In Avowed, Paradisan Ladder is a crucial, rare upgrade material. This guide details five methods to acquire it:
1. Purchasing from Merylin: Merylin, a merchant in South Paradise (see map below), sells Paradisan Ladder and items that can be broken down to yield more. Her inventory doesn't replenish, so act quickly.
2. Foraging: Explore the game world. The Paradisan Ladder plant icon (a red circle on the mini-map, see image below) indicates its location. Be mindful of similar-looking plants.
3. Side Quests: Many side quests reward crafting materials, including Paradisan Ladder. The "Escape Plan" quest, for example, provides two units.
4. Item Deconstruction: Disassemble upgraded items at your workbench to reclaim Paradisan Ladder used in their creation. Check merchants' inventories for items containing it.
5. Downgrading Hylea's Talon: Once you reach Emerald Stair and acquire Hylea's Talon (a higher-tier material), you can downgrade each one into three Paradisan Ladder units at your workbench's downgrade function.
Mastering these methods ensures a steady supply of Paradisan Ladder for optimal equipment upgrades in Avowed.
