With the Legacy of Phrecia event coming to an end on April 23rd PDT, and 3.26 still slated for a June release, we’re creating free Private League templates to help fill the gap! Today’s news post goes into more detail about what to expect!

Next week we’ll add 15 Private League templates for PC that you'll be able to create for free with up to 20,000 players in each event. We are planning to have these templates available for a month, approximately until the end of May.

A private league template means you will not be able to add your own modifiers like you would normally be able to.

We’ve tried to ensure there is an event for every type of player! All of these events are based on Settlers league. For players who just want to try things out with nothing too complicated or dangerous we have:

• Just Settlers - Pretty self explanatory, it's just Settlers league.
  
• Idols - Atlas Passive Tree has been replaced with the Idol system from Legacy of Phrecia.
  
• Alternate Ascendancies - All Ascendancies have been replaced with Alternate Ascendancies from the Legacy of Phrecia event.
  
• Necro Settlers - Monsters in every area are affected by a pool of mods which you will be able to manipulate upon entering that area, these will rotate every hour!
  
• Shifting Stones - In each area you will encounter a league mechanic that has been enhanced by a corresponding Atlas Keystone! These will change every 15 minutes.

For the thrillseekers out there, warning: Danger! We’ve taken each of the events above and turned the difficulty dial right up by including Gauntlet Boss Enhancements and some dangerous modifiers from the Gauntlet. These Gauntlet mods are from the most recent Gauntlet event, however we've toned down some of the modifiers for the Uber Bosses (Area Level 85+) so they're a bit more reasonable but still challenging:

• From 50% Less Damage Taken to 25%
  
• From 100% Increased Damage to 50%
  
• From 40% Increased Attack, Cast and Movement Speed to 20%

We’ve also created some new events for those who want to use new mechanics with some old ones!

• Affliction - Free wisps trapped in the Wildwood, doing so will empower monsters and improve their rewards!
  
• Idols + Kalandra - Reflect upon your Idols; Influence the Lake of Kalandra in every zone and replace Path of Exile's Atlas Passive Tree with the Idols system!
  
• Alternate Ascendancies + Sentinels - Explore alternative Ascendancy Classes while harnessing ancient Sentinels to control the risk and reward of combat.
  
• Necro Settlers + Beyond - Noticing your use of the Lantern of Arimor, Beyond demons have begun invading!
  
• Shifting Stones + Atlas Invasion - On top of each area having enhanced league mechanics, each area will also be invaded by Atlas Bosses.

We’ll have another post next week that will include any extra information you might need, such as when these events will begin! Thanks to everyone who played Legacy of Phrecia!

As the week wraps up, we've pulled together a list of changes we're targeting for deployment in a patch mid next week. We've been busy making improvements to Path of Exile 2—here’s what’s on the way.

One of the most requested features we have had is the ability to respec Ascendancy classes. However, something that was important to us is to make sure that while it can be done, it does require some level of effort.

We have implemented it in the following way:

• Redoing an Ascendancy Trial allows you to respec which Ascendancy Class you have chosen at the Ascension device, but only if the Trial would grant you the number of points you already have.
  
• In order to respec your Ascendancy class, you must have zero points allocated in it, but you can now open the Respec window at Balbala or the Trialmaster who are standing next to the Ascension device.
  
• Ultimatums that have 7 chambers and thus grant up to 4 Ascendancy points now can be done from level 55 down from 60.
  
• Ultimatums that have 10 chambers and thus grant up to 6 Ascendancy points can now be done from level 65 down from 75.

This change should be deployed in the next restart patch, currently anticipated to be mid next week. In addition, we have some other changes that have been made today that will be in that patch as well.


An unintentional problem with Tower maps and Hideout maps is that they don't currently spawn the rare monsters for the clear condition. Due to this, they also don't drop the extra map that is designed to allow for guaranteed map sustain.

• We have added extra rares to Tower and Hideout maps, and also the extra map drop that can come from the final rare kill. This is still not required to complete the map.

• As each new Rune Tier is unlocked we are removing the lower runes from the drop pool. This is to stop you getting spammed with lesser runes at high levels. We will adjust drop rates as that occurs so that you get a more reasonable number of total runes.
  
• We are adding the ability to add sockets to Scepters and adding mods to some Talismans for Scepters to allow upgrades to your minions at mid to late game.

We have had quite a few reports of totems not surviving at endgame due to not gaining as much elemental resistance as the player does. In order to solve this problem we have made the following changes

• Totems start gaining elemental resistances from gem level 15 up to 75% at level 20.
  
• The Ironwood support also adds some Maximum Elemental Resistance to totems.

The Shard Scavenger reservation wasn't doing enough to be useful to most players, so we made the following change.

• Shard Scavenger, in addition to its current effects, now also restores one cooldown use for all your Grenades and grants a buff for 2 seconds that prevents your Crossbow Attacks consuming bolts.

When using an uncut skill gem, it was often annoying to find the skills that you were using from off-classes to level up. In order to fix that, we have added a new tab to the gemcutting window that shows you all the gems you have equipped.


This list of the changes are just the changes that have been made so far, these are not the only changes we are investigating and they do not represent a full list of what players are reporting to us.

The ongoing Legacy of Phrecia event for Path of Exile 1 has had a lot of exciting moments caught on camera, and we've gathered up some of the recent highlights to share with you. Check them out in today's news post on the Path of Exile website here!

The Legacy of Phrecia event ends on April 23rd (PDT), so there's still plenty of time to jump in and earn the Autumn Knight Armour Set while experiencing the 19 alternate ascendancies and the Idol endgame system.

The Legacy of Phrecia event in Path of Exile 1 is in full swing! Due to its popularity within the community we are extending the event by a month until April 23rd PDT.

If you feel this extra month will not be enough to try out the builds you wanted, you’ll be able to further experiment with the Phrecia content with a set of Private League templates that we'll be making available at no cost!

After the end of the event on April 23rd, we’ll be adding a list of these Private League templates which will be available for a month. Each Private League template will have a limit of 20,000 player slots and you will be able to create as many as you want while they’re available. We’ll reveal more details as well as the full list of Private League templates in a few weeks.

We would also like to share a tentative timeline for the 3.26 expansion. We are looking to launch the expansion in June, so you might expect us to begin talking about it some time after the end of Legacy of Phrecia. We have solid plans for 3.26 and we’re sure you’ll love it. Stay tuned!

The Legacy of Phrecia event is well underway, and we've loved seeing the crazy new creations players have been putting together. Check out some of the highlights from launch in today's news post on the Path of Exile website, which you can find here!

Celebrate the start of the Legacy of Phrecia event in style with a selection of cosmetic bundles themed around alternate Ascendancy Classes. Face the Emperor in full glory and prove yourself worthy!



Most of the bundles contain a full armour set as well as extra cosmetic effects that come at a bigger discount than we usually offer in our daily deals rotation. The bundles will be available for the duration of the Legacy of Phrecia event, so don’t miss out on them. Check out the full selection here!



In case you need more points to spend on the bundles, the Settlers of Kalguur Supporter Packs are still available in the store and coincidentally enough one of them already comes with a full Armour Set themed around Paladin! In addition, all Supporter Packs contain a set of exclusive microtransactions that will not be available for purchase ever again once they leave the store. Take a look at the contents of these packs below:





This weekend we’re also offering one free Settlers Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store in Path of Exile 1 or Path of Exile 2. This means you can purchase a glorious new look or any other microtransaction and receive one Settlers Mystery Box as a gift from us. The offer is available now on both PC and Consoles now and will end at 12pm February 24th PST.

Please note: it's only possible to get one free Settlers Mystery Box from this promotion. Making additional microtransaction purchases will not grant additional mystery boxes. Purchasing a supporter pack will not grant a free Mystery Box but spending points from a supporter pack can grant a free Mystery Box. Please also note that while it’s currently not possible to open the free box in Path of Exile 2, you will still receive it and should be able to open it in Path of Exile 1 client or just wait until we add support for Mystery Boxes in Path of Exile 2 (which should not take long).

Players who have unlocked all microtransactions from the Settlers Mystery Box will receive two Polaris Mystery Boxes instead.



If you’re looking for a truly grim outfit as well as some more Mystery Boxes to open, this season’s Kirac’s Vault Pass has it all! The Vault Pass is enabled in the Legacy of Phrecia event, so exploring the Atlas with the Idols system will not only bring you tons of fun but also earn pieces of the exclusive Rot Shaman Armour Set and other bonuses. Find out more about the Kirac’s Vault Pass here.

Thanks for your ongoing support! We hope you enjoy the Legacy of Phrecia event!

The JSON file for the Passive Skill Tree in Path of Exile: Legacy of Phrecia Event is now available for tool creators! Download it here. We can't wait to see the builds you'll create in this event.

Last week we revealed all the details for the upcoming Legacy of Phrecia event in Path of Exile 1, but there are still a number of improvements we're making to the event. Check them out in this news post

Faustus has discovered a supplier of Idols and is now selling them in his Black Market. You’ll be able to gamble for Idols with Gold during the event.





You’ll be able to sell your excess Idols to a vendor in exchange for new ones. For example if you sell three magic idols of the same base, you’ll receive one random magic idol of the same base type.



Isla has developed a new attachment for her Prototype Recombinator. It can now recombinate Idols together!



There are also some new Unique Idols that can alter the content you decide to run. For example the Twisted Wish Unique Idol will make Ultimatum Modifiers start a tier higher if possible while reducing the chance of certain rewards allowing you to target the rewards you want.



The Legacy of Phrecia event begins Thursday 12PM February 20th PST. See you there!

Embrace the Legacy of Phrecia in an upcoming Path of Exile 1 event next Thursday, February the 20th (PST)! Enhance your build with one of the new 19 Ascendancy classes and shape the endgame experience with the new Idol system. By reaching certain level thresholds in the Legacy of Phrecia event you will also receive pieces of the Autumn Knight Armour Set!

Start Date: 12PM February 20th PST End Date: 1PM March 23rd PDT Based on: Settlers of Kalguur Platforms: PC and ConsolesStandard, Hardcore, Standard Solo Self-Found and Hardcore Solo Self-Found versions available. The event also has a Ruthless mode available which uses the same Ascendancy Classes as non-Ruthless versions.This event is not voided. Items and characters will transfer to parent leagues at the end of the event. Upon migration, your characters’ Ascendancy points will be respecced and you'll be assigned one of the core Ascendancy classes.

In the Legacy of Phrecia event, all the 19 Ascendancy classes you are familiar with will be replaced with new ones. Become a Servant of Arakaali and raise spiders to fight alongside you; use the powers of nature itself as the Daughter of Oshabi or just ascend into a Harbinger - this event manifests the wildest ideas of our design team into reality. Explore the Ascendancy Classes available in the Legacy of Phrecia below (the Scavenger Ascendancy for Scion will be revealed early next week):


Daughter of Oshabi

As an Azmeri, the daughter has a great respect for nature - particularly the forest. She shares many of the powers of the Warden of the Maji, as well as being empowered by Shrines or utilising Sacred Wisps to aid Wand attacks.


Whisperer

The Whisperer is a descendant of Inya of the Pale Court. She travels silently, imbuing her attacks with arcane powers. Investing in your Mana is core to taking advantage of many of her abilities.


Wildspeaker

The Wildspeaker worships the First Ones, a set of animalistic avatars from Ezomyte legend. Choose between the aspect of Farrul, first of the plains, or Saqawal, first of the sky. Her love for the animals of the forest grants her several abilities that aid her allies in battle.



Antiquarian

This Karui Collector hails from the port of Ngakanu. Over the course of his long career he has traded for historical artifacts, many of which he can employ in combat. Choose from Kalguuran relics, Karui trinkets used by legendary Chieftains or equipment from one of the great Karui enemies, General Marceus Lioneye.


Behemoth

The Behemoth abhors magic and the users of it. The truest form of combat should be hand to hand, up close and personal. The Behemoth gets progressively stronger throughout combat, gaining Rampage, Fortify and Rage.


Ancestral Commander

This Marauder calls the spirits of his Karui ancestors to his side to both protect him and strike foes down. Be comforted in the knowledge that you have generations of predecessors watching over you.



Surfcaster

The Surfcaster is simply a Chill guy. His home is with the sea, for which he attunes to gain control of the Cold and Lightning elements. An expert fisherman himself you can reap great rewards for holding a Fishing Rod, if you can find him one.


Servant of Arakaali

Tempted by the Spinner of Shadows herself, the Servant does the bidding of the Queen. Arachnophobes stay away, because the Servant can both raise spiders to fight alongside or embrace the Aspect of the Spider to cover enemies in webs.


Blind Prophet

Little is known about who the Prophet worships, but it is suspected to be a subterranean evil. Blind from a young age, the Prophet has heightened their other senses through years of training, gaining prowess in projectile attacks, stealth and inflicting curses.



Harbinger

Become a Harbinger, manipulating the bounds of reality itself. The Harbinger specializes in Time Magic as well as summoning Harbinger allies from their homeworld to assist you in combat. As a bonus you also get to fly and be blue.


Herald

The Herald sees calamity in the future, hopefully only for your enemies. She forsakes auras to go all in on Herald skills, empowering them beyond being simply minor buffs.


Bog Shaman

This witch has taken up residence in a faraway bog, away from the putrid stench of humanity. She has brewed a set of toxins that she administers to herself daily to gain potent skills in exchange for but minor drawbacks.



Gambler

Are you the kind of player who likes to play against the odds? This is the perfect class for risk lovers who want to experience the highest of highs, and potentially the lowest of lows. The Gambler specialises in betting on a high payoff and having lady luck take control.


Paladin

The Paladin is a Duelist who has taken a righteous path. He serves to better his allies in combat, protecting them from danger through Link and Aura skills as well as Taunting enemies.


Aristocrat

Born with a silver spoon in their mouth, the Aristocrat had access to the finest education in Oriath. Starting one step ahead in life grants the Aristocrat more passive skill points than any other class.



Architect of Chaos

A budding Vaal Architect, this disciple of Chaos experiments with all the deepest secrets of the Vaal. Many of his powers come with a cost. The Architect benefits from employing multiple Vaal skills in their arsenal and enhances equipped Corrupted items.


Polytheist

After a crisis of faith this Templar has decided to devote his worship between several of Wraeclast’s Pantheon of deities, with the aim of finding a new purpose in life. Powers familiar to each of the gods will be yours if you choose to pursue their paths.


Puppeteer

This Templar has desecrated the holy order by experimenting with Undead in his secret laboratory. His aim is reanimation, to command an army of flesh puppets to undertake his foul bidding.



Scavenger

This Scion has happened upon a heap of ‘trash’, discarded by other exiles, but for what reason? What exile could look at these curios and think they weren’t incredibly valuable? Well it is hers now, just to decide which to take as she can't carry them all.





In addition, the Atlas Passive Tree in this event (and this event only) has been replaced by a new system. As you progress through the endgame you'll find Idols, which can be placed into a new tab on the Map Receptacle UI to modify your maps. Find out more about the Idol system here. Note to Item Filter creators: use the new class ‘Idol’ to support Idols in your filters.


By reaching level 20, 40, 60 and 80 in the Legacy of Phrecia event, you’ll be able to earn pieces of the Autumn Knight Armour Set (Boots, Gloves, Body Armour and Helmet respectively). Just like the regular Challenge League rewards, the Autumn Knight Armour Set is earned exclusively in this event and will not be available for purchase. It will also be available for use in Path of Exile 2 if earned. Check it out!




Twitch Drops will be available for the first week of the event (12PM February 20th PST - 12PM February 27th). Watch your favourite streamer playing the Legacy of Phrecia and receive the Havenwood Cloak that perfectly accompanies the Autumn Knight Armour Set!

You will get the Havenwood Cloak after 2 hours of accumulated watch time on any channel streaming Path of Exile during the first week of the Legacy of Phrecia. This means that the drop is guaranteed for everyone who has watched any Path of Exile stream for this amount of time. This promotion is available for all accounts.

Visit your Twitch Settings page while logged in. If your account isn't connected, click the "Connect" button for Twitch under "Other Connections". Complete the process on Twitch and you will be redirected back to your Twitch Settings page. If your account is already connected, this page should say "Your Path of Exile account is currently linked to your Twitch account."

After you have accumulated enough watch time to earn your Havenwood Cloak, you must redeem it from your Twitch Inventory before they will be available in your microtransactions list in Path of Exile.


When the event begins on February 20th, just create a new character in either Standard or Hardcore Legacy of Phrecia event on the Character Selection screen. If you want to play SSF or Ruthless, don’t forget to select those options on the screen.


Yes. The event is available on PC and Consoles.

No, you’ll need to make a new character.

Yes.

No, you will be able to receive only one Armour Set per account.

A piece of the Autumn Knight Armour set will be awarded automatically upon reaching level 20, 40, 60 and 80 (you’ll receive Boots, Gloves, Body Armour and Helmet respectively).

We will consider extending the event based on its popularity, but we will also be adding alternate Ascendancy Classes and Idols Endgame system individually as Private League options some time after the event so you can experiment with them as long as you want.

Yes.

We hope you’ll have fun in the Legacy of Phrecia. Can’t wait to see the builds you make!
