Path Of Exile 3.25: How To Make The Best Starter Builds In Settlers Of Kalguur? - Top 5 For You
Path of Exile 3.25 introduces Settlers of Kalguur league, bringing a novel mechanic that encourages players to explore the map to collect key resources that are essential to growing your settlement. In addition, with adjustments to various Ascendancy classes, certain starting characters will experience a smoother start after this update. We have selected the best starting character builds in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur for you.
In Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur league, character builds that can quickly complete the map to collect new resources tend to be more popular. Although many of the selected builds perform well in a Softcore Trade environment. But in most cases, if you pay more attention to the character’s survivability and tankiness, the performance in Hardcore mode will be similar. Here are some of the best Starter builds for Path of Exile 3.25 League:
- Archmage Frostbolt Ice Nova Hierophant
- Lightning Strike Slayer
- Elemental Hit of the Spectrum Warden
- Bleed Ground Slam
- Zoomancer Necromancer
In Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur League, players need to focus on powerful starting character builds while managing resources, including in-game POE Currency. In addition, if you are looking for more game resources, there is a Giveaway feature in iGMeet discord, which will occasionally release product gift information. Remember to stay active in the discord group.
1. Archmage Frostbolt Ice Nova Hierophant
With the update of Settlers of Kalguur League, many builds have experienced slight enhancements or nerfs because of these adjustments. In particular, Archmage Frostbolt Ice Nova Hierophant has received significant defensive buffs, making this already very strong new character build one of the top choices in POE 3.25.
The core gameplay of this build is to fire frostbolts that quickly spread into a massive Ice Nova AoE effect, which eventually returns to the player and causes continuous frost AoE damage. It is one of the best map clearing builds, and is therefore considered one of the excellent starting character choices in Path of Exile 3.25.
2. Lightning Strike Slayer
With the launch of Path of Exile 3.25, the already very strong Slayer Ascendancy build may become even stronger, thanks to significant buffs to its survivability. One potential advantage of this build in the new league is Strength of Blood passive skill, which significantly increases physical damage mitigation for Slayer.
In terms of gameplay, Lightning Strike Slayer focuses on using melee attacks to release lightning, which will hit targets and chain and bounce around the map. Despite being a melee build, Lightning Strike has surprisingly long range and moves quickly.
3. Elemental Hit Of The Spectrum Warden
While new Ascendant class, Warden, is less well known due to replacing Raider, we can still draw some initial conclusions based on what we’ve seen so far. Warden’s reliance on the use of tinctures and enhanced survivability through bark makes it a natural fit for Elemental Strike League entry build.
This build moves quickly around the map, firing bouncing arrows around the map in a fast and precise manner. This allows you to not only clear the map efficiently, but also focus on defeating bosses with the high attack speed and damage output of your targeted arrows.
4. Bleed Ground Slam Chieftain
This league has shown a heavy preference for melee mechanics, making Bleed Ground Slam Chieftain a strong entry choice into PoE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur League. Bleed builds have traditionally been high risk with potentially high reward, but with all the updates and adjustments, it promises to be one of the strongest choices yet.
With this build, you’ll be able to slam the ground, unleashing a cone of destructive force while applying a powerful bleed effect to all enemies hit. Once you have the right build for Bleed Ground Slam, the cone will cover a massive radius, stretching almost to the edge of your screen and covering nearly 180 degrees in the direction you slam.
5. Zoomancer Necromancer
Summoner builds continue to hold their place in the list of starting builds for League, and this season is no exception. Zoomancer Necromancer build, however, brings an entire kitchen sink of minions to do its building.
The gameplay of Zoomancer Necromancer allows you to command over 70 minions at once, and as the name suggests, can quickly cover enemies with your zoo. As you progress in this build, you’ll eventually be able to tackle the most difficult content in PoE 3.25 with just your summons, without having to intervene in combat yourself.
With a carefully selected starting character build, players can better adapt to the changes in League and further expand their adventures in PoE 3.25.

Path Of Exile 3.26 Early Be ...
With the start of POE 3.26, we are about to embark on a new Challenge League cycle. As always, at the beginning of the league, the first thing we have to do is to farm and reserve enough currency, which is the most important resource in our game process. Here, we will explain to you the first currency farming strategy we have planned in PoE 3.26. This is a proven strategy that can help you earn a considerable amount of currency in the early stages of the league and is suitable for almost all builds. This is because it was designed immediately after we cleared Atlas and obtained the first two Voidstones, which ensures that it not only requires extremely low investment, but also is extremely easy to get started. The core of this strategy is Searing Exarch Atlas, which can drop a lot of valuable currency at the beginning of the league. This strategy works best in the early stages of a league before some of PoE currency depreciates, especially in the first 5-7 days after the league starts, you should be able to harvest an average of 2-4 PoE Divine Orbs per hour, depending on how fast you play. Honestly, this isn’t groundbreaking, but early league currency is hard to come by. Not to mention that this strategy doesn’t require Scarabs, just pure Atlas farming, so you should be able to maintain your map in most situations unless you’re really unlucky. Now let’s take a look! Atlas Tree First, let’s take a look at Atlas Tree, which you only need a few points to build. Here, I think you can give up Essences, because most characters probably can’t handle T16 Essence farming at all, and they really slow you down. But if you’re really good at handling Essences, then keep them. What we mean is that even if you give them up, it’s not a big deal, I don’t count them in my profit. Anyway, you can invest these points into Scarabs or other relevant map drops. Additionally, we utilize Shrines to help our lower-level characters and grab all the added map drop nodes. Then we just need to grab all Quantity & Rarity wheels in the middle, and then all Searing Exarch nodes, including Wrath of the Cosmos. This strategy is simple, you just click on Atlas and Shrines to clear the max monsters as quickly as possible, but you may die occasionally if you encounter very strong monsters on a not-so-good map. But since we usually plan to do this early on, when the characters may not be level 90 yet, you can get a lot of XP from running these maps, and as long as you don’t die too often on a map, you can still level up. Map Runs Let’s move on to which maps to run. Jungle Valley is a natural Tier 11 map, while Mesa is a Tier 10 map, which is connected to Jungle Valley, and when you insert two Voidstones, they both move to T16, which means we can force the type of Atlas we want on the map. When you play a T14+ map, you can choose one of three influence types: Searing Exarch (red button), Eater of Worlds (blue button), and The Maven (middle button). First, we’ll be using Searing Exarch. When you play these maps, once you kill a few groups of enemies, it will trigger an influence. You’ll then see something like minor explosions and Influenced Monster Packs spawn around the map. You can choose these rewards, but they also come with some negative effects that will be applied to your map. Atlas Types Currently, there are three types of Atlas: Boss, Minion, and Player. Boss Atlas only adds bonuses to the boss and will make the boss harder in some way. Player Atlas tends to apply debuffs to the player or increase the damage they take, but it gives you bonuses when you kill monsters. These rewards are very tempting, but I recommend not choosing them early in a league. What we want in this type is Minion Atlas, they give you a chance to get a reward for every Influenced monster you kill on the map, and these are exactly what we want to appear. Normally, they will only appear two of the three random options on Atlas, but we can actually force only two of them to appear by running two specific maps, Jungle Valley and Mesa. How To Run It? Let’s start with Jungle Valley map and see why we chose it. The boss in Jungle Valley map doesn’t actually spawn until you enter his arena, it only spawns in the middle of the fight, so the altar doesn’t register their presence, so all Atlases are Minion/Player Atlases, which gives a higher chance of getting a good effect. You just have to make sure to click on Minion Atlas every time. If the reward is complete garbage, you can even skip that Atlas. As for Mesa map, the boss does start on the map, but he’s always in the center of the arena, and you can just run right there and kill the boss about 10 seconds before any Atlas is triggered, and then you’ve eliminated Boss Atlas spawn again. Then, you either get Minion Atlas again, or Player Atlas again, and then just finish the rest of the map. Minion Atlas So, why go for Minion Atlas? We’ll explain it now. It’s the best way to get a lot of rewards on the map. While the rewards from Boss Atlas can be good, the rewards are onetime, and the rewards from Player Atlas are just too crude. In comparison, while the rewards from Minions are also crude, if you get the good stuff as a reward, you’ll keep dropping it on the map. So the rewards you can expect are some very rare raw Chaos Orbs, Exalted Orbs, and Orbs of Annulment. You may also get Gemcutter’s Prisms, Orbs of Regret, Vaal Orbs, Orbs of Fusing, or Searing Exarch specific currency, which are all valuable in the early leagues. In addition, there is a large number of Lesser, Greater, and Grand Eldritch Embers that can drop early in the league, and even Lesser Ember is worth more than 1 Chaos Orb in the first few days. Divination cards are also common rewards. In my 2 hours or so of playtime, we have received The Taming, Berek’s Respite, and Ryslatha’s Coil. The total value of these Divination cards is far more than 2 Divine Orbs! Not only that, there are also a lot of Scarabs that drop here, which can also be sold in bulk on Exchange, making it even more profitable. All of these drops can be sold on the in-game Currency Exchange. Selling Loot So, now let’s start selling loot! Note that you don’t need to waste time liquidating everything, because you may have some items that are worth less than one-tenth of a Chaos Orb, and it’s not worth the time to sell them, just put them in the stash tab. You can select the items worth selling in the stash tab and then sort them by single item value or bulk item value. As we said before, we can sell these loot directly in the in-game Currency Exchange, almost without interacting with the trade, which means you can keep running the map and selling these loot. Finally, I must remind you that every strategy RNG will play a role, someone may drop very rare items and get dozens of POE Divine Orbs in the first hour, but this certainly does not mean that if you complete the map quickly, you will get such expected currency. However, at least you can earn 2-4 Divines per hour with this strategy, so it is a strategy that everyone can do. All in all, if you’re not the type who wants to blow up T17 map early, or is ready to farm Legions with all the Scarabs and all the investment, then this is a great way to earn money to keep your build going, and then have the ability to run some more difficult strategies to get a little better with this character.Jun-16-2025

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.

Path Of Exile 3.25: Which G ...
When you create a new character in Path of Exile, you are presented with a variety of game modes to choose from. Experienced players will probably be able to quickly decide which mode is best for them. However, if you are new to the game, the options can be a bit confusing. Here is a guide to help you choose the best game mode for you. In this guide, we will explore the two different ways to play in Path of Exile: standard and seasonal modes (called leagues). We will point out the key differences between the two modes to help new players understand which one is best for them. We will also explain what happens to your character when the season ends. Game Mode Options Explained When creating a new character in Path of Exile, you have three different modes to choose from: Standard League Seasonal/Challenge League Hardcore Seasonal/Challenge League It is important to note that Challenge League does not appear as an option, but as a current league. For example, if Settlers of Kalguur is the latest league at the time of this guide, you will see Standard League, Settlers, and Hardcore Settlers in the options. Beyond standard league or challenge leagues, there are additional modes to choose from: Hardcore Ruthless Solo Self-Found When choosing Hardcore, if your character dies, it will revert to standard mode, which is non-hardcore mode. Choosing Ruthless, on the other hand, means that the game will be significantly more difficult, which may slow down your progress. For experienced players, this mode may provide a fresh sense of challenge. However, this mode may not be suitable for beginners who are just starting to play the game, unless you have enough POE Currency to obtain and upgrade equipment so that you can adapt to the difficulty of the game in this mode. You can also pay attention to Giveaway platform in iGMeet discord, which often releases some product giveaway information. You can follow each information release by being active in discord group. As for Solo Self-Found, you cannot trade or team up with other players in this mode. But it is worth mentioning that this choice can be changed after the character is created, so you are not permanently restricted to the initial choice. Description Of Challenge League A seasonal league is a limited-time feature in Path of Exile. They are called ‘Challenge Leagues’ in the game. Only during the league event can you create a new character and experience the special gameplay related to the league. For example, in PoE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur league, players can build and develop the town of kingsmarch. If you choose to play standard league, the town building function mentioned above will not be available. Standard mode consists mainly of the core game content and content added in later updates, and does not include any unique features for a particular season. What To Do After Challenge League Ends? When a season ends, you cannot create new characters in that season. With Settlers of Kalguur mentioned earlier, this means that ‘Settlers’ option will no longer be available. However, this does not mean that your characters from that season will be removed. Instead, they will be transferred to a permanent league with your map progress and all your stored items. When Do Challenge Leagues Usually Start? If you want to restart the game and seek a fresh experience, challenge leagues are a good choice. So how often do these leagues usually take place? For example, the current challenge leagues started on July 26, 2024, while the previous Necropolis league started on March 29, 2024. A challenge league lasts about four months. This roughly marks the length of a season cycle, but seasons do not end without warning. As new seasons get closer, you’ll start seeing announcements about them, which gives you time to prepare. It’s important to note that once a season ends, your character won’t be able to transfer over to the next one, but this also gives you a great opportunity to try out a new class or build. How To Choose Game Mode That Suits You? If you want to experience the latest content, challenge leagues are a brilliant choice. These leagues are where new content is introduced, so joining challenge leagues is the best way to experience the game. It’s also worth noting that since more players tend to play in this mode, you’ll can interact with other players more. Challenge leagues are also a brilliant choice for new players. Starting at the beginning of a league ensures that you don’t fall behind other players in your progress. If you start in standard leagues, you may not run into other players as often, and if you do, they may be much stronger than you. In summary, whether you're a hardcore player or a novice, it's important to understand the characteristics of each mode so that you can have the best experience in the wonderful world of Path of Exile.Aug-06-2024

The Wormblaster Unleashed: ...
For those who relish chaos, crave devastation, and dare to dance on the edge of danger in Path of Exile, Suzu520's Herald of Ice Wormblaster build is a revelation. This unique and audacious build unleashes the power of worms in a symphony of destruction. So, prepare your POE currency and embark on this exhilarating journey into the unknown. Introducing Suzu520's Herald of Ice Wormblaster for POE 3.22 If you've never encountered a worm-based build before, this is your opportunity to delve into the extraordinary world of Suzu520's Herald of Ice Wormblaster. This audacious build defies convention and promises an experience like no other in Path of Exile. How Does It Work? At the heart of this build lies the enigmatic worm. Each flask slot is occupied by a Writhing Jar, a vessel that releases two tiny worms upon use. These worms, though enemies, interact with on-hit and on-kill effects. The secret to this build's success lies in the Mother's Embrace belt, which acts as a nurturing guardian for these wormy minions. Whenever you summon minions, they partake in the essence of all five flasks simultaneously, spawning multiple worms. For example, summoning a single skeleton can lead to the creation of ten worms. With a setup of four skeletons, you can unleash an army of 40 worms. But what's the purpose of this wriggling assembly? Just as a good mother protects her offspring, we detonate them. The Tattoo of Arohongui Warmonger is the key. This tattoo has a chance to shatter slain enemies. By accumulating a sufficient number of these tattoos, you can achieve a 100% chance to shatter on kill. Suzu520 discovered an explosive synergy between these tattoos and the Herald of Ice skill. When active, the Herald of Ice causes Shattered enemies to explode. This means you can create a legion of worms and trigger a chain reaction of 40 explosions by simply stepping on them. Offensive Strategies Ensuring your flasks don't run dry is essential to this build's success. To maintain flask charges, Suzu520 has harnessed the power of the Soul of Ryslatha Pantheon option. It provides three flask charges every three seconds, provided you haven't used a flask recently. The beauty of this strategy is that your minions use the flasks, ensuring charge recovery remains uninterrupted. This build also invests in charge gain by selecting specific passive clusters, such as "2 Flask Charges Gained" and "1 Careful Conservationist." Cluster jewels, like Mender's Wellspring, further enhance charge recovery. As a result, Suzu's build regenerates an impressive 17.5 flask charges every three seconds, enabling a continuous stream of worms. However, the real challenge is scaling damage. Herald of Ice explosions do not benefit from spell damage scaling, requiring creative solutions. Generic Damage, Elemental Damage, and Critical Strikes are your pathways to success. Suzu has identified several unique items that significantly boost the build. The Annihilating Light triples elemental damage at the cost of resistances, a trade-off well worth it for the damage increase. Calamitous Visions, a unique jewel providing the Lone Messenger keystone, contributes a substantial 100% damage boost to the Herald of Ice. While this prevents the use of other Heralds, it's a minimal sacrifice. The Heatshiver helm allows the use of cold damage to deal fire damage, adding an extra layer of scaling. To maximize cold damage, the Cold Mastery debuff is utilized. It causes enemies you shatter to spread Frost, increasing the cold damage they receive. The Bonechill Support further elevates the cold damage by enhancing the debuff. In tandem with a well-structured curse setup, your damage output reaches formidable levels. The Complex World of Critical Strikes This is where the build becomes pricier and more complex. Suzu employs three Voices jewels, allowing for extensive customization of the passive tree. The build focuses on Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, which grants critical strike chance to Heralds. These costly clusters also provide an opportunity to enhance your area of effect, which would otherwise be limited. Notably, Herald of Ice does not expand further as its gem levels increase. The piece de resistance of this intricate structure is a unique jewel known as "Impossible Escape." It enables the allocation of passives in the vicinity of a particular keystone without the need for direct pathing. In this case, Suzu incorporates the Elegant Hubris timeless jewel, which dramatically alters the nearby passive nodes. Elegant Hubris transforms these notables into a 10% generic damage boost per frenzy charge or power charge. By acquiring all these notables, the build achieves a colossal damage increase, approximately 440% more damage. Furthermore, Pain Attunement is converted into Supreme Ostentation, which allows the disregard of attribute requirements on gear. To maximize this, small passive allocations are directed toward tattoos instead of attributes. A Fragile Yet Potent Defense In this audacious build, your most robust defense is to shed your fear. Fear is the mind-killer, the little-death that leads to obliteration. The key to surviving lies in releasing fear and allowing it to pass through you. A portal, linked to Cast on Death, is your final safeguard. Suzu520 has crafted a meme glass cannon build, renowned for its immense power and minimal survivability. As Suzu humorously states, "With great power comes no survivability." However, the immense damage output is undeniable. With skilled evasion and dodging, it's entirely possible to defeat Uber Bosses with nothing but your army of worms and your tactical wit. In the world of Path of Exile, Suzu520's Herald of Ice Wormblaster build is a testament to the creative and daring spirit of the player community. While it may not be the most conventional approach, it certainly offers a thrilling and unique gameplay experience.Oct-17-2023
