Each Level After 50 Earns Us 4 Paragon Points

This Adds Up to 200 Points at Level 100

Each Region Renown Rewards 4 Paragon Points

After reaching 1500Renown In Each Region
With a total of 5 Region at launch, this adds up to 20 Renown Points
Those Renown Rewards are shared Account Wide
So we can expect at least 220 Paragon Points for a Level 100 Maxed Character

Diablo 4 Paragon Tile Types

Each Paragon board has different types of tiles that you will be looking to reach:

Normal: These tiles are the most present and offer simple bonuses, such as statistics.
Magic: Slightly less present than the previous ones, these offer powerful, more varied bonuses.
Rare: These tiles offer powerful bonuses, some accessible at a fixed static threshold.
Legendary: After the starting board, each has a legendary tile in its center, offering legendary power.
Socket: By placing Glyphs into Socket Tiles, you can obtain several advantages that depend on the number of active tiles within their radius.
Gate - Once you reach a Gate Tile, choose a new Paragon Board from the list of Paragon Boards, which can be rotated, to attach it to the existing board.

Diablo 4 Paragon Glyphs (Sockets) & How It Work?

You will have the possibility of placing glyphs in the tiles taking the form of sockets. These are found throughout Sanctuary and provide benefits depending on the active tiles in the area. These Glyphs level up through participation in the most difficult dungeons, which increases the radius of action of the latter.

Diablo IV Paragon Glyph Sockets

Glyphs - Varies in Grade & Level (Their values seem to be Predetermined)

Magic Empower (Level 3) - Radius Size: Small, Grants 30.0% bonus to all nodes within range
Rare Exploit (Level 8): Radius Size: Medium, For every 10 Dexterity purchased within range, you deal 13.5% increased damage to Vulnerable Targets, Grants 40.5% bonus to all nodes within range
Rare Conquer (Level 15): Radius Size: Medium, For every 10 Willpower purchased within range, you deal 31.5% increased damage to Overpower damage, Grants 4 Strength for each Willpower purchased within range.

Diablo 4 Paragon Gate Tiles & How It Work (Selection & Rotations)

A Gate Tile is present on each edge of the Paragon Board. Once you reach this one, you'll have the option to attach a new Paragon board to the existing one, each one unique. Place it however you want and enjoy that extra area of customization.

Diablo 4 Paragon Board Progression & How To Distribute Your Points Efficiently

Now that you should have an understanding of how a Paragon Board works, let's talk roughly about how to choose your Paragon Board Way and how to distribute Paragon Points for the best endgame effects:

Key Milestones for Paragon Boards

At Level 50:

It takes exactly 20 Paragon Points to unlock the next Gate (Provided that we unlock the Glyph Socket, 19 if we don't unlock it)

At Level 54:

Takes 12/13/17 Paragon Points to next Legendary Paragon Tile (Path length varies with certain Legendary Tile)
Takes 11 Paragon Points to the next Glyph Socket
Takes 21/26/28 Paragon Points to reach the next Gate (While unlocking the Legendary Tile)

At Level 70:

Without Renown: At max unlock 3 Glyph Sockets or 2 Legendary Tiles
But with 20 Renown Paragon Points: 4 Glyph Sockets or 3 Legendary Tiles

At Level 100:

Expect to unlock 5-9 Glyph Sockets or 6-9 Legendary Tiles
As we min/max the rare tiles on the way
Also decide to go for more Glyph or Legendary Tiles
Usually its pick Glyph or Legendary Tile, not efficient to path for both

Things To Consider While Selecting & Pathing Paragon Boards

Always remember we have to get to ANOTHER GATE
Pick Boards for Special Legendary Tiles Effects
Pick Boards with shorter pathing for Glyph Socket
The more points invested in Surrounding Tiles, the more Glyph Effect to get
The Range of Glyphs depends on their Rarity
