I figured it out Zeb... I have to salvage purple items (around level 39) and get a purple lettered fragment. Then I take that fragment, a green-lettered gold dust, a purple-lettered curio, and a magic essence (all will require 200 TM) and make the talisman. Those should give me a chance to make a permanent +19 talisman.
I just made a +16 str. for 5 days talisman by salvaging a piece of bloodlord gear, so I can make as many of those as I get bloodlord pieces to do as well.
I plan on trying to make a +19 talisman as soon as I can afford the purple item to salvage, my only problem is that I haven't seen any 200 TM purple-lettered curios. If anyone has one, please let me know and I will buy it from you, as long as your price is reasonable.
