The Courage Badge system is a special quest system in Talisman Online that allows players to prove their strength by defeating powerful bosses in dungeon scenarios.
Players who complete these challenges receive Courage Badges, which can later be exchanged for valuable items through special NPCs.
These badges represent glory, bravery, and achievement, and they are one of the ways players can obtain rare items such as mounts, gems, and special consumables.
Courage Herald
NPC Role
The Courage Herald is the NPC responsible for giving the Courage quests and managing badge exchange.
Players must speak to this NPC to:
-
Accept Courage Boss Quests
-
Exchange Courage Badges ↔ Hero Badges
-
Access daily challenge missions
These quests are daily quests, meaning they can usually be completed once per day.
Example Locations
The Courage Herald can commonly be found in:
-
Stone City
-
Moon Dragon Village
These are the main quest hubs for the Courage system.
Courage Quests
The Courage system contains three main difficulty levels, depending on the player's level.
Courage Quest Levels
| Quest | Player Level | Objective | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| In the Name of Courage | Level 20+ | Kill Evil Tao Beard in Rattan Cave | 3 Courage Badges |
| In the Name of Courage | Level 50+ | Kill Blaze Skull Marshal in Bewitcher Cave | 10 Courage Badges |
| In the Name of Courage | Level 70+ | Kill Reviviscent Green Robe Master in Chill Wind Cave | 30 Courage Badges |
Additional rewards include Gold and experience.
These quests are designed as boss challenges, encouraging players to form parties to defeat dungeon bosses.
Courage Badge & Hero Badge
There are two types of badges used in the system.
Courage Badge
Courage Badges are the basic reward currency obtained from Courage quests.
They can be used to:
-
Exchange for items
-
Convert into Hero Badges
-
Buy special consumables
Hero Badge
Hero Badges are a higher tier currency.
Players can exchange:
-
200 Courage Badges → 1 Hero Badge
-
1 Hero Badge → 200 Courage Badges
This allows players to convert badges depending on the reward they want.
Courage Merchant
NPC Role
The Courage Merchant is the NPC that allows players to exchange their badges for valuable items and mounts.
After collecting enough Courage Badges or Hero Badges, players can trade them for rewards.
