Ancient's Pledge
Lvl 21
++
v1.09

Used for an easy early resistance boost and better survivability. This is a really nice early shield upgrade when tougher content starts hitting harder.

What's New

September 2026Recent Updates
  • ★

    Values added to Unique and Set Items

    To help newer players know what's worth keeping, the following values are added. Valuable -> Tradeable -> Niche -> Leveling -> Low Value. Hover over Valuable and Tradeable pills for which stats matter.

  • ★

    Affix Rolls Now Matter More

    All item scorers now adjust incrementally based on the actual affix roll, with score changes down to 0.05. Better rolls now earn better scores instead of falling into the same broad bucket, making the final rating more sensitive to the quality of the item you actually found.

  • ★

    New & Returning Player Hub

    Added a new New & Returning Players Hub covering the stuff that matters when starting fresh or coming back to D2R — class choices, progression, important quests, rushing, gear basics, runes, sockets, and the key systems worth remembering as you work through the game.
