First Ascent Boots

First Ascent Boots is a Legendary Warlock leg armor (Armor) from the First Ascent armor set, introduced with The Final Shape and sourced from The Pale Heart. It is the Warlock leg piece of the set.

Overview

First Ascent is a five-piece Legendary armor set for each class (Hunter, Titan, Warlock): Helmet, Gauntlets, Chest Armor, Leg Armor and Class item. Its set perks are "Stack 'Em Up" (2 pieces), which gives a stacking bonus to Transcendence energy gain while Transcendence is inactive when you defeat targets with unique elemental damage, and "Burn 'Em Down" (4 pieces), which lets grenades consume stacks for escalating grenade energy while Transcendence is active. Only four pieces are needed for the full bonus, leaving room for an Exotic. The flavor text of this piece reads: "To enter the body of a deity would be to unquestionably defile it."

Acquisition

The piece is awarded by the The Return quest from Micah-10 in The Pale Heart, after completing the Iconoclasm campaign mission of The Final Shape. Micah's quests arrive in bundles and are a post-campaign grind; unlocking a piece also unlocks its variants for the other classes.
