Obtaining Paradisan Ladder in Avowed
Five primary methods exist for obtaining Paradisan Ladder: purchasing from Merilyn, foraging, side quest rewards, deconstructing items, and downgrading Hylea's Talon.
Merilyn the Merchant

Merilyn, located in South Paradise (see map), offers the fastest guaranteed method. She initially sells five Paradisan Ladder units at 150 coins each. She also sells two deconstructible items – the Many-Hued Doublet and the Common Grimoire of Elements – yielding two additional units each. Note that her inventory doesn't replenish after purchase.
Foraging in the Wild and Cities

Paradisan Ladder can be found while exploring, identifiable by its plant icon on the minimap (red circle in image). While other plants may resemble it, actively searching your immediate surroundings during gameplay provides a steady, free supply.
Side Quest Rewards
Avowed's difficulty curve incentivizes side quests, many of which reward Paradisan Ladder. For example, the early quest "Escape Plan" provides two units. Completing these quests offers additional Paradisan Ladder alongside experience and other rewards.
Item Deconstruction
Deconstructing items at a workbench yields base crafting materials, including Paradisan Ladder from higher-tier items previously upgraded with it. Check merchant inventories for unique items with Paradisan Ladder listed in their deconstruction details.
Downgrading Hylea's Talon

Hylea's Talon, a higher-tier material obtained in Emerald Stair, can be downgraded at a workbench into three Paradisan Ladder units each. This is useful for quickly upgrading different weapons.
This comprehensive guide covers all methods for acquiring Paradisan Ladder in Avowed, allowing players to optimize their builds efficiently.
