For players building their characters from the start of the game, it might seem that the skill table is too limited. But once you reach level 50, Paragon Boards in Diablo 4 will unlock. From level 50 until you reach level 100, you will invest in your Paragon boards to level up your characters and build.
Here, we will look at how Paragon boards work in Diablo 4.
How to level up Paragon Boards in Diablo 4
Once you reach level 50 in Diablo 4, you will unlock the Paragon Boards instead of your regular skill tables. To unlock the Paragons in your new board, players will start earning Paragon Points instead of the regular skill points they had been getting previously.
You get one Paragon point for every quarter of a level you fulfill, meaning that for every level you get, you will be getting four Paragon points instead of one. You can also get four Paragon points from the Renown from each of the five zones in Diablo 4.
This makes the Paragon points you can get in Diablo 4 tally up to 220—200 from leveling up to level 100 and 20 from Renown.
Types of Paragon nodes in Diablo 4
There are six types of Paragon Nodes:
- Common Nodes
- Magic Nodes
- Rare Nodes
- Legendary Nodes
- Gate Nodes
- Glyph Nodes
Common Nodes offer basic upgrades to your stats like Strength and Willpower. You must unlock these to get to other nodes on your Paragon board. Hence they are also called Travel Nodes.
Magic Nodes offer either higher stats upgrades or minor passive buffs to your character. Magic Nodes are often found around Rare Nodes and work to enhance the effects of the Rare nodes they are close to.
Rare Nodes offer powerful buffs to your passive abilities in Diablo 4. Rare Nodes always offer two bonuses, and might also offer a third bonus, provided the requirements are met. These requirements can only be fulfilled by unlocking Common Nodes, and the requirements increase as you further descend on the Paragon Board in D4.
Every Paragon board has a single Legendary Node, which offers brand-new abilities, making it the heart of the Paragon board.
Gate Nodes allow players to move from one Paragon board to the next. Every Paragon board in D4 has 4 Gate Nodes connecting it to other Paragons. Selecting which Gate Node you want to use might allow you to access the best Paragons of the other board quickly.
Lastly, like Legendary, every table has a single Glyph Node for placing a Glyph. These Glyphs can be unlocked from Nightmare Dungeons. You can freely choose what Glyph you want to equip so that it benefits your build the best.
With the basic information about Paragon Boards, let us look at what Paragon Boards are offered for each class in Diablo 4.
