Barbwood Talisman II

Druid · Level 10 · Alteration

Effect

Imbues your defensive target's party with a talisman that increases armor class by 36, hit points by 72 and grants a 9 point damage shield.

Not in the emulator. This ability is recorded here but does not appear in the VGO Emulator build. It is kept because this archive records the game as it shipped — see everything else missing from it. Its figures are unverified.

As it was earlier

What guides written while Vanguard was running recorded for this ability. Kept beside the current figures rather than replacing them — the game was rebalanced across its life, so both are right for their own year.

Damage, healing and hate in Vanguard scale with your stats, skills and level — the figures above are the ability's own, not what a particular character will see.

Notes

Not present in the VGO Emulator build as of August 2026 — a player at the level cap went through the whole Druid spellbook and does not have it. Note the shape of what is missing: Barbwood Talisman survives only at rank I while every higher rank is gone, and Barkskin, Moon Talisman and Stormcaller's Fury are absent entirely. That could mean the build has not implemented them yet, or that the live game consolidated these buffs into one. The archive cannot tell which. Kept because this records the game as it shipped, not the emulator; the figures are the wiki's and unverified.
