Path of Glory unlocks at character Level 6 in Mistfall Hunter, and it works as an optional ranked scoring layer you toggle on before a run to earn Rank Points without entering a separate matchmaking queue.
The system is easy to miss because it sits on top of the normal extraction flow instead of asking you to enter a new mode. Once you understand that, the climb is simple: opt in, make the run count, and extract with enough value to move your rank.

Path of Glory is Mistfall Hunter’s ranked ladder
Path of Glory is the ranked progression ladder in Mistfall Hunter. It is separate from the free Battle Pass, separate from normal character leveling, and built around the same PvPvE extraction runs you already play.
When it is active, your match settlement converts the run into Rank Points. Those points move you through the ranked tiers, so the system rewards consistent survival, objective progress, valuable loot, and strong combat results rather than one isolated stat.
How to enable Path of Glory in Mistfall Hunter
Reach Level 6
Level a character to Level 6; below that point, Path of Glory is not available.
Prepare a run
Start your next deployment from Windrest or the stage-selection flow.
Enable Path of Glory
Turn on the Path of Glory toggle or checkbox before deploying; its exact placement can shift between the Season/Path of Glory menus and the pre-match stage screen.
Deploy and settle the match
Finish the run, then check your Rank Points on the post-mission results screen.
What Path of Glory changes in a match
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| When does it unlock? | Character Level 6. |
| Is it automatic? | No. You opt in before the deployment. |
| Does it create a ranked queue? | No. It uses the same matchmaking pool as normal runs. |
| What does it track? | Rank Points and tier progress for that enabled run. |
| What is the main risk? | A failed extraction costs Rank Points. |
Path of Glory changes the scoring layer, not the core match structure. You are still preparing an extraction run, fighting through the same kind of PvPvE pressure, and trying to leave alive with what you earned.
Key That makes the toggle important. If you run without it, the same extraction can still be useful for loot, practice, and other progression, but it will not function as a ranked attempt.
How Rank Points are earned and lost
| Action | Rank Point effect |
|---|---|
| Successful extraction | Awards points and locks in the value of the run. |
| Defeating monsters | Adds points for combat progress, with tougher enemies mattering more. |
| Completing tasks | Adds points for objective progress at settlement. |
| Acquiring assets | Adds points for valuable loot secured during the run. |
| Defeating bosses and high-value enemies | Can add larger gains, especially for targets such as Underlord, Mist Lord, and enemy Gyldhunters. |
| Failed extraction | Costs Rank Points. |
Rank Points are awarded at settlement for what you achieved during a Path of Glory-enabled run. The most reliable plan is to extract successfully while stacking value from objectives, enemies, assets, and high-value fights.
Early point tables place the per-match ceiling at about 90 Rank Points. Exact values can shift with patches, so use the categories below to plan the run and let the settlement screen be the final count.
Turn Path of Glory on before every serious ranked run, then prioritize extracting once your objectives, assets, and combat gains are already near the match ceiling.
Path of Glory rank tiers from Duskborn to Zenith
| Order | Tier |
|---|---|
| 1 | Duskborn |
| 2 | Mistwalker |
| 3 | Dawnseeker |
| 4 | Fateweaver |
| 5 | Oracle |
| 6 | Exalted |
| 7 | Zenith |
Zenith is the top end of Path of Glory. At that level, exact Rank Point totals appear on the server-wide leaderboard, so the climb becomes a direct comparison against the server’s highest-ranked Gyldhunters.
Rewards and the Normal difficulty cutoff
Path of Glory gives milestone rewards as you rank up. Reaching a tier is not the whole check; rewards can require completing matches in that tier before they unlock.
The early rewards are useful even if you only touch ranked casually, because they can include loadout rewards. Higher tiers lean more into cosmetic rewards, which makes the ladder a longer-term seasonal chase rather than a one-time unlock.
The point players often miss is the Normal difficulty wall. Around Fateweaver I, Normal difficulty stops or restricts Rank Point gains, so a stalled climb at that point usually means you need to move into tougher difficulty instead of repeating low-risk runs.
Mistakes that slow Path of Glory progress
The first mistake is reaching Level 6 and assuming ranked progress is now automatic. Path of Glory has to be enabled for the deployment, so make the toggle part of your pre-run check before you commit gear or time to a serious climb attempt.
The second mistake is treating it like a different queue. Since Path of Glory does not change matchmaking by itself, turning it off will not make the lobby fundamentally different; it only means your own run stops feeding the ranked ladder.
Once you are higher up the ladder, avoid farming Normal after your progress stalls, and avoid stretching a strong run far past the point cap just for extra ranked value. If the run is already rich, extracting cleanly is often the better ranked decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does enabling Path of Glory change who you match against?
No. Enabling Path of Glory does not move you into a separate ranked matchmaking pool; it changes how your enabled run is scored after the match.
Can players in the same squad enable Path of Glory separately?
Yes. Each squad member can choose their own Path of Glory setting before the match, so one player can be climbing while another stays unranked for that deployment.
Why am I not earning Rank Points on Normal difficulty?
If you are around Fateweaver I or higher, Normal difficulty can stop paying meaningful Rank Points. Move to a higher difficulty and check the settlement screen after the run.
