Alongside Path of Exile: Crucible, we're introducing a few new types of microtransactions. One of these is Mannequins, which are hideout decorations that you can place to show off sets of microtransactions you have assembled.
On the weekend of July 29-30 New Zealand time, we're going to be hosting ExileCon 2023 in Auckland, New Zealand. We'll be revealing our latest updates on Path of Exile 2, Path of Exile Mobile and the next Path of Exile 1 expansion. We'll be streaming the entire event for free.
Like we've done in the past, we're hosting a boss kill event at the start of the Crucible challenge league! It'll be held in Ruthless Hardcore Solo Self-found, and will require you to kill both the Uber Searing Exarch and the Uber Eater of Worlds.
We have some small improvements to Ruthless in Path of Exile: Crucible. Eternal Orbs will now be able to drop in Ruthless, albeit extremely rarely. Also, Ruthless now has its own set of challenges!
This expansion also introduces more than ten new unique items. There are three in particular we'd like to show you today.
We're introducing a total of nine new Vaal Skill gems in the Crucible expansion. Along with Vaal Reap, Vaal Arctic Armour, Vaal Absolution, and Vaal Lightning Arrow, there are also Vaal Animate Weapon, Vaal Domination, Vaal Ice Shot, Vaal Rejuvenation Totem and Vaal Firestorm.
Vaal Lightning Arrow Fires a barrage of piercing projectiles that cause lightning to strike nearby targets whenever they hit an enemy. After a short amount of time or when they collide with terrain, the arrows randomly change direction and continue flying.
Vaal Absolution upgrades one of your Sentinels of Absolution into an apparition of Innocence. You can only have one apparition at once, but it can unleash widespread destruction with massive AoE skills.
Another new Vaal Skill Gem is Vaal Arctic Armour, which instantly encases you in ice. This prevents non-instant actions, including movement, but grants massive damage reduction against hits. Because it's instant, it's a great emergency button against dangerous boss slams!
New in Crucible is Vaal Reap, which conjures a ring of scythes that deal damage to all enemies in a circular area, leaving behind a pool of damaging blood. It grants a large number of the blood charges used by normal Reap, as well as temporarily higher maximum blood charges.
The Pathfinder has also been revamped, allowing you to specialise in Concoction skills, or turn your other skills into Concoction-like abilities.
The Saboteur Ascendancy Class has been significantly reworked in Path of Exile: Crucible. Check it out!
In order to grant greater access to certain types of Masteries and allow greater investment in various mechanics, we've added several passive skill clusters to the skill tree . For example, we've added an attack cluster by the Templar, and one between the Ranger and Shadow.
Many Masteries on Path of Exile's Passive Skill Tree have been adjusted in the Crucible expansion. For example, some of the new Life Mastery options provide the ability to manipulate your low life and full life thresholds.
Abyss is also being revamped. Abyssal Depths now always contain an Abyssal Lich. While the rate of encountering Abyssal Liches is unchanged, Abyssal Depths are rarer than before. Check out more details in the patch notes!
In Path of Exile: Crucible, we're revamping Breach. Check out the changes to Breachstones, Breach encounters, and a bunch of other Breach content in the patch notes!
In Path of Exile: Crucible, you'll learn about the ancient titans who once shaped the primordial surface of Wraeclast. If you're powerful enough, you will earn the ability to forge their power onto your weapons.
