Path of Exile 1 News

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!

Players have been frustrated with the current Path of Exile’s lack of new content, due to it being overshadowed by its sequel, and to address this, a new Legacy of Phrecia event has been added.

Recently, Legacy of Phrecia event introduced 19 build-defining class ascendancies, which has excited POE players. This change that the developers have been considering and even thinking about giving up for many years has turned the entire game’s build rankings and possibilities upside down.

In this event, players’ creativity for in-game builds will be fully tapped, and they will strive to make their builds the most powerful and popular builds at the moment. Here, this guide combines the many posts shared by the player community and social media to summarize the best builds you can use in Path of Exile Legacy of Phrecia event.

Blind Prophet Elemental Hit Of The Spectrum

Blind Prophet has become one of the most popular ascendancies because of its very powerful talent tree and return in the current POE 3.25 meta. Additionally, Careless and Directionless have become the focus of most projectile builds in the current event, so Elemental Hit of the Spectrum will get some extra power when in Nimis, making the damage capability of the entire build stronger.

With these buffs, Blind Prophet Elemental Hit of the Spectrum build will be your best choice for this Legacy of Phrecia event, especially if you don’t want to switch to a completely different build in the endgame.

Blind Prophet Lightning Strike

Compared to Lightning Strike in POE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur, this skill is now even more powerful due to the addition of new technology from ascendancies. So Blind Prophet Lightning Strike can also compete with the previous builds for the title of the best build of this event.

Compared with other bow-focused builds, Lightning Strike forces you to stand farther away from the enemy to perform all attacks. But it is worth reminding you that although Blind Prophet Lightning Strike can easily clear Tier 17 maps, its defense ability is not enough, so you need to spend some POE Currency to make up for this shortcoming.

Scavenger Power Siphon Mines

In POE 3.25, Power Siphon has become one of the most powerful skills, and the current Scavenger Power Siphon Mines build has become the choice of many players. But it must be admitted that this build will make you a little at a loss in the early exploration.

Because when clearing some groups of enemies, mine tech will prevent you from using all your damage skills to the maximum effect in a series of restrictions. However, the expansion cost of this Scavenger Power Siphon Mines build is relatively low, and the defense ability is also very strong.

Whisperer Kinetic Blast

Whisperer Kinetic Blast build is a popular choice for players who want to clear maps efficiently because of its large damage range. However, it is far more powerful than that, and if you have enough POE currency in the endgame, you will be able to expand it infinitely, eventually turning it into a powerful endgame build.

Whisperer Kinetic Blast builds don’t have as much single target damage as other builds that focus on this type of damage, but if you just want to earn all the experience and loot from defeating bosses and clearing maps, it is a good choice.

Servant Of Arakaali Summon Raging Spirits

If you prefer to rely on minions for close combat, while your character deals the highest elemental damage from a distance, then Servant of Arakaali Summon Raging Spirits is worth trying.

The entire build’s play style is mainly based around minions: after applying some curses, your minions will fight for you, and you just need to stay at the edge of the arena after they destroy all enemies in sight.

Overall, this build is strong in flexibility, but it’s still a bit behind the other top builds in this guide, so it’s more recommended for boss encounters that don’t often require you to roll and dodge.

Ancestral Commander Volcanic Fissure Of Snaking

Since Ancestral Commander Volcanic Fissure of Snaking revolves around Autoexertion on multiple warcries, it is very similar to most meta melee builds in POE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur, and its defense and damage capabilities in melee are very good.

Personally, Ancestral Commander Volcanic Fissure of Snaking is more suitable for exiles who are just beginning to explore Legacy of Phrecia event, because the rotation of skills and the required gear are very easy to learn.

As you invest more in it, this build can be explored in Tier 17 maps. And when you need to farm, you can switch it to an alternative build like Boneshatter.

The above is the best build that players discuss the most in the current POE Legacy of Phrecia event. I hope you can make corresponding changes to your own build under the inspiration of this guide, so that you can have your own best build. I wish you a happy game!

At this stage, when POE 2’s early access is in full swing and Path of Exile 3.26 is still not available, you may think that playing POE 2 will give you a better experience. Admittedly, the success of POE 2 is obvious to all, but you have to admit that the first game still has its own charm.

In fact, since they belong to the same series, there are similarities between the two games, but the gameplay of the sequel focuses mainly on skills, while the original version is more like a typical RPG. If you want to seek a breakthrough, it may be difficult to appreciate the strengths of POE 1 by yourself. Based on this, we will introduce you to 6 reasons why it is worth experiencing Path of Exile 1.

1. New Event - Legacy Of Phrecia

In order to calm the anger of players which resulted by repeatedly delayed of 3.26, Path of Exile recently launched a new event Legacy of Phrecia, for the first game as a new league for one month. Participating in it will allow you to play 19 new Ascendancy classes, which are also not available to you in POE 2.

2. No Dodge Button Gameplay

As one of the biggest differences between the two games, the lack of a dodge button means that you don’t need to dodge attacks by memorizing enemy patterns like the second game, but make full use of your movement and mobility skills. At this time, your survival status mainly depends on your health and defense attributes, which are more friendly to players who are adapted to traditional ARPGs compared to POE 2.

3. More Available Classes And Related Builds

Although the official version of Path of Exile 2 is expected to have 12 classes, there are only 6 in the early access, which is slightly less than the number of 7 classes in the original game. Since each class has multiple exclusive builds, now you will be able to try more builds gameplay in POE 1 than in the sequel, and use them to enrich your POE Currency farming channels.

4. Better Loot Mechanism

Perhaps because it has not yet entered the official version, the current loot drop mechanism of POE 2 is insufficient, especially the low drop rate of some important items has been criticized. In contrast, the first game has a higher drop rate for rare and unique items, and even allows you to get more drop methods or customize some items yourself, and this may be because POE 1 has a longer running time after all.

5. More Complete Campaigns

Although the number of acts in the campaign of Path of Exile was not enough at the beginning, as time goes by, you can now play up to 10 acts here, far better than the 3 acts in POE 2 early access. And as a sequel, most of the characters in POE 2 campaign have appeared in 1, so experiencing the campaign of 1 will also make you feel more familiar with these NPCs.

6. Better Endgame Events

Due to its high degree of completeness, it is normal that the endgame content of POE 1 is more complete and rich, and endgame events such as Breaches and Delirium in the sequel also come from POE 1.

If the above reasons are enough to convince you, and your enthusiasm for Path of Exile 2 has waned, then why not give the original game a try?

Dear Path Of Exile fans, have you heard the news that someone compared POE, Last Epoch, and Torchlight, and made the bold claim that Last Epoch has the best trading and material management system of the three? Let’s take a look at what’s going on.

As one of the most popular action role-playing games on the market, people are keen to analyze and discuss POE.

Posts Spark Discussion

A recent post has sparked a discussion about trading systems and material management, comparing it to equally popular contemporary games Torchlight and Last Epoch.

A user named Illustrious_Path_513 posted a post in which the author claimed that Last Epoch has the best trading and material management system of the three games based on his own experience. The discussion was sparked by disagreements about what the “better” system is.

In the post, the author touts the many advantages of Last Epoch. For example, he details how currency can be effortlessly separated in the inventory in Last Epoch, while players of POE often fall into a clunky interface that makes it difficult to separate Path Of Exile Currency from the inventory.

Material Management Mechanism

Illustrious_Path_513 praised Last Epoch’s material management mechanism for bringing great convenience to players and simplifying this element.

But other Last Epoch players have a more sober understanding. They said: LE is not perfect for trading, and hope it will be more perfect overall. And compared to Torchlight, the auction house has many shortcomings, but in the end it makes up for these shortcomings because of its practicality and integrated solution.

On the other hand, unlike the nightmare loot management experience in POE, the author claims that Last Epoch makes it easy to manage loot, which is in stark contrast.

In fact, even those of us who are fans of POE think that its unidentified item system is outdated. In the modern era of gaming, the increased randomness of finding equipment quality is not enough, and we expect a better loot management experience.

However, POE’s market also has a beneficial side. It is better to provide a trading search function, which can simplify the trading and selling of items, which is more convenient than using Last Epoch system. Although it also has trading limitations and needs to be ported to players for trading.

As the game continues to develop, developers will face the challenge of balancing player expectations and innovation. And it is very important for developers to keep up with the pace of improving the user experience. We hope that developers will accept our suggestions and add loot filters to the game as soon as possible to better develop and improve the game.
