Path of Exile News

Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas and the Archnemesis League launch soon! In this news post, we've gathered all the information you need to know about what happens on launch day.

The realm goes down and patching begins at: 8am February 4th PST
The servers go live at: 11am February 4th PST

The patch size for the update will be around 5.7GB on Steam.

If you're looking for some extra character slots for the launch, we're running a sale on these right now! This is also your last chance to get Atlantis Mystery Boxes! It will leave the store when our next Mystery Box becomes available! Keep in mind that if you haven't taken advantage of it yet, it's still possible to get one free Atlantis Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store. NOTE: this is only possible once per account. Additional purchases do not grant additional mystery boxes. If you need some extra points, we recommend checking out the Archnemesis and Core Supporter Packs.

In case you still haven't decided which build to play with, check out the Class subsections on the forum for suggestions from the community. Many of our community streamers are also providing build guides on YouTube!

For those of you wanting to compete in the upcoming expansion, we are holding a Boss Kill Event where players will race to be the first to kill The Maven, The Searing Exarch and The Eater of Worlds! We have exciting prizes lined up for the winners. Find out more in this news post.

If you want a new look to match your build, check out the Nexus stores of your favourite creators for their curated selection of Armour Sets to support them as well as the development of Path of Exile!

We can't wait to see your latest adventures through Atlas of Worlds. We'll see you at launch!

In preparation for the Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas expansion, we've gathered up all the Item Filter information you need to help you get ready for the launch.

If you're not sure what to do with this information, don't worry too much! We'll update Path of Exile's built-in item filter alongside the launch of Siege of the Atlas.

In addition to the item filter information below, we also wanted to let you know that in this patch, there have been changes to the names of the Expedition currencies. The new order of Kalguuran Artifacts is as follows: Lesser, Greater, Grand, Exceptional. This change was made to keep naming conventions consistent across currency types.

[h3]New and Updated Item Filter Functionality[/h3]

• Synthesised Maps can now be filtered for with the Base Item "Synthesised Map"
  
• Fixed a bug where some Item Filter matching operators are backwards when used with count number
