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!
