Path of Exile News

Embrace the bizarre when the Legacy of Phrecia returns to Path of Exile on January 29th (PST)! With 19 alternate Ascendancy classes, battle through areas altered by map modifiers, and face enraged bosses that push your builds and your skill to the limit.

• Start Date: 1PM January 29th PST
  
• End Date:1PM February 19th PST
• Based on: Keepers
  
• Platforms: PC and Consoles
  
• Standard and Hardcore Solo Self-Found versions available.
  
• This event is not voided. Items and characters will transfer to parent leagues at the end of the event. Upon migration, your characters’ Ascendancy points will be respecced and you'll be assigned one of the core Ascendancy classes.
  

In the Legacy of Phrecia event, all the 19 Ascendancy classes you are familiar with will be replaced with new ones. Become a Servant of Arakaali and raise spiders to fight alongside you; use the powers of nature itself as the Daughter of Oshabi or just ascend into a Harbinger - this event manifests the wildest ideas of our design team into reality.

If you didn’t play in the original Legacy of Phrecia event you can check out the Ascendancies here. Do note that there have been some balance changes that will vary from this and will be available in the patch notes prior to the event.

Idols will also be making a comeback! Since the last time we ran this event, we’ve added a new set of modifiers for the Settlers League and Atlas Memories, but disabled modifiers for Breach. Craft a unique endgame experience by mixing and matching mechanics together as you see fit. With the new Asynchronous trade system getting your perfect set of idols has never been easier!

In addition to this, we’ve also sprinkled a few extra twists into the mix. To start with, every area will have a random number of map modifiers, with this number scaling up with area level. We’ve removed many modifiers from the pool that would brick builds, such as reflect.

Campaign bosses, as well as some Pinnacles have also developed a few new mechanics for you to overcome. All unique monsters will also enrage on low life.


By reaching levels 50 and 90 you will automatically receive a Third Edict Mystery Box. If you already own all of the contents from this series of Mystery Box then you’ll instead receive 2 x Atlantis Mystery Box.

How do I join?
The Legacy of Phrecia event will be available in the bottom right corner of the character select screen. You will be able to create a character for it by clicking “Join” 30 minutes before the start of the event.

Will the Legacy of Phrecia event run on all platforms?
Yes. The event is available on PC and Consoles.

Can I play my existing character?
No, you’ll need to make a new character.

Can I change my Ascendancy class during the event?
Yes.

Will I get multiple Mystery Boxes by leveling multiple characters in the event?
No, you will only receive these rewards once per account, so additional characters will not be granted additional rewards.

It's been almost four weeks since the start of Path of Exile 2's latest league, so, naturally, players with nothing better to do are trying to see if they can break the game. This involves putting together ridiculously overkill builds to squeeze out as much damage as possible for the fun of it...
