poe 3.25 Path of Exile: Settlers of Calgar Expansion

Path of Exile: Settlers of Calgar introduces real-time mechanics, new challenges, and improved crafting systems, transforming the core game experience.

### Exclusive Reveal: Path of Exile Settlers of Calgar
The new challenge league, Settlers of Calgar, introduces a city-building mechanic and resource management system. Players will encounter familiar characters and be tasked with recruiting workers, traders, and exiles to help build Kings March. The league features the search for valuable resources like Crimson Iron, Oricalcum, Petrified Amber, and Bismuth, which will require defeating dangerous foes and hiring workers to mine them.

### Managing Resources and Expansion in Kings March
Miners collect resources in real time, with the option to speed up their work through hiring and station upgrades. The town can be upgraded and new structures built, including the tavern, mining station, disenchanter, and farming. Building a harbor allows for the establishment of shipping routes for trade, with the opportunity to send resources for specific rewards. The league introduces true real-time mechanics, allowing players to send out shipments and collect rewards at their leisure, while also incorporating delegation and the hiring of workers for shipping safety.

### The New Features of Path of Exile: Settlers of Calgar
The expansion introduces a new NPC, Fus, who facilitates currency trading and offers black market items for gold. Players can also encounter endgame bosses who may demand ransom or be defeated for unique item drops. The update includes a rebalance of the Gladiator class, with new passive skills and retaliation abilities for players to explore.

### Path of Exile: Retribution Skill and Ascendancy Class Changes
The Retribution skill now requires blocking to unleash a devastating spell with lightning bolts, offering various investment avenues for players. The Raider ascendency class has been removed and replaced with the new Warden class, focusing on elemental attacks, shock behavior, freeze enhancement, and Scorch instead of ignite, while also introducing a new defensive skill and alternative to flasks. Frenzy charge investment has been added to the Deadeye class, and drastic alterations have been made to melee skills, with the removal of melee totem skill gems and a significant buff to the damage of almost every melee skill, along with the introduction of new base types for higher defensive values in the end game.

### Path of Exile: Comprehensive Game Changes
Ciret items are no longer the best for Energy Shield, as new base types have surpassed them. The amount of flat evasion and armor from Grace and Determination auras has been reduced, but overall, more defenses are now available. Life modifiers on Magic and rare equipment have been buffed, allowing for higher additional maximum life. Quality on weapons and armors is being changed to apply multiplicatively, providing a damage increase for almost all builds using physical damage attacks.

The Juggernaut and various unique items have been changed, and maximum resistances from the tree have been increased around the Marauder class start. Endurance charges now grant additional Elemental damage reduction, and jewels can now roll maximum Elemental resistances as modifiers. All block passives have been buffed, and the Keystone Versatile Combatant has been improved to have less of a penalty to maximum block. Flesh and Stone has been reworked to favor melee or close-range gameplay,

### Overhaul and Expansion of In-Game Content in 3.25 Update
Path of Exile's 3.25 update brings a major overhaul to magic find and introduces new in-game content, including special encounters and map device slots. The update also includes changes to existing leagues, such as Blight and Rual, and introduces new encounters like the Nameless Sear and the Wildwood in Tier 16 and 17 maps. Additionally, the Kandra league brings a new risky encounter with reflective mist, offering unique jewelry items.

### Path of Exile: Latest Game Updates
Wave simulations in the Simulacrum have been adjusted for better Jewel rewards. New chisel types with different bonuses have been added for map customization. Tier 17 maps have been modified to allow rerolling with various currencies and have been rebalanced for difficulty. The drop rate of Valdo's puzzle boxes has been increased, with a reduced chance of obtaining certain unique items from them. The game has also been improved for new generation consoles with native ports for Xbox series and PS5, offering reduced loading times and enhanced visual fidelity. Quality-of-life features have been added, including the ability to unlock waypoints automatically and pick up items from a greater distance. Additionally, new supporter packs, the Paladin and Penance packs, have been launched, featuring exclusive cosmetic microtransactions and points.
