Path of Exile director Mark Roberts isn't afraid to change "very ancient and often low-quality content"

Path of Exile 3.28, the ARPG's new 'Mirage' update, brings its previous league, Keepers of the Flame, to the core game. While it's relatively common for developer Grinding Gear Games to adapt old seasonal mechanics into a more permanent, if less dramatic, incarnation that sticks around for good, this one feels a little different. Keepers was the RPG's first-ever 'sequel league,' introducing a new and evolved form of Breach. With its integration into the main game, that means the old-school incarnation of Breach is essentially gone.

Path of Exile: Mirage Challenge Rewards

In Path of Exile: Mirage, you’ll be able to earn pieces of the Orb Regalia Armour Set by completing 40 new challenges.

At 12, 20, 28, and 36 challenges you’ll receive the Orb Regalia Boots, Gloves, Body Armour and Helmet respectively.

Completing challenges also grants you pieces of the Mirage Challenger Trophy Hideout Decoration!

In Ruthless you’ll receive these microtransactions at 2, 4, 6, and 8 challenges completed.

We also wanted to note that we are aware of the feedback regarding challenge rewards and are planning to introduce four different cosmetic rewards next league rather than pieces from a single Armour Set. Going forward, we are keen to have a rotation of challenge rewards, where one league would feature an Armour Set and the next one would feature a selection of different microtransactions.
