Later this week (likely on Tuesday, December 21st at 4pm PST) we'll deploy a fix to an issue in Standard league that would fail the conversion of the entire map stash tab upon converting an old map into another map that you didn't have enough room for. As a result of this fix, the map stash (and guild map stash) functionality has been changed to the following:

• Your first purchased map stash will always be set to the current map series.
  
• If the map series changes and your map stash is not empty, it will become remove-only and you will get a new empty map stash set to the current series.
  
• You can only change the map series on a map stash if you still have at least one non-remove-only map stash set to the current series after the change. This means that you won't be able to change the map stash series to store legacy maps if you have only purchased one map stash. Because of this, we'll be offering a refund option to anyone who bought a single map stash solely for collecting legacy maps. Please contact our customer support at support@grindinggear.com if this is the case for you.
  
• Convert Maps no longer converts the current map stash in-place. It instead converts as many maps as it can find space for in your non-remove-only current series map stash(es). If you run out of space for specific converted maps, they will be left in the source map stash unconverted.
  
• Convert Maps now has a progress bar and can be cancelled/resumed.

Get ready to spend the next 10 days in the company of skilled rogues as the Endless Heist Event starts at Noon December 17 (PST)! If you're interested in participating, you can find more information about this event and prizing here.

While we have your attention, we'd like to mention that during the Endless Heist event next week (likely on Tuesday, December 21st at 4pm PST) we'll deploy a small update which requires a realm restart.

Twitch Drops will be running for the first day of the Endless Heist, so if you're unable to play from the start, be sure to watch the action on Twitch in order to get the Temple Portal Effect!

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 (2 hours) to earn your Portal Effects, you must redeem them from your Twitch Inventory before they will be available in your microtransactions list in Path of Exile.

Best of luck everyone!

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.

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!
