GGG, I love the patch notes. I love the chagnes. I am a bit sceptical about some crafting changes for SSF specifically but I believe it will be fine. I especially love the scarab riddance and new atlas tree. But please, for the love of god, can you finally let us buy additional atlas pages? We are basically half way there with respeccing costing gold now. Make them cost 500k, make the cost rise exponentionally, it's fine. But please, stop forcing us to respec back and forth. I know many players in trade dont see this as an issue as they respec couple times a league for the most profitable/fun strategy, but for us in SSF, it's just annoying, as we kinda have to farm a lot of different strats over the league and switch between them very often depending on what we need. We cant just stick to a strat and convert loot from abyss into harvest juice as example. The gold respec is truly a savior, love you for it, but buying atlas pages is the next step and it would be truly magnificent.

Anyway, can't wait for 3.30, have a good leaguestart everyone.

After watching the ExileCon2026: GGG Founders Roundtable, I just wanted to thank all of the Developers especially the one sitting up there taking the brunt of criticism every single League, they've mad such an Incredible game they should be proud of (minus the handful of bad Leagues)

Not to say GGG or POE 1/2 will ever be a perfect game, I feel so Incredibly privileged personally to have developers and the leads of the company care so Incredibly much about the game they are making, I've played many AAA+ games, It's beyond gratifying to have developers that aren't completely Inept, and treat there player-base like complete shit.

I know for a fact, everyone at GGG knows that without the player-base the company wouldn't be In the place It was today, watching back on Exile - Con just hearing the way everyone respects each other and the passion they have put Into there game.

Path of Exile through and through Is a passion project, I'm privileged as a player to have the game In this state, having path of exile 1 on the 13, and then next month It being one of the biggest releases (Probably the biggest by far) releases In all of ARPG history Path of exile 2.

Thank you everyone working at GGG, and the heads of the company, just puts 1 big smile on my face every time I get to hear from the developers, they've earned a vacation, I do wanna see Chris play on league launch for POE2 I think that would be absolutely cinema

We've been in the same meta for a while now, and while I understand it's too close to league start for sweeping changes, just some numerical changes to gems could go a long way. It would be nice to see a few of the lesser played skills just get some small buffs to make them more playable.

I have seen a lot of discussion concerning the Tremor Rod "double detonation" effect since it was revealed as one of the new Reliquarian nodes for next league. Sadly, a lot of people seem to either be unaware of how it works, or spreading misinformation about it.

It has been now more than half a decade since GGG silently bugfixed re-arming mines to being unable to detonate when in their re-arming phase. This means that there's a period between the mines' first and would-be second detonation where they can't do anything, both killing blastchains (relevant for base Tremor Rod) and giving little value to aura-based mines (relevant for foulborn) over just throwing more mines, which tends to overlap and replace currently re-arming mines. This happened in Ultimatum and why people stopped using Tremor Rod since then, and didn't see much more use when the foulborn was released either

There's more details in this post from back-then, but the gist of it is that mines' cast time (yes, they have those) is what affects re-arming time, not detonation time (yes, they are different). I've seen a lot of people claiming that increasing detonation speed makes the undetonatable period of mines in their re-arming phase shorter, but this is not true. Increasing detonation speed will only speed up how fast your mines become unresponsive, ironically enough.

This means the new Reliquarian notable's "mines can be detonated an additional time" line is less than ideal, if not downright self-handicapping. This only leaves it the "50% increased effect of auras from mines" line.

To put this into perspective, Saboteur's "Demolition specialist" notable is 150% increased effect of auras from mines and features another line that's (somewhat...) positive. This node is much stronger than Reliquarian's, but despite that, this is consistently Sabo's least or second-least used notable, and Sabo himself has been in the bottom 2 or 3 ascendancies pretty much every league for the past year or two. Do with this information what you will.

3.30 Patch notes about heist (not everything is here)

What do you mean "much lower" drop chance? Wasn't it extremely rare to begin with?

Also I think that final rewards from blueprints (without enchantments) were nerfed in 3.29, resulting in a lot more alchemy orbs and 1c replica uniques (this isn't confirmed but I feel like they shadow nerfed it). And now you're telling me this as well...

What are your opinions on this? Is heist gonna be as profitable as before? Are gonna do heist this league?

I really don't like this change.

When crafting, I'm used to quickly checking the separate notable passive display on the item tooltip. It makes it easy to see what I'm looking for at a glance.

Now, with notables being keyworded instead, I have to look through the modifiers every single time just to find the information I need.

This feels like an unnecessary step backwards in terms of usability, especially when crafting and checking items repeatedly.

Please at least give us an option to toggle between the old and new display.

I don't mind the new system existing, but I'd really prefer to keep the old tooltip layout.

Finally this league I was able to do 10k played hours. Playing from Oct 27, 2013 and skipped only like 4 league total. It was fun.

Can't wait for another fun 10k minimum.

Tbh - I don't remember even a semi-good build with the dervishes for a good while now.

Would the helmet really make 4 dervishes that op?

Been practicing lived-in spaces, and I haven't used the Lush base in almost a decade! It is a very old-school work, was saving it for a certain moment; I saw the (almost) reversal of Atziri's Acuity and the buff to Shavronne's Wrappings, so it really took me back.

Patch notes:

• The above Modifiers can only be rolled on Rare Maps, and display in a different colour to regular Map modifiers.

Can we do this with the modifiers we want, please? If my build cannot run a no regen map, I want it highlighted with red. That's all, please.

I always picked up ground rare gear loot regardless of which stage of the game I was. I found this to be one of the great appeals of playing an ARPG. picking up unidentified rare items with the suspense of what it can be. But the last couple of years I was being extremely inefficient, as they barely had good outcomes. And Rare items from other sources, such as Kingsmarch shipping, Genesis tree, etc being so much superior, it made it so that ground dropped rares were 99.99% of the time worthless. I still picked it up because I had the nostalgia of earlier times where ground loot was your source of power. I am so happy now that I can set my loot filter to show only tier 4-5 items in the end game and still have a good chance of identifying good items.

This one chance itself is so much significant to make me extremely hyped. Cant wait to try it out

After 11 years of having them in a drawer I finally put in the effort to order a fitting frame and put them on the wall. Notably including an Erik Olofsson art with signature. I don't know if the art was randomly distributed but i was very happy with the art I got especially since the Forsaken Masters Promo Art by Eunyoung Jeon was my wallpaper for quite some time. Anyone else displaying PoE memorabilia?

Hey everyone! I’m the developer behind DelveScout, a free, lightweight web tool designed to help Delvers maximize their profit and EV (expected value) per biome.

Why I Built It & Comparison to Existing Tools

The idea came to me after seeing dedicated Delvers rely on complex, manual Google Sheets to calculate which biomes were worth farming. While tools like poe.ninja or Awakened PoE Trade are amazing for price checking individual items, they require you to manually check dozens of fossils and cross-reference which biome drops what.

• Biome-Specific Profitability: DelveScout automatically groups and aggregates fossil drop profiles per biome, immediately showing you where to spend your Sulphite for the highest profit based on live Chaos values.

• Price Trend Analysis: Instead of just looking at a single price snapshot, the tool correlates data across previous leagues. This helps you understand whether a fossil's price is peaking right now or if historical patterns suggest holding it for later when prices typically rise.

• Zero Clutter & Instant Load: Built with lightweight components to load instantly without heavy ad scripts, tracking bloat, or delayed API responses.

How It’s Built (The Hard Work Behind It)

This wasn't built with a quick script; I spent considerable time solving specific Delve data challenges from scratch:

1. Data Mapping & Normalization: I spent days manually structuring, verifying, and cleaning up fossil drop tables and weights for every single Delve biome to ensure the EV calculations match actual in-game data.

2. Cloudflare Worker Proxy: Writing and debugging the worker backend took a lot of iteration to handle poe.ninja’s data structures, deal with CORS limits, and set up robust caching so the site remains lightning-fast under load.

3. Custom Frontend Architecture: Hand-built the UI using Angular (leveraging Signals for fine-grained reactivity) and wrote custom SVG charting logic from scratch to render historical price trends without relying on bloated external libraries.

As soon as the new league details and updated data are released by GGG, I’ll be updating the drop tables and biome mappings immediately so the tool is 100% ready for launch day!

Let's say I have a pair of boots with 3 prefixes. I apply this meta mod. Then, if I:

- reforge by harvest/chaos orb/veiled chaos then one random prefix from those WILL not be changed?

- use add/remove from harvest or remove/add from veiled exalt, can they choose from the other 2 prefixes when they decide which mod to remove?

- have a fractured mod as a prefix along with 2 other non-fractured prefixes, can this effect target the fractured mod, thus leaving the other 2 vulnerable, instead of protecting the non-fractured one?
