Avowed players quickly discover Paradisan Ladder's crucial role as a rare upgrade material. This guide outlines five methods to acquire this valuable herb:
1. Purchasing from Merylin: Merylin, a merchant in South Paradise (see map below), offers Paradisan Ladder for purchase. She also sells items breakable down into additional Paradisan Ladder. Her stock doesn't replenish, however.
2. Foraging: Paradisan Ladder plants appear throughout Avowed's world, both in the wilderness and cities. The plant icon on your mini-map indicates their presence (see image below). Be mindful of similar-looking plants.
3. Side Quests: Many side quests reward players with crafting materials, including Paradisan Ladder. The "Escape Plan" quest is an early example.
4. Item Deconstruction: Disassembling higher-tier items previously upgraded with Paradisan Ladder will yield some back. Check merchant inventories for items with Paradisan Ladder listed in their breakdown components.
5. Downgrading Hylea's Talon: Once you acquire Hylea's Talon (a higher-tier material), you can downgrade it at a workbench to obtain three Paradisan Ladder per Talon. This is useful for quickly upgrading a new weapon type.
Mastering these methods ensures a steady supply of Paradisan Ladder for optimal character progression in Avowed.
