Shortly after the launch of Path of Exile: Affliction, a new item type, Valdo's Puzzle Box, will begin dropping throughout Wraeclast. The foil, tier 17 map contained within this box drops a specific foil unique item upon completing it. Sandwraith Assassin Supporters on PC are able to select the map area, the unique item that drops from completing the map, and a message to display when the unique item is obtained. That's not all, you're able to select the modifiers present on the map, including some you wouldn't typically find. There's a variety of easier and harder modifiers to choose from, though the harder the mod, the more likely the map can be obtained from the Puzzle Box.



We hope you really enjoy these Supporter Packs! Thank you so much for your generous support!

In the Affliction League, you'll be able to earn pieces of the exclusive Night Lotus Armour Set by completing 40 new challenges. At 4, 8, 12 and 16 challenges, you'll receive the Night Lotus Boots, Gloves, Body Armour, and Helmet respectively.

Additional tiers of this armour set are unlocked as you complete more challenges in the Affliction League. Completing challenges also grants you pieces of the Affliction Totem Pole Hideout decoration!

In Ruthless, you will receive the full Night Lotus Armour Set at 2 challenges, and each challenge completed after that will upgrade pieces of the set with the entire set fully upgraded once 8 challenges are completed.

That concludes our Transfigured Gem previews for Path of Exile: Affliction! If you haven't seen a preview of your favourite Skill Gem, that means it won't make it in for launch. We're sorry if we didn't get to your gem!

You can find the first batch of Transfigured Gems here, the second batch here, the third batch here and the fourth batch here. Changes to existing gems can be found here.

We can't wait to see what builds you all come up with using these new Gems! See you all tomorrow at launch!
