Settlers league is the current challenge league. It launched on July 26, 2024 as part of Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur in version 3.25.0.

League mechanic

Players will assist characters from Kalguur to construct the town of Kingsmarch and establish a shipping trade route between Wraeclast and Kalguur. The player can collect GoldGoldStack Size: 50000Used as Currency in Kingsmarch from enemies and loot containers, which are used to fund construction projects and pay workers in Kingsmarch. Many of the activities in Kingsmarch use real-life timers.

Workers

Kingsmarch requires paid workers to operate its main functions. The hiring process is done through Raulf, the Recruiter, who will provide a list of random workers with varying specialty levels. You can refresh the worker stock by paying Gold. You can also fire workers via Raulf.

Workers have a initial recruitment fee and their hourly wages. Idle workers do not drain funds if there is no work for them.

Resources

Resources are used for town upgrades and shipment. Each resources will be collected over time, with higher level workers increasing the rate of collection. There are four different types of resources:

• Ores: Raw material can be extracted from mineral deposits located in zones. You must then have workers on Mining to extract the resources from the deposits.
• Bars: Smelters will turn mined ores into bars. Bars are worth more than ores in shipments.
• Crops: Workers assigned to Farming will generate crops as long as their wages are being paid.
• Thaumaturgic Dust: Rog will take items to be converted into Thaumaturgic Dust over time. The rate at which the equipments are disenchanted scales with worker Disenchanter levels.

Shipment

Resources can be sent in shipments to different locations, which will make its trip to the location within the allotted time and return with loot. The rewards received from shipments depends on the shipment value and resources sent. The more valuable the shipment, the more Risk is generated, which have a chance to trigger a negative effect, such as losing workers or decreasing shipment value. Loading in workers with higher Shipping level decreases the amount of Risk generated.

Atlas Runners

Main page: Kalguuran Map Device

Once you've constructed a Kalguuran Map Device, you can hire Atlas Runners to run maps and collect items from them. The amount of items received and the chance of a worker dying scales with the workers' Mapping level. Multiple maps can be queued on the Map Device.
