Mechanics[ | ]

Equipping this item grants the Kingmaker's Presence buff to nearby allies. It does not affect the user.

Kingmaker's Presence status icon
30% increased Rarity of Items found
Culling Strike
+50% to Critical Strike Multiplier
Fortify

Note that the "nearby" range is very small; it is measured to be a 30 unit radius. Using the Meat Shield support will keep an Animate Guardian equipped with the Kingmaker from wandering outside of the player character's range while standing still. When the character walks around however, the Animate Guardian will fall in and out of range to apply Kingmaker's Presence.
