Tribute points can be spent to create defenses around the arenas, giving the player an advantage against the increasingly difficult waves of enemies. Tributes can be spent to restart the Crucible at various checkpoints (wave 50 or 100), or to increase the odds of survival with the aid of Celestial Blessings and arcane Defenses. Tributes are the currency of the Crucible, granted after every 10 waves.
The quality of the treasure contained within the Treasure Chamber, the experience earned and the Tributes earned depend on the difficulty of the Crucible, how many waves are defeated and whether the player died or chose to cash out, with an additional treasure chest earned for successfully completing the Crucible. However, in (softcore) Multiplayer, it is possible to revive if another party member finishes the wave.
Should the player die, they cannot continue further in the Crucible. Every 10 waves of enemies, the player has the choice of continuing on for the next 10 encounters for a chance of greater reward, or cash out what they’ve earned and not risk their own demise. In the Crucible, death marks the end (particularly for Hardcore players).
