Ready for the next Build of the Week? Created by Mathil, this week's build uses Rolling Magma and takes advantage of weapon swapping to switch between huge AoE for clearing and focussed explosions for single target damage! Check out the showcase below!


For more information about Mathil's build, you can find their video here and their forum post here.

If you're keen to get featured in next week's video, make sure you post your build in our Classes/Builds sub-forum, which you can find on our forum homepage!

For today's news post, we've gathered a few pieces of Path of Exile related art to show off the amazing talent of our community. Check them out below!














If you've been inspired and would like to share your creations with us, make sure to post them in our Community Showcase Forum or our subreddit.

Later this week, we're planning to release the 3.19.1c update with some of the changes to Archnemesis monsters and Kalandra League we mentioned in our news post last week. The patch also includes further Archnemesis changes and some bug fixes. Check out the patch notes below.

The following patch notes are still subject to change prior to the patch's deployment. We'll deploy the 3.19.1c update on consoles as soon as possible after its release on PC.

Archnemesis Changes

• Increased the cooldown of the Ice Prison Archnemesis modifier from 5 seconds to 10 seconds, and the duration of the Ice Prison has been increased from 3 seconds to 5 seconds. This results in 50% prison uptime rather than 60%, and fewer overall prisons.
  
• Lowered the duration of the shocked ground on death from the Electrocuting Archnemesis modifier from 25 seconds to 10 seconds.
  
• Removed the damage from the Permafrost Archnemesis modifiers cold-damaging ground area. The area now only applies chill.
  
• Lowered the duration of the Incendiary Archnemesis modifiers fire-damaging ground area from 4 seconds to around 3 seconds.
  
• Disabled the on-death ground effects for the Incendiary Archnemesis modifier for Magic monsters.
  
• Disabled Volatiles from spawning on death when a Magic monster with the Toxic Archnemesis modifier is slain.

Lake of Kalandra Changes

• Gems are no longer a possible chest reward from Tier 3 and 4 generic encounters in the Lake of Kalandra and, for the most part, have been replaced by Currency chests.
  
• Reflection of the Dream now has 50% increased Monster density (previously 100%), and the Breach now opens and closes 30% slower. This is both for reasons related to performance and the difficulty level of the encounter.
  
• Added a warning message that will display in the Mirrored Tablet interface when performing an action that disconnects one or more tiles, preventing them from being accessed.

Other Changes

• Increased the chance for the Will of Chaos and Deadly End Ultimatum Aspects to drop from their respective bosses.
  
• Void Jaguar Influence monsters now have 50% of physical damage converted to cold damage (previously 75%), and now have a variable time before they can use their Leap Slam skill after spawning (previously a fixed time).
  
• Consuming Thrall Influence monsters now deal 30% less damage with their projectiles against enemies at close range (previously 15% less).
  
• Increased the following Skills target limit to 100: Ancestral Warchief, Bladestorm, Cleave, Contagion, Doryani's Touch, Earthquake, Vaal Earthquake, Fire Burst, Flame Golem's Flame Wave Skill, Ground Slam, Ice Nova, Shattering Steel, Shock Nova, Whirling Blades, Wild Strike's Fire Area of Effect, and Vortex.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where Metamorphs with the Magma Barrier modifier would always create Fire Volatiles and be surrounded by a Magma Barrier the moment they transformed.
  
• Fixed a bug where Operative's Strongboxes were not being affected by increases to Quantity of Items contained in Strongboxes.
  
• Fixed a bug where the "A Trip Down Memory Lane" Challenge still required you to complete 6 Atlas Memories.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Pantheon of the Gods Challenge could not be completed across two separate characters.
  
• Fixed a visual bug where increased Quantity and Rarity of Items from allocated Atlas Passive Skills was not always displayed in the Map Overlay Mods.
  
• Fixed a bug where item labels could be offset incorrectly in the Lake of Kalandra.
  
• Fixed a bug where the highest modifier tier for local increased Attack Speed on Bows was displayed as tier 2.
  
• Fixed a bug where some explicit modifiers did not have a vendor sell price.
  
• Fixed two client crashes.
  
• Fixed an instance crash.

Your entry doesn't have to be an image. While images are of course preferable, even a textual description is good enough if it's really clever and would make a great T-shirt.
Your submission must be 100% your own work. You're allowed to refer to Path of Exile content and use its art assets, but please don't submit full screenshots from the game. Your design should be easily identifiable as a reference to Path of Exile. All designs must be appropriate for an audience of most ages. No nudity, profanity or overtly mature themes. Keep it classy!

Remember that various constraints apply to the physical shirt creation process. While a shirt that consists of the entire Skill Tree wrapped around your body may be awesome, it's not necessarily something that we're able to print easily. We'll be taking these considerations into account when selecting winners. Also, we're hoping people will be able to wear these shirts in public without feeling silly. A realistic picture of a Templar with no pants might be an awesome in-joke, but people might not want to actually wear it outside.

Submissions will be accepted until Monday, 17th October at 9am (NZT). Once your entry is ready, please post it in this thread. You're welcome to submit multiple different designs and we encourage people to discuss each other's submissions as they're posted. Seeing the community's reaction to submissions may help us in the judging process.

To post an image, first upload it to an image hosting website like imgur.com and paste the link into a forum-reply and use the img tags.

Winning entries will be selected via the creative teams at Grinding Gear Games. We'll be selecting entries that we feel would make great shirts and are able to be produced. The winning designs will be announced within a week of the end of the contest.

Please note:

• By submitting an entry, you grant us permission to use that entry for any purpose including commercial sale.
  
• Submitted entries must not use copyrighted material (other than Path of Exile material which they can contain).
  
• Selection of winners will be performed by Grinding Gear Games. All decisions are final.
  
• If we make your design into a shirt, you'll get a copy.
  
• We'll ship the prizes internationally for free, but you are responsible for any taxes that need to be paid to get them into your country.

If you like a design that you see in this thread, please post to let people know!

We're bringing the Build of the Week series back! Over the coming weeks, we'll be showcasing some cool and unique builds created by the community.

For more information about ABCkid's build, you can find their forum post here.

If you're keen to get featured in next week's video, make sure you post your build in our Classes/Builds sub-forum, which you can find on our forum homepage!

Microtransactions from the Sentinel Mystery Box are now available in the store! We've individually priced each set of items based on its type and rarity.

Check out all the other Sentinel microtransactions by watching the video below. You can also view the full range in the store by pressing 'M' while in-game to access the store.

In an upcoming patch, we'll be making some further small changes to the Lake of Kalandra expansion. This news post outlines what you can expect.

In a previous post, we mentioned we were discussing issues related to magic find/culling feeling mandatory as well as cases where it feels bad to get a lot of quality currency or flasks from killing a monster with specific Archnemesis modifiers. In both of these cases, our discussions are ongoing. However, in order to provide a bit more certainty, we can say that we don't have easy solutions for these issues mid-league and will be looking at what's possible for 3.20.

We're planning to remove Gems as a possible reward from Tier 3 and 4 generic encounters in the Lake of Kalandra. For the most part, these will be replaced by Currency Chests.

We're planning to reduce the number of monsters that spawn in the Reflection of the Dream encounter. Additionally, we're planning to reduce the open and close time of the Breach. This is both for reasons related to performance and the difficulty level of the encounter.

We are lowering the duration of the shocked ground on death from the Electrocuting archnemesis mod from 25 seconds to 10 seconds.

We are also removing the damage from Permafrost's cold-damaging ground area. The area only applies chill now.

We are lowering the duration of Incendiary's fire-damaging ground area from 4 seconds to around 3 seconds.

We're increasing the cooldown of the Ice Prison Archnemesis mod from 5 seconds to 10 seconds. The duration of the Ice Prison is being increased from 3 seconds to 5 seconds. This results in 50% prison uptime rather than 60%, and fewer overall prisons.

For magic monsters only: we're disabling on-death ground effects for the Incendiary modifier. We're also disabling volatiles from spawning on death when a monster with the Toxic modifier is slain.

Flasks will be able to have Fractured modifiers, which can be obtained through the Empowered Elements conversion modifier.

We're planning to increase the chances for the Will of Chaos and Deadly End Ultimatum Aspects to drop from their relevant bosses.

We have a small patch coming out in the next couple of days with some very minor fixes, most of which is unrelated to the above changes. We'll get this set of changes out as soon as we can.

Next week we will put more tickets on sale at 2pm on September 22nd (PDT) (9am on Friday in New Zealand). This batch will include 70 VIP tickets, 200 regular tickets and 250 balcony tickets.

Balcony tickets are identical to regular tickets but have you seated on the third floor of the auditorium (the Balcony) for the keynotes and potentially other talks. They are a bit less expensive ($210 USD).

If you have an existing ticket that you'd like to upgrade to one of the restocked higher-tier ones, there will be an Upgrade button available next to that ticket type. You'll only pay the difference between your current one and the new tier.

Please also note that the name on your ticket needs to match your photo ID, so when purchasing a second ticket for your friend or a family member, make sure that the name on that ticket matches their photo ID.

This is the final large wave of tickets, so if you are planning to attend ExileCon in person, don't miss out on them! We can't reserve tickets for you, so the only way to get one of the new batch is to be online at exactly the time they go on sale. Good luck!

This weekend we are running a Wings and Back Attachment Sale! You can view the full selection by pressing 'M' to open the store in-game. The sale runs all weekend and ends at 6pm September 12th (PDT).

During the sale, we’re also offering one free Kalandra Mystery Box when you spend points! If you've already unlocked every item from the Kalandra Mystery Box, you'll get Two Warlord Mystery Boxes instead! This promotion is available on both PC and consoles.

Have a look at the what’s in the box below.



Please note: it's only possible to get the free Mystery Box(es) once from this promotion. Making additional microtransaction purchases will not grant additional mystery boxes. Purchasing a supporter pack will not grant the free Mystery Box(es) but spending points from a supporter pack can grant them.

In case you need points for this sale, we'd recommend checking out the Lake of Kalandra Supporter Packs, which you can find by pressing 'M' to open the store in-game.

Thank you so much for your support!
