Path of Exile Crucible lets you risk it all for the ultimate weapon

The Path of Exile Crucible expansion has been revealed in detail, and the next big update for the hardcore, loot-driven RPG game asks you how far you're prepared to go to build that perfect weapon. Path of Exile patch 3.21 is all about forging the power of "an ancient race of titans who once shaped the primordial surface of Wraeclast" into passive weapon skill trees, which you're encouraged to push to their limits in search of the ultimate weapon.

[h2]Will Twitch Drops be enabled?[/h2]
Yes, Twitch Drops for the Sphinx Wings will be enabled from the start of the livestream until 9pm PDT for all channels streaming Path of Exile during that time.

You will get the Sphinx Wings after 45 minutes of accumulated watch time on any channel streaming Path of Exile during the event. This means that the drop is guaranteed for everyone who has watched any Path of Exile stream for this amount of time. This promotion is available for all accounts.

To ensure you don't miss out on the drop, we recommend checking that your Twitch and Path of Exile accounts are linked. For more information on linking your Twitch and Path of Exile accounts, click here.

The Polarity Group SSF Event is Live!

The Polarity Group SSF Event is now live! Work together with your teammates to take down your foes in the fourth and final of our 3.20 End-of-League events! Check out the details in today's news post.

[h2]Polarity Group SSF Event[/h2]
  • League Completion Criteria: Have three level 90 players in the same instance
  • Based on: Standard (Sanctum/Ruthless/Hardcore all disabled)
  • Accounts Allowed in League: 6
  • End date: End date: 3pm April 4th PDT
  • Platforms: PC only


In this event, both monsters and players have "polarity", which is randomly allocated between two values. You can only harm monsters that are the same polarity as you. Rare and Unique monsters swap their polarity when they reach low life. It will require players to cooperate in groups of at least two in order to be able to clear areas and bosses.

To join the event, click the banner for Polarity Group SSF Event in the bottom right of the Character Select screen once you've logged into the game. This will take you to the Private League creation page of the Path of Exile website, where you can create your own Polarity Group SSF Private League for free! Once you've created your Polarity Group SSF Private League, don't forget to invite some friends!

[h3]Prizes[/h3]
The prizes for this event are exclusive trophy statues that can be displayed in your hideouts.
  • Legend's Hideout Statue for Group Rank #1
  • Champion's Hideout Statue for Group Rank #2
  • Victor's Hideout Statue for Group Rank #3
  • Challenger's Hideout Statue for Group Ranks #4-10




The prizes will be awarded based on the time taken to have three level 90 players in the same instance. The time is counted from when you make the league, not from when the event starts. Your group can have as many shots as you want while the event is live, and don't have to be playing at exactly the same time as the people you're competing against. At the end of the event, whichever group has the best time is the winner. The prizes will be distributed after all the events have ended (in April).

You can find the ladder for the Polarity Group SSF Event here.

You can also find all the ladders for March's events here.

Good luck to everyone participating!
