Path Of Exile 2 Patch 0.4.0 Predictions | New Appearance System, Delve Return And Possible Druid Class Reveal

Recently, the official PoE 2 team announced plans to release patch 0.4.0 in early December, bringing players some new content and settings. While the specific livestream and release dates are still unknown, this news has undoubtedly ignited the enthusiasm of players.

Across various platforms, players are actively discussing the content of this update. Below, we'll make some predictions about Path of Exile 2 patch 0.4.0 based on player expectations.

Appearance Customization

Although PoE 2 features many exquisite base items, players cannot actually collect them to customize their characters. Many players have expressed a preference for more realistic, retro-style armor and other base items over overly extravagant fantasy-style microtransactions.

PoE 2 team has noted this. Several months ago, they indicated in a Reddit user suggestion thread that they were developing a permanent skin transfer feature.

This feature will allow players to create permanent skin transfers for any base item type or unique item. Items transferred via skin transfers will appear in the player's cosmetics inventory, allowing them to freely use their owned unique items, base items, and microtransaction cosmetics.

While the exact release date for this system is still uncertain, we hope it will appear in PoE 2 patch 0.4.0.

Undoubtedly, this feature will add new fun to the game. Imagine how interesting it would be to mix and match different armor types during your adventures. Each player will surely create their own unique style.

Adding Delve Mechanism

If you've played PoE, this mechanic will be familiar. Delve allows players to follow a Crawler driven by Voltaxic Sulphite through the mine to a checkpoint, thus exploring Azurite Mine dungeon. In this dungeon, you'll delve deeper underground, defeating various monsters and challenging powerful enemies.

Previously, players discovered Delve-related content in PoE 2, leading to speculation that this popular mechanic might be added.

It's easy to imagine how wildly players who enjoy pushing their limits would react when this near-unrestricted exploration mechanism appears in game.

It provides players with a way to test their character's strength. When a player fails at a certain location, they can continuously improve upon the weaknesses of their current build, utilizing more powerful Path of Exile 2 items to elevate it to a higher level.

All signs point to Delve's imminent addition to the game. If it does appear, it will likely be redesigned to fit PoE 2 mechanics. Delve could provide inspiration for the existing Endgame Atlas and satisfy the needs of players who crave endless character exploration.

Druid Launch

Although PoE 2 officially states there will be 12 official classes, 5 are still not in the game. Therefore, we speculate that a new class will appear in this patch 0.4.0, providing players with more build options.

Of the unreleased classes, Druid has received the most requests, demonstrating its popularity among players.

Furthermore, players were pleasantly surprised to discover some Talismans that might be related to Druid.

Originally socketable items that provide various attribute bonuses to other items, Talismans discovered by players require Strength and Intelligence to equip, leading to speculation that they will be redesigned as Druid's primary equipment.

In addition, Talismans allow players to use Shapeshifting Skills, meaning that even when Druid is in bear or wolf form, players can still use skills from all forms, thus addressing concerns that shapeshifting might negatively affect character progression.

It's easy to imagine that if Druid does appear in this PoE 2 patch 0.4.0, players will unleash their enthusiasm and create many worthwhile builds. If you also want to try these builds in the game, consider stocking up on Path of Exile 2 currency beforehand; it will probably help you achieve your goals more smoothly.

Overall, although only the announcement of the upcoming patch 0.4.0 has been released, Path of Exile 2 players are already very excited about the game.

As December approaches, players are eagerly awaiting more useful information from the official team. Perhaps a new live stream or announcement will be released soon, so stay tuned!
