.^[18]

Tier by tier

After the Normal Talisman Base quest, a big batch of tier 1 talisman quests opens up. They are "Architect Talisman" quest, "Skeleton Talisman" quest, "Creeper Talisman" quest, "Pickaxe Talisman" quest, "Zombie Talisman" quest, "Emerald Talisman" quest, "Void Talisman" quest, "Earth Talisman" quest, "Enderman Talisman" quest, "Shulker Talisman" quest, "Copper Talisman" quest, "Thorny Talisman" quest, "Vindicator Talisman" quest, "Gold Talisman" quest, "Ghast Talisman" quest, "Glowstone Talisman" quest, "Iron Talisman" quest and "Spectral Talisman" quest. The same quest also unlocks "Advanced Talisman Base" quest, which leads to tier 2.^[18]

Advanced Talisman Base unlocks the next set: "Air Talisman" quest, "Lapis Talisman" quest, "Vampire Talisman" quest, "Dragon Talisman" quest, "Apple Talisman" quest, "Water Talisman" quest, "Cactus Talisman" quest, "Wither Talisman" quest, "Undying Talisman" quest, "Redstone Talisman" quest, "Blaze Talisman" quest, "Obsidian Talisman" quest, "Battle Talisman" quest, "Mooshroom Talisman" quest, "Amethyst Talisman" quest, "Arctic Talisman" quest, "Iron Golem Talisman" quest and "Fire Talisman" quest. "Diamond Talisman" quest needs both the Advanced base quest and the Iron Talisman quest. "Epic Talisman Base" quest also follows the Advanced base and opens tier 3.^[18]

The Epic Talisman Base unlocks the conditional-damage and environment talismans: "Nether Star Talisman" quest, "Day Talisman" quest, "Snowy Talisman" quest, "Withered Talisman" quest, "Fired Talisman" quest, "Witch Talisman" quest, "Weakened Talisman" quest, "Full Moon Talisman" quest, "Librarian Talisman" quest, "Enchanting Talisman" quest, "Poisoned Talisman" quest, "True Sun Talisman" quest, "Blinded Talisman" quest, "Fatigued Talisman" quest, "Rain Talisman" quest, a quest in "Fargo's Talismans", "Sun Talisman" quest, "Storm Talisman" quest, "Slowed Talisman" quest and "Nauseated Talisman" quest. It also leads to "Legendary Talisman Base" quest.^[18]

The Force quests

Each Force quest unlocks once you have done the talisman quests that feed into it. The quest texts also say each Force is later used to craft the Soul of Minecraft.^[18]

• "Force of Explorer" quest follows Architect, Glowstone, Enderman, Arctic and Spectral.^[18]
• "Force of Warrior" quest follows Void, Cactus, Battle, Iron Golem and Thorny.^[18]
• "Force of Rejectors" quest follows Vindicator, Skeleton, Creeper, Ghast, Zombie, Blaze, Dragon and Wither.^[18]
• "Force of Mystic" quest follows Undying, Librarian, Enchanting, Vampire, Witch and Shulker.^[18]
• "Force of Overworld" quest follows Amethyst, Emerald, Gold, Diamond, Lapis and Redstone.^[18]
• "Force of Nature" quest follows Fire, Air, Earth and Water.^[18]
• "Force of Environment" quest follows Day, Storm, Full Moon, Night, Rain, Snowy, Sun and True Sun.^[18]
• "Force of Negative" quest follows Nauseated, Fatigued, Poisoned, Slowed, Weakened, Withered, Fired and Blinded.^[18]

The Souls

The end of the chapter runs through the Ultimate base and the Souls. "Ultimate Talisman Base" quest follows the Legendary base quest. "Soul of Minecraft" quest needs all eight Force quests plus the Ultimate base quest.^[18]

Three more Soul quests unlock after the Ultimate base, alongside "Godly Talisman Base" quest. Their texts describe them like this:^[18]

• "Soul of Colossus" quest asks for the Soul itself plus a dozen items such as Star Veil and Ankh Shield. The text says those items come from looting Fargo's Dungeon, that the Soul increases health by 5x, and that it clashes with the Force of Negative.^[18]
• "Soul of Supersonic" quest asks for the Soul plus a dozen items such as Aeolus Boots and Flying Carpet. It increases running and walking speed by 1.75x and flight speed by 2.5x.^[18]
• "Soul of Flight Mastery" quest asks for the Soul plus a set of elytra variants such as Dragon Wings and Ender Wings. It provides unlimited creative flight.^[18]

The chapter finishes with "Soul of Dimensions" quest, which needs the Soul of Minecraft, Godly base, Colossus, Supersonic and Flight Mastery quests. The text calls it the final Soul in the mod for now, combining all benefits into a single item.^[18]

Quests in other chapters

• In "The Traveler's Quest" (chapter 15 of 31, same group), "Find A Fargo's Dungeon" quest is a structure quest. It sends you to the Fargo's Talismans dungeons in the Nether, which it calls a great place to loot talisman crafting materials. It also warns of powerful entities in tucked away rooms: Keepers of Silence and an Ancient Archlich.^[49]
• In "Bounty Board" (chapter 11 of 31, same group), "Godhood" quest is called Godhood and asks for Soul of Dimensions. That chapter's intro says it holds repeatable quests that pay out extra cash for the shops.^[57]

Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 guide

Good news first: for the talisman balance settings, this pack doesn't change anything from the mod. Every tunable value in the server config is listed with the same number as the mod default, so what you read in the mod's own descriptions is what you get here. The only entries that don't show a mod default are the loot structure settings, covered below.^[58]

Loot structure (the pack-specific part)

The pack turns on a custom structure for loot drops and points it at a structure called ftb:fargo. The config doesn't list a mod default for either option, so I can't tell you whether the pack changed them, only how it sets them.^[58]

• loot_structure.use_custom_structure is true.^[58]
