Path of Exile 1 News

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.

A comprehensive introduction to all the classes in Path of Exile, as well as the differences and selection strategies of classes. The following content is mainly for the introduction of classes for new players. I hope everyone can get started quickly!

First, let’s take a look at the official introduction of each class. There are a total of 7 classes, namely Templar, Marauder, Witch, Range, Duelist, Shadow and a hidden class. After rescuing Scion not far from Act 3 final boss, you can choose the hidden class Scion.

• 1. Templar’s attributes are strength and wisdom. He is a class that is biased towards the elemental system. He can be an elemental magic system, an elemental attack system, or an elemental totem system.
• 2. Marauder is a standard tank and output, which can crush the enemy like a tank. The disadvantage is naturally that the output is slightly insufficient. It is suitable for novices to fight monsters, and there is also a way to play using elemental totems.
• 3. Witch is a traditional mage class. Although it has low HP, it has many AOE methods and high damage, which is more suitable for beginners.
• 4. Ranger is an agile long-range DPS. Although it is easy to operate, it is not easy to use in practice because of low damage in the early stage, no range attack, and very low HP.
• 5. Duelist is a semi-tank melee DPS, similar to the classes of swordsman and swordsman.
• 6. Shadow is an agile and intelligent melee DPS. When using the charge skill to dodge, it also uses some trap skills. It is more suitable for players who like to deal with monsters and release debuffs on them.

This class introduction is only for beginners. You can play it however you want in the later stage. There is no fixed rule. However, as a beginner, you mainly need to kill monsters, level up and do tasks, so the first account should use the most conventional point method. It doesn’t matter if you play it badly. You can practice a character again very quickly.

The hidden class Scion can only be unlocked after reaching the third chapter and rescuing Scion at level 30 or above. This class is very comprehensive in all aspects and looks very good. After you unlock this class, I believe you have a deep understanding of various classes. Since Scion is a hidden class, it must be quite powerful. Players who like Scion should quickly clear the level and unlock it!

For POE 2, unlocking Ascendancy subclass is very necessary, because it can help your character gain more combat benefits, but the unlocking method is more troublesome and requires you to complete two more difficult trials.

In contrast, Ascendancy unlocking in the first game seems to be easy for you to ignore, but at the stage when 3.26 has not been released, if you still want to play Path of Exile, now is the best time for you to complete all Trials of Ascendancy in it - they can indeed bring you a power increase and should not be skipped. Based on this, I will introduce you to the locations of all Trials of Ascendancy in 10 acts of POE.

What Is POE Trial Of Ascendancy?

You can think of Trial of Ascendancy in the first game as a minor puzzle. Although there are some dangerous elements in the process of completion, there is no boss, only regular enemies. After defeating them, you may randomly get POE Currency, and the difficulty is not high.

Where Can These Trials Be Found?

All trials in Path of Exile’s 10 acts can be divided into three levels: normal, cruel, and merciless. They are located in different acts according to their levels, as follows:

Normal Trials Of Ascendancy:

• Act One: The Prison (Lower Level)
• Act Two: The Crypt (Level One), The Chamber of Sins (Level Two)
• Act Three: The Crematorium, The Catacombs, The Imperial Gardens

Cruel Trials Of Ascendancy:

• Act Six: The Prison
• Act Seven: The Crypt, The Chamber of Sins

Merciless Trials Of Ascendancy:

• Act Eight: The Bath House
• Act Nine: The Tunnel
• Act Ten: The Ossuary

Eternal Labyrinth

As the final challenge, you need to unlock Eternal Labyrinth by offering sacrifices to the goddess after completing all trials. After completing this labyrinth for the first time, you will be able to unlock your Ascendancy class. Each starting class has three exclusive Ascendancy classes. For example, if your starting class is Witch, you will unlock Necromancer, Elementalist, and Occultist.

In order to fully utilize the power of these Ascendancy classes, it is recommended that you continue to complete other labyrinths to gain Ascendancy points, unlock new passive skills in your Ascendancy skill tree to enrich your combat skill selection.

If your Path of Exile character level is high enough and your gear is strong enough, then there is no time to lose, set out now to conquer these trials! Good luck!
