The recently free-to-play Dark and Darker has brought an influx of new players eager to explore its treacherous dungeons. While all new players start with the Squire status, those who previously purchased the Standard or Founders editions are automatically upgraded to Legendary Status, granting them several advantages. If you're wondering whether Legendary Status is worth it, here's everything you need to know.

What is Legendary Status?

Legendary Status is a premium upgrade that enhances your gameplay with several exclusive benefits. If you weren't automatically upgraded, you can purchase it for 15 Redstone Shards (equivalent to $30 in the in-game store). This status provides players with better progression, increased character versatility, and access to exclusive game features.

Perks of Legendary Status

More Character Slots

By default, players only have one character slot, meaning if you want to switch classes, you must delete your existing character. This can be frustrating, as Dark and Darker features eight unique classes with distinct playstyles. With Legendary Status, you unlock multiple character slots, allowing you to experiment with different classes without losing progress.

Access to High-Roller Dungeons

High-Roller dungeons offer a greater challenge with stronger enemies, fewer escape portals, and no enemy death notifications to track opponents. However, the difficulty comes with a major reward boost, as these dungeons provide higher drop rates for powerful gear and serve as the only place to obtain unique-level loot from bosses.

Marketplace Trading

One of the biggest advantages of Legendary Status is the ability to trade with other players. The in-game marketplace lets you buy and sell valuable items, giving you a better chance at acquiring top-tier gear and more Dark and Darker gold. Without this feature, you must rely solely on loot from dungeon runs.

Shared Stash

A shared stash lets all your characters access the same inventory, allowing you to transfer loot between them. This is a massive advantage, as you won't have to repeatedly farm certain items for each character.

Is Legendary Status Worth It?

If you're serious about Dark and Darker and want to maximize your gameplay experience, Legendary Status is a significant upgrade. The additional character slots alone make it worthwhile for those who enjoy experimenting with different classes, while High-Roller dungeons provide exclusive loot opportunities. Trading and a shared stash also make progression smoother and more rewarding.

For casual players, the standard experience is still enjoyable, but if you're aiming to excel in the game's competitive environment, Legendary Status is a game-changer.
