Savage Paragon

Savage Paragon

Keep progressing after level 60. XP you earn past 60 fills a Paragon track - your displayed level stays at 60, and the track's progress is shown right on the Paragon board. Each Paragon level grants 1 point to spend on a six-tree board - one tree per attribute (Strength, Agility, Vitality, Authority, Grit, Expertise). Most nodes are flat stat bonuses costing 1 point; 46 of them are major abilities costing 2. The track caps at Paragon 100 - reaching it takes about as much XP as getting to level 60 did in the first place. Open the board from the Stats screen, and craft a reset potion any time to refund every point and respec freely.

Features

• Post-60 progression with its own Paragon XP bar, capped at Paragon 100.
• A custom six-tree board: roughly 150 minor stat nodes plus 46 unique major abilities.
• One tree per attribute, opened right from the vanilla Stats screen.
• A craftable reset potion (Potion of Paragon Memory, learned alongside Grandmaster Alchemist) for unlimited respecs.
• Server-authoritative and saved per character - your build rebuilds itself every login.
• Pure logic + data mod: no base-game assets are overwritten. Everything runs through a ModController.
• Server admin toolkit: console commands to inspect, wipe, respec or top up any player's Paragon state, and to lock individual trees per player - see the pinned Admin Commands guide.

A note on AI-made content

Honesty first. Some of the art in this mod (the board background, the node glow textures and a few buff icons) began as AI-generated images that were then edited and cleaned up by hand. The Blueprint logic was authored with AI assistance (see Credits), then compiled and human-tested like any other mod. If that is a dealbreaker for you, no hard feelings.
