Celebrate the Legacy of Phrecia Start with New Cosmetic Bundles

Celebrate the start of the Legacy of Phrecia event in style with a selection of cosmetic bundles themed around alternate Ascendancy Classes. Face the Emperor in full glory and prove yourself worthy!



Most of the bundles contain a full armour set as well as extra cosmetic effects that come at a bigger discount than we usually offer in our daily deals rotation. The bundles will be available for the duration of the Legacy of Phrecia event, so don’t miss out on them. Check out the full selection here!



In case you need more points to spend on the bundles, the Settlers of Kalguur Supporter Packs are still available in the store and coincidentally enough one of them already comes with a full Armour Set themed around Paladin! In addition, all Supporter Packs contain a set of exclusive microtransactions that will not be available for purchase ever again once they leave the store. Take a look at the contents of these packs below:

This weekend we’re also offering one free Settlers Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store in Path of Exile 1 or Path of Exile 2. This means you can purchase a glorious new look or any other microtransaction and receive one Settlers Mystery Box as a gift from us. The offer is available now on both PC and Consoles now and will end at 12pm February 24th PST.

Please note: it's only possible to get one free Settlers Mystery Box from this promotion. Making additional microtransaction purchases will not grant additional mystery boxes. Purchasing a supporter pack will not grant a free Mystery Box but spending points from a supporter pack can grant a free Mystery Box. Please also note that while it’s currently not possible to open the free box in Path of Exile 2, you will still receive it and should be able to open it in Path of Exile 1 client or just wait until we add support for Mystery Boxes in Path of Exile 2 (which should not take long).

Players who have unlocked all microtransactions from the Settlers Mystery Box will receive two Polaris Mystery Boxes instead.



If you’re looking for a truly grim outfit as well as some more Mystery Boxes to open, this season’s Kirac’s Vault Pass has it all! The Vault Pass is enabled in the Legacy of Phrecia event, so exploring the Atlas with the Idols system will not only bring you tons of fun but also earn pieces of the exclusive Rot Shaman Armour Set and other bonuses. Find out more about the Kirac’s Vault Pass here.

Thanks for your ongoing support! We hope you enjoy the Legacy of Phrecia event!



As Path of Exile 2 rolls on, PoE 1's lead dev may have left Grinding Gear Games

Between Last Epoch, Diablo 4, Lost Ark, and dozens of others, there's a lot of competition in the ARPG world right now. Slick mechanics and eye-catching design help you stand out, but developers will tell you that the secret to success is having a good bond with your community. The launch of Path of Exile 2 has been occasionally bumpy, but largely, Grinding Gear Games still gets a lot of love from its players. Chris Wilson, who served as lead designer and co-director on the original PoE, has been a mainstay on GGG forums and became the 'face' of the studio during the original game's creation. However, official documents suggest Wilson may have left.

Legacy of Phrecia Event Updates

Last week we revealed all the details for the upcoming Legacy of Phrecia event in Path of Exile 1, but there are still a number of improvements we're making to the event. Check them out in this news post

Faustus has discovered a supplier of Idols and is now selling them in his Black Market. You’ll be able to gamble for Idols with Gold during the event.





You’ll be able to sell your excess Idols to a vendor in exchange for new ones. For example if you sell three magic idols of the same base, you’ll receive one random magic idol of the same base type.



Isla has developed a new attachment for her Prototype Recombinator. It can now recombinate Idols together!



There are also some new Unique Idols that can alter the content you decide to run. For example the Twisted Wish Unique Idol will make Ultimatum Modifiers start a tier higher if possible while reducing the chance of certain rewards allowing you to target the rewards you want.



The Legacy of Phrecia event begins Thursday 12PM February 20th PST. See you there!

Map Stash Tab Available Now in Path of Exile 2

The Map Stash Tab is now available in Path of Exile 2! Check out the details below, or get yours now by pressing M to open the store in-game. They're currently on sale too!

The Map Stash tab can hold up to 576 Waystones of each tier.

Each Waystone tier is divided into six sub-tabs. Each of these can be customised or listed for trade individually. When you have the Map Stash Tab open, a Waystone from your inventory will be automatically stashed into the correct tab by Ctrl + Clicking it from your inventory, or with the Stash button on controllers.

Enable the Waystone affinity in the tab options to ensure that Waystones are always sent to this stash tab, even if you have other stash tabs open.

If you own any Map Stash Tabs in Path of Exile 1, these will now be available to you in Path of Exile 2.
