Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for version 3.9.0 released by Grinding Gear Games.

The Metamorph 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 Metamorph Challenge League, fellow exile Tāne Octavius is investigating the source of ill intent in the world; what he calls "The Intrinsic Darkness". Help him by harvesting flesh samples from monsters throughout Wraeclast and combining them to summon powerful, transforming bosses: Metamorphs.
• The more difficult the encounter you create, the greater the rewards. A new type of currency, the Catalyst, is available only by creating and defeating these powerful new foes. Catalysts can be used to increase the quality of your rings, belts and amulets in specific ways, enhancing certain types of modifiers.
• Once you reach maps, you'll be able to acquire samples from map bosses in different areas and combine them in Tāne's lab for fights that are extra difficult (but extra rewarding!).
• With 3.9.0, there are Standard, Hardcore and Solo Self-Found variations of the Metamorph 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 Metamorph Footprints effect. When you reach 24 challenges, you will receive the Metamorph Weapon effect. At 36 challenge completed you'll receive the Metamorph Portal effect. 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 Metamorph Totem Pole decoration to display in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Metamorph challenges you completed during the league.

Major New Content and Features

• Conquerors of the Atlas: A brand new endgame mapping experience. The Shaper and the Elder have both been defeated! ...Just not by you. Another group of Exiles has saved Wraeclast from these celestial harbingers of doom, but that wasn't enough. They continued to cut paths through the Atlas, leaving carnage in their wake, and forcing Zana to seal them in the Atlas forever. But they are trying to find a way out... Can you stop them before they bring ruin to Oriath? Featuring 5 new endgame boss encounters, powerful rewards (including new currencies), and new ways to modify your Atlas.

• Continued to incrementally improve the sound, art, effects and environments.

Atlas Changes

• The Atlas of Worlds has been reworked. You now start at the centre and will work your way outwards as you explore a new storyline.
• The Shaper and Elder storyline is gone and has been replaced by a story that takes place in the aftermath of the old story.
• Added 5 new difficult endgame bosses, each with their own special loot, including several new item types.
• Added a new mechanic - Watchstones: These can only be obtained by defeating one of the new Atlas bosses. They can be used to raise the tier of all maps in a particular region of the Atlas, causing all maps of those base types to drop at the new higher tier.
• Sextants can no longer be applied to individual maps, and no longer have a radius. They are now applied to Watchstones instead, and affect every map in that Watchstone's region. They are not restricted by map tier, and if two or more Watchstones contain the same Sextant modifier, only one will apply. Also, they've been renamed.
• Zana can now sell Shaper- and Elder-influenced maps once you have progressed your Atlas enough. These act like the old Atlas influence, creating new monsters, threats, and rewards.
• The Zana modifiers that change map tiers or reroll map basetypes have been disabled, at least for now.
• Unique maps can now drop with varied tiers based on the state of your Atlas. Maps that previously had monster level overrides (such as Hallowed GroundHallowed Ground
  Cemetery MapMap Level: 71
  Map Tier: 4
  Guild Character: Ð
  Item Quantity: +100%
  Item Rarity: +100%Unique Boss drops 3 additional Maps

  When given the chance, they take from us what they can.
  So we offer our suffrage.
  In return, they give only suffering.Travel to this Map by using it in a personal Map Device. Maps can only be used once.) now instead rely on the variable tier.

Blight Mechanics Added to the Core Game

• Blight has been added to the core game! You will have a 10% chance to encounter Cassia and her beautiful singing while exploring the Atlas.
• Each Blight encounter will award at least one Oil or Blighted Map.
• Cassia will say some nonsense early on because we haven't updated her script yet. Sorry!

Character Balance

• Fortify's damage reduction effect is now multiplicative with other similar effects.
• Shock and Chill calculations have been changed. In general, it is much easier to Shock and Chill monsters with low values of the ailment, but harder to reach high values of Shock and Chill. The formula used to calculate Shock and Chill magnitudes is now: 1/2*[Damage % of Ailment Threshold (see below) ]^0.4
• We've added an Ailment Threshold to monsters. In the great majority of cases, the Ailment Threshold matches the monster's Maximum Life. It primarily differs for especially high-life monsters (such as The Shaper), where the threshold is reduced to allow ailments to be applied with hits that wouldn't ordinarily reach the required Life thresholds.
• The minimum Shock and Chill value is now 5% (from 1%). To reach the minimum, you must deal 0.4% of a monster's Ailment Threshold with the associated element in a single hit. To inflict a 10% Chill you must deal 1.8% of a monster's Ailment Threshold with the associated element in a single hit. A 30% Chill requires a hit of 28% of the monster's Ailment Threshold.
• The default Shock magnitude for effects that apply Shock without damage (such as Skitterbots) is now 15% (from 20%).
• The alternate ailments Sap, Scorch and Brittle have a slightly different calculation as they have lower caps on their magnitudes.

• Now costs 8 mana at gem level 1 (from 18), up to 10 at gem level 20 (from 27).
• Arrows stick into the enemy or wall and explode after a duration. The duration no longer refreshes whenever a new arrow is attached (previously they were handled like "charges", which refresh their duration whenever a new one is gained).
• If an enemy has multiple arrows stuck in them, the first one to explode will consume all other attached arrows, adding their damage to the first arrow's explosion.
• On-hit effects such as Chance to Knockback are determined by the exploding arrow, however each arrow calculates it's own damage, including critical strike chance and damaging ailments independently, and these are summed to create one hit. Each arrow checks it's own critical strike chance, and only has it's critical multiplier applied to that arrow's portion of the damage if that arrow rolls a critical strike, but if any of the arrows roll a critical strike, this combined explosion will be considered a crit for on-crit effects. The same is true of damaging ailments such as ignite. For example, if the exploding arrow did not successfully roll a critical strike or ignite, that part of the explosion will have no ignite damage or critical strike multiplier. If two other arrows were also attached at the point of the explosion and they successfully rolled to critically strike, they will add their critical strike damage to the explosion, and the explosion will cause an ignite from their summed ignite damage.
• Explosions now also deal added fire damage based on gem level, up to 522 to 783 at gem level 20 (from 586 to 879).
• Now inherits its base critical strike chance from your weapon (previously had a 6% base critical strike chance).
• Now gains +2 to explosion radius up to a cap determined by gem level, up to +19 at gem level 20. Previously it naturally capped at +10 due to the charge limit.
• Explosions now deal 3% more damage with Ignite per explosive arrow on the target.

• Helena now has something to say about the Order of the Djinn.

Monster Changes

• Boss encounters throughout the entire campaign have been made more difficult. In most cases they have significantly more life, will deal more damage, and use some skills and attacks more quickly. This is particularly true for Act bosses. Several bosses also have new skills.
• Many bosses with lengthy introductions (such as the Brine King) now take reduced damage for a short period immediately after becoming targetable.
• Monsters throughout the game now have more armour, from 33% at level 1 up to 2762% at level 84. Sounds a lot scarier than it is, because their base armour is stirringly unimpressive.
• Monster resistances throughout the game have been reviewed and made more consistent. In many cases this has resulted in more resistances on monsters.
• The Wave skill used by some Sea Witch monsters (such as Merveil's Daughter) is no longer considered a projectile, and will deal damage in a way that more accurately reflects its visuals.

Betrayal Changes

• Elder Guardians are no longer in a separate instance to that of their map.
• Like the bosses throughout the campaign, most map bosses have had their life significantly increased and the damage and speed of several skills increased. Many bosses are now also more resistant to elemental and chaos damage.
• When encountering Zana in a map, the number of map options she offers is now tied to the level of the area.
• Zana's level, which determines which Map Device crafting options you have available as well as what maps Zana can stock in her vendor window, is now determined by the number of maps you have completed on your Atlas.

Shaper and Elder Modifiers

• Edit: You can no longer roll the higher tier Additional Chance to Evade Attacks modifier on rings. You can still obtain the lower tier.

Crafted Modifiers

• Edit: You can no longer craft the Veiled increased Damage of specific elements with an ailment chance on Bows.

Explosive Arrow

• Edit: On-hit effects such as Chance to Knockback are determined by the exploding arrow, however each arrow calculates it's own damage, including critical strike chance and damaging ailments independently, and these are summed to create one hit. Each arrow checks it's own critical strike chance, and only has it's critical multiplier applied to that arrow's portion of the damage if that arrow rolls a critical strike, but if any of the arrows roll a critical strike, this combined explosion will be considered a crit for on-crit effects. The same is true of damaging ailments such as ignite. For example, if the exploding arrow did not successfully roll a critical strike or ignite, that part of the explosion will have no ignite damage or critical strike multiplier. If two other arrows were also attached at the point of the explosion and they successfully rolled to critically strike, they will add their critical strike damage to the explosion, and the explosion will cause an ignite from their summed ignite damage.
