Pacts

Pacts are swappable pieces of equipment worn upon the Envoy's Fey-touched right arm. A starter Pact may be claimed during Rise, Envoy, but Envoys are not locked into their starting Pact, and may eventually collect all Pacts in the game.

They are the closest Soulframe offers to gameplay 'classes' - some Pacts provide powerful combat buffs like

Tethren

, while others may focus on stealth and subterfuge like

Sirin

. Each Pact lends power to the Envoy in various ways:

Passives
Experience Passive Abilities unique to each Pact, available through its Pact Arts tree. From a grappling hook to sling towards Foes, to a great Omen Wolf who may fight by your side – when it pleases her, of course.

Similarly to Weapons, Pacts are primarily obtained via Crafting, and can be Leveled from Rank 0 to 30. Pacts in the Envoy's possession will consume Storage Capacity.

• The colour of the player's equipped Pact can be customized at Verminia, using any of the player's unlocked Palettes.

• Unlike Armour, Pacts cannot yet be transmogged - but Pact Transmog was confirmed as an upcoming feature in Devstream 10. It may take a different form to Bestitching, as it will be more 'special' and 'involved' versus Armour Bestitching.

Pacts are the essence of powerful individuals, bestowed upon one with a Fey-touched arm, such as Envoys. Pacts can be made with Fey, Omen Beasts, Deities, or even other Envoys. Once a Pact is made, it is unknown if there is a way for the granter to revoke it - as the Envoy can still use the

pact despite being cast from their ranks.

At least

has been capable of draining an Envoy's Pact of its power, if only temporarily.
