A Held Item Contract adds a species-specific effect to a Held Item. It enhances the corresponding Aniimo's signature skill when that species equips the item.
Held Item Contracts unlock at Wayfarer II. Raise a gold-quality Held Item to level 15 to unlock its second advanced effect and Pact function. Equip it to the intended Aniimo, choose Form Contract, and review the required materials.
The contract belongs to the species rather than only the individual used to create it. Another individual of that species can benefit from the effect; a different species cannot activate it.
Choose the species carefully and read the contract preview before confirming. The ordinary item stats and the contract effect are separate parts of the equipment.
Finding contract materials
Report captured Alpha Aniimo at an Outpost Research Console and progress Holo-Battle Sim to obtain Marks of the Strong: Breezy Plains. The Companion Handbook level 40 reward lists five Marks on the free track and five more on the Advanced track; check the current season's reward screen before buying a pass for that reward.
The Held Items catalogue compares main stats, ordinary core effects, advanced tiers, Alpha equipment drops and the Family Reunion choice pack. Core Skill Contracts gives the ordinary and boosted skill effects for each supported creature.
Contract material cost
The listed contract requires 10 Marks of the Strong: Breezy Plains. After the eligible gold Held Item reaches level 15 and opens its second advanced effect, equip it to the intended Aniimo and open Form Contract. Check the species and material count in that confirmation before spending the Marks.
