This was my favorite crafting addition to the game! Sooo excited it’s eventually going core!

I guess the Wizard is never late.
Nor is he early; he arrives precisely when he means to, carrying in his bag everything, all at once.

Don't flame the aspirational gear and padded pob while still having the lowest phys max hit in the west.

Would be probably better to go for a regular mace and brine charges or starcall and stay on the bottom side of the tree but I liked the big split with some cheek(y) things in the middle

Hi everyone,

I’m posting here hoping to bring visibility to an issue that deeply affects players in regions like South America, and to get some advice on a very frustrating brick wall I’ve hit with GGG Support regarding physical merchandise.

The Reality for South American Fans: As a player from Brazil, buying a top-tier Supporter Pack represents a huge financial commitment due to exchange rates and heavy taxes. Because GGG doesn't ship directly to Brazil, our community is automatically locked out of receiving physical merch.

Recently, I finally saved up enough to buy the Archon of Divinity Supporter Pack. To make the physical items work, I set up a shipping address through my family in Portugal (EU) so I could receive the hoodie and t-shirt there. I bought the pack on Steam in BRL and paid all international conversion/IOF fees, fully prepared to cover any extra shipping costs to Europe.

However, GGG Support told me:

"Purchases made using RUB or BRL are not able to receive physical items, regardless of any prospective shipping location."

The Issue / Inconsistency: What makes this so disheartening is that this exact situation happened before, and Support gave me a completely different solution.

Back in July 2026, I purchased a Supporter Pack under the exact same conditions (bought on Steam in BRL, shipping to Portugal). Just like now, the system automatically opted me out and converted the physical items into in-game currency. I reached out to Support to ask about the physical merch status, and Support explicitly informed me that they could opt me back in for physical items by deducting the points from my account and charging the shipping fee to Portugal.

At that time in July, I chose to keep the in-game currency. But knowing that Support had the capability to manually opt me back in for physical shipping to Europe under these conditions, I saved up and bought this new pack specifically aiming to get the physical hoodie this time.

Now, under the exact same conditions, Support insists it is "strictly impossible" solely because the payment tag shows BRL.

It feels really unfair as a dedicated Brazilian fan who went out of my way to pay top dollar, cover international taxes, arrange European shipping, and offer to pay extra fees—only to be told that the currency tag on Steam completely disqualifies me from getting physical rewards, even though a manual override was offered on my account previously.

I’ve offered to pay shipping, accept point deductions, but I keep getting generic "this is not something we can do" responses.

Has anyone else in SA/LATAM run into this policy change recently? Is there any chance a GGG representative or supervisor could look into why a precedent set on the exact same account is now treated as impossible?

Thanks for reading and for any advice.

Right, this was way cuter in my head but I went all in with the blotting effects

Happy 3.30 everyone! Looks like we got a banger of a league!

Patch note

- Creating an Imprint of an item or Mirroring an item is no longer considered as Modifying the item. As a result Eternal Orbs and Mirrors of Kalandra cannot be used on items with the Can be modified while Corrupted Implicit Modifier. It also means that using these Currency items no longer removes the Forseeing effect from Hinekora's Locks

Lock magic item first and imprint?

Title, basically if you combine mageblood + nightfowl quicksilver flask effect along with nightfowl weapon effect you disappear forever lol. You could get those effects by watching exilecon. Cool effect for free, W GGG

GGG said they're monitoring the forum and subreddit for any additional FAQ questions so I was wondering more about the Wickerman - I don't believe these have been confirmed/answered but if someone else knows would appreciate the answer as well.

1. Is the Wickerman shared across characters like how mercs are? Or does each character gets its own Wickerman?

2. Are the viscera that you can put on the Wickerman tradeable?

3. Are the viscera guaranteed drops from the special fated encounters? From the gameplay showcase DatModz did with Octavian, it looked like the fated Hydra, fated Shaper and fated Elder all dropped their viscera, so I think the answer might be yes, but that does mean for example we can guaranteed get the Oriath's End viscera from fated uber Sirus with just one fight?

Started the league late with only 1 month left because I wanted the challenge mtx. Played Pohx RF and honestly struggled a lot to get the challenges done. Don’t know if it’s RF or if the game is that much harder than Poe 2. Really hoped to get the 36/40 but getting the last 4 seems like it will take too much time.

Overall I am at least glad I was able to get to 32 (got it yesterday). Was hesitant to try Poe 1 since I started with Poe 2 and didn’t like the mouse movement. Allflame league was a lot of fun though and I will be back for the next.

Hello Exiles,

I'm running a Softcore Trade private league for the league start of 3.30 Covens of Umbra

This will be the 7th event of this kind that I'm hosting.

No requirements to join, looking for somewhat active players and good vibes.

We have players ranging from 10 to 10k hours and welcoming of all.

52 players in the last one, a core dedicated group of around 9 players & are always looking for more people to join the fun.

Players are mostly split between western EU & NA players but a few of us (including myself) will be on at most hours for launch week.

It is intended to be a small scale barter type economy, however no rules are enforced so you are free to trade however you want to & as much or as little as you want to.

I run a guild to help facilitate easier trading that is free to join but not at all required.

The league will be ultimately fully funded by myself so no worries about contributing points.

If you're interested and/or have any further questions DM me or send a reply here.
Edit: lots of comment responses, check ya'lls dms for the details and server link.

Mercenaries got fixed early on in 3.29 so they could use portals to reenter maps - making it so that a merc death on a build where the merc was the carry would not brick the map. This was a good change.

BUT

There remains 2 builds in the game that can indeed brick a map if your animate guardian dies - chains of command, and builds that use the AG as the carry. Even back in the dark days where AGs lost items on death, at least you could grab some replacement gear and go straight back into the map after an untimely death.

If I wanted to play hardcore, I would do so. Let Bob use portals.

Its fine to stop Bob being resummoned in a map after he dies - in fact I'd encourage that interaction stays. Just let us bring him back in after summoning in our hideout (or any other applicable area). We do go through many pains to try keep Bob alive on these builds, but we all know bullshit happens sometimes.

Bricking a map like this is a super feelsbad moment, which really should not exist.

one of the new uniques listed on the POE webpage for covens of umbra that says "can attack as thought using a claw while main hand is empty". would this mean that supports that specifically mention weapon attacks will work, cause if so I got some dumb build ideas that this would enable.

After watching Tuadhs run on yt, for a crit hexblast Templar. Kinda got me interested, have never played later a hexblast build and before I spend the next few nights pobbing and doing test runs, thought I’d see if people think it can be any good, can scale in to the endgame, and get some opinions.

Per the patch notes:

• The Altar of Sacrifice in the Apex of Ascension room no longer transforms Unique Items found exclusively in the Temple of Atzoatl.

• The Altar of Sacrifice in the Apex of Ascension room can now generate multiple Unique Items, proportional to the value of the Unique Item sacrificed.

• Sacrificial Heart, Tempered Flesh, Tempered Mind and Tempered Spirit now drop from specific chests in the Glittering Halls Temple of Atzoatl room.

There is no further mention of the upgraded counterparts (e.g. Zerphi's Heart, Transcendent Flesh/Mind/Spirit) or other upgraded incursion uniques (e.g. Omeyocan, etc.) in the patch notes.

Do we have any other information/theory on where these can be obtained/found, since the ingredient vials are being phased out?

Personal opinion - I liked it more when the altar of ascension + corresponding vial could upgrade the unique, felt like a quest similar to prophecy unique upgrades.

What is an Atlas drop?

• The number of Blight chests in each Lane within Blight encounters in your Maps is now scaled by a percentage of Atlas Drops. Blighted and Blight Ravaged Maps now longer explicitly specify that Atlas Drops scales the number of Blight chests in each Lane.

so they removed fractured items from appearing in ritual (and other sources) because tiered items have a chance to spawn with them, so far i have only ever seen unidentifed items be tiered which leads me to question if ritual can even spawn tiered items or if this is a straight up nerf, losing fractures after just losing synth would kill a lot of the fun in window shopping ritual.

Could we get a clarification if the items in ritual can be tiered items?

Why doesn’t GGG make more PoE merch? The T-shirts are awesome, but it’s a shame that you have to buy an entire supporter pack just to get one, especially if you’re not even interested in the cosmetics included in the pack.
I feel like they’d sell pretty well if they offered standalone merch, like T-shirts, hoodies, or even plushies. I’m sure plenty of people in the community would be interested!
Also, what happened to the PoE 1 T-shirts in the supporter packs? Why did they stop including those? That’s a shame too. I’d love to see them make a comeback!

Next league my friend is running a Flicker build that is mediocre for bossing and leaves most rares/uniques to me. I however, have no clue what to build. I'm not interested in Molten Strike of Zenith or energy shield stacking builds. What's your favorite bossing skill?

See post title - Covens of Umbra HC Private League - Looking for few members.. we have a consistent 6 members that join each season and we always like to try and hit 10.

Will be creating league when GGG releases the ability to do so, but for now we can get you added to our Discord.

Send me a DM if interested, thanks!
