Players can upgrade to Legendary Status in Dark and Darker for 15 Redstone Shards. One such "premium currency" is equal to $2, amounting to $30 USD for the upgrade. Here are the benefits awarded to Legendary Status account holders in the game:

• More Character Slots: By default, Dark and Darker only have one slot for creating and saving their character. This upgrade will allow players to create separate character slots for different classes.
• Access to High-Roller Dungeons: These are high-end dungeons featuring extremely tough "nightmare-level" enemies for players to contend with as well as fewer escape portals. To compensate, it is the best way to get unique, high-level loot.
• Ability to become a Trader: Legendary Status in Dark & Darker also grants access to the Trading Post where players can buy and sell goods on the marketplace.
• Shared Stash: This allows players to swap loot obtained from dungeons between all their characters.

The final question stands: is this upgrade worth it? Simply put, if players intend to pour dozens upon dozens of hours into the game alongside their friends especially, the answer is yes. Having different characters and loadouts will be handy across the board as well as access to get rarer loot easier (though still encapsulated with a sheen of challenge).

However, if newcomers only want to check out Dark and Darker as casual players, spending $30 for the Legendary Status upgrade doesn't make much sense. The base game provides an adequate experience for most users, and if they truly enjoy the experience, getting the upgrade is the next logical step.

Dark and Darker is currently available via early access on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store platforms.
