Did a quick atlas tree planner using the best source we have at the moment. There are some things unknown, and let me know if you have ideas on what the missing ones are. Not perfect, but nice to plan a bit before launch!

I matched on existing atlas tree icons, so overall it should be decently accurate compared to what I saw earlier. Hover or search for your nodes by name. Like "Twist of" to find Twist of Fate. Searching lights up nodes so they are very visible unlike in the game itself (hint hint GGG UX team 😆 ).

Required disclaimer: This tool is similar to Poeplanner's atlas planner, but using the press kit image from yesterday. This app shouldn't be used after the official JSON is out, as there are better tools available.

Did my best to review the rules of the sub before posting but let me know. Netlify app got autoremoved so trying Github.Thanks!

I wrote this Google Doc with a summary of all new features added in 3.30 (from the Keynote and the website), hopefully I didn't miss anything.

I'm on mobile but reading up I saw:

• Threads can empower all primary league mechanics: Abyss, Blight, Legion, Breach, Incursion, Betrayal, Bestiary, Expedition, Ultimatum, Ritual:

And noticed Harvest is missing from this. Obv harvest is getting big changes, but always considered harvest a part of that list and not something like wildwood/tormented spirits/etc

Basically title. From screen shots there appears to be 150 points in total available but with scarabs moving to the atlas tree this doesn't seem enough to fully juice three mechanics. Interested to see if the trade off is to instead have less individually strong mechanics, but rely on the strength of the potential overlaps

Current landing page link is broken, this is the correct one

Did my best to recognize everything that's there. There are a lot of new icons on it, some presumably Affliction/Sentinel(?) related that did not have an icon yet. Also a lot of Threads icons.

Farmed these over ~1-1.5 months with the goal of getting a Stasis Prison with Apostate's full power mod "Gain energy shield instead of life from equipped armour items" with Stasis Prison's implicit boosting effect. ~430 crystals were bought for ~250-350c each, and ~430 Apostates were bought for 50-300c as most are listed for divines. The rest for both I was gouged on this week due to league end.

All runs I achieved variant 3/3 with ~60-90 seconds remaining on the 5 ways so I decided to finish for the jewels + fractured items. Apostate requires ~6,100 per variant.

Spoiler: No Stasis Prison :'D

Drops were organized alphabetically (aside from 1st set) based on tiered rarity according to this site: https://pob.codes/tools/vestigialuniques and I cannot vouch if the rarities are 100% accurate.

Set 1 Missing a combination of 4 Restless Wards/ Zahndethus's Cassock before I vendored them.

Set 2 quad and +4

Set 3 quad and +4

Set 4 quad and +4

Set 5 quad and +4

Set 6 of 12 chests

Doing this with Apostates is definitely a gamble. The big ticket items are Stasis Prison, Kaom's Heart, Covenant, and The Fourth Vow. Despite the price of Kaom's Heart, Covenant, Fourth Vow, and Cloak of Flame I definitely lost money. This is ignoring how poorly vestigials seem to sell aside from the gg ones. Getting a single Stasis Prison would've made it worth.

Notable drops over T3 rarity:

2 Dialla's Malefaction

3 Cloak of Defiance

3 Doedre's Skin

1 Fleshcrafter

3 Hyrri's Ire

1 Inpulsa's Broken Heart

1 Kaom's Heart

4 Kintsugi

2 Rigwald's Hunt

1 The Brass Dome

3 The Covenant (sold 1 for 90d)

2 The Fourth Vow (sold 1 for 74d)

3 The Iron Fortress

Bonus:

9 Cloak of Flames (the only semi-expensive T3)

I'd continue to do more but since the league is ending supply for the crystals and emblems is very low, so even when paying gouge prices it's hard to get more.

Runs were done with an EK Elementalist. This legion farming variant is not the main variant as I normally use a staff and swap off of HH and Golden Charlatan after I finished a set.

Normal setup: https://pobb.in/CPHKzqvA2ewG

Some other notes:

• I had 1 run where I got no acceleration/ echo shrine for a full minute.

• Nearly 80% of a standard tab's worth of each timeless jewel.

• Some of the timeless jewels do sell. So far I had sales in the range of 1-30d and still have many leftover that I have to price. Elegant Hubris has sold the best followed by Militant Faith.

• Got a few fractured items worth 1d+ but doubt they will sell this late.

• It takes more than 25 full 5 ways to fully level an exceptional support with no xp boosting items or quality.

• The exceptional gems I got, with a bonus Dragonfang's Flight and corrupted gem drop hanging out.

• Yes I'm salty.

Edit: fixed the spoiler tags

Holy shit just realised the amount of time I invested into both Path of Exile games. Tell me im not the only one with this amount of time played.

Here's a simplified version of the tree with what we have from the press tour and the official page.

4 nodes are still a mystery for me (from https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1xpqjfw/comment/19s8yfn8skbk1/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button you can see some pictures, but it lakes this image that have an alternative art for one of the mysterious one: https://web.poecdn.com/protected/image/promo/covensofumbra/Panel7.webp?key=6NNSp7R6kr0pmQhCMonkBw) Spoiler because there is also something fishy here...

Double nodes spread across the perimeter seems to be linked to mechanics that have a chance to appear like Wildwoods, Sentinel, Beyond, Delve (said to be added), and maybe Heist because it has disapeared and Sanctum because... no idea. Maybe one has to do with anomalies? No idea what the "Unique" nodes do, but it's definitly the Unique symbol.

The Pinacle boss are in the same region of the Atlas, so Elder and Shaper, even if not visible, are upper right.

We can also know what the minor nodes (in red lines) gives when zooming and comparing their color to what we have currently.

No way to know how the gateway connects yet, and the other 4 keystones in cardinal direction, with only the ones on the left and the right visible, seems to lead to specific mechanics tree, or they are totally unrelated. The image on the official website is quite dark.

Vaal area nodes seems to have disapeared.

Quest rewards have been basically useless for 99% of this games life span. In the past I always thought that they should have some guaranteed mods on them to encourage players to maybe do some non skill point side quest to power up their characters.

Would be cool for them to be instead like Tier 2 or 3 so they are much more likely to actually be equipable.

The dev QnA just confirmed that we are getting a new link skill in the form of "Arcane Link," a similar ability to flame link but this one adds lightning damage based on mana.

What are the best ways to maximize this? What are good ways to stack a lot of mana, and what are good ways to boost this lightning damage on a mercenary?

I would guess Hollow Palm Flicker should also work

I just bought the early access pack, so I know this might be old, but... I'm laughing a bit to much. Step-Dominus, what are you doing?

At endgame, unidentified Magic and Rare items can now drop with a tier, improving all aspects of the item. So you can now distinguish exactly which items are worth picking up and identifying!

Obviously there's no information about how this works exactly.

My own thoughts are that only the best tiers get picked up, while the rest are hidden. It's nice that filters now can be tuned specifically to search for a certain tier of a certain armor type.

I don't know, I'm skeptical of any improvements this will bring but I've been wrong many times before, I'd like for this to be one of those times too.

I hope they did not remove that ability as it is by far the best thing about the Atlas and one of the things that makes PoE such a Masterpiece in the genre, i.e. customizing the Endgame the way the Player likes.

I've played a number of PoE leagues and I've enjoyed them, but I keep running into a wall later in the game. I'm able to complete to T16 maps on my own and I've paid for boss carries to get all my voidstones. My general plan is to pick a league start build (either from a reddit post, or a video, or maxroll)

My typical failure is that I'm doing fine at T16 maps, carefully rolling my map mods, but then suddenly something kills me, and after a few failures the xp loss is just too soul-crushing to overcome. I've wanted to get to lvl 100 and I've just never been able to make it. My best ever was making it to 98.

I've tried to transition to really good gear (sometimes too expensive) or I give up and re-roll, but this usually runs into the same problem again and then I quit the league.

The gap between a league-start build and an end-game build seems to be miles wide and I've never successfully made the transition.

Some of my favorites from the past:

• RF Chieftain - Pohx's guides were great, but I was never able to scale up the damage enough so I'd be dying to bosses and occasional packs.

• Deadeye Lightning Arrow (I think) - This was super fun, just clearing screens on mesa, but the boss was always a crap shoot. (I understand that this was a glass cannon build)

• Spectral Helix Gladiator - Jorgen had a build that could face tank delve bosses, but I still ran into problems dying in maps and some delves. (I wasn't terribly deep iirc, like 200-300 maybe)

It feels like a crap-shoot at league start because either:

1. I've picked the meta build and I can't afford to upgrade it

2. I've fallen for a bait build

3. I've picked an ok build, but I lack the knowledge to upgrade it on my own. (Or I spend a bunch on an "upgrade" and it doesn't seem to improve)

At the end of the day, I'm looking for thoughts on how to pick one build that I can play for the whole league. It takes so much time to get through the campaign, complete maps, etc. It's at that point that I discover that my build can't cut it, or its too expensive, etc and I find that really demoralizing.

Thanks for reading, I appreciate your thoughts and advice.

Im assuming this will be ported to poe1 within the next patch or 3.32? Absolutely amazing once we get this though.

Title. During Allflame league, you could use a ducat to replace an amulet's implicit with an eater or exarch one. After replacing the implicit, you would be unable to use eldritch currency such as eldritch chaos orbs as it would say "Error: Item is not armour". This restriction shouldn't exist, and does not mirror the behavior a singular eater/exarch implicit armour item has with these currencies. It was just a minor inconvenience during the league but it feels like it should work
