Crafting the Tallum Heavy set

Where a dwarf gets everything for the Tallum Heavy set: the cost of unsealing, the four recipes and the best places to spoil the key materials, with notes on which monsters are worth the trouble, and what the craft itself takes.

The most popular heavy set of A grade; it is hard to craft because the recipes for the body and gloves are hard to come by. But all the same everybody wants it and everybody crafts it. And so will we.

The set bonuses: attack speed +8%, STR +2, CON -2, -80% to the chance of poison and bleed landing on you, +5759 to the weight limit.

The set consists of Sealed Tallum Plate Armor, Sealed Tallum Helmet, Sealed Tallum Gloves and Sealed Tallum Boots.

All the things from craft or from mobs come sealed; they are unsealed for a particular set at the Blacksmith of Mammon in the victory week. The cost of unsealing: the Tallum heavy body 508k ancient adena, the helmet 131k, the gloves 87k, the boots 87k.

Gloves and boots that are already unsealed can be sealed again for 4.4k ancient adena, in order to unseal them afterwards for the needed set at the standard price.

Recipes

Recipe: Sealed Tallum Plate Armor(60%). There is no spoil; the drop is from Slaughter Bathin, level 63, Tower of Insolence, the second floor. It is a group mob surrounded by minions, with a heap of social mobs around the group, all aggressive, and since this is the second floor of the tower, say a big hello to cancel and paralysis. And the drop chance is no joy at all. So all the clever ones go to do the quest Exploration of the Giants' Cave, Part I in the Giant's Cave, where it is quite realistic to get this recipe in the first part of the quest.
Recipe: Sealed Tallum Helmet(60%). There is no drop; the spoil is from Alpen Buffalo T, level 67, Beast Farm: the bull has to be fed up to x4 with any feed, and if it turns out a warrior, it is our client.
Recipe: Sealed Tallum Gloves(60%). There is no spoil; the drop is from Wailing of Splendor A, level 67, and Judge of Light, level 66. Both mobs are in the Valley of Saints. How to find them? Either look at the description of the location, or teleport at once from Schuttgart to the Frozen Labyrinth and run towards the Valley of Saints. As soon as you enter the valley, jump down at once: both kinds of mobs will be standing there. Do not forget that Wailing of Splendor summons one more mob of the same kind, but already with a different drop. The recipe for Tallum gloves drops only from the first.
Recipe: Sealed Tallum Boots(60%). Spoil: Alpen Kookaburra T, level 65, the farm; we feed the kookaburra with any feed up to x4, we need a warrior, and the recipe is spoiled from it. Drop: Alpen Kookaburra Q, level 65, to be fed with crystal spice up to x2.

The recipes for the Tallum helmet, gloves and boots can also be got in the quest Legacy of Insolence.

Key materials

Sealed Tallum Plate Armor Pattern: spoiled from Gaze of Nightmare (72, Wall of Argos), Dark Omen Invader Archer (73, the rift), Alpen Cougar O (69, Beast Farm), Requiem Behemoth D (70) and Bone Animator (68) in the Forest of the Dead; as drop it comes from the raid bosses Rahha and Enmity Ghost Ramdal and from a couple of dozen mobs of levels 68-78 (all of them are on the page of the item). Gaze of Nightmare is the best variant of spoil, though sometimes it may cancel you if you do not interrupt its cancel cast in time.
Sealed Tallum Helm Design: spoiled from Dark Omen Invader Disciple (73) and Dark Omen Invader Martyrs (70) in the rift, Alpen Cougar R (69, Beast Farm, x2, crystal spice), Devil Bat (68, Forest of the Dead, only at night) and Frenzy Stakato Drone (72, Swamp of Screams, in the pens); as drop it comes from the raid bosses Abyss Brukunt, Ancient Weird Drake and Gorgolos and from mobs of levels 68-78. You can spoil at the farm, but very slowly (while the needed mob gets fed up), or in the Forest of the Dead, where there are two bats under one name, one stuns and the other does not (but try timing it for nightfall there). The Swamp of Screams is not an option: the Frenzy Stakato stand in ring pens, and either you have to climb inside onto the whole crowd, or one of the ordinary Stakato will complain that you are hurting it and call that whole crowd outside. In short, it is no fun anywhere, so slowly but calmly... yes, at the farm.
Sealed Tallum Gloves Design: spoiled from Eye of Guide (72, Wall of Argos), Alpen Cougar N (69, the farm), Scavenger Scarab (73, Shrine of Loyalty), Requiem Behemoth C (70, Forest of the Dead) and Frenzy Stakato Soldier (68, Swamp of Screams); as drop it comes from the raid bosses Demon Kurikups, Ghost of the Well Lidia and Last Titan Utenus and from mobs of levels 68-78. This is where a freebie shows clearly: either we spoil the eye in the Wall of Argos, or we go to the Shrine, where somebody is constantly beating out 700 mobs for the third profession, ask to join the party and spoil the scarabs.
Sealed Tallum Boots Lining: spoiled from Alpen Cougar L (69) and Alpen Grendel (68) at the farm, Requiem Priest (71) and Ghost of Guillotine (70) in the Forest of the Dead and Hames Orc Shaman (74, Blazing Swamp); the drop is from the same raid bosses and mobs as the key materials for the gloves. Here the freebie is even bigger: either we run around the water tower at the farm and spoil the bears, or in the Blazing Swamp we spoil the shamans, from which moonstones drop.
