Also, let me add, that doing the Elven crafting quests [bowyer Elf quest] can gain a nice talisman. This Bow-crafting tally can increase your Bowyer/Fletching skill and the exceptional percentage chance for crafting any item-- in the Bow-crafting field.
Imagine you get one with 21% exceptional chance... add that to your 50% and with 71% chance you are on your way to something good.
Let me state that you will have to work at getting a nice one of these talismans. However, luck of the draw has happened, so you never know.
Good Luck!
