Epic Destinies

From DDO Compendium


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.

You can be in up to three Epic Destinies at a time. You select up to three trees at a time in a drop-down menu of the user interface, socketing them into place in your Epic Destiny window, just as you select your Heroic Enhancement Trees. You can spend points freely between these three trees, and resetting your Epic Destiny points out of a tree will allow you to choose a new one.

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]

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 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.
