Path Of Exile 3.26 Heist: What Is The Best Way To Utilize This Mechanic In The New League?
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!

Path Of Exile 3.25: What To ...
In many guides, it has been said that Lacerate Gladiator build is one of the strongest and most reliable league starters in Path of Exile 3.25. Like Boneshatter Juggernaut, this melee build was already strong enough before the league rework. Lacerate retains the essence of its previous powerful skills, but also increases all of its damage numbers. So, in POE 3.25, it is more powerful than ever before. So how do you make this powerful build when you first try this new league? And how do you upgrade it? This guide will give you the answers. As you explore Path of Exile 3.25, if you have any questions or comments, you are welcome to join the Discord community and discuss game strategies with other players. In addition, iGMeet Discord will occasionally bring you more benefits in this community, so remember to pay attention! Skill Rotation And Tips Compared to many builds that can cause slam, Lacerate Gladiator is very simple and has a low APM value. You don’t have to use multiple buttons in combat, but you still use defense and movement utilities. The fundamental skill you can use in combat is Lacerate, a medium-range melee attack damage skill that allows you to cause bleeds. Besides this, you can use Pride and Vulnerability to weaken the monster’s ability. You can also choose Shield Charge, Molten Shell, Flame Dash, Blood Rage and Enduring Cry for defense and movement. The thing you need to pay attention to here is that you need to always pay attention to the Vulnerability debuff on the enemy. This magic spell may make the cursed enemy take more physical damage and have a bleeding effect when attacked. But you don’t have to worry about Pride, but you can link it with Eternal Blessing. This way, you can offset your retention cost and increase your effectiveness. As long as you can maintain this debuff and keep it practical when necessary, you can use Lacerate without worrying about it. Pros And Cons Although Lacerate Gladiator build is one of the simplest map builds in Path of Exile 3.25, it also has a little disadvantage. The biggest advantage of this build compared to other DoT (Damage over Time) builds is that there is no damage to ramp-up time. This means that you can deal maximum damage to an enemy once you apply a layer of bleeding to them. Compared to DoT builds that require you to wait for several seconds to reach maximum DPS, Lacerate Gladiator build will make you safer and easier to use. But the biggest disadvantage of this build is also accompanied by this advantage - it is too simple. This build does not have a lot of skill options, and in some cases, it can make you feel a little boring and not have enough tools, especially if you plan to use it in the endgame. If you are the kind of player who likes to use endgame gear, you may find this build to be overwhelming because Lacerate Gladiator build only requires three Uniques items. But it also saves you a lot of POE Currency, allowing you to focus more on building upgrades and weapon enhancements. Skills To Use In Early And Mid-game If you want to get from the early game to the mid-game as quickly as possible in this build, you can use Sunder skill. Sunder will help you advance quickly until you can start running maps on your own. In addition, you will need to use Leap Slam, War Banner, and Blood And Sand Stance to get the utility and extra damage of this build. When you can start running maps on your own, you can switch out Sunder for Lacerate of Haemorrhage. This variant of Lacerate gives you higher bleeding damage, and you can use Earthquake, Shield Charge, Bladestorm, and Vulnerability to create a better combat situation. You are ready for the endgame skill setup. Gem Setup In this build, you can use gems to maximize the bleeding damage you deal in combat. Without this setup, your character will be very powerful, but with gems, you will be invincible. Here are the best gems and some effects to choose for Lacerate of Haemorrhage skill. Volatility Supported skills have increased maximum attack damage and decreased minimum attack damage. Awakened Brutality Supported skills have increased physical damage, no chaos damage, no elemental damage, and a chance to shatter enemies on hit. Awakened Melee Physical Damage Supported skills have increased melee physical damage, increased bleeding and poison damage from melee attacks, 10% attack reduced speed, and a chance to intimidate on hit. Awakened Multistrike Supported skills repeat 6 (3+3) times, increased attack speed, reduced attack damage by 20%, and increased damage bonus for the first 3 repeats. Awakened Deadly Disease Supported skills have increased disease damage and reduced damage on hit. If you combine these gems with Lacerate of Haemorrhage, it may reduce some attributes, but it will greatly increase your ailment damage! You can try it in the game. Uniques And Affixes Lacerate Gladiator build doesn’t really need too many unique items to support its late game. But just in case, and to make it fully adaptable to the endgame event of Path of Exile 3.25, you can use the following 3 Uniques: Koam’s Sign x2 Ryslatha’s Coil If you try to get the belt directly with POE Currency, it will probably be very expensive because it is the best slot in almost all disease builds. That’s all about the preparations and precautions you need to make for Lacerate Gladiator build in Path Of Exile 3.25. I hope you can have fun playing in the new league!Jul-28-2024

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. If you are interested in other mechanics in Path of Exile 3.25, why not come to iGMeet Discord to learn from everyone's experience? In addition to learning more about the game here, you will also have the opportunity to earn POE Currency! Come and participate!Aug-02-2024

Exploring the Potent Transc ...
Path of Exile 3.22, also known as the Trial of the Ancestors league, has introduced a slew of new build options, and one that's generating significant buzz is Transcendence. Historically, this keystone has been primarily used in conjunction with the Loreweave unique item to mitigate the maximum resistance penalty affecting characters. However, with the inclusion of tattoos in this league, paired with Chieftain's Valako notable or the Melding of the Flesh unique jewel, there's a new way to address these issues. This article dives deep into the Transcendence keystone, its strengths, weaknesses, and how to leverage tattoos for a powerful build. The Transcendence Keystone: Strengths and Weaknesses Transcendence offers a robust defensive advantage but comes with two substantial drawbacks that have limited its usage in the past. First, it causes armor to cease reducing physical damage while applying to elemental damage. Additionally, it imposes a substantial elemental max resistance penalty, making it challenging to overcome these hurdles. Traditional Approach: Loreweave Traditionally, Transcendence was paired with the Loreweave unique item, which has a hard cap on maximum resistance, effectively mitigating the keystone's drawbacks. However, this approach requires dedicating your body armor slot to Loreweave, leaving you vulnerable to physical damage unless you have exceptional gear. Enter Tattoos: A Game-Changer in 3.22 Path of Exile 3.22 introduces tattoos, which bring new opportunities to the table. The Tattoo of the Ngamahu Makanga, for example, grants +1 to maximum fire resistance. There are similar tattoos for cold and lightning resistance. Additionally, the unique jewel Warrior's Tale doubles the effect of all tattoos within a medium radius, significantly enhancing their potency. Chieftain's Advantage Chieftain, in particular, benefits from these tattoos due to its Valako notable. By investing in specific nodes on the skill tree, you can obtain up to +8 maximum fire resistance, not including other potential sources like Purity of Fire and halo effect scaling. This means you can easily equip Transcendence without relying on Loreweave. With Transcendence and Lightning Coil, you can effectively address both elemental and physical damage threats. Expanding Beyond Chieftain: Melding of the Flesh While Chieftain benefits greatly from these changes, other classes can also take advantage of tattoos. Adding the Melding of the Flesh jewel to another class introduces another -4 maximum elemental resistance challenge. However, this is easily manageable through additional tattooing. For instance, the Tattoo of the Arohongui Makanga offers +1 maximum cold resistance. Items like Brine Crown provide three maximum cold resistances, and you can further boost your resistances through your shield slot or items like Aegis Aurora. The passive tree offers numerous options, and placing your Warrior's Tale in a strategic location can further increase your maximum resistance. Closing Thoughts In summary, the Transcendence keystone in Path of Exile 3.22 has been a potent but limited choice due to its significant drawbacks. However, with the introduction of tattoos and unique jewels, these limitations are easier to overcome. This league offers a chance to create exceptionally tanky characters using Transcendence, and it will be fascinating to see how players leverage this setup to tackle challenging content and withstand formidable boss abilities.Sep-19-2023

Delve Changes in the 3.22 Patch: The 3.22 patch has introduced some item balance changes, particularly affecting delve-exclusive shields. The patch primarily addresses certain modifiers related to maximum elemental resistances. 3. Currency Generation in Delve: Delve offers various opportunities for currency generation. Farming fossils is a prime example, with different biomes yielding different types of fossils. Fossils can be traded for currency, making this a lucrative strategy for wealth accumulation. Selling resonators, particularly in bulk, is another profitable venture. Additionally, defeating bosses like Crystal King can yield valuable amulets and rings that can fetch a good price in the market. 4. Sustaining Sulphite for Delving: Sulphite is essential for delving, and its acquisition requires thoughtful strategies. Setting up the Atlas properly can help players earn more sulphite from maps. Utilizing Atlas passives and Ascendancy skills can further enhance sulphite gain. Running Wandering Path in the Atlas passive tree can result in higher sulphite drops during mapping. 5. Biomes and Cities in Delve: Biomes in delve offer specific loot drops and challenges. Players can target particular biomes to farm specific resources and maximize their gains. Cities in delve contain valuable items and loot chests, making them a rewarding destination for adventurers. 6. Special Item Drop Nodes: Restless Rubbles and other special nodes offer unique item drops: lightning items, contains cold items, fire items, Physical, containing Mana or cursed itemssome of which can be highly valuable or even build-enabling. Players can take advantage of these nodes to acquire rare and powerful items that can be used or traded. 7. Voltaxic Generator Setup and Depth Farming: Managing the Voltaxic Generator is crucial for surviving deep delves. Players should focus on maintaining Darkness Resistance, Light Radius, and Flare Capacity. Balancing these attributes is key to exploring deeper mine levels safely. Starting depth farming at around 150-250 is recommended for evasion-based characters, while characters with more survivability can venture deeper to around 300-350. In conclusion, the Delve Early Farming Guide in PoE 3.22 presents players with a plethora of opportunities to explore, conquer challenges, and amass wealth. Whether you're a newcomer seeking to learn the ropes of delving or a seasoned player looking to optimize your currency generation, these seven tips provide valuable insights to make the most of your delve experience.
