Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for version 2.3.0 released by Grinding Gear Games.[1]

The Prophecy Challenge Leagues

Challenge leagues are a great opportunity for a fresh start in a new economy. All your old characters and items are still present in the Standard and Hardcore leagues, but you're encouraged to join the new leagues, complete challenges and demonstrate your mastery of Path of Exile!

  • With 2.3.0, there are Standard and Hardcore variations of the Prophecy challenge league available. They have the same core mechanics and items.
  • In the Prophecy leagues, you'll encounter Navali, a Karui Soothsayer, in each town you visit.
  • Approximately one monster per area drops a Module Error: More than one result found for item using search term "item_name = Silver Coin". Try using the page parameter instead. Navali will exchange one coin for a vision of your future. This Prophecy, along with up to six others, is stored in your Prophecy screen.
  • These Prophecies influence the future of what happens to your character. Some can change areas to generate different encounters or to force various outcomes to occur. Others trigger when a condition occurs and change the result.
  • It's possible for Navali to Seal Prophecies into items for an additional cost of silver. These can then be stored for later or traded with other players.
  • For more information about Prophecy, check out www.pathofexile.com/prophecy
  • Nine of the new Unique Items in this update are exclusive to the Prophecy challenge leagues. They are all rewards for completing specific Prophecy chains or objectives.
  • There are also more than a dozen upgraded (Fated) versions of existing Uniques that can be earned by completing specific Prophecies.
  • More Prophecies and Fated Uniques will be enabled throughout the league's duration.
  • The new challenge leagues include a set of 40 new challenges. When you complete 12 challenges, you receive the Prophecy Footprints EffectProphecy Footprints EffectFootprintsAdds prophecy footprints to any equipped pair of boots.. At 24, you receive the Prophecy Weapon EffectProphecy Weapon EffectWeapon EffectAdds the Prophecy effect to any equipped weapon. When you complete your 36th challenge, you receive Navali's Monkey PetNavali's Monkey PetPetSummons your pet, Yama the White. These microtransactions are only obtainable in this league.
  • From the 19th challenge onwards and for every third challenge after that, you receive pieces of a Prophecy Totem Pole decoration to display in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Prophecy challenges you completed during the league.

The Endgame Labyrinth

  • There are six new Trials of Ascendancy that can be found in non-unique maps. These trials are more complex and random than the ones in the regular game. Completing a Trial rewards you with an Offering to the Goddess item.
  • Once you have completed all six Trials, you are able to use your Offering to the Goddess items in a Map Device to access the Endgame Labyrinth. These items are not technically maps, so you cannot use Sacrifice Fragments or ChiselsCartographer's ChiselStack Size: 20Improves the quality of a mapRight click this item then left click a map to apply it. Has greater effect on lower-rarity maps. The maximum quality is 20%. on them.
  • The Endgame Trials and Labyrinth include a new trap type - Sentinel Traps: These traps apply one of many effects to an area and can be temporarily deactivated by dealing damage to them.
  • Upon completing the Endgame Labyrinth for the first time, you're rewarded with two additional Ascendancy points, raising the total available to eight.
  • Each time you complete the Endgame Labyrinth, you may enchant one item with a fourth-tier item enchantment. For more information about this system, please see the 2.2.0 patch notes.

Technical Improvements

  • We've replaced Path of Exile's audio engine. The new one not only dramatically helps with memory usage but provides many other benefits that our audio engineers will take advantage of in the future.
  • If you were previously playing with sound disabled for performance reasons, please strongly consider turning it back on again!
  • We've made substantial improvements to when and how various assets are preloaded. There should be much less stuttering that occurs when certain assets appear. For example, Rogue Exiles inside strongboxes are preloaded as they are rolled.
  • Game assets are now loaded in the background as you play, making loading screens faster. You can now load to the login screen in less than a second on an SSD drive (two seconds on a non-SSD hard drive).
  • Because of the memory usage improvements in 2.3.0, there should be no more Out of Memory crashes. This is especially relevant to 32-bit Windows users.

New Features

  • In maps, the count of monsters remaining is now shown when you press tab to see map information.
  • The most recent global or trade channel that you manually joined is now remembered and used by default.
  • You now cannot delete characters from disabled leagues, other than The Void. This is to protect against people deleting characters before the race prize awarder for that league has finished.
  • Rewards in stash tabs are now available instantly. You don't have to log in again to see them.
  • When you hover over a socketed Support Gem, it now shows what Skill Gems it affects by making them glow. The same is true for Skill Gems showing what Support Gems affect them. This currently does not properly handle the case of Support Gems that change a Skill Gem so that it enables or disables other Support Gems.
  • There are now icons to the right of quests in the quest tracker. Clicking these icons opens the World screen with the appropriate quest selected.
  • The tutorials have been improved in subtle ways.

Other New Content

  • Added 32 new Unique Items. Many of these have been designed by our supporters. This total includes Prophecy-specific and Labyrinth-specific ones.

    and replaced some that had been resubmitted. Changes to chaos damage conversion do not affect already submitted Grandmasters, even though it is retroactive in other cases.
  • Oyun now has a white tiger.
  • Continued to incrementally improve the sound, art, effects and environments.

Labyrinth Improvements

  • Progress through the Trials of Ascendancy is now shared between all your characters in the league.

  • The Lord's Labyrinth in all difficulties has been upgraded with a new gauntlet type where you push an object through the encounter.
  • There have been countless improvements to rooms and puzzles throughout the Labyrinths.
  • Emperor Izaro has been made easier on Cruel Difficulty. See the monster balance section below for more information.
  • Environmental traps in the labyrinth now calculate a player's life differently for determining damage. This was previously the total of a player's maximum life and Energy Shield. Now Energy Shield counts as 60% of its value for this purpose. Only Energy Shield covering life is counted. This was determined to be the best ratio applicable to the wide variety of Energy Shield based builds that exist.

  • Chests in Labyrinth secret areas now drop substantially more items.

Enchantments

  • Weapons that can roll both caster and attack mods have been changed in how they determine their mods. When these items only have caster or attack mods, they are less likely to get mods of the other type. This also affects the items on creation, so they are more likely to have only caster, or only attack mods. This has a subtle effect but will improve the average weapon of this type.
