Earlier this week we concluded our Scourge Fan Art Competition! While we're carefully checking each entry in order to select the winners, let's have a look at some of the submissions.



























We'll announce the winners early next week. Thank you to everyone who participated in this competition and good luck!

The year is almost over and we're ready to say goodbye to the current set of five Core Supporter Packs! In a couple of weeks we're planning to replace these Supporter Packs with new ones, so you don't have much time left to purchase one of the current Core Packs if you want one before they leave the store forever!


Each Core supporter pack contains points to spend in the store and exclusive in-game microtransactions which are only available in supporter packs and will not appear in the store. There are also physical items available, like a Path of Exile t-shirt, a hoodie and a pack of signed art prints for higher tiers. Check out the cosmetic effects from these supporter packs by watching videos below!











If you'd like to reserve a supporter pack so you can purchase it after these Core supporter packs leave the store, you can set up a payment plan with our customer support team at support@grindinggear.com. Creating a payment plan can reserve a supporter pack for you for up to three months after the commencement of your plan. The payment amounts and times are totally flexible, you just have to pre-arrange this with the team before the sale of these supporter packs ends.

Thank you so much for your continued support!

We're happy to introduce the Cursed Supporter Pack on Nexus! This means you can support your favourite streamer and get awesome new pirate-themed cosmetic effects. If you're not familiar with how Nexus works, check out this news post.

The Cursed Supporter Pack costs 60 USD and contains 200 points, an Armour Set, an alternate helmet, footprints and a pet. Watch the video below:


Please note that the Cursed Boots look like a peg leg only when equipped with the Cursed Body Armour, they'll look like regular boots with all other body armours.

To purchase the Cursed Supporter Pack, follow your favourite streamer/creator's link to their Nexus store. Please note that this Supporter Pack is available only on Nexus and won't appear in the Path of Exile store.

Prophecy was introduced in 2016 and has been part of core Path of Exile content ever since then. However, over time it has become dated and outpaced by other newer content. In our January expansion, we're removing Prophecy from Path of Exile. This means you have a limited time to use your Silver Coins and saved Prophecies. Find out more in this news post. It also means we'll be saying goodbye to Navali and the Pale Council. Don't worry too much about Navali though, she likely saw it coming.

The following changes are currently planned but are still subject to change:

• Silver coins, itemised Prophecies, and Pale Council fragments will be deleted from your inventory and stash the next time you log in after the launch of 3.17.0.
  
• Unique items previously exclusive to Prophecy chains or the Pale Council fight will be added to the core drop pool.
  
• There are a number of Fated Unique items that we feel are no longer exciting enough to stay in the main game. The following Fated Unique items will no longer be obtainable outside of trading with other players in permanent leagues: Corona Solaris, Crystal Vault, Deidbellow, Dreadsurge, Ezomyte Hold, Fox's Fortune, Greedtrap, Hrimnor's Dirge, Kaltensoul, Karui Charge, Martyr's Crown, Mirebough, Ngamahu Tiki, Panquetzaliztli, Realm Ender, Sanguine Gambol, Shavronne's Gambit, Silverbough, Sunspite, The Effigon, The Gryphon, The Oak, Voidheart and Wall of Brambles.
  
• In a few cases, the Fated version of a Unique item felt worth keeping in the game but there was little value in having the Fated and base versions of the Unique item be separate. In these cases, the Fated Unique item will be disabled, but the base Unique item will be modified to be identical or similar to the old Fated version. These are: Winterweave, Thirst for Horrors, Cragfall, Geofri’s Legacy, The Iron Fortress, The Dancing Duo and Timetwist.
  
• Atziri’s Reflection will no longer be considered a Fated Unique item. It will be moved to be a rare drop from Uber Atziri. Atziri’s Mirror will no longer drop.
  
• Fated Unique Items not mentioned above will have a chance to drop from any endgame map boss. This is a temporary measure — we intend to implement a more interesting way to obtain Fated Unique items alongside some new items in a future expansion.
  
• Existing items that grant Prophecy rewards, such as Delirium Orbs or Metamorph Samples, will be updated to grant a different reward type.
  
• We’re adding Lilly Roth as a new possible hideout NPC. She will take over hideout divination card turn-ins from Navali, and also give you access to her gem shop.
  
• We may bring back specific rewards from other prophecies (such as Monstrous Treasure) in new ways.
  
• Divination Cards that grant itemised prophecies will be redesigned in collaboration with the supporters who created them. If you are a supporter who has created such a card, please check the email address associated with your Path of Exile account for a message from us.

We wanted to give as much warning as possible so that you have time, if you wish, to use up your Silver Coins, Prophecies and Pale Council fragments before the launch of 3.17.0 in early 2022.

The Scourge Fan Art Competition ends in less than a week, so those of you who wanted to participate still have some time left to submit your artwork. In the meantime, we've gathered some more submissions to share with the community. Check them below!
