Description
Ancients' Pledge is a cheap Runeword that you can also make using the Runes that you get from completing the quest ' Rescue on Mount Arreat'.
Key details
- The shield carries many resistances which makes it a cheap and easy way to get them for Nightmare and Hell difficulties, which makes it a favored choice until the player has access to the resistances on other pieces of gear.
D2Emu Tips
- You can buy a 3 socketed Large Shield or Kite Shield from Fara at Lut Gholein (Act 2) on Normal difficulty.
- If you don't need the "10% Damage Goes To Mana" socket the shield with 3 Perfect Diamond will give you more resistances (57@).
- Farm norm countess for Ith, Tal and Ral runes and use the cube in Act 2 to make an Ort.
