Path of Exile Dev Tracker

In any online game with an economy, in-game items have value. These items are often sold on external real-money trading sites, and we’re doing what we can to stop these affecting Path of Exile. We're attacking their spam and the way that they get items to sell.

Unfortunately, one of the ways these shops obtain items is by stealing them from other Path of Exile players. We have received several reports of people losing items, and we can see from our logs that these end up on accounts (generally accessed by Chinese IPs) that are used to supply RMT item sites.

After several days of painstakingly investigating these cases, we've identified quite a few ways that players are having their passwords stolen. I'd like to go through them one by one and explain how players can keep themselves safe and what we can do on our end to make these attacks more difficult.

I should stress that these problems are common to most online games and that they're problems that p... Read more

Real Money/External Trading



Buying and selling items or accounts for real money or external currencies (such as Forum Gold) is not allowed and we will ban people who attempt to engage in it in-game or on the pathofexile.com forums.



The following things are examples of behaviour that could get you banned under this rule:

• Posting a trade thread where you ask for things other than Path of Exile items in exchange for your gear.


• Offering people money or external currencies in exchange for their Path of Exile items or accounts.


• Advertising external item sales sites. It's best to avoid mentioning them by name.


• Running a service where you sell items or accounts to people for things other than Path of Exile items.

A quick question. Do the prizes get wiped at open beta start?

When we enter Open Beta later this year, all items will be wiped apart from "Demigod's Presence (Unique Amulet)".

Hi, wondering about the race times. Can we hope for some euro-friendly races come open beta? The races so far have begun between midnight and 3am for eastern europe.

This weekend has a Euro-friendly cutthroat race. Is that time okay with you?

To see your points in the current season (and its prizes), go to this page.



You are also able to view your season and events history on your profile page, under the Seasons & Events section.



Race leagues are special short duration events that we run periodically to let players play in a clean economy and compete for prizes.



The league will generally be open for character creation 30 minutes before the start of the competition. To enter, just make a new character in the league described in its appropriate thread. New characters must be created in the correct league to be eligible for pr... Read more

You might find the answer to that in the mechanics thread linked in the FAQ and elsewhere on the forums. Skill gems in your shield do no transfer to your minions via Necromantic Aegis although that would be rather awesome wouldn't it(hint hint hint GGG Devs!)?

This is not the case. You minions do not have your passives, and are not affected by them. They ... Read more

Fixed Thorny and Essence, but the sword is actually Dopplehander, not doppelganger.

Quest Complete vs. Quest Completed? Both seem perfectly good to me. I'll just leave it as it is.

Looks like embroided is a common misspelling of embroidered, i.e. something which was made with embroidery. Will change.

Have fixed the "make", and a quick googling shows that Embroided is a word - Though the name is temporary, and may change in future.
