Unlock And Enable Path Of Glory

Path of Glory unlocks at character level 6. Before entering a hunt, opt in through the current mode controls. The official DevNote describes participation as an individual choice, so party members can decide separately.

  1. Reach character level 6

    The ranked progression option becomes available at this character-level threshold.

  2. Enable it before departure

    Confirm the Path of Glory choice before the hunt begins; do not assume it activates automatically.

  3. Check each party member

    Participation is individual even when the party enters the same underlying match.

  4. Use regular matchmaking

    Path of Glory is an opt-in progression layer, not a separate matchmaking queue.

How Score Is Earned And Lost

The system rewards useful hunt outcomes rather than one fixed action. Extraction, defeated monsters, completed tasks, and assets carried out can contribute, while failing to extract can reduce the result.

Positive progressSuccessful extraction, monsters, tasks, and extracted assets can contribute to the run score.
Failure riskA failed extraction can deduct points, so a good run still needs an exit decision.
Run capA hunt has a score ceiling; exact current limits should be checked in the in-game Path of Glory panel.
No static point table hereAction values, caps, and tier thresholds are intentionally not frozen into this guide without a current first-party table.

The Practical Risk Decision

Path of Glory turns the normal extraction choice into a ranked decision. Once the run has meaningful progress, another fight is not free upside: it also risks the extraction result and any score that depends on bringing the run home.

Bank a good run

Route toward extraction when task progress and carried value already satisfy the objective.

Avoid score-chasing tunnel vision

Do not cross the map for one more action when healing, cooldowns, or exit options are weak.

Separate rank from loadout value

A higher-risk kit can improve combat power but raises the account cost of a failed route.

Review the current panel

Use the live client for exact tier progress, caps, rewards, and any rules changed after a patch.

Tiers And Current-Rule Checks

Public descriptions agree on seven tiers running from Duskborn to Zenith. This guide does not publish fixed thresholds or reward numbers because those are the details most likely to become stale after balance changes.
