We've recently partnered with Nexus, a platform which allows creators to curate stores with their favourite games and content. What this means is that you can now purchase your favourite Armour Sets while supporting both your favourite creator and the development of Path of Exile!

[h2]How Does It Work?[/h2]
Follow your favourite streamer/creator's link to their Nexus store. They'll feature the Armour Sets they like the most and if one takes your interest, you can purchase it from the Nexus store which will send a portion of the proceeds to the streamer. Purchases made through this method still substantially support the development of Path of Exile.

When your purchase is complete, you'll receive a code for your microtransaction that can be redeemed on your Path of Exile account here and used as normal.

(Note: This only works for PC accounts)

[h2]Who is Nexus? [/h2]
Nexus is an off-shoot of chrono.gg that provides discounted game deals which are typically distributed via creators with affiliate links. Nexus allows creators to curate their own personalised store filled with games they like and in our case, their favourite Armour Sets! We've worked with Chrono in the past and found that from both a consumer and set-up perspective, they were easy and friendly to work with. Due to this history, we feel really comfortable that our players and creators are in good hands with the Nexus team.

[h2]Which Creators Can I Support? [/h2]
This programme is available to most creators who apply. If you're a creator, feel free to sign up here. At the moment, these are some of the content creators that have Path of Exile microtransactions in their Nexus store.

[h2]Why Armour Sets? [/h2]
Path of Exile currently has over 1,000 microtransactions available through its regular store. We wanted to make sure the setup process was as smooth as possible for everyone involved by initially limiting the number of microtransactions available for purchase. We chose armour sets because they are one of the most popular categories, they provide better profit-per-purchase for creators and are an easy category to communicate. Over time, we'll look into adding other microtransaction types to this.

We'd love to see your feedback about what you'd like to see there!

Thanks so much for your support! We're really excited to have an additional way to support creators for all of their contributions to the community.

The Ritual League ends on PC on Monday April 12th at 2PM PDT, so this is your last week to complete any unfinished challenges. On consoles, the Ritual League will end when the Ultimatum expansion goes live on April 21st PDT.

When the league ends, the exclusive Ritual Brimmed Hat will also leave the store forever! Be sure to check it out if you want to show your support for the league.

Community streamer, Brittleknee, has arranged for a showcase of Path of Exile racing strategies to be featured on Games Done Quick, a channel which focuses on demonstrating high level gameplay alongside efforts to raise money for charity. This showcase shares strategies for racing in Path of Exile, starting with the basics and progressing on to veteran strategies and secrets. You'll find the action on twitch.tv/gamesdonequick at 4pm April 5th (PDT).

Brittleknee and Games Done Quick showrunner Raelcun will be providing commentary as community streamers Tytykiller, Imexile and Balaar
demonstrate racing strategies in Act One, Act Three and Act Five.

This is an exciting opportunity to learn from experienced Path of Exile racers, particularly if you are wanting to get involved in the racing community or are looking to improve your leveling times in preparation for our upcoming expansion. If you can't watch the stream live but are still interested in finding out more about racing, the broadcast will be uploaded to the Games Done Quick YouTube channel at a later date.
