# Vaal Pact **Vaal Pact** is a [Keystone ](https://poedb.tw/us/Keystone) [[passive skill]] that grants doubled life leech speed and maximum life leech rate, but causes life regeneration to have no effect. ## Mechanics Interaction with [[Zealot's Oath]] The Zealot's Oath keystone causes life regeneration to restore energy shield instead of life. Vaal Pact applies before Zealot's Oath however; so taking it along with Zealot's Oath will not grant the character any energy shield regeneration. This will not prevent energy shield from recharging as it normally does. Additionally, it does not prevent other sources of energy shield regeneration, such as [[Shavronne's Revelation]], as it is specifically energy shield regeneration and not life regeneration converted by Zealot's Oath. ## Location Vaal Pact is located on the middle layer of the south side, on the east side of the Duelist's area. <div><table style="text-align: center"> <thead><tr> <th>Class </th> <th>Distance from start </th></tr></thead><tbody> <tr> <td>[[Duelist]]</td> <td>8 </td></tr> <tr> <td>[[Ranger]]</td> <td>10 </td></tr> <tr> <td>[[Scion]]</td> <td>14 </td></tr> <tr> <td>[[Marauder]]</td> <td>16 </td></tr> <tr> <td>[[Shadow]]</td> <td>18 </td></tr> <tr> <td>[[Templar]]</td> <td>24 </td></tr> <tr> <td>[[Witch]]</td> <td>24 </td></tr></tbody><tfoot></tfoot></table></div> ## Related unique items - [[Skin of the Lords]] <span class="explicitMod">Random Keystone</span> - [[Mahuxotl's Machination]] - [[Precursor's Emblem]] - [[Atziri's Acuity]] - [[Doomsower]]
