How to get it
The Pact of Stone Card drops from a hidden chest in the crypt beneath Bastion Keep. The chest spawns only after:
- All 4 sarcophagi are opened.
- The party speaks the phrase “Pact of stone, hold fast” at the central altar (any party member).
- The chest spawns in the western alcove.
Drop rate is 6% per qualifying clear on Standard, 12% on Hard. Expect 8-15 clears on average.
Best recipients
- Knight — BiS card for tanking builds through Lv 95+.
- Paladin — BiS for tanking builds; healers swap to the Mitre of Sanctity instead.
- Warrior / Berserker — usable but suboptimal; they prefer damage-scaling cards.
Card stacking
Cards do not stack — equipping the same card twice does nothing. Common endgame loadouts for Knights:
- Pact of Stone (+10% HP, +5% Defense)
- Iron Sentinel (+5% Guard effectiveness)
- Snarling Boar (+6% Vitality — still useful at endgame)
- Whetstone (+3% Attack Speed) or Iron Wall (+8% Defense)
This 4-card combo gives +16% effective HP and +13% Defense — the foundation of any Lv 80+ tanking build.
FAQ
Q: Can the Pact of Stone Card drop at legendary rarity? A: No — it’s locked at epic in Early Access.
Q: Is the +10% HP additive with the Iron Will set bonus? A: Yes — additive. With Iron Will 4-piece (+8% HP) + Pact of Stone (+10% HP) + Snarling Boar (+6% Vitality), you get +18% HP plus the Vitality bonus.
Q: Can the hidden altar chest be cheesed? A: No — the chest is bound to the qualifying clear. Re-entering the dungeon without re-doing the steps won’t spawn it again.
