Renown System Rewards
Each main Zone has its own Renown counter. At certain thresholds, the points you collected unlock rewards. The stages are split up into an account wide bonus and a character-specific reward. Fresh characters start with 0 Renown in all zones.
Here's the breakdown of the stages and their rewards:
| Stages 1. 80 points 2. 100 points (180 Total) 3. 120 points (300 Total) 4. 200 points (500 Total) 5. 300 points (800 Total) |
| Account Wide Character Bonuses +1 Skill Point +1 Potion Charge +1 Skill Point +1 Skill Point +4 Paragon Points |
| Reward per Character Each stage provides you with 10,000 Gold and some Experience (depends on Character Level and stage). |
Collecting Renown Points
Points are rewarded by completing the following objectives:
| Discover Areas: 2 points Pick up Waypoints: 10 points Activate Altars of Lilith: 5 points |
| Complete a Stronghold: 50 points Complete a Side Quest: 15 points Finish Dungeons: 20 points |
Tips & Tricks
- Focus on completing stages 1-4 early as they are fast and grant a lot of extra power.
- Find the route that combines as many objectives as possible:
- Complete Dungeons that award Aspects for the Codex of Power that help boost your Character's power.
- Clear the 3 Strongholds in each Zone.
- Find short Side Quests and complete them. If you enter a dungeon for a Side Quest objective, complete it to gain the additional Points.
- Collect all Altars of Lilith.
- Do not enter cellars as they don't grant any points.
- Events don't contribute to Renown, so you can skip them.
Summary
- Collect Renown points in each zone to complete the 5 reward stages by collecting Waypoints, discovering new sub-zones, finding Altars of Lilith, or completing Strongholds, Side Quests, and Dungeons.
- The system gives a global Skill Point and Paragon Point bonus to all characters on your account.
- Each Character starts with 0 points in all zones. Complete their progress to gain large boosts in experience.
- Skip cellars and Events if you're trying to complete the Renown stages as quickly as possible.
