Why Is POE 1’s Legacy Of Phrecia Event Important To Path Of Exile 2?

I don't know if you know about POE 1's Legacy of Phrecia Event. Maybe you have not only heard of it, but also played it. Today let's explore why it is important for POE2 players.

The Path of Exile: Legacy of Phrecia event was launched on February 20, 2025, and quickly became a hot topic among fans. In just 24 hours, it had 91,977 real-time online players on Steam.

Apology Event

In fact, GGG has limited energy to develop two games at the same time. At first, in order to meet the needs of players of both games, he promised to develop them simultaneously and release the league and major patches of PoE 1 and the early access updates of PoE 2 alternately.

But the final result is seen by everyone. Jonathan Rogers, as a representative of the company, said on the public platform that it was an impossible task. At that time, POE 1 had been on Settlers of Kalguur for more than 200 days, and lasted for more than 29 weeks. It became the longest league in the history of POE 1.

Therefore, GGG, as a company that values ​​player feedback in the community, decided to hold an event for fans to apologize. So the event called Legacy of Phrecia was launched, which launched 19 new Ascendancy classes based on the game's lore and mechanics.

As we all know, PoE 1 has been around for about 12 years since its release. Even if we add the closed beta version that started in 2011, it has been 14 years. And the Ascendancy class has remained roughly the same for nearly nine years.

This undoubtedly provides players with new motivation to upgrade equipment and unlock skills for the new class by challenging enemies to obtain Path Of Exile Currency.

There is also good news. Based on the good reception and enthusiastic feedback from players to the Legacy of Phrecia event, and in response to the requests of the majority of players in the community, this event, which was originally scheduled to end at the end of March, will be extended for a full month and will now end at the end of April.

Special Rewards

We all know that the Legacy of Phrecia event is designed specifically for PoE 1, even if it is not designed for PoE 2, but it may eventually inspire some events or seasons in PoE 2.

In addition, participating in this event may get unexpected surprises. It will provide some unique rewards that make you feel that participating in this event is worthwhile. Even if you are not a PoE 1 player, but a PoE 2 player.

Of course, the most attractive of them are Autumn Knight armor set and Twitch Drops. They can be used in both PoE 1 and PoE 2 games, and can only be obtained in this event. Players can get Twitch Drops in the first week of the event.

In addition, Autumn Knight armor set is very important to increase the speed at which you farm XP and in the end-game battle. However, its acquisition requirements are relatively difficult. You need to reach level 20, 40, 60 and 80 before you have a chance to get Autumn Knight Armor Set.

Therefore, it is very necessary to use Divine Orb. It can upgrade your equipment, speed up your upgrade speed, and greatly increase your chances of obtaining Autumn Knight Armor Set.

After reading this article, you must have a general understanding of why it is important for POE 2 players. I hope this article can answer your doubts.
