Having one talisman and one weapon at purple you're focusing means you can make effective use of the better distillates, which saves you a ton of Shards.ДЄlso, when it comes to glyphing, it doesn't matter what slot you put the glyph in (you'll get the same stats from the same glyph in your head or your belt). Not an expert on taking, but my general rule is 'head first, main weapon second, major talismans third, minors when I get a chance.' Not really sure about off-hand yet, probably between majors and minors (depending on how much you use it and what you use it for.) Getting talismans to purple isn't that painful, since you can use anything with the right slot for fusion (weapons are harder, since they have to be a match, and you only get half as many weapon bags from quests as talisman bags). This strategy isn't going to work when I have all talismans available and there will be more and more fusion stages due to inventory issues, so at that point will probably focus on just a couple of alternative items.ДЇor weapons, I find that I end up with the one I'm using, then levelling the one I WANT to use in inventory until it makes sense to use it, of I can fuse them to use the preferred one. Anything that doesn't match one or the other gets funneled into whatever equipped stuff needs it.

for talismans I'm primarily working on upgrading the gear in use, but I'm keeping 1 alternate sort (if I'm using attack in one spot, in my inventory I'm also keeping a health of that location) so that for a give piece (like neck) I have a 2/3 shot at getting 250 xp rather than 100. If you do it the other way around you'd end up with a 2 pip of the 2-pip's type. it's the one in the upper left) then add the 2 pip below, you end up with a fused 3 pip (with of whatever type it was. Whichever item is the base remains when fusing.
