I tried on an orc ship and could not get through the pass...
Just use a regular old school boat... like you buy from the harbor master in Britain. Works with no issues.

We used the portal from Goodman's to the Underworld and sailed thru the pass. I wanted to use my pumpkin row boat, but other party member beat me to launching an old school boat. :D

Rumor has it that it is one per account per server. Kinda like some gifts are. So, you may be able to transfer around and get more. Or if you have built toons on other servers.

On Sonoma, did two rounds and got the talisman on the first round.
second round, got the message, can't receive another.

Using the same account, I tried on Atlantic.
First round didn't get looting rights.
Second and third round got looting rights, but no message about already receiving the item.

Is the cube completely random like pinks in other spawns? Many of us have run this all day now and I've only seen one person get one. Is it a specific mob or completely random?

You dont always get the Boss drop. Took one of my guys 2 tries. Got loot rights both times.

So the only notable reward is a talisman that is HEAPS less useful than slither? ...
The fire resist ones are selling for more than slither. Someone must like them. Its not something Ill use for anything other than deco. Slither is also useless to me.

@Pawain have you actually seen one sell, or are you talking about ones that notably DONT sell, on vendor search?
Yup they were selling on LS this morning. Sorry you don't know that sampires like fire resist. They were trading a non fire and 100M for fire resist ones.

@Pawain I know that you can build a much better sampire with a much better talisman. Its interesting that people are paying more for the inferior build.

the cube...
the cube...

looks like you'll get it while doing the champ, not killing the boss.
Still no luck here....
one question, if you get the talisman you can still get the cube?

I think not. I took a char who'd done the spawn already back to help someone else & whilst she got two cubes first time, she got none the second. Char on third account got none at all, and I know others who didn't get any either.

This was same account on Sonoma Black gate champ spawn

So one per account per shard, and they are not shard bound

Can anyone confirm they were able to get a talisman on the same account on different shards?

I did the spawn on my sampire (got one) then went back on my tamer (got looting rights) but didn't even get a message about already getting one. I was thinking of trying a different shard but won't bother with the shard transfer if it's just 1 per account.

It is 1 Talisman per account, per Shard.
I myself have only 1 account but play many shards.
I have obtained so far 3 Talismans on 3 different Shards. (2 poison, 1 cold) No cubes or "participation drops"

What other participation drops are there? I saw that there are "crystals" on some of the corpses, but those have been in game for a while. Flame looking crystal of shame graphic that just say crystal. Also noticed that some imbuing materials are on corpses as well.
