What are destinies?

Introduction
Destinies are the main character development feature past level 20.
Destinies are independant of the character level.

Destinies are organized in 4 different spheres: arcane, divine, martial and primal. We'll see after what is the role of these spheres.

Here is a chart summarizing all spheres and destinies, and giving path between destinies:

Choosing a destiny
All level 20+ characters can pick a destiny.
Destinies need to be purchased (all the current ones are included with the expansion)

The first time a character choose a destiny, he can pick any destiny from the sphere matching his character class:
[LIST]
[*] Artificers, Bards, Sorcerers and Wizards can pick any destiny from the arcane sphere (Magister, Draconic incarnation or Fatesinger)
[*] Clerics, FvS and Paladins can pick any destiny from the divine sphere (Exalted angel or Undying sentinel)
[*] Fighters, Rogues and Monks can pick any destiny from the martial sphere (Legendary dreadnought, Grandmaster of Flower or Shadowdancer)
[*] Barbarians, Druids and Rangers can pick any destiny from the primal sphere (Fury of the wild or Shiradi champion)
[/LIST]

This choice happens only once for a character. To change destiny afterward, you'll need to unlock other destinies (see later).

If you are multiclassed, you can pick a starting destinies in sphere for which you have a character class higher than level 6. For example a Rog6/Wiz6/FvS8 could unlock any destiny from the Arcane, divine or martial sphere.

Leveling a destiny
Destinies level up like the character level: you gain experience for completing quests and from adventure areas.
Destinies are supposed to be faster to level up than epic level (currently on the beta it takes 40k xp to gain ranks for level 1 destiny ; and 100k xp to gain rank for a character level 20).

Each destiny has 5 level. each level is composed of 5 ranks (just like character level).
At each rank, you gain 1 AP that you can spend on the destiny tree, up to a maximum of 24 AP.

Each tree contains enhancements costing from 1 or 2 AP. Just like heroic enhancements, some enhancements have only 1 rank ; some up to 5 ranks.
Enhancements inside the tree are divided in tiers, each tier require a total amount of AP spent into the tree, by increments of 4: Tier 1 requires 0AP spent, Tier 2 4AP, Tier 3 8AP... up until Tier 6 that require 20AP.

Additionally each tree have "autogrants": abilities that are granted for free when enough AP have been spent inside the tree.
autogrants unlocking match the prerequisites of the tiers: each time you spend 4 AP, you gain a new autogrant (the last one, the capstone, is unlocked when you spent 20AP).

Some enhancements are said to require a minimum character level, but we don't have any further information on this.
Some enhancements require a feat.

Unlocking destinies
As explained earlier, each character have a one initial time choice of destiny. After this choice, changing destiny require to unlock new destinies.
Destinies all have a place on the destiny map. Each destiny have at least one adjacent destiny from the same sphere.
Some destinies are also adjacent to destiny in another sphere.

To unlock a destiny, you'll need to level up an adjacent destiny to a sufficient level. This "sufficient level" depend if the adjacent destiny is in the same sphere or not:
[LIST]
[*] Unlocking an adjacent destiny in the same sphere require you to level up your destiny up to level 3
[*] Unlocking an adjacent destiny in another sphere require you to level up your destiny up to level 4
[/LIST]

So for example if you are currently in the exalted angel tree and want to unlock Legendary Dreadnough you'll need:
[LIST]
[*] To level up exalted angel to 3 to unlock Unyielding sentinel (they are in the same sphere)
[*] To level up Unyielding sentinel to 4 to unlock Grandmaster of flowers (they are in different spheres)
[*] To level up Grandmaster of flowers to 3 to unlock legendary dreadnought
[/LIST]

Once a destiny is unlocked, you can switch destiny at the Fatespinner.

Destinies and reincarnation
Destinies are not affected by reincarnation (of any kind).
That means if you are currently a FvS 25 with level 5 exalted angel, and you TR into a fighter, you'll still be a level 5 exalted angel.

You'll keep all you have acquired from destinies when you TR: destiny level, unlocked destinies, twist of fates (and maybe more).

This means if you TR and want to use a destiny that match your new class, you'll need to unlock this new destiny by moving through the map.

Twist of fates
Twists of fate are special slots that can be used to equip destiny enhancements from other trees than the currently active tree.
For example if you are an Exalted angel, you could equip enhancement from fatesinger (or any other unlocked destiny) in the slots.

Each character can have up to 3 twist of fate slots. Characters start with zero slot and can unlock them (explained below).
Each twist of fate slot also have a "level". This level indicates the maximum tier of destiny enhancement that can be placed in it. At slot level 1, you can only put tier 1 or 2 enhancement into the slot. (reminder: enhancement tier depend on the number of AP required to unlock it).
[LIST]
[*] Level 1: Tier 1 or 2
[*] Level 1: Tier 1, 2 or 3
[*] Level 1: Tier 1, 2, 3 or 4
[/LIST]
You can never put tier 5 or 6 enhancement into a slot.

If the enhancement you put into a twist of fate has many level, the level of the enhancement will be the level when you equip it into the twist of fate. Therefore it is advised to always level up an enhancement to the maximum possible before puting it into a twist of fate slot. Note that enhancement level has nothing to do with tier ; and putting a tier 1 level 5 enhancement into a twist of fate doesn't require you to upgrade the slot.

Every time 3 destiny levels are gained, a new Fate point is acquired by the character. Destiny levels are counted globally for all destiny. This means level 1 in a destiny and level 5 in another is 6 levels, or 2 fate points.
Fate points can be used to unlock or upgrade twist of fate slots. Here are the current known prices (subject to change) :
[LIST]
[*] Twist of fate slot 1: Unlock 1 Fate point. First upgrade 2 Fate points. Second upgrade 3 fate points.
[*] Twist of fate slot 2: Unlock 2 Fate point. First upgrade 3 Fate points. Second upgrade 4 fate points.
[*] Twist of fate slot 3: Unlock 3 Fate point. First upgrade 4 Fate points. Second upgrade 5 fate points.
[/LIST]

There are currently 9 destinies, each one with 5 levels, therefore you can gain up to 15 fate points.
With the current prices, unlocking and upgrading everything would cost 27 fate points. Therefore you have to make a choice: more slots, or higher level slots?
An example of what you can do with 15 points is: Slot 1 up to level 3 [6 points], slot 2 up to level 2 [5 points], slot 3 unlocked and level 1 [4 points]. Reminder: costs are subject to change.

If you put an enhancement from your currently active destiny in a twist of fate it will have no effect.

Notes:
- Twist of fates don't require prerequisites: you can put an enhancement with a prerequisite inside the slot without having the prerequisite.
- If you put an enhancement boosting another enhancement (such as fey spring boosting healing spring) but not the "boosted" enhancement, it will have no effect.
- You cannot put autogrants into twist of fate slot
- You can easily swap twist of fates in any public area
- There will be a way to reset spent Fate Points, so you can change how you've upgraded your Twists
- Each twist you select can be picked from different destinies tree. So you could pick one from Legendary dreadnought, one from Fatesinger and one from magister.

Так, оказывается у меня в почте тоже валяется ключ в бетатестирование. Есть еще желающие ?

что-то не впечатляет

Я правильно понимаю что 3 ПЛ друида будут очень и очень круты в собаке? + еще родерик ванд в руку и элитные собаки порвут мамку в раунд?)

Я в шабаку ваще не хожу, но извгащенцы всякие бывают %)

Кстать наверное 3 ПЛ друида хороши для артифишерской собакаки, нет?)

Это смотря как собаку назвать. Вон Зоя говорит что ее Хымпф вполне себе ок.

это с монкчером никак не компилируется?
