In Avowed, Paradisan Ladder is a crucial, rare upgrade material. This guide details five methods to acquire it:

1. Purchasing from Merilyn: Merilyn, a merchant located in South Paradise (see map below), sells Paradisan Ladder and items deconstructible into it. Her stock doesn't replenish, so act quickly.

2. Foraging: Paradisan Ladder plants appear in the wild and occasionally in cities. The plant icon on your mini-map (see image below) indicates their presence.

3. Side Quests: Completing side quests, such as "Escape Plan," often rewards players with Paradisan Ladder among other crafting materials.

4. Deconstructing Items: Items upgraded with Paradisan Ladder can be deconstructed at a workbench to recover some of the material. Check merchant inventories for suitable items.

5. Downgrading Hylea's Talon: Once you reach Emerald Stair and obtain Hylea's Talon (a higher-tier material), you can downgrade it into Paradisan Ladder at your party camp workbench. Each Hylea's Talon yields three units.

Mastering these methods ensures a steady supply of Paradisan Ladder for upgrading your gear in Avowed.
