Prestige System
Prestige System
You maxed the account. Now what? Prestige is Ethereal's long-term reset loop: wipe your skills back to scratch, climb the ladder again, and spend prestige points on account-wide Prestige Relics that stick with you forever.
This is separate from Pet Perks (your companion) and Player Perks (attuned charms). Prestige Relics live on your character through Ak-Haranu.
Where to start
Talk to Ak-Haranu in the Enclave (around 3144, 3633). His menu has three doors:
| Option | What it opens |
|---|---|
| Prestige Manager | Reset skills when you qualify |
| Prestige Relics | Buy account relics (prestige 1+ required) |
| Prestige Shop | Spend prestige points on certificates |
Good to know: Relics are account unlocks, not inventory items. Once bought, they stay on your character save. Damage bonuses from prestige relics do not apply in the Wilderness or the WG instanced zone.
How prestiging works
- Hit level 99 in every trainable skill except Fortune and Demon Hunter.
- Remove all equipment. Ak-Haranu will stop you if you are still geared.
- Open Prestige Manager and confirm twice (misclicks happen).
- All skills reset to 1 (Hitpoints returns to 10).
- You gain +2,000 prestige points and +1 overall prestige level.
- Repeat until prestige 10, the current cap.
Your prestige level also sets your relic tier (see below). Track the grind on the Prestige Points highscore.
What you keep
| Keeps | Resets |
|---|---|
| Prestige level and prestige points | Skill levels and XP |
| Unlocked Prestige Relics | Combat level (recalculated) |
| Bank, gear, quests, pets | Current worn equipment requirement |
Fortune and Demon Hunter never block a prestige. Everything else at 99 does.
Prestige points and the shop
Every prestige grants 2,000 prestige points. You also earn points from other sources:
| Source | Reward |
|---|---|
| Each prestige | +2,000 prestige points |
1k Prestige Pointsscroll | +1,000 prestige points (consume from inventory) | | Achievement milestones | Scrolls and other rewards (varies) |
Prestige Shop
Ak-Haranu opens shop 120. Current stock:
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
250,000 Nomad Point Certificate| 500 prestige points |
Certificates dissolve at the Nomad foundry for 250,000 MadPoints (Nomad). Plan ahead if you are saving points for relics instead.
Prestige Relics overview
Relics are bought from Prestige Relics after your first prestige. Each purchase costs prestige points + MadPoints (foundry currency).
Two rules govern the tree:
- Tier gate: Your overall prestige level sets the highest relic tier you can access.
- Linear unlock: Within a tier, you must own every relic from the previous tier before buying the next one.
Prestige level to relic tier
| Overall prestige | Relic tier unlocked |
|---|---|
| 1–2 | Tier 1 |
| 3–4 | Tier 2 |
| 5–6 | Tier 3 |
| 7–8 | Tier 4 |
| 9 | Tier 5 |
| 10 | Tier 6 |
Tier 6 is the endgame row. Budget your MadPoints accordingly.
Relic tier breakdown
Values below match live server logic. Chance perks are fortune, not guarantees.
Tier 1 (prestige 1+)
Buy in any order within the tier once tier 1 is available.
| Relic | Effect | Prestige pts | MadPoints |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage Bonus I | +3% damage (PvM, not Wilderness/WG zone) | 750 | 22,500,000 |
| Experience Bonus I | +15% XP from all sources | 750 | 22,500,000 |
| Double PC Points | 10% chance to double loot from PC-style reward chests | 500 | 15,000,000 |
Tier 2 (prestige 3+, requires all Tier 1)
| Relic | Effect | Prestige pts | MadPoints |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloody Minigame | Double Bloody Minigame points on wave clear | 250 | 7,500,000 |
| Cannon Extender | +150 cannonball capacity (+200 on 1x and 5x XP modes) | 250 | 7,500,000 |
| Triple Hespori Keys | 10% chance for triple Hespori-style keys (Isle of the Damned, woodcutting keys, etc.) | 750 | 22,500,000 |
Tier 3 (prestige 5+, requires all Tier 2)
| Relic | Effect | Prestige pts | MadPoints |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage Bonus II | +3% damage (stacks with Tier 1) | 1,000 | 30,000,000 |
| Experience Bonus II | +15% XP (multiplies with Tier 1) | 1,000 | 30,000,000 |
| Restore Full Prayer | 10% chance on hit to restore prayer to full (disabled in Wilderness, duels, and Outlast) | 250 | 7,500,000 |
Tier 4 (prestige 7+, requires all Tier 3)
| Relic | Effect | Prestige pts | MadPoints |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attune Perks | +10% chance to save materials or Nomad when using the upgrade interface | 1,000 | 30,000,000 |
| Zerk / Range / Mage | +10% damage with melee, ranged, or magic (one relic, all styles) | 1,000 | 30,000,000 |
| Heal to Max | 10% chance on hit to heal to maximum HP (same zone restrictions as prayer restore) | 250 | 7,500,000 |
Pairs well with Player Perks combat charms, but they are separate systems.
Tier 5 (prestige 9+, requires all Tier 4)
| Relic | Effect | Prestige pts | MadPoints |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage Bonus III | +3% damage | 1,250 | 37,500,000 |
| Experience Bonus III | +15% XP | 1,250 | 37,500,000 |
| Nomad Plus 15 | +15% MadPoints when melting items at the foundry (excludes several certificate items) | 2,500 | 75,000,000 |
Tier 6 (prestige 10, requires all Tier 5)
| Relic | Effect | Prestige pts | MadPoints |
|---|---|---|---|
| Experience & Damage Combo | +50% XP and +6% damage (standard mode) or +12% damage (1x / 5x modes) | 5,000 | 150,000,000 |
| Rage | Grants |
Rage Potion(drink for Rage mode; blocked in Wilderness and duels) | 5,000 | 150,000,000 | | Ultra Mystery Boxes | One-time: 10x
Ultra Mystery Boxadded to inventory | 2,500 | 75,000,000 |
The mystery box relic is a single purchase. Rage and the combo relic are permanent account flags like the rest.
Stacking cheat sheet
Planning your tenth prestige? Here is how the combat and XP pieces add up outside Wilderness:
| Bonus type | Stacked total (all damage relics + combo) |
|---|---|
| Damage (standard XP mode) | Up to +15% from the three damage tiers, plus +6% from the Tier 6 combo, plus +10% if you own Zerk/Range/Mage |
| Damage (1x / 5x XP mode) | Same tier bonuses, but Tier 6 combo adds +12% instead of +6% |
| XP | Each Experience Bonus tier multiplies by 1.15; Tier 6 combo multiplies by 1.5 on top |
XP multipliers stack multiplicatively, not as flat percentages. The grind gets faster in a hurry.
Relic item tokens
Some rewards and donor paths use inventory relic items with an Attune option. These are not the same UI as Prestige Relics, but players often call both "relics."
Named relic items in the cache:
| Item | Item description |
|---|---|
Faster Melee| Attack speed of all melee weapons is halved | |
Faster Range| Attack speed of all ranged weapons is halved | |
Faster Magic| Attack speed of all magic weapons is halved | |
3x XP Bonus| Triple XP while earning XP | |
Simplified Farming| 1-tick farming, 25x resources, banked | |
Maximum Damage| 10% chance to hit max damage, plus 5% more damage | |
Meteor| Chance for a meteor strike for bonus damage | |
AOE Relic| Small AOE effect on weapons (confirmed in combat; inactive in Wilderness) |
Several other item IDs share the generic name "Relic" with placeholder text. Treat those as unreleased or admin-only unless staff says otherwise.
Practical tips
- Bank your gear before talking to Ak-Haranu. The prestige check is strict.
- MadPoints hurt. Tier 6 alone can cost 150M+ MadPoints per relic. Farm foundry melts before you commit.
- Damage relics stay home. Bring a Wilderness-friendly build without relying on prestige damage bonuses.
- Double PC Points is a gamble (10% proc). Still strong over hundreds of chest opens.
- Cannon Extender stacks with the Player Perks Cannon Extender charm if you run both.
- Pet Prestige (
Pet Prestige) is unrelated. That item resets pet level only. See Pet Perks.
