• Collect Monster Samples and Build your Own Bosses. Take on additional risk for greater reward
  
• In the end-game, combine Map Bosses to create the ultimate Metamorph Encounter
  
• New Currency Items: Catalysts, which add quality to your Jewellery. These quality values increase the magnitudes of specific types of mods, and make it easier to craft those mods.
  

Our Conquerors of the Atlas expansion launches in just two days! In order to help you with your builds, we've prepared gem data at level 20 with 20% quality for all the new and reworked gems in 3.9.0.

Check them out in this news post!

The full patch notes for our new Conquerors of the Atlas expansion have been released! Check them out here.

As usual, in this news post we have also included all the Item Filter and Passive Tree information so you can prepare for the launch.

In the upcoming Metamorph Challenge League you will be able to complete 40 new challenges and get exclusive microtransaction rewards. By completing 12, 24 and 36 challenges you will earn the Metamorph Footprints, Metamorph Weapon Effect and Metamorph Portal Effect respectively. Completing challenges also grants you pieces of the Metamorph Totem Pole Hideout decoration. Check out the Metamorph rewards by watching the video below:

When Path of Exile: Conquerors of the Atlas launches on PC on December 13th, you'll be able to check out the full list of Metamorph League challenges!

Blight Ends Soon
The Blight League on PC ends in a few days, on Monday, December 9th at 1pm PST, so this is your last weekend to complete your unfinished challenges.

Please note that your Blight Atlas missions will not be transferred over to parent leagues during league migration.

Next week we're also saying goodbye to the Blight Brimmed Hat, so if you've been enjoying the Blight League, be sure to grab it before it leaves the store forever!
