Torchlight Infinite Afterlight Pactspirit Guide: Vigil Gameplay Slot Setup
Many Torchlight Infinite SS13 Afterlight players cannot find the new Pactspirit setup because it does not appear in Auto Switch Settings. Instead, Afterlight uses a special Vigil Gameplay Slot for seasonal drops.
This guide explains the setup path, recommended Drop Pactspirits, and how to maximize seasonal rewards.
Afterlight Pactspirit Quick Setup Guide
Important: Afterlight Pactspirit settings are not found in Auto Switch Settings.
Open Pactspirit and switch from Current to Regular first.
Setup Path:
Pactspirit → Regular → Vigil Gameplay Slot → Overview → Pactspirit List → Afterlight
Select your Pactspirit combination and save it before entering an Afterlight stage.
Equip Drop Pactspirits that increase Afterlight rewards, such as:
- Miss Melancholy - Azure
- Chalk Spirit
- Twilight Sparks
Why You Cannot Find Afterlight in Auto Switch Settings
Afterlight is not listed in the normal Trigger Condition system because it uses a dedicated Vigil Gameplay Slot.
Unlike Netherrealm or Lunaria automation rules, Afterlight seasonal rewards are controlled through this special slot.
How the Vigil Gameplay Slot Works
After entering a stage, the Vigil Gameplay Slot becomes locked. All Afterlight-related drops in that stage will only use the Pactspirit combination placed in this slot.
Your normal active Pactspirits do not affect Vigil drops unless they are placed in this special slot.
If the slot is empty, your Vigil drops will not benefit from any Pactspirit bonuses.
Step-by-Step Setup
1. Open the Pactspirit Menu
Open your Pactspirit interface from the main game menu.
At the top of the page, you should see two sections:
- Current
- Regular
The Current page displays the Pactspirits your character is currently using. The Regular page contains Drop Pactspirit plans and gameplay-specific combinations.
2. Enter Vigil Gameplay Slot
Go to Regular and open the dedicated Vigil Gameplay Slot. Do not search for Afterlight under Trigger Conditions because its setup is handled separately.
3. Choose Your Afterlight Drop Pactspirits
Open the Pactspirit List and select your preferred Drop Pactspirits.
Prioritize Pactspirits that provide:
- Increased Drop Quantity
- Additional valuable drops
- Extra seasonal rewards
- Bonuses that interact directly with Afterlight gameplay
- Additional valuable drops
4. Save the Combination
Save the setup before entering an Afterlight stage.
The selected combination should then activate automatically for Vigil-related drops. You do not need to switch to it manually during the map.
Best Afterlight Pactspirits for Farming
The best setup depends on the Pactspirits available on your account.
Your best Pactspirit setup depends on whether you focus on seasonal rewards, Flame Fuel farming, or general drops.
Best Choice: Afterlight Drop Pactspirits
Start with Pactspirits that directly improve Afterlight-related rewards. These usually provide more value than generic bonuses because they interact with the seasonal reward system.
For example, Miss Melancholy – Azure can be placed in the seasonal slot when available.
Budget Choice: Drop Quantity Pactspirits
When you do not own strong Afterlight-specific options, fill the slot with Pactspirits that increase general Drop Quantity.
A basic Drop Quantity combination is still much better than leaving the slot empty.
Currency Farming Choice: Flame Fuel Pactspirits
Flame Fuel bonuses are useful when your goal is to generate more tradable currency while running Afterlight content.
Chalk Spirit for Flame Fuel Farming
Chalk Spirit is a practical option because it improves both Flame Fuel farming and general Drop Quantity, making it useful for players who want more consistent Afterlight rewards.
- Additional Flame Fuel Drop Quantity
- General Drop Quantity
- Chance to drop extra Flame Fuel
The exact value of Chalk Spirit depends on its level, upgrades, and the other Pactspirits in your combination.
Recommended Setup Priorities
Use the following order when building your Vigil Gameplay combination:
- Afterlight-specific reward bonuses
- Additional Flame Fuel Drop Quantity
- General Drop Quantity
- Seasonal drop bonuses
- Equipment or other secondary drop bonuses
Do not equip a Pactspirit only because it is Legendary. A lower-rarity Pactspirit with bonuses that directly affect Afterlight rewards may provide better farming results.
Common Setup Mistakes
Searching Only in Auto Switch Settings
Afterlight does not appear as a normal Trigger Condition because it has its own Vigil Gameplay Slot.
Leaving the Vigil Slot Empty
An empty slot means your seasonal drops will not receive the bonuses from your normal farming setup.
Even a basic Drop Quantity combination is better than using nothing.
Assuming the Current Setup Applies Everywhere
The Pactspirits displayed under Current are not automatically applied to every specialized gameplay system.
Vigil-related drops use the combination saved in the dedicated Vigil Gameplay Slot.
Changing Pactspirits After Entering the Stage
The game locks the effective Vigil combination when you enter the stage. Set up your Pactspirits before opening or entering the map instead of changing them after the run begins.
Using Combat Pactspirits Instead of Drop Pactspirits
The Vigil slot is intended to improve seasonal drops. Prioritize Drop Pactspirits rather than Pactspirits that only increase combat damage.
Afterlight Pactspirit FAQ
Why can't I find Afterlight in Auto Switch Settings?
Afterlight does not use the normal Auto Switch Settings. Instead, it uses the dedicated Vigil Gameplay Slot under Regular Pactspirit.
What happens if I leave the Vigil Slot empty?
Your Vigil drops will not receive any Pactspirit bonuses, so your Afterlight farming rewards will be lower.
Can normal Pactspirits affect Vigil drops?
No. Vigil-related drops are affected by the Pactspirits assigned to the Vigil Gameplay Slot, not your normal active Pactspirit setup.
Final Tips
Set up your Vigil Gameplay Slot before farming Afterlight content and keep it filled with Drop Pactspirits. Even basic Drop Quantity or Flame Fuel bonuses are better than leaving it empty.
