A year ago we released a set of five different Core Supporter Packs, inspired by the themes of Path of Exile. In a couple of weeks we're planning to replace these Supporter Packs with new ones, so you don't have much time left to purchase one of the current Core Packs if you want one before they leave the store forever!

Please note that while we're trying our best to release the new Supporter Packs shortly after the launch of Conquerors of the Atlas expansion, there is still a possibility that they will require more work and testing and might be delayed until the beginning of next year. These new 'core' supporter packs will exist alongside the current Metamorph packs (and future league packs).

Each Core supporter pack contains points to spend in the store and exclusive in-game microtransactions which are only available in supporter packs and will not appear in the store. There are also physical items available, like a pack of signed Path of Exile prints, a Path... Read more

This December we're teaming up with community streamer Zizaran to host a huge boss kill event where Path of Exile's best players can compete to kill the hardest boss in Conquerors of the Atlas while playing in Hardcore, Solo Self-found mode. Alongside the US$30,000 cash that Zizaran will award to winners, we have provided $23,750 of some of Path of Exile's best microtransactions.


How to Participate

This event runs for the first month of the Conquerors of the Atlas release (which starts on December 13, US time). Only characters played in the Metamorph HC SSF league will be counted for prizes, as the purpose of the event is to provide the hardest challenge that Path of Exile's best players have ever encountered.

In Conquerors of the Atlas, you can place Watchstones in Citadels on the Atlas. These level ... Read more

Alongside the new Skills and Supports we’ve talked about recently, we're also reworking three bow skills, including Explosive Arrow, Shrapnel Shot and Burning Arrow, and making a number of mechanical and balance adjustments to other skills.

Reworks
Explosive Arrow
Previously, Explosive Arrow could have up to 5 arrows in a target, refreshing the duration each time an arrow hit the target. Now, there is no limit to the number of Explosive Arrows in a target, and the duration can't be refreshed. This lets you keep firing into an enemy, and you'll have regular explosions rather than having to halt firing to wait for detonations. The radius of the explosion is now +2 larger per arrow on the target, up to a maximum of +10 at level 1, up to +19 at gem level 20.

The skill no longer deals Secondary damage with its explosion, which greatly limited support and passive options as many specific damage modifiers wouldn't apply. Now, each arrow's explosion will... Read more

In Conquerors of the Atlas, we've rebalanced many campaign bosses in order to make them more challenging. We've also added new skills to some of the bosses and improved their existing skills as well. You'll be able to check out these changes in a couple of weeks! In the meantime, have a look at today's preview of some of the fights.

Blight was a slightly divisive league, but not nearly as much as Synthesis or Bestiary, which were consequently not integrated into the core game in the form they were initially released in. After a lot of internal discussion, we have decided to integrate Blight into the core game on PC with the release of 3.9.0. For now, Blight won't be added to Core Path of Exile on console platforms due to some performance problems we need to solve. Our plan is to fix these problems and to integrate it.

Blight will not be present during the main storyline campaign. Once you reach Maps, Blight encounters will spawn in 10% of map areas you enter. Every encounter will drop at least one Oil or Blighted Map. The chance of Blighted Maps dropping has been significantly increased compared to their previous drop rate.

Despite the fact that Blight encounters now guarantee an Oil or Blighted Map drop, Oils are inherently going to be more rare than they were before because you're encoun... Read more

We're proud to introduce the Metamorph Supporter Packs! There are two pairs of Supporter Packs with exclusive cosmetic microtransactions, such as Armour Sets, Weapon Effects, Character Effects, Wings and more!

There are two pairs of packs available with many exclusive microtransactions: the Sanctum and Damnation packs. Each of the two pairs has different contents, so you can choose whichever one (or both) you prefer. You can upgrade from the cheaper one in a pair to the more expensive one later.

The Sanctum and the Grand Sanctum Supporter Packs

The Sanctum Supporter Pack contains a Weapon Effect, Wings, a Portrait Frame, a Supporter Forum Title and 250 points.

As part of our targeted improvements to Bows in 3.9.0, we're introducing three new Support Gems that work with Bow skills: Arrow Nova Support, Greater Volley Support and Barrage Support.

Arrow Nova Support

The Arrow Nova support turns a forward firing arrow skill into an upward firing payload arrow, which lands at a targeted location. When the arrow hits the ground, it bursts into a nova of the skill's projectiles. This support is available at level 8 for the Ranger, opening up interesting new ways to spread your arrow effects over an area.

Ground targeted projectiles like Caustic Arrow, Vaal Burning Arrow and Tornado Shot will explode a fixed distance from the Nova location, creating a wide damage area if they don't explode on a closer target first. For Caustic Arrow, this lets you spread caustic ground over a very large area with ease.

Greater Volley Support

Knowledgeable players will know that the Greater Volley Support alre... Read more
