Path of Exile News

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!

There are so many incredible works of art created by our community and in today's post we've gathered some of them to share with you. Check them out!

By the end of the week, we're planning to deploy the 3.19.1 patch which addresses things such as balance changes to Archnemesis and Eldritch currency, as well as improvements to the Lake of Kalandra which were discussed in last week's news post. In this news post we've prepared a preview of its patch notes.

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

3.19.1 Patch Notes

Lake of Kalandra Changes

• Increased the amount of Reflecting Mist you encounter by roughly 50%.
  
• Breachlords spawned in Reflection of the Breachlord now spawn closer to the start of the Breach.
  
• Rock formations in the Lake of Kalandra now block projectiles, allowing you to hide from enemy attacks.
  
• Widened some bridges connecting Reflection Tiles in the Lake of Kalandra.
  
• League Reflections where Kalandra is present now have intro and outro dialogue.
  

Archnemesis Changes

• The Heralding Minions Archnemesis modifier can no longer be found on Delve monsters in the Azurite Mine. Monsters spawned at Legion, Breach or Beyond encounters in the Azurite Mine can still be found with this modifier.
  
• Rare monsters spawned during Boss fights are now limited to 2 Archnemesis modifiers.
  
• Rare monsters that do not drop loot are now limited to 2 Archnemesis modifiers.
  
• The Aura from the Executioner Archnemesis modifier and Verdant Spores inflicted by the Healing Nova from the Rejuvenating Archnemesis modifier no longer affect Player minions.
  

Beyond Changes

• The Life of Beyond Bosses has been lowered by roughly 5%, and the Life of all other Beyond monsters has been lowered by approximately 60%.
  
• Improved the outcome odds for the Tainted Orb of Fusing, Tainted Jeweller's Orb and Tainted Mythic Orb.
  
• Beyond Bosses can no longer spawn in Temporal Incursions.
  

Other Improvements and Changes

• Lowered the damage dealt to minions by League monster skills and endgame Map Boss skills that felt punishing, for example, Shaper's Beam and Slam skills, Tul, Creeping Avalanche's Barrage skill, and many of Sirus, Awakener of Worlds' skills, amongst many others.
  
• Eldritch Exalted Orbs, Eldritch Chaos Orbs and Eldritch Orbs of Annulment now drop in lower area levels, and their drop rate has also been buffed.
  
• Marks applied to you by a monster are now removed if you move a great distance away from the monster.
  
• Lowered the number of Rare and Magic monsters spawned during Harvest Boss encounters.
  
• The Horticrafting Station now displays how much Lifeforce of each type you have available.
  
• Reduced the likelihood a full sequence of Strongboxes could fail to spawn in areas affected by Alva's Memory of Cascading Fortunes.
  
• The "Confine Mouse to Window" Option now confines your mouse to be within the maximum supported aspect ratio for those using larger aspect ratios (to prevent accidentally clicking on black bars).
  
• Updated the description on Aegis Aurora's Energy Shield recovery to "Recover Energy Shield", previously "Replenishes Energy Shield". This is not a functional change.
  
• Added the Physical tag to the Poacher's Mark Skill Gem.
  
• Updated the Arctic Armour ground effect audio to be quieter.

• Fixed a bug where Innocence was not immune to knockback when encountered outside of his arena, such as in the Lake of Kalandra, or in Maven's Invitations.
  
• Fixed an issue with Einhar's Memory of the Sacred Grove where monsters spawned in the Sacred Grove could become stuck in a wall.
  
• Fixed a bug where Flame Turrets in the Vaal Omnitect Boss fight could fail to activate.
