Path of Exile 1 News

Path Of Exile just announced that it will update 3.26 expansion for free on June 13th (PDT), and many new POE Items will be updated in the game at that time.

Not long ago, POE released a preview of 3.26 expansion. Although there is only one picture, the amount of information contained in it is very large. Here are some introductions for you one by one.

Text Information

This picture seems to be an open note. The left half page is not completely photographed. The picture is very blurry, and there are large traces of smears. Only some messy text can be seen, such as expansion, name, reveal. This seems to be related to this expansion. We guess it may be information related to the name of the expansion.

There is also a word at the bottom: Navis, which means a ship in Latin. This may not have any actual meaning, but it is just interference information released by POE. After all, this situation will appear in basically every Season. So there may be no ship-related information in this expansion.

Next is the main content. The right half of the note contains a lot of information. We can clearly see the record of the note. Next, this part will be explained in detail and analyzed sentence by sentence.

“Threads. Impressions. Realities woven from memory - and yet, not quite right. Each one feels designed, but distorted.” This sentence sounds like someone describing the map of Atlas, because in this land, everything that may not exist in reality can be realized here. The only problem is that the people here will be distorted to some extent.

Although there are still some things wrong, from the trailer released today, it is related to Atlas and will decipher the secrets of Atlas.

Then look at the next sentence “Is this how the Originator hides their work?” From the new trailer, we can see that this originator is obviously a life. It bursts out many lines from its body. These lines may be the cause of those distortions. Back to this sentence, these distortions seem to be hiding something.

It seems that what these originators are doing may be a bit evil, and they may be doing something harmful to Atlas. Or the owner of this note just wants to know the secret of the originator. Who could this originator be? Let’s look at the note below.

“Or is it coming undone?” This sentence is best viewed together with the previous sentence. It may have a double meaning. “Undone” may mean that what the originator is doing is being revealed, or that the map is undergoing some changes. We don’t know what the person who wrote this sentence is referring to.

Let’s look at the last two sentences “Whatever the reason, I won’t stop now. Not when I’m this close.” These two sentences seem to indicate that the author may do everything he can to find what he wants, or that what happened between the originator and Atlas is very dangerous, and they must stop it at any cost.

Screen Information

We can see that there is a compass in the lower left corner of the picture, which may symbolize that this update requires exploring the map or looking for something on the map. It may be the originator or the person who wrote this note.

There is a red petal in the upper right corner of the note in the picture, which is probably related to Zana, because there are always red petals around Zana, and there are many red petals in this new trailer, so Zana will definitely return in 3.26.

This is what can be analyzed about 3.26 expansion trailer, and POE will broadcast live at 1PM on June 5 (PDT) to introduce more information about 3.26. If you want to know more, don’t miss that live broadcast.

As we all know, builds are very important in Path Of Exile. And Unbound Ailments Support Gem has great potential for upgrades and end-game builds. If you are looking for suitable builds, it is a wise move to get this gem, which will help your build greatly.

How To Get It?

Because of the game mechanism of POE, all skill gems will drop randomly. Because it may drop anywhere, you rarely see Unbound Ailments Support Gem drop. So how should we get it?

The best way to get this gem is to get it from Caged Brute mission reward in Act 1. However, there are conditions for getting this reward. This gem will only be given to you when the character you use is Witch and Scion classes.

If you didn’t choose Witch and Scion classes, but chose Shadow and Templar classes, you can trade that gem with Nessa using Path Of Exile Currency after completing Caged Brute quest.

You can also get the gem during A Fixture of Fate quest in Act 3. After you complete this quest, you need to find Siosa in the library near Imperial Gardens, after which you can trade the gem with Siosa using Divine Orb.

There is another way to get Unbound Ailments Support Gem, which you can get from Lilly Roth in Act 6. You need to complete Fallen from Grace quest, which is very cost-effective, and you will be able to add Lilly Roth to your hideout and gain access to her gem shop.

Usefulness

Unbound Ailments Support Gem is very helpful for your builds in the game. It can enhance useful ailments in a build, which can amplify damage if used properly.

The most recommended builds to use this gem are chaos-type builds, the most important of which is Poison.

As you all know, the biggest use of chaos-type builds is the continuous damage effect. Therefore, their damage will be highly scaled with the debuffs and even the skill gem level.

Unbound Ailments Support Gem will be very helpful for Poison and Bleeding builds, which will enhance their effects. These two builds contain almost all forms of damage, covering chaos and physical damage types.

Although this gem will have a strong strengthening effect on Poison and Bleeding builds, you must be cautious about the overall build effect. Only when you are sure that there is no better support gem for you to choose you can put it in the link slot.

I believe everyone has already understood the purpose and acquisition method of Unbound Ailments. You can try to get it in the game and add it to the appropriate builds.

Exiles, if you’re a console player looking for higher FPS and have the budget for extra electronics, you might want to try re-experiencing your Path Of Exile adventure on the latest PS5 Pro, where the new graphics and visual experience brought by the high-performance device may make you feel that the game is brand new!

But before you start playing, you need to change a few settings to ensure that you get the best image quality and performance from your new system.

1. Enhanced Image Quality

First of all, the first setting is for enhanced image quality for PS4 games, which you obviously want to enable. This takes advantage of the extra power of PS5 Pro to push PS4 games to maximum resolution and detail levels. After testing it with multiple games, we found that there is definitely a noticeable difference between turning it on and off, so it’s strange that it is turned off by default. Especially when running dungeons, the difference between turning it off and on is particularly obvious. You don’t want to be affected by it in the critical moment of killing bosses or farming POE Currency, right?

2. Allow 8K Output

For setting two, that is to allow 8K output. To be honest, most of us probably don’t have an 8K TV, but for those who do, this will allow games that support 8K to truly output in 8K. Currently, this includes games like Gran Turismo 7 and No Man’s Sky in addition to Path Of Exile.

3. Enable 8K Screenshots

Again, the next setting is under Capture and Broadcast, then Screenshot Format, which is used to enable 8K screenshots. Although it will take up more storage space, if you can enable this feature, then why not, so that the quality of your in-game photos will be incredible, after all, Pro does have 2TB of storage space. You can also choose to store them at full resolution in the virtual photography section, so you may find it useful!

4. Turn On Low Latency Mode

Going back to the screen and video options, the next settings are just to make sure that you have VRR, 120HZ output, and Auto Low Latency Mode enabled if your TV supports them, as these will allow your PS5 Pro to give you a much smoother gaming experience than it currently has.

5. Apply VRR

The next setting is still related to these, and is used to enable the option to apply VRR to unsupported games, as it will smooth out any potential frame drops in games that don’t support the feature.

6. Change Game Presets

After moving away from the screen and video settings, turn your eyes to the settings located under Saved Data and Game/App Settings, then Game Presets, which are used to change your preferred mode to Performance Mode. This is simply because Pro is usually able to run Performance Mode at the same visual fidelity as the regular resolution mode, so it is necessary to ensure that you can always experience a beautiful 4K 60 FPS gaming experience.

In conclusion, I highly recommend changing them for the best overall POE experience, as even on your PS5 Pro, they will be set wrong by default.

During your Path of Exile journey, you will encounter and obtain a variety of different items that are closely related to each other and determine how the game works and how you survive. If you want to make your character stronger enough to face the tough endgame and higher-level bosses, you need to know all POE items.

Currently, all items in Path of Exile can be roughly divided into 6 types. Some are available resources, while others can be seen as special props that can unlock more content. We will introduce them to you one by one.

1. Currency

POE’s currency system is actually composed of different types of orbs and other currency types, such as POE Divine Orbs or Chaos Orbs. Their main function is to make your gear more powerful through exclusive modifiers, thereby improving your character. You can obtain some currency through combat or trading with other players.

2. Mod

Mods are actually magical properties attached to other items. Other items can be classified as magic, rare or unique based on their rarity. Mods appear as prefixes or suffixes in the name of magic items, while rare items can get up to six random mods, including three prefixes and three suffixes.

3. Weapon

This is probably the most important type of item for your Path of Exile battles. Without weapons, you can’t move a step in Wraeclast. POE has a wide variety of weapon types, from cold weapons to magic weapons, and they will provide different additional benefits depending on how well they match your core attributes.

4. Armor

Armor and weapons can be said to be a pair of “twins”. They play an equally important role in your combat success rate. Armor can improve your defensive attributes, and different armors provide different functions. For example, Strength armor can reduce the physical damage you take, and Dexterity armor can give you Evasion attributes to help you avoid attacks.

5. Jewellery

This is a kind of icing on the cake item, including rings, amulets, belts, etc. The powerful magic properties they provide can be stacked with mods to play an unimaginable role in combat, and no specific property requirements are required to equip them.

6. Map

Perhaps you find it strange that maps are items? But in Path of Exile, this is the case! After entering the endgame, these map items will allow you to access new areas with higher challenges but more rewards. It is worth noting that you can still change the difficulty level and amount of rewards of the map by attaching mods.

Hopefully, the information we provide can help your character smoothly integrate into the world of Path of Exile, and in fact, they may also help you play POE 2! Have fun!
