If you're looking to take Arthur Morgan to the next level, then a Red Dead Redemption 2 Perks, Trinkets, and Talismans list of what boosts are available will let you plan your upgrade path. You won't find a traditional levelling system in Red Dead Redemption 2, which means there's no skill tree to fill out or experience points to spend on progress towards new abilities. Instead, there are various items you can acquire on your travels, which will apply some useful bonuses and passive perks to enhance your skills while you have them applied.
To get the Trinkets and Talismans required for this, you'll have to go to one of the Red Dead Redemption 2 Fence locations then provide the correct ingredients (and cash) for their production. Some of the components are difficult to find, but the effort will be worth it when the finished items provide benefits such as increases to stamina, Eagle Eye duration, weapon durability, and more. We've got a full Red Dead Redemption 2 Perks, Trinkets, and Talismans list for your reference right here, so you'll know the exact ingredients you need to find and how much producing each item will cost.
