A Boon reset isn't automatically the best way to improve your character. If your current path is helping you farm the materials you need, leave it alone for now. That applies whether you're sorting through D4 items or planning another evening of dungeon runs. Trash for Treasure can still be useful when you're working on Greater Temper upgrades, while Merchant of Mystery may be worth keeping if Forgotten Souls are holding up your rerolls. Fix a path that's getting in your way, not one that's simply lost its novelty.

Think About the Time You Have Left

Before spending Marks of Wisdom, ask what the change will do for your next few sessions. A seasonal character close to the end of November may not get much use out of an expensive experiment. An Eternal character has more time to benefit from a tidy setup, so a longer-term adjustment can make more sense. The original plan expects Season 16 around December 1, 2026, but it's worth checking the in-game schedule before making decisions around that date. Either way, don't spend a scarce mark just because you've got one.

Choose the Points That Matter

Open the Boons panel and take a look at Curious Addition, Merchant of Mystery, Scent of Gold, and Trash for Treasure. Write down where your points are, then separate the ones you want to keep from the ones you'd like to remove. A split tree is a good place to start. If you've put early points into both Scent of Gold and Curious Addition, neither path may be doing enough for you. Pick the one that suits your current farming plans and consider pulling points from the other. There's no need to remove every questionable point in one sitting.

Check Your Costs Before You Commit

Count your Marks of Wisdom and set them beside your removal list. If you're short, deal with the point that matters most to your chosen path first. Gold matters too: the supplied plan puts the cancellation fee at 5,000,000 gold per point, so check the amount shown in your game before confirming. Do the work in town, where you can take your time, and read each prompt before you accept it. Once you've removed a point, put any available replacement into the path you've chosen. A screenshot afterward can save you from second-guessing the setup later.

Keep Some Flexibility

You don't need to turn every session into a hunt for more Wisdom. Gather enough for the changes you've decided to make, then get back to gearing. If you want to test a node, try one change and give it a full session before deciding whether it's worth keeping. Players looking to buy cheap D4 items should still check their own priorities before changing a Boon path; gear plans and resource needs can shift from week to week. After any update that changes a tooltip, take another look. Until then, a working tree can stay just as it is.
