'''Acts''' divide Path of Exile's storyline into sections. Each act has its own [[quest]]s, [[town]], [[NPC]]s and an [[act boss]] at the end.

Since [[The Fall of Oriath]] expansion, there have been ten acts broken into [[part one|two]] [[part two|parts]], each part spanning a large arc within the storyline. New acts were generally added to the game with every major [[expansion]] until the release of the ten-act system.
