bfx. I do want to see the art, the art direction from Grinding Gear Games. Welcome to G live. Today we're going to show you an exclusive reveal of Path of Exile: Settlers of Calgo, which launches next week on July 26th. Twitch drops are enabled on today's live stream, so make sure you follow the instructions below in order to claim your Corsair back attachment. In today's stream, we will take you on a deep dive into the new Settlers of Calgar Challenge League. We'll cover the league mechanics, its new and revised crafting systems, a new trade market system for currency, some sweets including two Ascendancy class changes, endgame improvements, some further additions to the campaign, what the [__]. We'll then talk about our console native Port releases and the features that come alongside them. Finally, we'll show you our new supporter packs, ending with a live Q&A session where Ziggy D will ask Path of Exile's game director Mark your questions from Twitch chat after the live stream.

we'll drop the full patch notes. I'll hand over to Mark now to introduce the new league. We're really innovated with the c in this league, and I'm really excited to see what everyone thinks. So let's just get right into it with the trailer for Path of Exile: Settlers of Calgar. Let's just get right into it. Ray class is a cursed land. You'd have to be mad to settle here, true, and yet welcome to Kings March. It's not much yet, but with your help, we can erect the greatest City Ray Clast has ever seen. Yep, we'll need resources. Oh wow, actually doing settlers. Yeah, actually doing. Yo, are we doing a settler stream before League launch? Maybe practice. Soon we'll attract settlers, craftsmen, is that reator seekers, that was a Rec combinator, and of course, pirates. I'm arriving, but if we prevail, our ships will be heavy with gold. We hope to achieve the impossible. We hope to build a home. Oh, there boats. I love boats. Respect with gold. Gold.

huh, what are they doing? Huh, Gladiator rework. I'm winning so many massive melee rebalance. Rebalance though. TR, TR. [Music] I'm not ready. Rewind. We need a rewind. Can we, like, watch that again? Just play the same thing over again. Was that Sentinel? I swear I saw Sentinel. Path of Exile. Settlers of Calgar. You will encounter some familiar faces from the Expedition League: Danig, Rog, Tujan, and Gwon are Curan people who are trying to establish trade between Rayclast and their homeland. They have recruited many curious characters from Rayclust, including some you may recognize, but are also seeking help of a powerful Exile like yourself (me). You will first encounter Johan, the king's hand, in Lioneye's Watch. He's there recruiting workers, traders, and Exiles. Johan, under the command of the king of Calgar, has been sent here to build a new city called Kings March, which intends to become the hub of commerce between Rayclast and Calgar.

soon, he will bring you to the planned site for Kings March, which you'll notice has humble beginnings as just a Tavern in a field. But with your help, it won't stay like this for long. It takes a lot to build a town. The Cur will ask you to seek out resources that can be used to begin construction. On your adventures, you might find minerals such as Crimson iron, which are veins of iron that have been overrun with corruption, spawning dangerous foes when you approach. Or perhaps orac Calum, which you will have to liberate from the demons worshiping it. Petrified Amber attracts mindless blighted enemies, while bismuth has a strong affinity to the elements and causes the area to become unstable. So if you are lucky, you might find versium, a material as valuable as it is dangerous and guarded by a very powerful bird. Once you defeat these Monsters, the deposit will automatically be tagged for mining. But first, we need to get someone to do the hard labor and is a circle leag. This is

of course, a trade expedition, and nothing is free. Miners, along with other workers that the current have hired, must be paid in cold hard gold, which you'll notice is now dropping throughout Ray clust. You will have control about who gets hired into your enterprise. Once you have accumulated some gold, head to the town and talk to the recruiter, Ralph. He's been busy tracking down hardy folk across R Class who are looking for work. You'll notice each person has their specialties and a wage cost. It'll be up to you to hire and fire as you please. Over the course of the league, you'll be searching for your perfect employees for each job. Once you have them, you have to keep them paid, safe, and alive, which we'll get into later. Alive. Here we have a prospect who is a specialty in mining. We'll start with that so we can begin to retrieve some of those resources we were talking about earlier. Promising pick. Let's go find some more and put our miner to use. Oh, we found a vein of orac calcum.

ore. It's guarded by dangerous demons worshiping a strange Shrine. The shrine buffs the demons, giving them power. But once you defeat them, you can seize that power for yourself. After that, we can tag the ore, and our mining specialist will get to work. Soon, we encounter a few more deposits, each with a different dangerous encounter. After you have tagged the mineral veins, your miners will get to work collecting resources in real time. They might take a while but will continue whether you are logged in or not. All the work can be sped up by hiring more or better miners, and by upgrading the mining station back in to equip them with advanced pickaxes. All right, some time has passed, and our miners have been able to get the resources back to town. We've also managed to collect some more gold too. We can now upgrade the town and build new structures. There's plenty of options; we just need to decide where to start. I think we'll start with the tavern, the Beating Heart Of Kings Mar. It can be

upgraded instantly to improve the recruiter prospects. And you can find various important NPCs relaxing here. Next, we'll upgrade our mining station. You can upgrade this to improve the efficiency of your Miners and allocate our newly hired workers to m. A whole game, you will eventually need a smelter where you can send your ore to turn into more valuable bars. Then we have the disenchanter where you can bring your magic rare or unique items to be added to a queue to be disenchanted over time. Let's make some dust. The items will be broken down into thoric dust minutes, a new resource used for crafting and shipping. We'll get more into that later. And of course, a town needs food. You could invest in farming where you can select crops to grow and harvest. Don't worry, you won't be manually watering anything. Ah, the wonders of Delegation. With all these resources piling up, there will be excess that we can spend. Let's talk about rewards and settlers of Calgar. Eventually, you can build a harbor.

and establish shipping routes between a number of different Currin and Card ports for trade. BS you'll be able to pile your required resources onto these ships and send them to a port of your choosing where your Traders will haggle for the best deals. Each Port will return specific rewards based on what you send them. They accept all types of resources but will have a preferred type that they'll currently pay more for. Wow and you'll want to get on to this because eventually you could be bringing in shipments like this. [Music] this I want that one I want that one oh this going have a mage blood oh wow today we're going to trade no free Mage Bloods yet. You'll notice that as we send more resources this risk meter creeps up much like the dangers on the shores of Ray class. There are dangers out at sea monsters Pirates environmental hazards. You want to try keep your shipment safe. I'm playing trade this league you can do this by hiring workers that specialize in shipping the more volume you add to the

ship, the less risk there will be. Like this gentleman who's famous for fending off even the most dangerous of pirates. Now let's get that shipment going, and we'll continue exploring Ray class while we wait for its return. But this is the first path of xile League that experiments with true real-time mechanics. You can send out shipments, go and have lunch, and come back to your rewards. Many mechanics in the league work this way, so you'll always have some ongoing project or outcome to look forward to. When your shipment has returned or met its demise, you'll get notified, and at your leisure, you can return to the town to collect your rewards. Our shipment returns safely, so let's go see what we got. Oh, they've sent us a unique item alongside our rewards, perhaps hoping to secure us as a loyal customer for the future. With a lot of work, a lot of from Shipping, the calgarians are big on their technology. They have hired Isa, a familiar face from The Heist League. She is an engineer who the calgar have

employed for a very exciting purpose. You're not the only one who understands how profitable running Maps can be. Once at ingame ISA can help you build a series of curan modified map devices. You can then put a queue of maps into them. If you've hired a few skilled, they will put themselves to work running those Maps. You Sugg is a mobile game look more delegation. Once again, you'll be notified when the rewards are ready to be collected. You can put lots of maps in the queue, so don't feel obliged to go back there all the time. H, be careful though. The difficulty of the map impacts the risk of your workers perishing permanently killed. Try to pick your best workers or perhaps just ones you don't like. Consider the difficulty too. Sometimes it's better to just run it yourself. You'll see there are many benefits to having a whole ass town at your fingertips. Let's talk about crafting Services. You should definitely consider building a run smithing table. This is operated by danic himself using powerful

calgar and blacksmithing Arts. He can engrave runic magic onto your weapons using runes. There are many Rune types and combinations to choose from, and you can unlock new crafts that can be applied to your weapons as enchantments. Our design intention here is to take powerful effects you would usually only find on unique items, like this modifier, which you might recognize from Doom Fletcher's prism. Dan EG can apply it to your two-hand. There are over 100 different special ranging from ones very easily applied to very difficult. It's reverse LP. The Rune types can be acquired through trade with calgar, defeating powerful bosses. The Cur and Tech benefits don't end there. We're also bringing back a formerly overpowered crowd favorite recombination. Yes, she just needs you to help her with resources. Everyone isn't as as it used to be, but it still allows you to combine two items hoping to get the be modifiers of each onto a single item. I want to play so much of this league. I'm going to play. I'm never.

playing, shipping, and exploring, you'll be collecting a lot of extra gold. It is now the primary resource for two huge new quality-of-life features that we are putting to test. They trading dude, they're doing it. Firstly, you can use gold to spec passive points. This is a feature from Path of Exile 2 that we've decided just makes sense to port back. The higher aot of the more expensive it gets. Oh, and the next one is absolutely massive: a currency trade market. The Calgarians have recruited Fus, another NPC from The Heist League. He allows you to asynchronously buy and sell currency and most other stackable items with other players without the nuisance of price fixes and people who never respond. All you need to do is select what currency you want, say what you have and your ideal ratio. It works kind of like a real-life stock market. I never thought they do F will make the trade happen for you so long as there is someone selling on the other end for the same rate or less. You'll be able to go back to

blasting monsters trusty F does the dirty work. Only for all you need to do is pay him a small amount of gold for his time. Yeah, cards on the table. This is an experiment to see if this type of asynchronous trading has a place in future Path of Exile releases. We are very excited to see how it goes. That's not now. Given that Fers is an expert in black market trade and shady deals, he also provides another service offering items for gold. The items will generate with random rarity and, on average, the modifiers on them are better than normal. This can be a very nice way to get some targeted items during the campaign. For serious crafters, it can be a great starting point for making those elusive specific in-game items, which perhaps you could take to the runesmith afterwards. It's worth noting that you can invite Fers to your hideout where he will always be available for respeccing, currency exchange, and black market items. As your town grows, it will attract more attention, good and bad. Sailors of

Calgar features three endgame bosses that will close in on your operations, wanting a piece of the pie. They might capture and ransom your workers, even your entire ships. You'll have to make some tough decisions: will you take them on or pay them off? One example of a boss is San, the Bandit Lord. You won't stumble across this boss by accident. Instead, this unsavory character can come into your town at night and take your Atlas Runners hostage, holding them for ransom. What happens next is up to you. You refuse to negotiate with bandits, leading to a fight to defeat Sassan and rescue your workers. If you're not up for the heroics, you might simply pay the ransom in gold. Or perhaps these workers were especially disappointing, and you'll just leave them for dead. In true Ray class fashion, they knew what they were signing up for, right? Of course, the heroics might be worth it for other reasons. These bosses can drop new unique items.

Settlers of Calgar is a very experimental league with new mechanics that will completely change how you play the core game. We've been sitting on a lot of these ideas for a while and can't wait to share them with you. But there's a lot more to this expansion, let's talk about balance. Well, we finally rebalanced the Gladiator. It's been a long time coming. Like before, there are passive skills that allow you to invest in bleeding and 20%. We've designed new skills replacing some of the wow that's H like this war of attrition, which is very handy for long sustained boss fights. Further alongside the Gladiator theme, this new passive allows you to combine different weapons dueling to get a variety of powerful bonuses. For example, holding a dagger will give you more Critical Strike chance, while holding a mace gives you more area of effect. Of course, you could just use Varon Asra for all weapon type bonuses. And finally, we have a new notable which allows you to invest in

the newly added retaliation skills. These are active skills which require you to meet a certain condition in order to use them. Okay, once you meet that condition, you can unleash devastation on your foes. Here we have Eviscerate, which requires you to have a shield, or for those who like to dual wield, Sword Storm, which is great for obliterating bosses. Here we have the Divine Retribution skill. This one has the condition requiring you to block. You can then unleash a devastating spell causing lightning bolts to strike the ground in an X shape around your target location, doing huge amounts of damage. Of course, in true Path of Exile fashion, there are many avenues to invest in these mechanics further on the passive tree and a new support gym. You are able to increase the leeway duration after meeting the condition, reduce the cooldowns, or just increase their damage. The world's your oyster. The Gladiator wasn't the only ascendancy class we've changed as we develop Path of Exile system. We often find ourselves reusing mechanics, increasing

their depth and allowing more Avenues to invest into them. As such, the Raider ascendency class found itself lacking, with many of its passes commonly available elsewhere. Classes to always feel like they're pushing the boundaries, allowing you to change your character in ways that are meaningful and ideally unique. As a result, we've straight up removed the Raider, rest in peace, and we've added a new class in its place, the Warden. What the [ __ ] this class is largely inspired by its predecessor from the Affliction league, with a few changes. I Lally attacks, changing the behavior of shock, enhancing freeze. Wow, and replacing ignite with Scorch. Wow, there's also a skill that allows you to go ballistic with your Elemental damage periodically. I hate that CL also grants bark skin, which is a skill that can be used to mitigate physical damage from hits. After taking a number of hits, it increases your evasion, making it a great defensive Choice. Finally, specialize in is tenures. Wow, these are an alternative to flasks from

the Affliction League. We're bringing them back with adjusted mechanics. Wow, tentures can be placed in your belt, replacing flasks. You can inherently only have one tincture active at a time, and it requires a melee weapon to use. While activated, they grant a powerful buff. They can drop as magic items or be modified with currency to grant extra bonuses. Here is a prismatic tincture. This one increases Elemental damage by 100% while active. They are rollable. You'll notice it has two extra effects. One is that it applies mana burn every second. Mana burn is a debuff that builds up while tinctures are active, causing you to lose Mana, losing more Mana for each stack. Tinctures also have a cooldown, so once you have disabled one, no other tincture can be enabled for a time. These changes make tincture use a more active and interesting choice than it was in Affliction. Both mana burn and the cooldown can be modified through modifiers on the tinctures or on the passive skill.

tree players will want to maximize their tenture up time for sure. Here we have a couple other tentures. The poison Berry tenture is excellent for poison builds. The rose Thorn tincture is the choice for those wanting to deal critical strikes. You might be wondering with the removal of the radar, where has the frenzy charge investment gone. We've added a frenzy charge passive skill to the Dead Eye, replacing the rupture passive skill. On top classes, we have revisited a number of core mechanics, this time taking pains to ensure easy access through the passive tree, skill gems, and simple items. They're actually usch to be hidden behind layers of complexity be nerfed that much. Let's just rapid fire through the key points. If you want more detail later, you can read the patch notes, which will be dropped after the live stream. Be sure to let us know what you think. There's a lot of changes, so be prepared for a bit of a shock to the system. I expect it will take several days for the dust to settle.

on this one. Wow, firstly, we've made some drastic alterations to melee skills. Let me just rip this Band-Aid off. Melee totem skill gems have been removed. I was hoping for that. We're trying to adopt a philosophy with melee going forward that, unlike other builds, it will be far less oriented around set and forget gameplay. You will deal the damage yourself, and you should be rewarded for doing so. To compensate, we have buffed the damage on almost every single melee skill. As the majority of this damage growth comes from gem levels, we have also made them cost more Mana as they level, but it's nothing like the Mana costs on spells. Here are some examples of the damage and costs before and after. Heavy Strike has gone from dealing 313 attack damage at gem level 20 to a massive 52% attack damage. It's also worth noting it no longer knocks enemies back, and Sweep has gone from dealing 281 attack damage to now dealing 664 per attack damage at gem level 20. These are just two examples, but the majority of melee skills are now dealing

approximately 75% more damage at level 20. Of course, with melee comes close proximity combat, so you need some good defensive options. New base types with higher defensive values will now drop throughout the end game. As you reach yellow, red, and purple maps, you can expect to find higher-tier base types in each. For example, Val Regalia and Hubris Circlet are no longer the best-in-slot items for Energy Shield. There are new base types that surpass them, combined with some quality changes, which we'll talk about soon. Wow, you can now get better items than ever before in these slots. To compensate, we have reduced the amount of flat evasion and armor from the Grace and Determination auras. But overall, you're getting more defenses than before this league. On top of this, we have buffed life modifiers on Magic and Rare equipment. You can now get as high as 189 additional maximum life from a single modifier on body armors, and more on other slots too. I'm waiting for the bad bit though C's hard former glory and again.

gr maximum. I said this yesterday. I mentioned Quality quality on weapons and armors is being changed to apply multiplicatively. In other words, weapons with full quality will give 20% more physical damage, and armor with full quality will have 20% more local defenses. For melee, this will mean a damage increase for almost all builds using physical damage attacks, and it will mean more evasion, armor, energy shield, and Ward for all builds. Endurance charges no longer grant Elemental resistances but instead grant additional Elemental damage reduction, making it multiplicative with resistances. Wow, you can now get 4% per charge alongside the existing 4% physical damage reduction. To compensate, we have made some changes to the Juggernaut and various unique items like Eternal damnation. Uh-oh, you can get more maximum resistance from the tree, specifically around The Marauder class start. These, of course, can stack with the new Elemental mitigation from endurance charges. Still have the one at the bottom too by. On top of this, Jewels can now roll maximum Elemental resistances.

modifi melding hello since we're making Elemental medication more accessible we've heavily reduced accessibility to physical damage taken as chaos or Elemental damage yeah are still around but you should not expect to be getting full conversion anymore all block passives have been buffed so you can now more easily achieve block cap from just the passive tree the Keystone versatile combatant has been improved to have less of a penalty to maximum block okay a number of Life Leach passives have been buffed to generally allow for more acquisition of Maximum leech rate for Life pack has been reinstated to its former glory for instant life Lee but only for melee we've reworked flesh and stone previously this buff skill granted Mame and blind depending on the stance of our character now while in sand stance the skill simply provides damage mitigation becoming more effective the closer you are to enemies wow while in blood STS enemies will take more physical damage the closer you are to them this skill will now greatly favor melee level close

range game play. Given we're doing a calgarian league, Ward has also received a bit of attention. There are new uniques that Grant Ward and the base restoration of Ward is now faster to compensate. Oro's resolve has been nerfed, but War builds will still be possible. Anyway, that was most of the purely defensive changes. Now let's look at some of the offensive and utility-based ones. There are more better ways to deal with Mana as an attacker on the southern hemisphere of the passive tree. It's fantastic. Yeah, wands, daggers, scepters, claws, and staves now have higher Critical Strike chance values than ever. Wands can go as high as 10% without modifiers. Wow, Sandstorm V has been made rarer to compensate. Instead of reducing its power, wow, wand attackers. Wands now have higher attack speed than ever to compensate for their low damage. Wand exclusive skills such as power siphon, kinetic bolt, and kinetic blast now have faster attack times. Impale passives have been revised and in general buffed.

well, that's nice. The buffs granted by war cries are now simpler, but more significant, and more universal to builds. They also now apply to allies by default. Wow! Banners have been reworked. Instead of having a reservation cost, they are now free. However, they don't grant a permanent buff. Banners now need to be placed for the effect to be active. However, once placed, they are far more powerful than before. There are new ways to prolong the effects and more ways to invest in them than ever before. Makes sense. Rage has been made more fundamental and discoverable. Rage is now multiplicative attack damage, but no longer inherently grants attack speed or movement speed. It has a new cap, and you can find many new passive clusters that allow you to invest in the mechanic. The goal is to make rage more powerful as a baseline and less gated behind the use of specific unique items and ascendancy classes. Berserk has been nerfed, just so you're aware. We have changed how bleed works too. You can now find aggravated bleed on the passive tree when applied.

all bleeds on the enemy will deal damage as if the enemy is moving. For the remainder of their duration, the skill and sneering Arrow no longer interact with bleed. So no more will you have to apply bleeds and swap to a bow. You can now achieve the same result using aggravated bleed passives without the annoyance. Rupture from the dead eye has been turned into a support gem. We've added the new overexertion support gym, which highly favors slam builds. Now it's time to look at a Hot Topic: magic find in the cers of calgar expansion. We are going to be removing item quantity bonuses from all character items. This will not affect existing items in standard leagues. I made a huge video about your you can scale once you have achieved the power you want with item quantity being only available on unique items. This meant if you wanted to get the most out of it, you had to be playing a very specific build. We still want people to be able to invest in magic find but now only through item.

Rarity. I was like, there should only be RAR in the G item slots, and by a much larger number of builds. Oh, so good. What about Ventor's Gamble, you might ask? There it is now. Holy [ __ ]. This is one of the biggest. We can't promise that existing builds will all be safe. Even we aren't able to predict all the outcomes here, nor have we even gone into every single change, just the major ones. I don't know, man. Balance is hard, but the sheer number of new viable options is exciting, especially for melee. This is the best thing I've ever. To drag the game in a better direction, be sure to read the patch notes after this. It's going to be a ruckus. Holy [ __ ]. In 324, we overhauled The iname Experience, introducing a new tier of maps and reworking scarabs. We want to continue to improve these systems and introduce more exciting in-game content every League. 325 is no exception. Let's check out the

Myriad of changes coming in Settlers of Calgar. First up, we are changing many scarabs. We won't go into too much detail here to avoid getting lost in the weeds, but here's a few new ones. Be sure to check out the patch notes after this for more detail. We've also added an additional map device slot, which will be unlocked upon completing your first 10-way Maven encounter. This simply allows for more combinations of scarabs and Maps, resulting in more difficulty and more rewards. This is on top of the existing additional slot that can be unlocked by completing your first tier 17 map. There are now six map device slots in total. So cool! You might have seen our teaser where we revealed we'll be adding new special encounters to the end game. One such encounter is the Nameless Sear lurking in tier 16 and 17. This NPC will give you a selection of unique items, and you can pick one for free in tier 16 Maps. He now has an additional feature where you can scry a

map. This allows you to swap the Divination card drops of the current map with another map on your Atlas. Just one caveat: you cannot have the same map be in multiple swaps at the same time. If you want to undo your choice, you can use a Scouring Orb on either map on your Atlas. 

Wow, we've also made some updates to a couple of leagues. Blight has been updated with some Atlas passive skill changes, and double-anointed amulets can now drop in Blight Ravage Maps. We've also introduced a new type of oil that can only drop from Blighted and Blight Ravaged Maps. 

Huh, Ritual has also been updated. You can now find one new and many reworked base types, new unique items, so much slowdowners you can use to raise a spect. Wow, Hyro SP and occasionally a fragment granting access to the King fight from the Affliction League. He will drop a number of unique items that were familiar from the league Joel but not that which was taken as it is.

now that which was taken away. No, however, he now drops a different modular Jewel that you might recognize from the Necropolis league. Oh, this is not as exciting. That's not in TI 17 maps. You can now encounter the Wildwood also from the Affliction league. In case you missed it, the Wildwood is a mysterious forest fraught with danger. In the darkness, you will find magical wisps yearning for freedom. Upon releasing them, they will empower the monsters in your map, promising more danger but more rewards. You may also find random Sentinels on the ground near the start of your Maps sen League. They work in a similar way to before. They aren't items, but you can click on them, and then they can be activated in that area at any time of your choosing. Wow, upon activation, they will buff monsters around you, increasing their difficulty and rewards. Stu, what. And here's one for those who like to live dangerously. You may occasionally find a reflective mist from the Kandra league. It has two outcomes. It could drop a

jewelry item with randomly enhanced or inverted modifier values. Or it can give a reflecting mist item, which can be used on an existing piece of jewelry to perform the same action at a time of your choosing. Tra luck wow wow. There's many other small changes to League content. We're removing the first 15 most boring waves of the simulacrum and rebalancing its rewards to improve the chances of finding unique Jewels. We're also adding some of the beasts from Einhar's memory of Harvest beasts to the Cor. This includes the black Morgan holy. Then other new. We've added a set of new chisel types, which can be applied to your maps to get different bonuses. While the cartographer's Chisel still increases item quantity, there are new ones that now increase Rarity, pack size, increased chance for currency items, divination cards, and scarabs. It's also worth mentioning that chisels now apply 20% quality per chisel to White Maps, 10% to Yellow maps, and 5%.

to Red maps and higher. It's like unique Maps require the full 20 chisels. Also, only one type of chisel can be applied to a map at a time. During 324, we made a change to tier 17 maps that allowed them to be rerolled with chaos orbs. We are now expanding the currency types that can be used on them to also include currencies like chisels and VAR ORS. Ultimately, the only restriction T 17 maps now have is that explicit modifiers cannot be removed from them. We have also revised the difficulty of these Maps as they didn't quite hit the mark. Now the monsters in them have substantially less life and deal less damage, meaning T7 Maps now better fit into the progression between Pinnacle and Uber Pinnacle content. Lastly, we've adjusted the drop rate of Valdo's puzzle boxes. Previously, we were adapting its drop rate based on the possible outcomes selected by supporters. So many supporters really wanted Mage Bloods, so the box was hardly dropping. Thus, we have drastically

increased the drop rate of the box, but reduced the probability of getting Chase unique items from it, like Mage blood. Overall, we have taken care not to reduce the number of Mage Bloods total in the economy. We figured it was better to have more tickets for fun, rather than barely seeing any boxes in the leag. That's fair. I got been hard at work improving the path of experience on Zer. Didn't get a single one with Native ports for the Xbox series consoles already being released, and PS5 on the near Horizon. The game now takes full advantage of the console Hardware. Loading times have been reduced even further. Popping has been reduced, and textures won't start unloading in heavy scenes. Furthermore, overall visual Fidelity has been improved for all new generation consoles. Path of XR now uses the highest available resolution textures and War water effects. We've installed a new upscaling algorithm that improves the crispness of dynamic resolution. With an additional anti-aliasing pass on top of that. With these upgrades, we also support

variable refresh rate TVs and monitors on PlayStation 5 and on all Xbox consoles. In the options, players can now choose which aspect of visual Fidelity they want to focus on: resolution, image quality, or Target frame rate. This is insane. I need to calm down. In 324, we added some new encounters and secrets to the campaign, just the waypoints or inserts of calgar. We're adding even more. We're not going to spoil them all here, but keep an eye out for anything unfamiliar on your adventures. Last time that happened, I got knows what you'll find. I mean, I know, but still. There's an underground bunker underneath the refinery, guarded by powerful robots. I wonder what's been hidden away here. How do I unlock this mysterious door? What riches must lay inside? Blighted growths have appeared in the gardens and sewers of S. Wow, a vault containing riches can be found in the reliquary. As you might have seen in our teasers, there's a slew of quality of

life features we've been working. The most insane here's a quick summary bigger than when we got 10 you'll no longer need to interact with way points to un. You can just walk by and they'll activate automatically. When using keyboard and Mouse you'll be able to pick up items from further away. We're adding static life bars to some bosses. How are we not all bosses will have them just yet but we'll be adding more over time you can now see which divination cards drop in each map by hovering over them on your Atlas when you die you can now resurrect without having to reactivate all your reservation effects like auras and Heralds free game by the way you can start Harvest encounters with just a single action. The amount of quality provided by currency items like wetstones is now based on the item level rather than item Rarity those currencies now apply a 20% quality to very low-level items with that amount reducing as the item level increases next up we're going to be

talking about our new league supporter packs. Well, I don't care what they like buying new series of the Paladin, and I didn't buy the last ones. Each tier contains the packs full face value and points alongside several exclusive microtransactions. These packs are only available for the duration of the settlers of calgar league and will leave the store forever when it ends. Did you buy the last ones? As always, the microtransactions in these packs are purely cosmetic and do not affect your character's power or progression in any way. The Paladin series of supporter packs contains six exclusive microtransactions. [Music] Adorn your weapon or shield with the Paladin weapon effect. Make a show of leveling up with the harpy flyover level up effect. Equip Divine Paladin armor set will periodically cause slain enemies to be consecrated and laid to rest. This set also comes with a matching back attachment. Both the helmet and back attachment have options to display the radiant glow or not. You pick choices. The Divine judgment finisher effect locks on to Unique enemies before

obliterating them with a laser from the heavens stress me out. May your critical H resonate across with the cleric Bell back attachment. Wow, that is the cool friends to spend a day at the races in the vaser race course. Hideout add rowers to the track to race them against each other so buying this. I'm buying this that's so good for that's so good for streamers. The Penance Pack series also has six exclusive microtransactions with the penants back attachment equipped. A repentant soul is chained to your back and lashed with lightning. Ouch, place none other than the Trial Master in your hideout and have him comment on your chaos. Wow, but far fairer now than in ancient times and Val crafting attempts. Your luck is over fo he even keeps a record of how many chaos and vobs you've used in your hideout during the league or across all leagues. Blood stains your armor the more life you lose when wearing the acolytes penants armor.

set the Zealot Madness portal effect fragments as you near it, huh? The Cauldron map device boils Maps fragments and scarabs placed into it, keeping a tally of how many have been thrown into the pot in the current league or across all leagues. That's fun, I like that. The exiled Squire pit following your footsteps, hyping you up for battles, no sweat for you, boss, providing pessimistic commentary, the Rel or voicing their disdain for you to bring you down a peg, about time you kick the bucket. These packs are now available for purchase on both PC and console and will remain so during Path of Exile Settlers of Calgar. Meanwhile, the Solar and Aldrich packs leave the store forever at the launch of Settlers of Calgo league, so now's your last chance to purchase them. Thank you so so much for your ongoing support. Now we have one more thing to announce before getting into the Q&A. We are soon going to be running a small closed beta test for Path of XL2. We have been taking signups for the

path of XL2 beta tests over at path of XR 2.com. We will only be selecting a very limited number of people for this first test, but if you want to make sure that you are considered, then head over to the website and register your email address now. We're just about to start the Q&A with Ziggy D. Afterwards, we'll post Path of Exile Settlers of Calgar full patch notes with release at the end of next week. Our community team will be posting crucial information you'll need for Settlers of Calgar release. Keep an eye on the news on release weekend. We expect to launch the new mystery box and The Season's CarX Vault pass. Thanks for joining us today and checking out our latest developments.

Next week, we'll begin the Q&A shortly, so please get your questions ready. Wait for the patch notes. And they're going to just nerf like Ark Mage and E. I don't.

care. I don't care. I'll bring it like you can nve both of those. I don't care. I'll find something I like this leag holy [ __ ]. I think that was the best. I don't care. I don't. I don't mind if he gets nerfed at all. Not even. Not meing, yeah. Not meing. I don't mind a little bit. In fact, I would prefer it, um, but like this, honestly, this is the best announcement they have ever had. This was better than when they announced 10 10 nights.
