Diablo 4 features a vastly expanded endgame component compared to its predecessors, and there's plenty of loot to grind and demons to slay well after finishing the main campaign. Once players reach Level 50, they'll gain access to the Paragon Board, a new progression system that offers a ton of buildcrafting potential and flexibility.
The Paragon Board system in Diablo 4 lets players fine-tune their builds by adding extra stats and modifiers that rival Legendary Aspects. Every board (except the first one) has a powerful passive that can greatly change how a character is played, but players need to actually unlock these new boards in the first place before they can continue tinkering with their builds.
How to Get More Paragon Boards in Diablo 4
Leveling any class past 50 will no longer give players any Skill Points. Instead, they will gain Paragon Points, which can be spent on a Paragon Board to unlock Normal, Magic, Rare, and Legendary nodes. Players must unlock enough nodes and reach a Board Attachment Gate. Invest a point into the gate, then click on it again to enter the Board Selection Screen.
The screen will present players with up to eight Paragon Board options, each featuring a Legendary Node that revolves around one of the player character's playstyles. Barbarians, for example, have Legendary Nodes that generate Fury every time they switch weapons or increase the damage dealt to bleeding enemies.
After selecting a board, click on the "Preview" button to enter a new screen. Here, players will get to choose where they can start spending Paragon Points on their new board. It's best to pick a starting point that's closest to an important Rare node that coincides with a character's current build.
Every additional board has three different Board Attachment Gates on each edge. Players must make their way toward these gates to unlock even more Paragon Boards.
Up to four Paragon Points can be earned per level—one at the beginning and three more along the way to the next level, as indicated by the small notches on the EXP bar. Each individual point can be invested into any node as long as it is connected to another node that's already unlocked. Paragon Boards can also be undone by refunding all active nodes and removing the Board Attachment Gate. Players will then be able to pick and experiment with a new Paragon Board that best fits their build.
Diablo 4 launches on June 6 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
