Paradise helps players earn valuable rewards through three interconnected activities:[/p][p][/p][p]Elysian[/p][p]Fight waves of monsters to collect Legacy of Paradise gear—a new set of upgradeable equipment (e.g. belt, cloak) that only applies within Paradise. Gear is tiered and can be upgraded through:[/p]- [p]Restoration – which boosts base stats[/p][/*]
- [p]Resonance – adds bonus effects once restoration thresholds are met[/p][/*]
- [p]Includes valuable first-time clear rewards, along with weekly class-based leaderboards reward players with Hell Keys. Every player who participates will receive some keys, with players who place higher receiving higher grade and more keys.[/p][/*]
- [p]Earn and equip the Orb, a special gear piece that carries power outside of Paradise and scales based on your peak seasonal progression.[/p][/*]
- [p]Clearing floors will be easy, like a chaos dungeon. It’s more about trying to hit some lucky effects and descend as far as possible.[/p][/*]
- [p]Loot includes gold, upgrade materials, Paradise gear, and the rewards are selectable at the end to give players a choice of what they need most between the available options.[/p][/*]
