Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur brings multiple quality of life updates and some surprising balance changes, in case there's anything you missed from the teasers so far here's a quick refresher going over everything teased so far!
Item Pickup Range Increase
Item pickup range is now larger on PC matching the controller radius. Your character now collects items in a significantly larger radius, making it easier to loot your map without dying to that random detonate dead explosion you didn't see!
Pinnacle and Act Boss Static Life Bar
The Path of Exile 2 boss life bars are coming to Path of Exile 1 in the 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur update! Now you can easily see how much health a Pinnacle or Act Boss has left by looking at the top of your screen.
Item Quality Buff & Quality Currency Update
The amount of quality provided by Chisels and other quality modifying currency now scales with ilevel instead of item rarity. This makes it easy to get your items to 20% quality while leveling, while still making it more of an investment to hit 20% quality on high ilevel gear or Uniques.
In addition the effects of quality are now multiplicative! This is a significant buff to the effect of quality. For example on a tyrannical weapon in the past 20% quality took the bonus from 179% increased physical damage (IPD) to 199% IPD. Now it takes it from 179% IPD to 215%! The more bonuses to damage or defenses on the item the greater effect this has.
Automatic Waypoints
Your waypoints now activate automatically as you approach them. No more backtracking into the acts because you forgot that one waypoint on the way to Kitava!
One Click Harvest
Activate Harvest with one click! In case Harvest has grown on you since release you no longer need to click once to activate the pump then again to activate the monsters. Now upon selecting your desired crop the encounter automatically starts. Good luck against those crabs, they hurt!
Heralds & Auras Persist Through Death
In Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur, your Auras and Heralds persist through death! No more dying on your aura stacker only to spend 5 minutes re-enabling every aura, simply walk back into the map and prepare to die again.
Prismatic Oils & New Secret Anoints
The "Prismatic Oil" is a newly introduced Blight Oil, available exclusively in Blighted and Blight Ravaged maps. All secret notables will now require this new Oil. Secret Anoints are generally more specialized than regular notables, and can sometimes be enabling for specific builds. Additionally, many new notables have been added to this pool, with two already teased:
Reveal Soon
