Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for version 0.9.13h released by Grinding Gear Games.

Features

• You now don't have to reopen the vendor window each time you want to buy an additional currency item of the same type.
• We've changed the vendor recipes related to matching rares that have the same name. It's still possible to get Orbs of Alchemy and Regal Orbs, but is more complex and costly.
• Added an option for "No sound while in background".
• Added an option that allows you to prevent items from auto-equipping as they are picked up. This was requested by players using the Facebreaker unique item.
• Screenshots (taken with the F8 key) are now saved in the My Games folder in your Documents folder, rather than in Path of Exile's installation directory.
• When buying items from a vendor, currency items are now only taken from your first eight stash tabs.

Balance

• Hybrid armours have been improved by 10% relative to other armour types.
• Quality now no longer affects the block chance of shields.
• Rebalanced PvP damage scaling so that players generally have more survivability.
