Path of Exile News

Creating a dedicated merchandise store for Path of Exile is something we've wanted to do for a long time but have always been blocked by solving the logistics of it (like the cost of shipping products to and then from New Zealand). Ultimately, there was enough in the way that it just hasn't ended up happening.

After looking at all the options, we're happy to reveal that we're currently collaborating with J!NX to bring the idea of a dedicated Path of Exile merchandise store to fruition. We've worked with J!NX many times in the past to create goodies for past supporter packs as well as all of our ExileCon Merchandise. We really enjoy working with their team and are happy with the quality of their products (their team has also requested we state that they're exceptionally good looking). We're confident that making this store with their team is the right choice for us and the community.

We're currently still in the early phases of planning and while discussing potential designs, we thought what better than to ask the question directly - what do you, the community, want? We want to know what sort of things you'd like to own (like socks, stickers, hoodies, hats) and what sort of designs you'd like to see. Direct suggestions for desired themes are encouraged! We're open to hearing any and all preferences and will sort through all the feedback as a reference point for future discussions.

Note: Please only post suggestions that you are happy for us to use for making and selling merchandise without attribution or royalties. With this in mind, please do not post fully fledged visual designs. We're looking for ideas only and will create the designs collaboratively with the J!NX team.

Let us know what you think!

We recently released our second Path of Exile 2 Trailer and Gameplay Showcase which prompted community streamer, KittenCatNoodle, to dig deeper into the potential narrative of Path of Exile 2! While the content within is purely speculation, there's certainly a lot of interesting things to uncover…

Check out the video below! (Turn on closed captions for translated subtitles.)

In late 2019, we held the first ExileCon convention in Auckland, New Zealand. ExileCon gave us a great opportunity to experiment with new merchandise for Path of Exile such as the Celestial Cat Socks, Exalted Orb Foam Balls, various plush toys and a lot of different t-shirt designs. We sold much of this merchandise during ExileCon but we do have some very limited stock left over, and have been trying to find a fair way to make it available to players who were unable to attend the event. Today's news post details our plan.

For many merchandise items, we had to hit minimum quantity thresholds in order for them to be possible. So we knew we were going to be left with a few hundred thousand dollars of merchandise that we'd need to sell after the event. We're not able to handle the logistics of running a general merchandise store ourselves at the moment, and we also worry that the best items would sell out instantly. We tried to find a straightforward way to sell all of the remaining stock and make it available for purchase for anyone who may have missed out on being able to attend in person. We would rather that this money was being spent on development rather than filling up a storage unit.

We have packaged the merchandise into Mystery Bags that are identified by their shirt sizes. When you buy a bag of a specific shirt size, you're guaranteed at least two Path of Exile t-shirts (in different designs) and one plushie. The other items in the bag are also random and are picked to top the value up so that all the bags are worth approximately the same amount. For clarity, these bags do not contain any past exclusive supporter pack physical merchandise. It's just the merchandise that we made for ExileCon. Each ExileCon Mystery Bag contains at least its face value in merchandise, with a chance to receive items that are in lower stock or higher demand. Unfortunately, we cannot offer to sell specific merchandise directly or to let people choose which random outcome they get, as the most popular pieces of merchandise are also the ones we have the fewest left of.

The bags are priced at $100 USD + shipping (and sales tax if you're in New Zealand). If you want to buy one, contact [email protected] and let them know your address and your desired shirt size (you can't pick which specific mystery bag outcome you'll get, only your shirt size). They'll calculate a total and will send you a payment link. If you pay within 24 hours, you'll be locked in. Otherwise it'll go to the next person in the queue. Because these may sell fast, there's initially a limit of one bag per customer.

Please note that there are no hoodies left in stock and they are not included in the mystery bags.

Below, you can find the nine possible random outcomes for each mystery bag purchase. Below that, you can view what quantity of each outcome is available for each shirt size.
