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.
