We are running a 50 Point Sale with a massive variety of cosmetic effects available for only 50 points or less; including Skill Effects, Pets, Hideout Decorations and many more! Check out the full list of specials here.

The 50 Point Sale will run from the time of this post until July 20 at 4pm NZT.

In case you need points for this sale, we recommend checking out our new Expedition Supporter Packs!

[h2]Get a Free Apollyon Mystery Box When You Spend Points[/h2]
Until the launch of Path of Exile: Expedition, we're offering one free Apollyon Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store. This means you can purchase a discounted cosmetic effect or any other microtransaction from the store and receive one Apollyon Mystery Box as a gift from us. The offer is available on both PC and Consoles.

Please note: it's only possible to get one free Apollyon 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.

This offer will end when the Expedition League launches.

Path of Exile's next expansion shakes up the meta with "lots and lots of new gems"

Path of Exile's next big expansion has just been unveiled in a livestream with Grinding Gear Games' co-founder Chris Wilson. Called the 3.15 update - or Expedition, if you're all fancy-like - it's a massive new content drop themed around a "group of Kalguurans who have set out on an expedition to investigate the fate of their ancestors and recover special ruined artifacts they left behind". Alongside new characters to meet and things to do, it'll add a new challenge league, make the game trickier overall, and shake up the game's meta by adding gems - "lots and lots of new gems".

As the action-RPG game's fans know well, gems are essentially what give PoE's characters their active skills and then allow players to augment these further. There are already hundreds in the game, across both the active and support gem types, but Grinding Gear Games is adding a ton more with the Expedition expansion.

"For quite a while now, the way we have approached new skills in Path of Exile expansions is to make a bunch of gems themed around an entirely new build or [by] dramatically augmenting a few existing builds," Wilson says in the reveal of the new content. He cites the Blood skills from the previous Ultimatum expansion as a good example of this, and notes that, while this approach helps create intriguing new build options, it doesn't necessarily have a wider-reaching effect across all characters.
