In Avowed, Paradisan Ladder is a crucial, rare upgrade material. This guide details five methods to acquire it efficiently.
Methods to Obtain Paradisan Ladder:
1. Purchase from Merilyn: Merilyn, a merchant located in South Paradise (see map below), sells Paradisan Ladder directly. She also sells items (Many-Hued Doublet and Common Grimoire of Elements) that can be broken down for additional Paradisan Ladder. Note: Her inventory doesn't respawn.
2. Foraging: Explore the game world. Paradisan Ladder plants are marked on your mini-map with a distinctive plant icon (see image below). Be mindful of similar-looking plants.
3. Side Quests: Many side quests reward crafting materials, including Paradisan Ladder. The early quest "Escape Plan" is one example.
4. Item Deconstruction: Disassemble higher-tier items previously upgraded with Paradisan Ladder to recover some of the material. Check merchant inventories for items with Paradisan Ladder listed in their breakdown components.
5. Downgrading Hylea's Talon: Once you reach Emerald Stair and obtain Hylea's Talon (a higher-tier material), you can downgrade it at your workbench to yield three Paradisan Ladder per Talon. Access the "Downgrade" option within the workbench's crafting menu.
By utilizing these methods, you can effectively manage your Paradisan Ladder supply and optimize your character's equipment.
