Cartouche

A cartouche,^[1]^[2] also known as an orb, is the vectorized illustration behind a shaman's skill points.

The amount of skill points shown on top of a players cartouche does not denote total skill points, but rather the amount that has been allocated. For example, if one were to be level 100, but only have 50 skill points allocated, the cartouche would display the number 50, not 100.

Cartouches on one's personal profile (notice how only the cartouche the user is using is highlighted)

These come in two types:

Default – Default shaman cartouches are determined by the skill with the most points spent. For example, a mechanician shaman will have a cog/gear cartouche while a physicist shaman will have plasma balls forming an electric current. These were first introduced with the addition of skills.
Event/adventure – These cartouches are obtained via events. Once obtained, they are permanent, and can be chosen on one's profile page. To revert to default, one can simply click the first plain orb. These were introduced with the Christmas 2015 event.^[1]

Trivia[]

The "blue dragon"-themed cartouche was created by Christouffe. Melibellule stated that it is the most astonishing cartouche she has ever integrated.^[3]^[4]
Originally, the Racing 2016 content adventure only provided players with one cartouche that was composed of a trophy, checkered flag, and laurel. However, three days later, the cartouche was split into three portions, possibly to prevent clutter and allow for more prizes.
For non-default cartouches, these are referred to as "macaron" instead of cartouches in the game files.
