Path Of Exile 3.25: Get An Early Preview Of Settlers Of Kalguur League Info To Get A Head Start!
Attention to news in advance, get content updates, and get a better gaming experience
Time has passed a little boring. It has been four months since the release of Path of Exile: Necropolis. I believe most players are tired of waiting, and player retention for Necropolis has dropped much faster than expected.
It has been four months, and it is time to release the next new league launch of POE. It is exciting that the developer Grinding Gear Games has revealed that the name of the new league is Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur. Let’s take a look at Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur launches below.
The trailer released is only 25 seconds long. The only information we can get from the trailer released by Grinding Gear Games is that Faustus came to Rogue Harbor to welcome a very charismatic captain. Apart from this, we can’t get any more information.
Date
But don’t worry, as usual. Developer Grinding Gear Games will hold a live broadcast one week before the release of the new league, which is July 18th, 1 PM PDT.
In a live broadcast, we can learn about the new content of the expansion pack and the league in detail, including the balance or QOL changes that appear in the update and POE Currency that can be obtained after the update. Mark Roberts of Grinding Gear Games and ZiggyD will be on the scene to answer some questions from the audience.
According to the current information, we can get some reservation effects such as Heralds and Auras. It is still preserved after death. This can reduce some boring links, such as not having to spend time reapplying all Heralds and Auras after resurrection.
To some extent, this improvement avoids some more trivial troubles, and we can spend time on more worthwhile parts of the game. At the same time, there may be people like you and me who forget to apply Heralds and Auras and die because of it. Overall, QOL changes are very beneficial to players.
New League Mechanic
I believe that most players are looking forward to what mechanic of this new league are like me. We can speculate based on the information in the trailer. First, we can see Faustus, and then we can see a fence that already exists in Rogue Harbor in the current version.
These are an important part of Heist league mechanic. Faustus exists to act as a supplier, allowing players to exchange Heist Targets for Rogue’s Markers. In the trailer, we can also see that the background just after Faustus boarded the ship is a settlement under development, which seems to have sheep and buildings similar to windmills.
New Settlement
We can boldly speculate that the development of the new settlement reminds me of Wraeclest, and we can be responsible for developing new land. In the trailer, we can also see a sea area. Can we dive into the seabed or fish in the sea?
Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur launches on July 26th for Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Players can already expect some game balance changes, new League mechanic and rewards, and some system improvements. We can keep an eye on it.

Path Of Exile 3.26 Heist: W ...
After nearly ten months of waiting, Path of Exile will finally launch a new league on June 13 this year! According to the regular schedule, 3.26 league should have been launched around October last year, but the development of POE 2 obviously delayed this process. In fact, until the first trailer of 3.26 Secrets of the Atlas, there were still opinions in the game community that the launch of the new league might be postponed indefinitely, but fortunately this situation is finally coming to an end. However, it is precisely because 3.26 came too late that you may have almost forgotten how to utilize those unique mechanics in the first game. Based on this, we will utilize heist as an example to introduce you to how to earn POE currency as soon as possible in the 3.26 patch. What Is Heist? First of all, you need to review how heist works - after all, there seems to be no similar gameplay in POE 2. The heist in POE is in Rogue Harbor. To enter here, you need to collect Rogue’s Marker by completing daily tasks, and then click it in your backpack to travel to Rogue Harbor. Each heist requires you to sign a contract and cooperate with up to one rogue, who must have reached a certain level of his job. Find Adiyah, the Wayfinder in Rogue Harbor and deliver the heist contract and other required materials to her to reach to the official heist location. The rogues that can be recruited and their jobs are: Karst, the Lockpick: Lock-picking, Perception, Agility Tibbs, the Giant: Brute force, Demolition Isla, the Engineer: Engineering, Trap disarmament Tullina, the Catburglar: Agility, Lock picking, Trap disarmament Niles, the Interrogator: Counter-thaumaturgy, Deception Nenet, the Scout: Perception, Counter-thaumaturgy Vinderi, the Dismantler: Demolition, Trap disarmament, Engineering Gianna, the Master of Disguise: Deception, Counter-thaumaturgy, Perception Huck, the Soldier: Lock-picking, Brute force, Demolition, Engineering After a successful heist, in addition to the regular monetary rewards, you may get most types of game items as dropped loot. If you defeat a specific boss in the process, you may also get rare gear or jewels. 3.26 Best Heist Plan For The League Although the heist offers a wide variety of rewards, it is still mainly based on currency. Therefore, if you want to utilize this mechanism to accumulate currency as soon as possible after the launch of Secrets of the Atlas, it is important to first choose the right rogue. Based on the different jobs, each rogue has different perks and functions. To accumulate enough currency in the early stages of the league, it is recommended that you choose Vinderi, Gianna, and Tullina. The bonuses they bring are as follows: Vinderi: Increases the chance of Heist chests copying their contents by 6-14%, and increases alert level by 14-30% Gianna: Reduces Blueprint revealing consumption by 10-30%, discovers a blueprint reveal upon completion of a heist contract mission Tullina: Increases your chance of finding additional heist targets in secret reward rooms by 10-26%, and reduces alert level by 6-14% These three rogues can maximize the blueprints and reveal you get, and then you can view as many unlockable rooms as possible by uploading blueprints to ensure that the rooms that can bring you more rewards are unlocked first. Or after 3.26 is launched, you can farm specific rooms according to your character’s situation. Generally speaking, it is best to prioritize currency and divination cards in the early stages of the league, and go straight to the ultimate reward room in the later stages. Specific Operation Process After understanding the basic information, the first step is to determine the rogue you want to recruit, as well as the plan and blueprint. Then enter Rogue Harbor to start grabbing heists and enter the rooms you find to search for rewards according to the contracts you need to execute. When you find and decide to take the currency treasure chest and divination card treasure chest, don’t rush, pay attention to the escape route in the room (indicated by a small ladder), you need to open it before reaching the last room to leave in time. If you are running grand heists, you will come to Curio Display after reaching the end, which has many additional high-value rewards, including POE Divine Orbs, one of the available currencies. It is worth noting that if your character dies in battle during the heist, you will lose all the contraband you picked up, so be sure to treat every battle carefully. When you and your rogue complete all the tasks, you can return to Rogue Harbor through the escape route to settle the loot. In addition, when 3.26 league is launched, if you enter the middle and late stages and think that your character can stably complete each heist, you can find Whakano, the Barber, one of the support NPCs, before starting the heist and exchange more demolition contracts with him. This type of contract has a high probability of giving you an extra random chest when the loot is settled, and opening the chest will get at least one Chaos Orb. So you can definitely accumulate extra currency in the early stages of 3.26 league in this way. To be honest, this classic mechanism combines resource farming, fun and strategy very well, which is probably why it has been preserved since it was launched. Maybe POE 2 should also try to develop a similar mechanism. The above is our plan for effective heist in the upcoming POE 3.26. I hope it will be helpful to you!May-26-2025

Path Of Exile 3.25: How To ...
In Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur, players have gained a new way to obtain items and currency in the game easily, which is through shipping. Shipping allows you to exchange the resources you collect for currency and items. You just need to load the resources and crew onto the ship and then wait for the ship to return in real time with a full load of rewards in tow. However, every shipping comes with a certain risk, and if you don’t want to lose your crew and rewards, you must learn to manage these risks. This guide will break down the shipping mechanics in Settlers of Kalguur for you step by step, so that you don’t panic in the game. Shipments When you start to form your own settlement, you will have access to a dock with your own ships and crew. Each ship you send out is loaded with a cargo, a bunch of resources you want to trade. After the ship successfully returns, each of these resources will be exchanged for common rewards in the game, such as POE Currency, Uniques, Scarabs, etc. The type of reward you receive depends on the type of resources you ship and the port you’re shipping to. When you upgrade a port, you gain access to up to three ships that can make multiple voyages at once to increase your returns. This system is a great way to earn some passive rewards without having to farm, but rewards players who take the time to build up the town of Kingsmarch. Resources As part of Settlers of Kalguur, the townsfolk of Kingsmarch will generate trade resources, which you can then ship to other ports. Shipment Value The amount and quality of the rewards you receive from your shipments depends on Shipment Value of all of them. So, the rarer the resource, the better the reward. The value of each shipment depends not only on each resource but also on the destination. So be sure to keep these in mind when sending out your shipments. Dust While the resources you ship affect the value of a ship’s cargo, adding a resource called Thaumaturgic Dust will also multiply the value of that cargo, and the more dust you add to that cargo, the higher the multiplier. You can think of it as a buff item. The stats that are currently known are as follows. The value is multiplied by 1.5 when Dust is 10. When Dust is 55, the value is multiplied by 2. When Dust is 520, the value is multiplied by 2.5. When Dust is 8150, the value is multiplied by 3. Rewards Based On Traded Resources By trading specific resources, you will receive specific rewards. Each resource is associated with an item type, as follows: Crimson Iron - Armor Orichalcum - Weapons Petrified Amber - Jewlery Bismuth - Skill Gems Food - Currency Crew To start a shipment, you need to equip your ship with a Crew. When you deliver a batch of resources to a different port, your Crew will reduce the risk meter by a certain amount based on its trait level. Higher-level workers will allow you to deliver high-value cargo at a time with little or even zero risk. Crew that dies because of risk may be permanently killed, which is why you must plan carefully when choosing which crew to send. Risks In the game, as in real life, no voyage is smooth shipping, as you may encounter bad weather, pirates, or deep-sea creatures at sea. As the value of your cargo increases, the risk meter for that cargo will fill up. This meter represents the percentage chance that something will go wrong with your cargo, and the higher the percentage, the more serious the consequences if something goes wrong. Some risks can kill your crew or lose their cargo outright, so make sure to keep the risk low while balancing the ship’s rewards. Pirates If your ship is commandeered by a pirate captain, then your ship and crew will be taken hostage. When this happens, you have three options. You can try to save your crew by fighting the captain. If you defeat them, they will drop their boss loot when they rescue your crew from the pirates. Note that you only have one chance to defeat the captain, so if you die, the cargo is lost forever. Second, you can pay a ransom to the bandit. If you pay the ransom, you get your cargo and crew back, but you don’t get any loot from fighting the boss. If you can’t pay the ransom or fight the boss, you can always abandon your crew and cut your losses there. This can be a bit ruthless, but you must remember that protecting yourself is the most important thing. Likewise, this can also happen within the town of Kingsmarch, as the likelihood of being attacked by pirates increases as the town grows. Just like the pirates encountered at the cargo transport, they will also take your town workers hostage, with the same options listed above. Ports Each shipment is sent to a specific port for trading. Each port has different types of rewards that they send back every time you ship a shipment. As your port level in Kingsmarch increases, you will gain access to various ports where you can trade. Distance Each port has a distance from Kingsmarch, which determines how long it will take to ship to that port. As the shipping distance increases, the longer you will have to wait in real time before you can receive your reward. Port Quotas While you can trade different resources with ports, remember that in order to claim your reward, you must provide a certain amount of resources to the port to reach its quota before you can receive your reward. In particular, some Refined resources, such as Bars, will take up 5 times the original resource required. So if your quota for Hematite is 500, 50 Hematite Ingots will fill up your quota faster than 500 Ore. You can complete your quota with multiple shipments, but only shipments that complete your quota will earn you the extra rewards. Make sure to meet your quota at each port to fully optimize the rewards you receive when your shipment returns. Currently Available Port Areas Kalguur Karui That’s all you need to know about Shipping Mechanic in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur. I hope you can have fun with this new patch and build your Kingsmarch into a prosperous commercial town soon.

Unlocking the Magic Find Pa ...
In the dynamic world of Path of Exile, a fusion of tankiness and magic find attributes in a single build is a rare sight. Players often opt for a multitude of defensive layers or prioritize magic find, seldom balancing the two. However, a unique build has emerged, promising both resilience and efficient magic find capabilities, and we're here to guide you through this innovative playstyle. High Movement Speed: The Key to Success The foundation of this build revolves around exceptional movement speed, an invaluable trait in Path of Exile. The current iteration of this build boasts an astonishing 250% movement speed. This feat is achieved through a series of strategic choices. In the 3.22 update, the introduction of tattoos added a new dimension to character customization. This build harnesses the power of 20 tattoos to significantly boost movement speed, giving you an edge in your adventures. Choosing the Pathfinder Ascendancy Selecting the right Ascendancy class is crucial, and for this build, the Pathfinder is the ideal choice. The Pathfinder's inherent ability to enhance the effectiveness of Quicksilver Flasks significantly impacts movement speed. With this ascendancy, you gain an impressive 111% movement speed. Furthermore, the Phasing on kill mechanic provides an additional 10% movement speed when the Pathfinder is active. For even more speed, the Haste Aura adds a whopping 21% movement speed to your character. The combination of these effects results in an overall movement speed increase of over 250%, making your character a blur of motion on the battlefield. Quantity & Rarity: The Magic Find Foundation A successful magic find build relies on quantity and rarity bonuses. This build incorporates two high-quality unique rings, Ventor's Gamble, known for their maximum item quantity and rarity attributes. These rings are paired with health bonuses to ensure your character's survivability. An indispensable flask for magic find enthusiasts, the Divination Distillate, remains active consistently thanks to the Pathfinder's unique capabilities. The only drawback is the need to manually activate the flask every 5 seconds. However, the build still manages to achieve a remarkable 58% item quantity and 135% item rarity, which significantly enhances your loot drops. Clear Skill for Swift Annihilation In Path of Exile, speed and quantity are futile without adequate damage output. The build's damage capabilities are maximized through gear and gem enhancements. It all begins with a Divine Orb, a small yet significant investment that yields great results. The build is designed around two active skill gems, each serving a specific purpose. Caustic Arrow is the go-to skill for clearing maps. When fired with a bow, it leaves a trail of Caustic Ground where the projectile lands, dealing additional Chaos damage over time. To further enhance this skill's efficiency, the Arrow Nova Support gem is added. This combination significantly boosts your clearing speed, ensuring swift annihilation of foes. Single Target Domination For single target damage, Toxic Rain takes center stage. When unleashed, it spawns Spore Pods at the projectile's point of impact. Over time, these pods deal chaos damage in an area, potentially overlapping for increased damage output. Optimizing single target damage is possible with a slightly higher budget, which allows you to hit a specific threshold of increased area of effect. This optimization ensures maximum pod overlap. The choice of Bow Mastery on the passive tree contributes to this aspect, combined with a glove craft at the Crafting Bench to provide an additional 39% area effect increase. Additionally, the use of Withering Step in the build is essential. Upgrading to the Anomalous version of Withering Step adds two extra Withers and increases quality with Enhance Support. Activating this skill creates nine layers of Wither overlays with a single button press. This not only boosts your damage but also applies more stacks through Toxic Rain. Building a Solid Defense The build is not solely focused on damage output; it also prioritizes defense. A substantial portion of physical damage, about 88%, is converted into elemental damage. Lightning Coil alone accounts for 50% of this conversion, with Taste of Hate's maximum scroll rate contributing an additional 24% as flask effect nodes are allocated in the skill tree. A 14% increase in conversion rates is achieved through helmet upgrades. This extensive conversion of damage into elemental damage permits the use of elemental damage reduction flasks. These flasks substantially reduce damage when transitioning from physical to elemental damage. Additionally, the Grace Aura is employed to bolster evasion, providing protection against monster attacks and projectiles. The build's utilization of Ancestral Vision grants cold and freeze immunity and includes a modifier that reduces the chance of experiencing elemental ailments by 50%. An additional 60% ailment avoidance adds further protection against shocks and ignites during map exploration. Key Items and Equipment Selection Certain essential items are pivotal for this build's success: 1. Bow: Aim for a bow with +1 to socketed bow gems and increased Chaos Damage over Time. Craft it with +2 to socketed support gems and Chaos Damage over Time. 2. Quiver: A quiver should increase normal damage over time and provide bonuses to bow and life damage. Consider a Penetrating Arrow Quiver for enhanced damage output. 3. Amulet: Aim for an amulet that boosts all Chaos skill gems with +1 to Damage over Time. 4. Unique Items: The build utilizes Lightning Coil for significant physical damage reduction. Ventor's Gamble rings are essential due to their high quantity and item rarity attributes. Mastering the Pathfinder Ascendancy The Pathfinder Ascendancy is the optimal choice for this build. In the initial labyrinth, Nature 's Reprisal is selected to empower Toxic Rain. This choice substantially changes the skill's early performance, enhancing its effectiveness. The second labyrinth involves the selection of Nature's Adrenaline, which assists in generating massive Flask Charges. Finally, in the third labyrinth, Nature's Boon is chosen. This ensures that the Magic Find Flask remains active at all times when the character is at full life, thanks to the Master Surgeon mechanic. In conclusion, this Magic Find Pathfinder build provides a comprehensive guide to creating a powerful and cost-effective character. With this build, players can tackle high-level maps and challenging content while optimizing their Magic Find capabilities. If you're seeking a versatile and efficient Magic Find build, this guide equips you with the knowledge and strategies needed to excel in Path of Exile's ever-evolving world.Oct-17-2023
