Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for version 3.8.0 released by Grinding Gear Games.[1]

The Blight Challenge League

  • Challenge leagues are a great opportunity for a fresh start in a new economy. All of 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!
  • In the Blight League, strange fungal growths have begun appearing across Wraeclast, infecting those who come in contact with them, and wresting control of their minds. Sister Cassia, a new NPC, is trying to put a stop to this spreading infection, but she needs your help.
  • Cassia can build towers that spit flames, call down lightning strikes, chill enemies to the bone, and more, at your discretion. You'll need these powerful towers to push back the waves of mind-controlled monsters that lurch towards the fungal core. Successfully hold back the monsters, and you'll be rewarded with a wealth of items.
  • Among the loot dropped by the Blight, you'll find Oils, a new type of item. With two Oils, Cassia can Anoint rings with powerful tower-boosting effects. With three, she can Anoint your amulet with one of the Notable Passives from the Passive Skill Tree, opening up incredibly powerful new build possibilities!
  • Later on, you may discover Blighted Maps -- Maps so deeply infected by the Blight that all the ordinary monsters have fallen under its sway. These endgame Blight encounters will put your tactical tower-building skills to the test.
  • With 3.8.0, there are Standard, Hardcore and Solo Self-Found variations of the Blight challenge league available. They have the same core mechanics and items. You can create private league versions of these leagues, with mods that make the game harder.
  • The new challenge leagues include a set of 40 new challenges. When you complete 12 challenges, you will receive the Blight Helmet. When you reach 24 challenges, you will receive the Blight Portal effect. At 36 challenge completed you'll receive the Blight Wings. These microtransactions are only obtainable in this league.
  • From the 19th challenge onwards and for every third challenge after that, you will receive pieces of the Blight Totem Pole decoration to display in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Blight challenges you completed during the league.

Atlas Mission Changes

  • The way daily Atlas Missions are handled has been reworked.
  • Once you have unlocked the Atlas, you will now earn one Atlas Missions for each Master per day. These are not assigned to a specific map, but are assigned to a specific map tier-colour (white, yellow or red). You must log into your account to receive these missions.
  • These missions are accumulated and tracked on the right side of the Atlas panel.
  • More Missions can be earned by completing maps. Each time you complete a map (typically by killing the map boss), you'll have a chance to earn an Atlas Mission. The chance to earn Missions this way has been significantly raised.
  • You'll encounter random Masters in maps less frequently, with this chance moved to the map-completion mechanic.
  • To use accumulated Atlas Missions, simply talk to the associated Master in your Hideout, select the Atlas Mission option, and place the map you wish to do the mission on in the Map Device screen that opens up. You can add a Zana map modifier from this screen if you wish.
  • There's no limit to the number of Atlas Missions that can accumulate, so there's no pressure to run the missions as you get them. Run them at your own pace!
  • Your Atlas Missions are now tracked on the quest tracker as soon as you enter the map.

Legion Mechanics Added to the Core Game

With the Legion league being so well-received, we've added Legion to the core game. You can now encounter Legion in the following ways:

  • As a new possible Incursion room, with each tier increasing the potential value of the Legion encounter in the eventual Temple of Atzoatl.
  • As a rare Delve encounter.
  • As a random encounter within the Atlas (10% chance in each Map).
  • In addition to the above ways of encountering Legion monoliths, you can now find Legion uniques in chests that award league-restricted items.
  • Vagan now awards various Legion-related items in Betrayal Safehouses. In Transportation Safehouses he awards Legion Splinters. In Research he awards Incubators. In Intervention he awards Legion Scarabs. In Fortification he awards a set of chests that can be found in Legion encounters.
  • Unique items that can be found exclusively from Legion encounters as of 3.7.0 can still only be found from Legion encounters and the related reward sources above.

Changes to Legion Mechanics

We've made the following balance changes to accomodate Legion in the core game:

  • Item rewards within the Domain of Timeless Conflict now diminish over time. Experience does not change.
  • Item reward variance from Domain of Timeless Conflict encounters of differing numbers of Emblems has been flattened. You'll now receive approximately the same quantity of items per Emblem used in 2-Emblem encounters as in 5-Emblem encounters.
  • Time-frozen Legion monsters who are afflicted by a proliferating Ignite, and similar lingering effects, will no longer remove that Ignite upon being broken out.
  • A wider variety of rewards can now be found in some Incubators.

Summoner Rebalance

  • We've done a sweeping balance pass of everything related to traditional summoner gameplay, and in most cases, provided substantial buffs or added new features to help summoners keep up with other playstyles. While many of these changes touch upon specific items or skills, there were a few broad changes.
  • Many sources of additional maximum minions have been moved to the skill gem, making summoners less reliant on specific unique items. Most minion gems now grant additional minions as the gem levels up.
  • All minions have received substantial increases to their base accuracy, and are much more likely to hit monsters.
  • We've added and improved many minion passive skills on the passive skill tree.
  • We've also added many new skills to help summoners control and manage their minion army (see above!).
  • There have been many, many more changes to unique and rare items, essences, skills and supports with summoners in mind. You'll find those changes outlined in their various sections below.

Mine Rebalance

  • In this patch, we've reworked Mines from the ground-up (pun only slightly intended). The goal of this rework was to make them feel less clunky to use while still keeping them mechanically distinct from Traps.
  • Mines are now thrown, rather than placed. Modifiers that previously affected your mine placement speed now instead affect your mine throwing speed.
  • The first mine you detonate will detonate instantly.
  • When detonating multiple mines, they are detonated in an accelerating sequence based on distance from your initial detonation target.
  • All mine skills, except those supported by Blastchain Mine Support, now have an aura component that is active while they are placed but not detonated. These auras can stack (up to a limit), and are affected by aura modifiers.
  • Each mine you throw now reserves a flat amount of mana based on the cost of the skill (and therefore affected by Support gems).
  • Fire Nova Mine, Freeze Mine, Remote Mine Support and Minefield Support have all been significantly reworked. Their changes are outlined in the Skill Gem Reworks and Support Gem Reworks sections.
  • We've added and rebalanced sections of the passive skill tree to support the new Mine gameplay.

Mana Rebalance

  • We have taken a broad look at the state of Mana in Path of Exile, and rebalanced a lot of elements, with the goal of closing the gap between characters with a little investment in Mana and characters that are almost singularly invested in Mana.
  • We've also removed (from temporary leagues, at least) the last vestiges of Mana leech available to spellcasters. We want Mana to be the caster equivalent of Accuracy -- something for which a little investment goes a long way to solving the 'feel' of your character.
  • We've rebalanced Mana Flasks game-wide, provided more and greater sources of mana on many items, and rebalanced many sources of increased mana on the passive tree. Check the various sections below to see what has changed!

Character Balance

  • Sources of "Non-Ailment Damage over Time Multiplier" of all damage types have been replaced by Damage over Time Multipliers that also affect damage from Ailments. This has resulted in changes to some values on items and the passive skill tree, which have been outlined in their respective sections below.
  • Added a new type of modifier which grants additional levels to all gems of certain types, as opposed to only gems socketed within specific items. If you have one such source (in a weapon, for example), then all gems that fit the type, regardless of where they are socketed (such as in your body armour), will benefit. These modifiers are primarily found on caster and summoner items, and several unique items (which are outlined farther down).
  • You can now have up to 15 mines active at once by default (from 5).
  • All instances of Mine Laying Speed are now Mine Throwing Speed.

Crafting Changes

  • Added a new Fire Damage over Time Multiplier crafting option, which is unlocked when the Cold Damage over Time Multiplier is unlocked.
  • Veiled Flask modifiers now only need to be Unveiled once to be crafted.
  • Immortal Syndicate-member-specific recipes now require half as many Unveilings to be unlocked.
  • Crafted Trap and Mine Throwing Speed modifiers now grant higher values, and have separate versions for Two-Handed weapons with even higher values still.
  • The mana cost reduction crafted modifier (AKA "Elreon's") has been split into two separate modifiers -- one for Channeling skill mana costs, and one for non-Channeling skill mana costs. Each has three ranks.
  • You can no longer craft a mana cost reducing modifier onto an Incursion mana cost reduction ring.
  • The Hybrid Life and Mana crafted modifiers have been split into flat Life and Mana Regeneration, and flat Mana and Life Regeneration modifiers.
  • Re-added the flat Energy Shield crafted modifiers for Rings and Amulets that mysteriously vanished.

World Changes

  • Labyrinth Traps now deal 90% less bleeding damage to Minions.

Monster Changes

  • Monster accuracy rating has been reduced game-wide. Players who invest in Evasion will, as a result, be evading monsters at approximately pre-3.7.0 rates.
  • Normal monsters that spawn as part of a Rare monster's pack are now classified as minions of that monster, and gain one of the Rare monster's non-nemesis, non-aura modifiers. They also have a special visual effect to distinguish them, will deal more damage, have more life, and grant more experience when slain.
  • Piety's Fire Form now has greater attack range. Made small improvements to Piety's AI during the Lunaris Temple encounter.
  • Monsters which use Molten Strike now create the projectiles whether they hit a target with the main attack or not.

Incursion Changes

  • Rebalanced the life regeneration Temple-wide modifier with respect to monsters of magic and rare rarity.
  • As mentioned above, you can now encounter Legion-themed rooms in the Temple of Atzoatl.
  • Reduced the life of Vaal Advocates and Enhanced Vaal Fallens by 25%
  • You can now find items that affect Mines from the Trap rooms of the Temple of Atzoatl.

Betrayal Changes

  • The state of your Betrayal board is now shared across all characters on the same account and in the same league.
  • Upon completing the Mastermind encounter, you'll now have access to a reward room for every single Immortal Syndicate member currently with a job on your board (including prisoners). That's essentially up to 14 rooms worth of rewards, plus the Mastermind themselves.
  • Added a Stash to the Mastermind's Safehouse reward area because, well, you're going to need it.
  • Mastermind Intelligence no longer decays.
  • Upon defeating the Mastermind, the Betrayal board state is reset to a similar number of members and relationships as the starting state. However, Safehouse Intelligence is no longer reset upon defeating the Mastermind.
  • Safehouses now have 100% increased Experience from monsters, and the Mastermind's Safehouse now has 200% increased Experience from monsters.
  • You now always have the option to 'Release' Syndicate members.
  • Each encounter is now tracked on the Quest Tracker on the right side of the screen.
  • You'll now encounter far fewer 'empty' encounters based on your Betrayal board state.

Azurite Mine and Sulphite Changes

  • Your Voltaxic Sulphite is now shared across all characters on the same account and in the same league. There is still a hard upper limit of 65000 Sulphite. Characters that are merged to Standard at the end of a league will bring their Sulphite with them, up to whatever your highest maximum Sulphite limit is.
  • The tunnel Niko digs for you based on your character level is now also shared league-wide across all your characters, meaning your highest-level character will determine the depth of Niko's tunnel for all characters. This tunnel will only ever, at most, be 6 levels behind your highest-level character until you reach level 68. Previously, it was 15 levels behind by the time you reach level 68.
  • The rate of level growth for monsters within the Azurite Mine is now faster, requiring significantly fewer depths to hit the maximum monster levels within the Mine. This was because most players progressed through the Atlas faster than the Mine, and the two difficulty levels would quickly become out of sync.
  • As a result of the change to the depth-to-level ratio, the cost of Delves in those interim levels has been increased, but tapers back to the original costs as you get deeper.
  • Dynamite is now Instant (ie. can be used while moving).
  • As mentioned above, you can now find Legion encounters and rewards in the Azurite Mine.

Prophecy Changes

  • Prophecies which can create Tempests in areas can no longer trigger in the Shaper's Realm or during the most difficult version of the Elder encounter.

Map Changes

  • The Atlas of Worlds has been shuffled. Most maps have changed tier and location within the Atlas.
  • If you're lucky, Zana will now offer 5 new unique maps as part of her missions. Each map contains a boss encounter originally from the Synthesis league, and each can drop unique items originally exclusive to that league. Note, you cannot obtain Fractured items, nor will you have any access to the Synthesiser.
  • You'll now appear in your Hideout (rather than Town) if you die to the Elder or one of its Guardians.
  • The Beast of the Pits (Barrows mapBarrows MapMap Level: 79
    Map Tier: 12
    Guild Character: n

    boss) now moves more quickly during its charge attack, but can use the attack less frequently. Its base attack speed has been reduced, and its damage increased.
  • Piety boss encounters in which she transforms into her Fire Form have also benefitted from increased attack range and AI tweaks.
  • Breachlords now have more appropriate life values for their higher-level variants (such as those from Pure Breachstones). Chayula in particular has significantly higher life in special versions of his Breach Domain (such as the Pure version).
  • Breach Domains now have higher monster density, and the monsters contained within have more base life. The map modifier which granted more life to these monsters has been removed. The rate at which monsters are revealed has been sped up, and you'll have more time at the start of the encounter.
  • The bosses of the Lair and Dark Forest maps will now spend more time in their Human form between transformations into Wolf form.
  • Defeated Syndicate members, Shrines, hidden monsters such as Devourers and other things will no longer lure out Shaper phantoms.

PvP Changes

  • The formula for calculating damage in PvP has changed. It is now: ((Damage/(Time*90))^0.57)*90*Time for Physical and Chaos damage, and ((Damage/(Time*150))^0.55)*150*Time for Elemental damage. The net result of this change is that low damage hits will see virtually no change, while extremely high damage hits will see a reduction of about 30%.

  • Infernal Legion Support now has a Time override of 15 seconds for the burning damage it deals.
  • Minefield Support now causes supported skills to deal 50% less damage in PvP (from 15% less).

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where projectiles would not appear to chain on the game client if the monster was slain by the hit.
  • Fixed a bug where destroying a wall in the Azurite Mine would count towards encounter completion for the sake of the Delve depth ladder.
  • Fixed a bug where Immortal Syndicate members could claim to have the job of "None" when you are selecting between actions.
  • Fixed a bug where some unique Strongboxes would override the Sextant modifier which caused Strongbox monsters to drop significantly more items.
  • Fixed a bug where Elemental Hit attacks which did not hit a target would still produce an explosion.
  • Fixed a bug where Daresso's combo attack was only dealing damage with the first swing.
  • Fixed a bug where Shield Crabs were only hitting with their double-claw attack once, rather than twice (two claws = double the danger (and double the flavour)).
  • Fixed a bug where animation cancelling could cause some skills to appear to fire in the wrong direction.
  • Fixed a bug where the unique body armour The Rat Cage could act incorrectly with other sources that converted incoming damage.
  • Fixed a bug where auras which affected nearby enemies would not update in time for skills which teleported you (such as Flicker Strike) to affect them.
  • Fixed a bug which allowed you to teleport into and out of the Mesa Map boss arena.
  • Fixed a bug which caused the incorrect Life values of summoned skeletons from gem levels 3 and up to show.
  • Fixed a bug where queued actions would misbehave if you held move-only during the first action.
  • Fixed a bug where the Illusionist body armour cosmetic would cause your shadow to vanish, as well as several bad visual interactions between it and other effects. These were not the illusions we sought.
  • Fixed a bug where the Celestial Winter Orb cosmetic effect didn't produce wind physics. Technically, there's no air in space, so was this really a bug? Yes. Yes it was.
  • Fixed a bug where you couldn't use the hotkey to close the Delve map if you weren't the owner of that instance.
  • Fixed a bug where the Monolith Aura effect would interact with wind physics.
  • Fixed a bug which caused the Sin Sword and Sin Longsword cosmetics to appear darker than intended.
  • Fixed a bug where the Wild and Wild Gold portal effects didn't play audio when using the Map Device.
  • Fixed a case of desync caused by the Divine Tempest.
  • Fixed bug where Ranged Attack Totem Support could support some skills it shouldn't be able to, because they created minions that used skills it could support.
  • Fixed a bug which caused Hillock to jump far slower than he was meant to.
  • Fixed a bug where we forgot to remove the Memory Nexus icon from the World Panel legend. Or maybe we were attacked by the Elder...?
  • Fixed a bunch of cases where the Monstrous Treasure prophecy would prevent fun mechanics from triggering.
  • Fixed a bug where you could support Berserk with Duration-modifying support gems, despite it having no duration that could be altered.
  • Fixed some awkward interactions between the Madcap Helmet and the Bleeding Eyes cosmetic effects.
  • Fixed a bug where you would fail to create a portal with Cast on Death if you were frozen at the point you died.
  • Fixed a bug where Scorching Ray totems wouldn't retarget after breaking out a Legion enemy.
  • Fixed a bug where Ancestral Call would leave weapon images behind when used with Flicker Strike.
  • Fixed a bug where a lore object in the Catacombs could become unreachable.
  • Fixed a Relic Chambers layout that could have unreachable areas.
  • Fixed some incorrect text regarding which craftable modifiers could be crafted on which slots.
  • Fixed a bug where the Dunes Map boss wasn't pulling the sword out of his chest like he was meant to.
  • Fixed some small cases of desync that could occur during the Elder encounter.
  • Fixed a bug where the Chieftain life recovery rate passive would trigger from non-enemy hits, when the passive specifically calls out enemies.
  • Fixed a bug where you could use a skill with a delayed slam (such as Ice Crash) and teleport mid-way through the attack, but the slam would stay in your original position.
  • Fixed several cases of mods that were craftable alongside mods they should not have been craftable alongside.
  • Fixed a bug where the incorrect tier would be displayed for mods on item types whose maximums for that type of mod were lower than other item types.
  • Fixed a bug where using a Vaal aura while you had Mortal Conviction or Supreme Ego (or both) would disable any other auras you had active.
  • Fixed a bug where certain tilesets would force Betrayal Transporation encounters to be far too short.
  • Fixed some skill gems missing the correct tags.
