What Resets (Permanently Lost)

  • Character level (returns to 1)
  • Quest progress on active quests (complete or abandon before prestiging)
  • Temporary buffs and consumable effects

What You KEEP

  • All inventory items, gear, and stored equipment
  • All gold in your inventory and bank
  • Crafting skills (all 5 categories)
  • Faction reputation with all factions
  • Achievements and titles
  • Guild membership and rank
  • Purchased skills (class abilities bought with Skill Points are refunded but the abilities are re-unlocked when you next spend them)

Permanent Prestige Bonuses

🏆 Prestige Tier Rewards

  • Prestige 1: +15% XP from all sources, Prestige Aura cosmetic (visible to others), access to Prestige-only gear vendor
  • Prestige 2: +10% gold from all sources, +5% drop rate, Prestige 2 title and cosmetic
  • Prestige 3: +5% all stats permanently, access to Prestige-only questlines, unique cosmetic set
  • Prestige 4: Unlock the Prestige subclass (4th subclass option unavailable to non-prestige players)
  • Prestige 5: Grandmaster title, +10% all stats (stacks with P3), access to Prestige Council faction with its own questline

Checklist Before Prestiging

Do these things before confirming Prestige:

  1. Complete or abandon all active quests with meaningful rewards
  2. Spend all accumulated Skill Points (they are refunded but you won't be able to use them until appropriate level)
  3. Clear your mail inbox (mail items are lost if over 30 days old)
  4. Stock up on XP boosters (Blood Moon Elixirs) to accelerate the re-level
  5. Ensure your gear is stored in your bank (not equipped — equipped gear is kept but useless at level 1)

Optimal Prestige Timing

Most veterans recommend: Prestige during a Blood Moon event (active XP bonus on re-level) after completing the current content tier. Don't prestige mid-patch-cycle if you're active in competitive content — the level reset temporarily removes you from PvP viability.

How Long to Re-Level?

With Prestige 1 XP bonus (+15%) and efficient leveling:

  • First playthrough (no bonus): 14–21 days of active play
  • Prestige 1 re-level: 10–16 days
  • Prestige 2 re-level (with both bonuses stacked): 7–12 days
  • Prestige 3+ re-level: 5–8 days
