In Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred introduces a new type of currency to the game, Pale Marks. These marks are closely tied to Mercenary system, and as you level up Mercenaries in the game, you’ll be rewarded with a certain number of Pale Marks.
These companions will not only accompany you on your solo adventures, but they can also help you obtain powerful Legendary gear and Mercenary loot caches through Pale Marks they bring. Although the specific sources of Pale Marks are not clearly stated in the game, players can easily accumulate this currency in a variety of ways.
In addition, the design of the loot system does bring a lot of challenges to players, especially for those who are eager to obtain specific equipment. Take Shroud of False Death as an example. This chest armor has become one goal pursued by many players because of its powerful properties. But given its rarity and the uncertainty of the drop mechanism, obtaining it may require a certain amount of patience and strategy.
In order to increase the chances of obtaining this equipment, we provide players with three strategies that can be adopted. As for which is your best choice, it will mainly depend on your luck and the reagents you have to make it. Of course, besides accumulating resources through daily quests and activities, some players may consider using Diablo 4 Gold to speed up the process.
How To Get Pale Marks?
First, improving your relationship with Mercenaries is an important way to earn Pale Marks. Whenever you level up with a Mercenary’s Rapport, you will usually receive a batch of 100 to 200 coins. These coins can be used at Fayira in Den to obtain Legendary gear and loot caches.
Once you reach the maximum Rapport with a particular Mercenary, all XP you receive from that Mercenary will be converted into 200 Pale Marks. This means that once you have established the deepest relationship with a Mercenary, you can continue to gain Pale Marks by accumulating experience, and there is no upper limit to this process.
This mechanism applies to all mercenaries who have reached the highest Rapport. Pale Marks are account-bound resources, allowing players to use them on multiple characters.
How To Use Pale Marks?
The use of Pale Marks is relatively limited, and they are mainly redeemed through Fayira in Den. Players can use Pale Marks in Fayira’s shop to redeem various Diablo 4 Items, including Mercenary caches that unlock as Mercenary Rapport increases. Each character can unlock two bartering upgrades at Rapport 5 and 8.
If Fayira’s shop doesn’t have an item you’re interested in, you’ll have one free chance to reopen the barter shop each day, but each re-roll after that will cost 50 Pale Marks. Items in the shop usually cost between 20 and 50 Pale Marks, but aspect caches can cost slightly more on average.
Shroud Of False Death Explained
All classes can use this mythic unique chest armor, which has unparalleled properties and unique effects, providing the wearer with a bonus to all passive skills +1, all stats +160, and max life +800, making the wearer more powerful in battle.
In addition, when the wearer enters the invisible state, the damage of the next attack will be increased by 333%, which is a tremendous advantage for any class. Moreover, Shroud Of False Death also has the effect of resource generation +11.1%.
However, the real uniqueness of Shroud Of False Death is that if you do not cause damage within two seconds, it will make you enter the invisible state and provide 40% movement speed. This allows the wearer to dodge enemy attacks more flexibly in battle, while also making better use of the additional damage effect after entering the invisible state.
How To Get Shroud Of False Death?
There are three main ways to get Shroud Of False Death:
1. Craft It At The Blacksmith
Before you can craft Shroud Of False Death you first need to get 6 Bac Runes, 6 Moni Runes, 6 Kry Runes and 2 Resplendent Sparks. You can get these crafting materials by exploring and completing Kurast Undercity endgame content. In addition, Uber bosses are another good way to get crafting runes. These powerful enemies often drop rare runes and equipment.
As for Resplendent Sparks, you can get them through season journeys, or by defeating Uber bosses. Season journeys are a regularly updated game mode that provides additional challenges and rewards, including Resplendent Sparks.
2. Get It As A Boss Drop
You can also choose to farm the following bosses to get Shroud of False Death.
- Beast in the Ice
- Echo of Andariel
- Echo of Duriel
- Grigoire
- Lord Zir
- Varshan
While the drop rates from these bosses may not be the best, grinding these bosses may be the easiest way to get Shroud of False Death, although this may become tedious or time-consuming. But Shroud of False Death is a very useful piece of equipment for any profession, especially Spiritborn. Therefore, if you want to get this powerful equipment, you might as well try to challenge these bosses.
3. Gamble At Purveyor Of Curiosities
In addition to the two main methods mentioned above, you can also get it by gambling at Purveyor of Curiosities for mythic Uniques.
In summary, I hope this guide will be helpful for players who are eager to own these two items. Paying attention to Giveaway channel in IGGM discord is also an excellent opportunity to obtain rare items and equipment. Diablo 4 product giveaway information will be released from time to time.
