Path of Glory

Path of Glory is the ranked ladder of Mistfall Hunter. Every match you play with it turned on earns or costs Path of Glory Points (also called Rank Points), and your total decides your tier, from Duskborn up to Zenith. Each new tier group gives a season reward, and the top players appear on the Ladder leaderboard. This page lists the rules, the tiers and the point values from the Season 2 game files, plus the separate point system used in tournaments.

In this age of fallen gods, fate is no longer dictated by the divine. Gyldhunters ascend step by step through endless combat; each rank attained stands as a testament to your strength.

Turning it on

Path of Glory unlocks when your character reaches level 6.
Tick Enable Path of Glory on the Stage Selection screen before you queue.
It does not change matchmaking: you find the same teammates and opponents whether it is on or off.
Each player in a squad chooses for themselves. One teammate can play ranked while the others do not.
Next to your tier name on the main screen there is a button that shows which actions give points at your current tier.

Tiers

There are 7 ranks split into 21 tiers. Your tier depends only on your point total.

Points in Normal mode: the Normal modes of every map only count for players below 4,800 points. From Fateweaver I up, a match on Normal neither gives nor takes points, and the game shows Path of Glory Progression Disabled. Play Chaos or Cataclysm to keep climbing.
Next season you start at: your score is partly reset when a new season begins. The last column is where you start the next season, based on the tier you finished in. For example, a Zenith player starts the next season at 6,600 points (Oracle I).

Earning points

Points are added up when the match ends (at settlement), based on what you did in the match. The actions that count, and how much they give, change with your rank: higher ranks get fewer point sources and lose more for dying. Shared actions count for every member of the squad.

The actions

Action	What counts
Hasty Extraction	Extracting in the first 10 minutes of the match
Standard Extraction	Extracting between 10 and 18 minutes into the match
Fight to the Last	Extracting after 18 minutes
Defeat Mist Lord (Shared)	Killing a Mist Lord: General Harald, the Flesheater or Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane
Defeat Underlord (Shared)	Killing an Underlord, the lesser bosses (see Underlord Challenge and Bosses)
Defeat Elite (Shared)	Killing an elite monster (see Bestiary)
Defeat Gyldhunter (Shared)	Killing an enemy player
Complete In-Match Task (Shared)	Finishing a task inside the match
Open a Container for the First Time (Shared)	Being the first to open a chest or other container
Extract Assets	The value of the loot you extract with
Extraction Failed	Dying or not getting out in time. This is the only way to lose points

Points by rank

Each cell shows the points per action and, in brackets, the most that action can give in one match. Trio is the value in a squad; Solo is the value when you play alone, where it differs. A dash means the action gives nothing at that rank.

Action	Duskborn Mistwalker	Dawnseeker Fateweaver	Oracle Exalted	Zenith
Hasty Extraction	—	—	—	—
Standard Extraction	+5	+5	—	—
Fight to the Last	+10	+10	+5	+5

Extract Assets	+1 per 500 value (10)	+1 per 500 value (10)	+1 per 500 value (5)	+1 per 500 value (5)
Extraction Failed	−5	−20	−30	−120
Most points in one match	90	90	90	90

A match can never give more than 90 points, however many actions you complete.
Each Mist Lord, Underlord, Elite, task and extraction bonus counts once per match.
Killing players is the biggest source of points at every rank, and it is worth more than twice as much when you play Solo.
At Zenith a failed extraction costs 120 points, more than the best possible match gives.

Rules

You only lose points when an extraction fails. Extracting with nothing still never costs points.
Demotion protection: when a loss would drop you out of your current tier, the game stops it at the bottom of that tier (Tier demotion protection triggered).
Some events double the points: during Path of Glory: Double Points, every point earned at settlement counts twice. The main screen shows any active bonus as Current point bonus.

Season rewards

Reaching each new rank for the first time in a season unlocks a reward. To claim it you must reach the rank and also play a number of matches, which the reward screen shows. The rewards change every season.

Leaderboards

Ladder ranks every player by Path of Glory Points and shows the top 100. Your main class and main character name are the ones you have played the most. Once you reach Zenith, your total score is shown next to your name.
The Hunt Rankings are separate boards: kills of enemy players (only the final blow counts), wealth extracted from matches (items you or your teammates brought in do not count) and Mist Lords killed (kills in Einherjar mode rank first, then normal kills).
Your player profile records your highest Path of Glory tier, along with your escape rate, K/D ratio, Gyldhunters and Underlords defeated, average earnings per match and total matches.

Tournament points

Tournaments are organised matches played in custom rooms, not in normal matchmaking. Instead of Path of Glory Points they use their own tournament points, counted for each player and shown live to the observers. The game files call these rooms Migu Tournaments. The tournament room is Wildfire Hallowgrove Tournament: Wildfire Hallowgrove on Normal, Solo, with 8 players and up to 6 observers, and no normal match rewards.

Action	Tournament points
Kill an enemy Gyldhunter	2 per kill
Extract with Gyldenblod value	1 per 2,000 value
Open a Scorched Silver Chest or a Scorched Gilded Chest	2 per chest
Defeat a Mist Lord (Flesheater, General Harald or Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane)	3
Defeat Lars the "Heretic"	2
