Path of Exile News

Our events for March 2023 have now started and the first in line is Ruthless with Gold which is available for both PC and Consoles! If you're curious about the rest of March's events, you can find the events thread here.

[h2]Ruthless with Gold[/h2]
Ruthless with Gold is a four-week, trade-enabled, non-hardcore event that is both an opportunity to experience what Path of Exile would have been like with gold, while also letting you try out a slightly easier version of Ruthless. Players who have been keen to give Ruthless a shot but haven't wanted to do that at a major league start can use this event as a chance to try it out.

To join the event, simply click the "Join" button for Ruthless with Gold in the bottom right of the Character Select screen once you've logged into the game.

If you're in need of a few extra character slots, they're currently on sale in the store!

In Ruthless with Gold,

• Monsters and chests drop Gold Coins, which can be used to buy items from vendors.
  
• All vendor prices throughout the game have been replaced by prices in Gold Coins.
  
• When you sell items to vendors, you receive Gold Coins rather than currency shards. Other Ruthless vendor recipes are unmodified.
  
• Due to how many Gold Coins you find, they auto-pickup as you approach them.
  
• Gold Coins are itemised like Perandus Coins, and stack up to 5000 per inventory/stash space (50k in Currency Stash Wildcard Spaces).
  
• In a party, Gold Coins you pick up are shared between nearby party members.
  
• You can still find currency items, at regular Ruthless drop rates (i.e. not often). Gold Coins are dropped in addition to regular currency, meaning that in Ruthless with Gold, there is somewhat less item scarcity than full Ruthless.
  
• Sanctum is not enabled.
  
• Otherwise, base Ruthless rules apply
  

[h3]Prizes[/h3]
You’ll be able to earn one guaranteed Sanctum Mystery Box per account for reaching Level 45 in Ruthless with Gold. Please note that having multiple characters in this event will not grant you more Mystery Boxes.

The event also has a pool of microtransaction prizes that are randomly drawn for characters that reach certain level thresholds. The pool of available prizes is shared between PC and Console players. Having multiple characters will increase your chances of winning a randomly drawn prize. More details on all the prizes can be found below.



Ruthless with Gold ends at 3pm April 4th PDT.

This event is available on PC and Console. You can find the ladders for each platform's event below:

• Ruthless with Gold (PC)
• Ruthless with Gold (PS)
• Ruthless with Gold (Xbox)

You can also find all the ladders for March's events here.

Best of luck to everyone participating!

We recently concluded our eleventh season of Build of the Week with a chaotic build from SideFX. Each build this season has displayed a drastically different character, from the end-game annihilation of Jungroan's Creeping Frost build to the mind bending mechanical monstrosity of Ifnjeff's Hydrosphere build. Build of the Week is all about showcasing the community's creative characters, and Season 11 has certainly not disappointed! If you missed an episode or want to see them again, check out all the episodes from Season 11 below!

To give the Path of Exile forums a bit more flair, we've added some new avatars featuring a few NPCs and Bosses you would have crossed paths with in Wraeclast. Check them out in today's news post!



To change your forum avatar on the Path of Exile website, go to your User Profile located in the top left corner by clicking your username, then click "Change avatar" in the panel on the right.

Early in this week, we'll be releasing the 3.20.2b patch on PC. This patch includes another batch of Voidborn reliquary submissions, support for our upcoming events and a few improvements and bug fixes. Check out its patch notes in this news post.

Please note that these are still subject to change prior to the patch's deployment. The 3.20.2b update on consoles will be deployed as soon as possible after its release on PC.

3.20.2b Patch Notes


Improvements and Updates

• Added support for our upcoming March Events (including Ruthless with Gold and a lineup of Group SSF events). Check out our announcement post for more information on these events!
  
• Added 400 more foiled Unique Item options that the Voidborn Reliquary can yield.
  
• Updated Eater of Worlds' Dash Slam visuals to more accurately reflect the damaging area. This is purely a visual change.
  
• The audio cue for losing Frenzy, Endurance or Power Charges no longer plays when you have Ralakesh's Impatience equipped. This change does not apply to microtransaction alternate charge effects.
  

Website Changes

• The "My Private Leagues" page now displays the start and end times for each of your private leagues, and their remaining duration. Expired private leagues are now separated into their own section.
  
• Added the Voidborn Reliquary Key to the Fragments category of the Bulk Item Exchange section on the Trade website.
  

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where Forbidden Shako granting two supports which both grant secondary skills, such as Impending Doom and Predator, would only grant one of the skills to the player.
  
• Fixed a bug where any support effect with a secondary skill that's triggered by the supported skill, such as Impending Doom or Shockwave, would not work if granted by The Hungry Loop.
  
• Fixed a bug where Support Gems granted by Forbidden Shako that have a secondary skill effect, such as Impending Doom's Doom Blast, could be supported by another Support Gem granted by Forbidden Shako, such as Increased Area of Effect.
  
• Fixed a bug where Eldritch Implicit modifiers on The Eternal Struggle Unique were missing when dropped from the Voidborn Reliquary.
  
• Fixed a bug where Dominus was not saying any of his combat voice lines.
  
• Fixed a bug where lights in the Primeval Hideout would turn off after performing an in-area transition or leaving the hideout.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Silver Treasure Hunter Helmet would display the Bronze Treasure Hunter Effect when equipped on to the Scion.
  
• Fixed a rare bug where some players were unable to convert their Map Stash Tabs to the current Map Series due to hidden Maps with an invalid tier.
  
• Fixed a bug which prevented the Alpine Hideout from being fully cleared when discovered in the Summit Map.
