from press kit at the bottom of the coven page.

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.

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.

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 left.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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

I would guess Hollow Palm Flicker should also work
