Crial's Talisman  

 

Crial is one of a category of WW dragons that drop 6/5 talis. Most of these are random roamers - a fact that often makes it easier to get a 7/6 tali than a 6/5. Of the dragons who *do* drop 6/5 talis, however, Crial is one of the easiest. He is not SoW'ed, does not silence, does not fluxproc, and does not gate, and it is generally easier for people to prepare resists for the fire-based dragons than for the cold-based ones. While he's a good bit harder than a nest dragon, he does drop the better talisman as a reward - and should you find him (in a position to pull him safely) he's still easier than Ayllish, the easiest of the 7/6 tali dragons.

Also, Crial drops bracers as his piece of dragonhide armor - one of the few pieces of dragonhide armor that is likely to still be worthwhile with 2 new expansions of gear available to upcoming characters.

Edit: corrected a reference to "7/5 talismans" that was meant to read 7/6.
