Corrected sale currency to 5 Piastres at the Smuggler Buyer, added sale-value table and stockpiling notes, and cross-linked the luxury-relic and trade-good pages
Wooden Talisman is one of the smaller ruin loot pieces in Windrose. Items in this category are dug out of ancient sites, scavenged from collapsed temples, and looted from crumbling sarcophagi, then sold on to faction buyers in the harbor towns. They have no in-game crafting use and are valued only as a source of coin. Several of these antiquities (the Wooden Talismans overview groups them) feed the smuggler trade.
A fish-shaped amulet. Ancient fishermen wore it to bring a richer catch.

Spawns inside ruined points of interest in the Coastal Jungle, the Foothills, and the Cursed Swamps. Look for crumbling stone alcoves, broken sarcophagi, and altar tables; the model glows faintly when ready to be picked up. They also turn up in Ancient Ruins chests, as loot from high-tier Pirate Camps, and occasionally in the ship holds of merchant and pirate vessels. A single Foothills or Cursed Swamps run can return with several alongside the primary loot.
Wooden Talismans are a luxury contraband relic sold to the Smuggler Buyer at the hidden Smugglers of Port Royal archipelago base. They pay in Piastres rather than Guineas, so treat them as steady volume income rather than endgame currency. The Smuggler trade is the reliable buyer for ruin antiquities, since the other factions consider the trade legally questionable.
Buyer | Payout |

Smuggler Buyer (hidden base) | 5 Piastres per Wooden Talisman |
They stack to 20 and weigh little, so hoard them in a base chest until a Smuggler visit is planned rather than burning inventory slots on long voyages. Stockpiling a stack before a single sale run minimises sail time. For the higher-value companion relic that pays in Guineas, see Ancient Chalices.
