How to Get Paradisan Ladder in Avowed
Five primary methods exist for obtaining Paradisan Ladder: purchasing from Merilyn, foraging, side quest rewards, item deconstruction, and downgrading Hylea's Talon.
Merylin the Merchant
Merilyn, located in South Paradise (see map), offers the fastest guaranteed method. She sells five Paradisan Ladder units at 150 coins each. She also sells two deconstructible items – the Many-Hued Doublet and the Common Grimoire of Elements – each yielding two additional units. Note that her inventory doesn't replenish.
Exploring for Paradisan Ladder
Paradisan Ladder plants can be found throughout Avowed's world and occasionally in cities. The plant icon on your minimap (red circle in image) indicates their presence. While other plants may resemble it, actively searching your immediate vicinity during gameplay steadily increases your supply.
Side Quests
Avowed's difficulty curve incentivizes side quests, many of which reward Paradisan Ladder. For example, the early quest "Escape Plan" provides two units. Completing side quests offers additional Paradisan Ladder alongside experience and other rewards.
Breaking Down Items
Deconstructing items yields base crafting materials and, importantly, Paradisan Ladder from higher-tier items already upgraded with it. A Common Sword upgraded with Paradisan Ladder, for example, will return some upon deconstruction. Check merchant inventories for items listing Paradisan Ladder in their deconstruction details.
Downgrading Hylea's Talon
Hylea's Talon, a higher-tier material obtained in Emerald Stair, can be downgraded at your party camp workbench (Crafting tab, Downgrade section) into three Paradisan Ladder units each. This is ideal for switching weapon types or quickly upgrading weaker weapons.
Conclusion
This guide covers all known methods for acquiring Paradisan Ladder in Avowed. Utilize these strategies to efficiently manage your upgrade materials and optimize your build.
