How the Paragon Board works in Diablo 4

inarius diablo 4

Despite how deep your character builds can get in Diablo 4, the game does a decent job of slowly dishing out its mechanics and complexities over time. You start out gaining levels as expected, then are introduced to the Renown system, and not much else to confuse you for quite a while. Once you hit level 50, the game throws out another layer of complexity, this one far more confusing and intimidating than the others called the Paragon Board. If you're new to Diablo, seeing this new system will almost certainly overwhelm you. However, understanding and taking full advantage of it is essential if you expect to keep up with the end-game content. Don't get stun-locked by this massive system and let us show you exactly how the Paragon Board works in Diablo 4.
What is the Paragon Board?

In short, the Paragon Board is how you can keep strengthening your character beyond the level cap in Diablo 4. Once you hit level 50, alongside traditional XP, you will start to accumulate what is known as Paragon Points to spend on the board. Each point can be used to unlock a node on the board that grants your character some associated buff or bonus.

How to transmog gear in Diablo 4

You're going to be scoring a lot of loot while playing through Diablo 4, and you certainly have no use for the vast majority of it. But just because it doesn't have the stats you're looking for doesn't mean that it can't look cooler than what you're already wearing. That's where transmog comes in. It allows you to save the look of any armor piece and apply it to a new piece so that you can ensure you're always maintaining whatever aesthetic you desire. We'll share with you how the transmog system works below.
How to transmog in Diablo 4
To transmog your gear in Diablo 4, you'll need to find and visit a wardrobe, which can commonly be found in settlements across the lands. You can identify a wardrobe's location by looking across the map for its icon, which looks like, well, a standard two-door wardrobe. No surprises there.

Once you find your way to a wardrobe, you'll have a few different options: You can change some basic character features, such as makeup and jewelry, or you can begin applying new looks to your gear. When choosing the latter, you'll be able to apply the appearance of any pieces of gear that you've previously salvaged at a blacksmith. You'll also have the option to switch up the color of the gear to further customize your character's vibe.
