In today's news post, we're taking a look at all microtransactions from Path of Exile's beginning to see which microtransactions in each category have sold the most and discussing the various factors that contribute to this.

Before we begin, it's worth noting that all microtransactions featured below are ordered by quantity purchased rather than how much they contribute to overall sales.

Let's start with Armour Sets. Released in 2015, the Infernal Armour Set became an absolute hit amongst the community, holding the top position even five years later. Interestingly enough, while only two out of the ten armour packs in this list can be considered as relatively new, both represent the most popular microtransaction themes, Celestial and Stygian. It's also worth noting that these stats skew towards older microtransactions simply because there's been a longer amount of time to purchase them. More recently released microtransactions are at a disadvantage for appearing in the... Read more

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. Do you know if the Xbox version has a good amount of players on it compared to the PC version?

There are more on PC but there's definitely an active and ongoing console community to be part of.

Totally unrelated to the comment chain above, but is there any chance of us getting a HH/Flashback league like tencent is getting now? They're so much fun and we haven't had anything like this lately, and everyone is bored and in quarantine. Would be nice to have a for-fun league to waste some time in.

Ah, I have commented on this in the past but it's probably good to reiterate. Because of the disruption the lockdown has caused for development, we're putting all of our focus on the next league's expansion and won't have the bandwidth to also prepare an extra end of league event. I suspect we would otherwise have been keen to run one for Delirium.

Console patches typically trail PC patches by a few days but remain up to date.

When working on a new league, finding a way to integrate its story into Path of Exile's existing lore is always a challenge. Nick, one of our narrative designers, has written an article to give you a behind the scenes look at the "Day Zero" rule they keep in mind when introducing a new story into the current lore.

Who remembers Talisman League? While not one of the most popular leagues, Talisman was a turning point in Path of Exile's league design philosophy. Prior to Talisman, Standard and Hardcore each got a separate league mechanic, with the mechanic designed to be a layer that sits on top of Path of Exile's core gameplay. There was a time when a league could just be some new monster mods!

But Talisman changed that. It introduced a new set of items, a progression, an endgame boss, and a story. After Talisman, every league was to feature these things.
