How to Reroll Abyss Races: Step-by-Step Guide

Rerolling Abyss races means spending reroll tokens at the Abyss Attendant — the NPC on the hub’s lower ring, right beside the rift gate — to swap your character’s current Abyss race for a new random draw from the tier pool. A quick reroll costs 1 token, a trait-only reroll costs 2, an Uncommon-or-better reroll costs 3, and the Epic-or-better reroll costs 10 tokens and is the only path that can hand you a Legendary race. If a Legendary is what you’re after, bank to 10 tokens per attempt instead of burning singles: the 10-token path works out to roughly 50 tokens per Legendary versus 100 for quick rerolls.

What a Reroll Actually Changes

An Abyss race is a permanent stat-and-trait package applied to your character: it sets your base resistances, your passive trait line, and one active signature skill. Rerolling replaces the whole package, not just the trait. That distinction matters because the Attendant offers two separate services — a full race reroll, which throws away the race you have, and a trait-only reroll, which keeps the race and re-rolls just the passive line attached to it.

The game’s reroll screen carries an in-game rate disclosure panel listing the current tier weights. Those weights, plus the token prices below, are the numbers worth checking after every patch, because balance updates have shifted both before.

Where to Find the Abyss Reroll NPC

The NPC is the Abyss Attendant, and it does not appear on a fresh character. Per the game’s official patch notes, the Attendant unlocks account-wide once you clear your first Rift, which happens partway through the second act.

• Step 1 — Clear your first Rift. Reason: the Attendant’s stall is gated behind that clear, so it simply won’t render in the hub before then.
• Step 2 — Walk to the hub’s lower ring. The Attendant stands beside the rift gate, roughly ten steps left of the portal frame. Reason: the upper ring hosts the crafting vendors, and players routinely check the wrong ring first.
• Step 3 — Look for the map pin labeled “Abyss Attendant.” Reason: the pin only appears after the unlock, which confirms you’re eligible before you walk over.
• Step 4 — Open the Reroll tab and read your current race’s tags. Reason: the tab shows what you’d be giving up, including the tier and the trait line, so you can compare before spending.
• Step 5 — Check your token count against the pity counter before choosing a path. Reason: the counter only advances on quick rerolls, so switching paths mid-way can strand your progress (see the mistakes section below).
• Step 6 — Lock the race before touching traits. Reason: locking preserves the race if you later want to re-roll only the trait line; unlocking costs 2 tokens, so locking first is free insurance.

Reroll Token Costs and Where Tokens Come From

Tokens are the only currency the Attendant accepts, and they don’t drop from combat. They come from a fixed set of resets, which is why the choice of reroll path matters more than the choice of when to click.

A free-to-play player who clears dailies and the weekly rift lands around 12 tokens per week (7 + 3 + 2), plus duplicates. That’s the budget every decision below is measured against.

Odds for Every Abyss Race Tier

Quick rerolls draw from the full pool. The weights below are the ones listed on the reroll screen’s rate disclosure; they sum to 1,000, so the weight divided by 1,000 gives the per-pull chance.

Half of all quick rerolls return a Common race. Ten quick rerolls — 10 tokens — still leave you with only about a one-in-three chance of ever seeing an Epic, and under a one-in-ten chance of seeing a Legendary.

What Each Reroll Path Really Costs

Converting the odds into tokens per useful result is where the paths separate. Epic-or-better means any Epic or Legendary result; the Uncommon-or-better path caps at Epic and cannot roll Legendary.

The 3-token option is the trap of the three. It costs 25 tokens per Epic — worse than singles — and it can never produce a Legendary, so anyone hunting the top tier is paying more for a hard ceiling. The 10-token path is twice as efficient as singles on both Epic and Legendary results.

Worked example. Say the Legendary pool contains six distinct races and you want one specific race. Each Epic-or-better pull gives a 20% Legendary roll, and then a 1-in-6 chance of the exact race — about 3.3% per pull, or roughly 30 pulls on average. At 10 tokens each, that’s 300 tokens, or about 25 weeks of free-to-play income. If you’d accept any Legendary, the number drops to roughly 50 tokens — about four weeks of saving. Decide which of those two you’re actually chasing before you spend a single token.

Which Path Fits Your Situation

Mistakes That Waste Tokens

• Using the 3-token path to chase Legendary races. It’s mathematically impossible there, and it’s the most expensive route to an Epic.
• Ignoring the pity counter. The counter only advances on quick rerolls and resets whenever a Legendary appears from any source. Spend 50 quick rerolls and then switch to the 10-token path, and that progress freezes. Pick your path early and stay on it.
• Rerolling before the second trait slot unlocks. The trait roll has nowhere to land, so you burn tokens for a race with a dead trait line.
• Unlocking a locked race on impulse. Unlocking costs 2 tokens; there’s no free toggle back.
• Rerolling a duplicate you already own. Duplicates convert automatically — you can’t roll into a race you have equipped elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many reroll tokens does one Abyss race reroll cost?

A quick reroll costs 1 token, a trait-only reroll costs 2, an Uncommon-or-better reroll costs 3, and an Epic-or-better reroll costs 10. The 10-token option is the only one that can produce a Legendary race, and it’s the most efficient per Epic as well. Budget around 12 tokens per week from dailies, the weekly rift, and the vendor trade.

Where exactly is the Abyss reroll NPC?

The Abyss Attendant stands on the lower ring of the hub, beside the rift gate, and it unlocks account-wide after your first Rift clear. Its map pin only appears once that unlock triggers, which is the quickest way to confirm you’re eligible. If you don’t see the pin, you haven’t cleared a Rift yet.

Can I reroll into a race I already own?

No. Duplicate races convert automatically into 1 reroll token each, so the pool excludes anything already in your collection. That conversion is free and worth doing before any reroll session, since it can fund an extra quick reroll or two.

Does the pity counter carry over between reroll options?

No — the counter only advances on quick rerolls, and it resets whenever a Legendary appears from any source. Switching to the Epic-or-better path mid-way freezes your accumulated progress rather than adding to it. Decide which path you’re committing to before you spend anything.

Is rerolling Abyss races worth it for free-to-play players?

For a mid-tier upgrade, yes: roughly 12 tokens a week buys one guaranteed Epic-or-better result weekly, which is a meaningful stat jump. For a specific Legendary, the expected cost is around 300 tokens, or about 25 weeks of saving, so most free-to-play players are better off accepting any Legendary and settling for a good Epic in the meantime.

Can I undo a reroll if I don’t like the result?

No, the swap is final — there’s no rollback. What you can do is lock the race before touching the trait line, which preserves the race if you later decide to re-roll only the passive. Unlocking costs 2 tokens, so lock deliberately rather than reflexively.
