Quick answer
  • Paragon experience has received an official fix, but later players still reported levels or points rolling back. A patch note alone does not prove every rollback case is resolved.
  • Check your installed version and record the exact before-and-after level, EXP and trigger. Do not repeatedly reset points to try to force progress.

What is documented about Paragon EXP?

The September 30 version 1.0.0h notes fixed incorrectly low experience at some Paragon levels. That correction matters when comparing older leveling reports with your current progress. It does not specify every level’s EXP requirement or how to allocate your points.

If your Paragon level appears to go backward

One October 2 player described falling from Paragon 3 to 1 after logging back in. Other posts describe changes when entering a map or allocating points. These are reports of symptoms, not a verified penalty system that deliberately removes levels.

Record the starting state

Save the visible Paragon level, EXP bar and unspent or allocated points before changing areas.

Note the trigger

Distinguish a map transition, reconnect, restart, death and point allocation. The reports describe different events.

Confirm the installed version

Allow Steam to finish any available update, then check again without repeatedly resetting or reallocating.

Report a reproducible sequence

Include the version, character mode, screenshots and the shortest sequence that reproduces the change. Keep existing saves intact.

An October 4 reply recommends updating, but the original poster returned the next day saying the game was already current. Treat an update as an initial check, not a promised one-click fix.

Choosing an EXP farm while the display is stable

A separate player post recommends Ashen Crown for Paragon EXP, but it supplies no controlled route comparison. It is a candidate to compare if available to you, not an established fastest farm for every class and patch.

If the display is stable, use a repeatable route as your EXP baseline. Compare gains across equal time windows with the same build and consumables, and keep rollback sessions separate from ordinary efficiency measurements. Otherwise a display or persistence problem can masquerade as a poor farming route.

Check the current options before committing points

The current Paragon cap, complete node map and point-reset costs remain unconfirmed. Check your available nodes and any reset confirmation before committing to an allocation. Do not assume an older build’s point order still matches your character’s options.
