I'm playing SSF btw

I need a stupid T4 unique that I haven't managed to drop (I did drop the ONLY OTHER UNIQUE WITH THE SAME BASE THANK YOU GGG -well at least this means that I can guarantee the one I need if I get an Ancient orb, right?- edit: no, Ancient Orb keeps class and ignores base, so I can vendor the one I dropped OK) or chance.

I missed a few years of PoE, so reading around it seems like trying Gwennen gambling is (or was) a good way to farm T1-T0, so I guess it should work for lower tiers as well? But is there a better way that you can suggest?

I'm at my wits' end, since I'm level 87 and I haven't managed to get it yet, absolutely my fault I know, but if I can't get it "soon" I will probably migrate to Trade league and buy it for 3c lol

I have a very old CPU and without multithreading I get abysmal FPS in certain encounters like Breach (which I'm farming), couple of times I hit 1 FPS, and average like 10 FPS, which often kills me.

Multithreading + Vulkan crashes the game with an engine error that apparently has no fix; DX12/11 crash the game as soon as I pick either. I think I'm running PoE with the latest ProtonGE. Any way to make it work? I don't really care about graphics at this point, if I can get 30+ stable FPS in Breaches I'm happy lol

edit:

• nVidia GPU and latest stable GPU drivers
• updated PoP! OS

What do you think about the new stuff of the league? How is Kingsmarch doing? How's your progress with your build?

Round 10 was just 5 chaos. I quit at round 9 and walked away with my divine orb.

Over the weekend, we launched Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur. We’re pleased to report that deployment went extremely smooth on PC with only a few issues that we were able to hotfix relatively quickly! We also hit a new record peak for concurrent players at 350,000! We are closely monitoring feedback and reports and will continue to update our Live Updates post with any hotfixes and updates.

Unfortunately there were some pretty major issues with our console release which were resolved several hours after launch.

We know you’ve all been busy finding ores, collecting gold and upgrading Kingsmarch so you might not have had time to check out all the clips from all of the amazing content creators! We’ve gathered some of our favourite highlights from the weekend for you to check out.

Though many many shipments we have tested and pretty well solved the base mechanics of the Shipping in Settlers of Kalguur - here's how to get the rewards you want and to scale the currency and loot you get back from your shipments!

UPDATES: Port level may play a role in determining a minimum level for favored requests. Based on Steelmage not doing any fulfillments and then going from port 1 to 11 in one go and then first refreshing updating to a large request size. Looks like a built in catch up mechanic for juicers, makes sense so they aren't stuck doing tiny shipments for days to catch up. I wonder if there is a upper limit to trade value of requests based on your port level?

xkcd | 1172: Workflow

This is my first league in years and I decided to try SSF for the first time, I'm building a pretty standard ED/Contagion Occultist that I plan to spec to Low Life if I manage to chance/drop the needed uniques (four unique pieces: Cane of Unravelling, Heretic's Veil, Shavronne's Wrappings and Presence of Chayula), of which only the amulet should be difficult to obtain since I need to drop a Blessing of Chayula, but the Atlas Passive should help with targeting Breach encounters... hopefully!

Still in acts and unfortunately I'm not dropping any "+1 to gems" equip, so damage is a bit lacking at the moment, but survivability is good and I'm moving forward at a decent pace!

What about you?

Private Leagues for Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur are now available!

Those of you who are planning to play in a Private Settlers League at launch are now able to create them beforehand. Click here to set up your Private League (don't forget to double check the start time of your league upon creating)! Please note that you won't be able to participate in these events until they officially launch on July 26th (PDT).

My stash tabs are saved

I'll be trying SSF for the first time next league and I'm looking for a guide, though not a full-fledged one, but something more akin to small tips and tricks to have an easier time in SSF, how to build your character to accomodate whatever equip you drop or manage to craft, for example.

I was planning on playing ED Occultist as it can get pretty tanky with decent clear speed even on just rares, but the uniques I'm looking at can get chanced which would be a welcome addition.

My main doubt is about six-linking... should I just abandon the idea? lol I remember trying several times and it always took a pretty hefty amount of fusings, though I've been always lucky since the one that took the most was just shy of 1000, which is something in trade league, but I bet it will be much more difficult to accrue in SSF

> Background #PoE (Path of Exile) is an ARPG similar to Diablo 2/3/4 or Last Epoch.

We're in the third month of the Necropolis League and you may be wondering about the timeline for our next expansion. In today's news post we'd like to give a short update on that matter.

We're currently looking at a late July release for the 3.25 expansion. Like the Necropolis expansion, we expect the 3.25 launch to happen simultaneously on PC and Consoles. This means that you have plenty of time to complete your challenges in the ongoing Necropolis League if you were planning on doing so.

We'll reveal all the details live during the GGG Live event around the middle of July. Stay tuned!

During Playstation's State of Play Showcase, we announced our console plans for Path of Exile 2. Check out the trailer below!

Path of Exile 2 introduces an exciting new feature: couch co-op. It is something we have wanted to do for a long time. Action RPGs are a genre that are way more fun with friends, and it’s even better when you can play in the same room together!

Path of Exile 2 is also introducing full cross-play and cross-progression on all supported platforms. Play with your friends on other platforms, or move from console to PC without losing any progress!

Watch the deep-dive video below to learn more about Path of Exile 2 on consoles as well as improvements we're making to new users' experience.

While the new Early Access date for Path of Exile 2 is still to be announced, you can expect it to start simultaneously on multiple platforms by the end of this year. Stay tuned!

Our Senior Narrative Designer, Matt, has taken a moment to reflect on writing for Necropolis League. Here are his thoughts.

---

Many have noticed that the lore of Necropolis league is a bit different. I always try to do something different or experimental with each new addition, and this time, when faced with the art for an old undertaker, I asked the question, "What if this guy doesn't want to tell you what he's up to?"

Almost immediately, his personality came into focus. Compared to the last few leagues, where the Karui or the Maji had a spotlight and it was a rare opportunity to deep dive into those cultures, here we encounter a man who is intentionally very cagey and evasive. He even catches himself when he starts to monologue, and cuts himself off. At other times, if he realizes he's accidentally said a little too much, he rambles and diverts. 'Zoomy' players are his best friends. He actually prefers you just keep killing and don't ask questions.

And yet, if you're really perceptive or dedicated, you can start to piece together some idea of what he's doing, who he is loyal to, and where he might fit in the world of Wraeclast. This kind of subversion was quite fun to write—especially the easter eggs—but I'll take a cue from Arimor and remain cryptic on this one. I do have to give a shoutout to our amazing voice actor, Cameron Rhodes, who brought Undertaker Arimor to life—no pun intended. Arimor's voice and mannerisms feel right out of classic horror films, perfect for a man who hangs around in a graveyard doing nefarious things. Just like the Undertaker himself, I'll leave the rest up to your imagination.
