The very first time an epic destiny is chosen, it must be one that is associated with a classes that the character has currently leveled.  The character must have at least 6 levels in the primary or secondary classes associated with that destiny.  Listed below is a table of the destinies, which sphere they are in, and both the primary and secondary classes that can be used when picking a destiny '''''for the first time.'''''

Epic destinies UI (accessible by '''CTRL+E''') is used for all four aspects of working with Epic Destinies.  If you open this window before you are Level 20, you will get a message that you can't modify your twists until you are level 20.  Be aware that this message will appear every time you zone.

=== Map View ===
[[File:Epic_Destiny_UI_Map_View.png|link=|caption=Highlighted for Effect]]
 
If you are in the Tree View, you can click the tab at the top to switch to the map view of the destinies. The map view gives you an overall display of the destinies, how they fit in the spheres, and what is needed to move between the destinies and spheres (explained below).There are 4 parts (each separately highlighted), described below:
* '''Sphere''' ''Highlighted in Purple''
** This shows all the destinies that are in the same sphere
** Spheres are used for moving, and [[Destiny Feats|Epic Destiny Feats]], and [[Epic Reincarnation]]
* '''Destiny''' ''Highlighted in Blue''
** This shows information about a destiny (image and levels achieved).
** If it is the active destiny, there will be a white glow around it
* '''Transfer Lines''' ''Highlighted in Yellow''
** These show you which destinies you have unlocked, and which ones you can pick
** If all the circles are filled in between two destinies, you have unlocked the ability to travel between the destinies
** If that travel line is unlocked, you can pick that destiny on the tree view
* '''Karma''' ''Highlighted in Green''
** This shows the amount of Karma you have within that sphere
** Once you have 6,000,000 Karma, you can [[Epic Reincarnate]] using this sphere as the past life
** If you Epic Reincarnate using a sphere, the Karma will be used, and set back to 0
 
== Leveling and Switching Destinies ==
As you gain experience in epic levels, you also gain experience in the active destiny.  Just like heroic levels, destiny levels are divided into 5 ranks, and for the first 4 ranks you gain an destiny point that can be spent in the active destiny tree.  There is a maximum of 24 destiny points available for each destiny to spend in the tree.  You can switch between destinies by using the Tree View (explained above).
 
Each destiny has a separate amount of experience, so you must gain XP in each destiny separately. As you gain XP, the circles on the transfer lines will be filled in.  When you have 3 filled in you can move between destinies in the same tree, and when 4 filled in you can also move between the spheres, just to the destinies that are attached to the transfer line.

== Twists of Fate ==
Twists of Fate give a character the ability to use a limited number of enhancements from destinies that are not the active destiny.  You "buy" slots by using Fate Points that are earned during play.  You are not able to twist in any of the core (lower row) enhancements within the destiny, only the Tier 1 through Tier 4 enhancements. If a slot is already filled with an enhancement you can override it by dragging another Tier appropriate enhancement from the '''Abilities''' list.
 
When you first purchase a slot, it will allow only Tier 1 enhancements. Each slot can be upgraded (for more Fate Points), up to allowing Tier 4 enhancements. You can completely reset your fate points by talking to the [[Fatespinner]] NPC, and then reallocate the points. Costs for purchasing and upgrading are shown in the below table.

=== Gaining Fate Points ===
Fate points can be gained in several ways:
# Every 3 levels gained in a destiny will give one destiny point
# When you reach character level 29, you will get 2 points
# When you reach character level 30, you will get 3 points
# Every 4 Epic Past Lives you have gives you a point
# [[Tome of Fate|Tomes of Fate]] can give you up to 3 points


If you do a reincarnation of any type, you won't lose any fate points with the exception of those that are gained when reaching Character Level 29 and Character Level 30 (a total of 5).
== Leveling  ==
As you level up beyond level 20, you will earn Destiny Points that you can spend in these Epic Destiny trees. Epic Levels now display their experience in Ranks, just like Heroic levels do. Each point is earned at each Rank of an Epic Level, which means that each Epic Level corresponds to 4 Destiny Points. The 5th rank of each Epic Level is the level itself, as it is in Heroics. This means that you'll earn Destiny Points at a steady rate rather than in large chunks every 5 ranks.

Overview[edit]

Epic destinies become available to characters at level 20. These are similar to enhancements, but buying entries in there is based on the level you are in that epic destiny. If you are interested in looking a each destinies tree, click on the navigation bar at the top of the page for the specific destiny you are wanting to see.


User Interface[edit]

Epic destinies UI (accessible by CTRL+E) is used for all four aspects of working with Epic Destinies. If you open this window before you are Level 20, you will get a tree view with nothing visible, and nothing can be changed.

Tree View[edit]

caption=Highlighted for Effect

When you first come in, you will see the above window. There are 3 parts (each separately outlined), described below:

  • Trees Outlined in Red
    • These are the trees where you can spend your destiny points.
    • This works exactly like Enhancements, just using destiny points not action points
    • Ones that you don't have access to are shown as grayed out.
  • Destiny Selection Outlined in Yellow
    • This contains the information about the tree that is directly above it
    • You can pick any destiny here, but only unlocked ones will be usable
  • Spending Control Outlined in Green
    • Contains how many points you can spend or have spent, a link to the destiny enhancements you have selected

Leveling[edit]

As you level up beyond level 20, you will earn Destiny Points that you can spend in these Epic Destiny trees. Epic Levels now display their experience in Ranks, just like Heroic levels do. Each point is earned at each Rank of an Epic Level, which means that each Epic Level corresponds to 4 Destiny Points. The 5th rank of each Epic Level is the level itself, as it is in Heroics. This means that you'll earn Destiny Points at a steady rate rather than in large chunks every 5 ranks.
