Paths of Adventure is a collection of in-game challenges introduced in June 2023 as part of Version 58, continuing the 2020 Path of Valor with the new parallel Path of Giants. The paths give out Daily Challenges and separate, longer-term ones in a 4-week cycle. Their completion is rewarded with Points; after a given number, a Milestone is reached and the player receives a reward: players who purchased the respective premium Pass receive extra rewards at every milestone while free-to-play receive only lesser rewards at every second milestone.
In December 2024 the Path of Dragons was introduced as part of Version 72.
Path of Valor[]
Path of Valor[1] was introduced in February 2020 (Version 26). There are three Daily Challenges and longer-term Valor Challenges and rewards from Milestones, achieved through the accumulation of Valor Points. Since June 6, 2022 (Version 48.1), Path of Valor has been condensed into 4 weeks (incorrectly announced as "30 days") with 30 milestones, running consecutively starting on Mondays – in 2023, week 3, 7 etc., i. e. from 13 Feb, 13 Mar, … (Earlier it used to run 50 days, with a waiting period after it ended.)
Valor Points and Milestones[]
Valor Points are accumulated by completing Daily Challenges or a Valor Challenge Tier; during some Challenge Events etc. there are also extra Event Challenges. Each Path of Valor rewards the player for reaching certain Milestones. There is a total of 30 Milestones, the last needing a total of 24.475 points. It is possible to accumulate even more points (see calculations below), after which an extra Valor Chest is given for each 1000 VP (contains random "valuable loot", though players' opinion varies).
The free Path gives a reward for every other Milestone, while the paid-for premium Valor Pass serves an additional reward every Milestone. The rewards have to be collected separately, any time after they are reached. (After the end a Path's term, all uncollected rewards are given to the player. This may be used to temporarily "bank" rewards, i. e. Trainer Heroes of an undesired element that would otherwise take up storage space.)
By clicking on any not yet achieved Milestone one can see how many points are missing.
Important Milestones for free Path of Valor are No 18 giving Gems, No 6 and 26 Emblems, No 20 and 28 unfarmable Ascension Materials.
Daily Challenges[]
Daily Challenges are tasks that change every 24 hours (at 8:00 UTC): complete map or quest stages, gather materials, produce items, defeat enemies, and so on. Every Daily Challenge is worth 150 Valor Points upon completion. Three Daily Challenges are chosen randomly per day. The following list shows most of the Daily Challenges:

Valor Challenges[]
Valor Challenges are six tasks constant throughout the whole 4 weeks, but gradually increasing in requirements after each Tier is completed (individual tiers are numbered in Roman numerals much like Missions). Every fully completed Valor Challenge rewards 2500 Points; these are distributed between its Tiers (there are 4 to 10, most often 5) in a faster-than-linear progression (favouring the final Tiers, even in a "per capita" comparison). This constitutes a significant share of Valor Points gained (3 Dailies times 150 points times 28 days is just 12,600, out of 24,475 to the last Milestone), so the Valor Challenges are a faster method of reaching milestones, and skipping some kind altogether makes it very hard to reach the end of the Path (the reserve is just 3,125).
Six Valor Challenges in each Path of Valor are selected from 11(?) possible; they change a bit from one Path to another although completing Daily Challenges below is always included and others (like Attack in War or Summon) are present in more than half cases.
Challenge(s) | Valor Points | Cumulative Dailies |
---|---|---|
Complete 1 Daily Challenge | 20 | |
Complete 2 Daily Challenges | 30 | 3 |
Complete 3 Daily Challenges | 50 | 6 |
Complete 4 Daily Challenges | 75 | 10 |
Complete 5 Daily Challenges | 115 | 15 |
Complete 6 Daily Challenges | 190 | 21 |
Complete 7 Daily Challenges | 275 | 28 |
Complete 10 Daily Challenges | 375 | 38 |
Complete 15 Daily Challenges | 550 | 53 |
Complete 20 Daily Challenges | 820 | 73 |
So filling this Valor Challenge within 28 days allows skipping 11 Dailies, or just less than 4 full days.
Below are four other frequent Valor Challenges, updated to 2022 (names shortened to fit the screen).

Path of Giants[]
The Path of Giants has six Daily Challenges worth only 100 points (mostly dealing with Raids; there are also almost regular "Defeat 10 monsters of X element in Season Y" and "Win Map Stages in Season X - Province Y [rather far along, so rewarding the more experienced players only for progressing with the story] without using Loot Tickets") and three Weekly ones worth 1250.
After 2 runs, the Path of Giants was tweaked from August 2023: Daily Missions reward was increased to 100 points (originally 90) and "certain missions … just a bit too difficult or frustrating to clear … either toned down or removed entirely" (for example, the "Defeat 10 monsters of X element in Season Y" was originally 15, i. e. achievable in a single battle for some combinations but requiring two or even three in others).
Milestones[]
Completion of Path of Giants Challenges give Giants Points. After accumulating a set amount, a Milestone is reached, giving a reward of Gems, Flasks, Bundles, Trainer Heroes, and Aethers.
