In a few weeks the 2023 Core Supporter Packs will leave the store forever to make way for a new set of packs, so you don’t have much time left to purchase one if you would like.

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 Path of Exile t-shirts, hoodies and a pack of signed art packs in higher tiers.

This floating fiery fiend is using the Voidborn Body Armour, Eternal Flame Wings, Vulcan Weapon, Brimstone Weapon Effect, Infernal Celestial Shield, Scavenger Character Effect, and the Hellfire Helmet, Helmet Attachment, Gloves, and Boots.



The Voidborn Supporter Pack also allows you to leave your mark on Path of Exile by nominating your choice of unique item, selecting its visual effect and writing a message to display when a player opens the chest containing the item. Whilst you can redeem this after the packs are removed from the store, we would like to remind all Voidborn Supporters to submit their unique if you haven't already.

This pristine poltergeist is using the Tormentor Body Armour, Wormhole Back Attachment, Warlock Daggers and the Chronomancer Boots, Gloves and Helmet.



If you're interested in getting one of the 2023 Core Supporter Packs but you're not sure you'll be able to do so in time, we'd recommend setting up a payment plan which can reserve a pack for you for up to three months after the commencement of your plan. Just email us in advance at support@grindinggear.com, we'll be happy to help you!

In today's news post, we're answering a few common questions about the November Events that start from next week.

I'm new to Path of Exile. How do these events work?
Events are temporary leagues, typically with unique modifiers that you wouldn't find in Standard or the current Challenge League to give the player a different and challenging experience.

New characters will need to be created to participate in these events by joining the event. Characters will migrate to their parent leagues at the conclusion of the event unless the event is voided.

You can join an event by clicking "Join" in the event panel found under your list of characters in the character selection screen. This option will become available 30 minutes before the event is set to begin. You'll be able to log into your character, but you won't be able to move your character until the event starts.

Why are there no Hardcore or Solo Self-Found versions of the events?
We've decided not to run Hardcore versions of the event to prevent splitting the playerbase too much. However, we've decided to add Solo Self-Found versions of all three events. This will allow players who prefer racing against other solo players to do so without needing to compete with groups.

The Solo Self-Found events will share the same microtransaction prize pool for randomly drawn prizes, but they will have their own statues and microtransaction bundles for the top players.

Characters created in the Solo Self-Found events will be migrated to the appropriate Solo Self-Found parent league at the conclusion of the events.

Please note that Solo Self-Found events will only be available on PC due to Solo Self-Found player populations on console realms.

Is the Krangled Passive Tree the same as it was last time?
No, the passive tree and Ascendancy nodes have been shuffled again since the last time we ran the event.

Will I be able to use tattoos on passive skills in the Krangled event?
Yes. Bear in mind that tattoos still have application requirements, so for example, you'll need to find the appropriate small attribute skill before applying the basic tattoos!

Are we getting old touched mobs from the Kalandra League?
No, rare monsters will have the new rare monster modifiers as they are now. No cull service required 🙂

How much experience do you end up losing on death due to the ''You lose 5x experience on death'' modifier?

• No loss prior to the Kitava battle in Act 5.
  
• 25% loss after the Act 5 Kitava battle, until killing Kitava in Act 10.
  
• 50% loss thereafter.

Will Mirrored Tablets migrate at the end of the Blast from the Past event since it's not voided?
Mirrored Tablets will be deleted before migration at the end of the event.

Will we be able to use Recombinators on mirrored items?
No, Recombinators will not be usable on mirrored items.

Is it possible to complete the ''Out of the Gate'' achievement in these events?
Yes

At ExileCon 2023, Audio Lead Kane Bennett and Lead Composer Kamil Orman-Janowski gave a presentation on the sound design and music of Path of Exile 2. You may be surprised to hear the origin of some game sounds! Check out the talk in the video below.



If you'd like to see the other talks and presentations from ExileCon 2023, check out the playlist here!

This November we'll be running three Path of Exile events, with the first one starting next Friday (US Time)! All events will be available on PC and Consoles, so everyone is welcome to join in! There are many prizes up for grabs, including Mystery Boxes, randomly drawn microtransactions and exclusive hideout statues.




When planning these events, we tried to keep in mind the interests of different types of players. Some of you enjoy making interesting builds, some prefer facing extra challenges, while some just want to test themselves in the heat of battle. The events don't overlap, so you're welcome to play more than one!

You'll be able to win two guaranteed Ancestor Mystery Boxes per account for reaching Level 50 in any two of the events. This is a total of two guaranteed mystery boxes across all three events.



The events also have a huge pool of microtransaction prizes that are randomly drawn for characters that reach certain level thresholds. This pool of prizes is shared between PC and Console players, with each event having its own prize pool. Having multiple characters will increase your chances of winning a randomly drawn prize. More details on all the prizes can be found in each event's prize section below.



The Passive Skill Tree and all Ascendancy Trees are jumbled. Minor passive skills, notables, keystones, minor ascendancy skills and major ascendancy skills have been internally scrambled within those categories (so a notable passive is still a notable passive, just a random one). All players have the same trees. The Scion is not available in this event.

You can only see properties of passive or Ascendancy skills that are adjacent to ones you have allocated.

Prizes:

Harness the power of ancient Sentinels and explore the mysterious Lake of Kalandra! The Blast from the Past event offers you an opportunity to return to these Path of Exile leagues from the past or experience them for the first time in case you missed them.

In this event, almost every Path of Exile area has both the Sentinel and Kalandra mechanics active. For more information on how these leagues work, check out the Challenge League sections in the patch notes here and here.

No.

No, you'll need to make new characters in each event.


How do I join the event?
At the character selection screen, there's a panel below your characters which will list the events available. You can join the event by clicking 'join'. This option becomes available 30 minutes before the event is set to begin. Your character won't be able to move until the event starts.


Can I make Private League versions of these events?
No.


Can I change my Ascendancy Class during these events?
Yes.


If I delete my character, will I still get a prize?
No. Please do not delete your characters until after the prizes have been awarded.


If I level multiple characters will I have a greater chance of winning a prize?
Yes. Every character you level will be independently included in the pool for the prize draw at the end of the event. This excludes mystery boxes, where you will only be able to receive two per account.


Can I win more than one microtransaction prize?
Yes, it's possible to win multiple prizes. This excludes the mystery box which is awarded twice per account. You only need to reach level 50 in two of the events to receive the free mystery box. This can be found in your microtransaction stash once awarded.


When will I receive a prize?
The Ancestor Mystery Boxes will be awarded automatically. Other microtransactions and hideout statues will be awarded after the end of the event. You'll receive a private message on the website to notify you when this has happened. Note that outside of the Mystery Box and hideout statues, prizes are drawn randomly and are not necessarily guaranteed. We'll post on our X to confirm when the final prizes have gone out.


Will I be able to access the Trial of the Ancestors during the events?
The Trial of the Ancestors is enabled only in the Krangled event.


What happens if I already have all of the microtransactions from the Ancestor Mystery Box?
If you already own the entire Ancestor Mystery Box series, you'll instead be awarded with two Apollyon Mystery Boxes per Ancestor Box earned. If you reach level 50 in two events, you will receive four Apollyon Mystery Boxes.


Are the randomly drawn microtransaction prize pools shared across platforms?
The randomly-drawn microtransaction prize pool for each event is shared across PC/Console.



Good luck, Exiles! We're looking forward to seeing the events unfold. If you're not able to participate, be sure to check the action out live on Twitch!
