Updated League Starters
Endgame Guides Sunset
It is unfortunate that we must announce the discontinuation of the endgame build guide section on the Maxroll Path of Exile branch. Our learnings have shown that players are seeking solid league starters that remain viable in the endgame. As a result, we have taken steps to enhance the endgame sections of our league starter guides, ensuring they provide even more comprehensive support for players progressing through the game's most challenging content
New League Starters
Picking a build can be one of the hardest parts of a new league in Path of Exile, it's often overwhelming, so our guides walk you through the leveling process and gearing using Milestones! For Settlers of Kalguur, we've updated our existing League Starters and added several new options, including some of the hot new meta league start builds!
Chaos Minion Army Necromancer
The Chaos Poison Zoomancer & Minion Army Necromancer is one of the strongest minion builds around.
With its multiple defensive layers, high life recovery and strong defenses from an early stage of the game, very few other minion builds can compete with defensively.
Even with all these defensive layers it still packs a large punch with high chaos damage and poison damage that you scale all the way into the end game.
When you want to control an army of minions this is the build for you.
Ice Shot of Penetration Deadeye
The Ice Shot of Penetration Miner Deadeye League Starter makes use of the recently added Ice Shot of Penetration skill to add massive screen clear and single target overlaps with the Fury Valve amulet.
This build was designed to start a fresh league with, meaning it can start from having no currency and clear most if not all the content. It is a great mapper with enough damage to take down all of the end game bosses. If you want a build that clears the whole screen and can burst down bosses, stick around for the rest of the guide!
Lacerate Gladiator
Are you looking for a very tanky build that deals enough damage to defeat any boss and clears maps using one of the most fun mechanics in the game: Bleed Explosions? Then Lacerate Gladiator is perfect for you!
In maps you just Shield Charge around and attack monsters to make them explode. And while bossing you apply a strong bleed and dodge when you need to, with no worries about damage uptime.
The low starting budget of this build makes it perfect for league starting either in a trade league or SSF. The tankyness makes it one of the best builds for Hardcore as well.
Lightning Strike Deadeye
The Lightning Strike of Arcing Deadeye is a league start viable all around build, capable of going from the the Campaign all the way to beating the pinnacle endgame bosses and taking on the most difficult maps the Atlas of Worlds has to offer.
The build excels at clearing fast and killing tough enemies thanks to the Deadeye Ascendancy which provides great damage and speed making this one of the fastest and most well rounded mapping builds in the game.
Currency Guides & Resources
There are far-reaching changes to both Crafting and Currency as part of the Settlers of Kalguur League. From using Kingsmarch for runecrafting and recombination to new Scarabs and atlas strategies.
Currency
We've gone through our existing currency guides and updated them based on our testing last league and theorycrafting about what is to come, but as our Team explores the new Scarabs we'll update the guide!
Resources
There's a lot changing in Settlers of Kalguur, PoE is finally getting an auction house (of sorts) and you can use Gold for respecs, here are a few guides to help you navigate the changes:
Remember to use the Pin Post feature on your favorite guides to be notified when a new update rolls in!
PoExchange
Since the start of the PoExchange, C3ntrax has been hard at work fixing bugs, pushing updates and adding new features. He has put an immense amount of time and effort into improving the tool ahead of the 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur update so here are some highlights of recently added features and things to look forward to. In short, the whole design of the app has been reworked!
New Features
- Reworked the entire map category to add new very exciting subcategories.
- These categories are 8 Mod Maps, Normal Maps, Blighted & Blight-Ravaged Maps, Conqueror Maps, Elder Maps, Shaper Maps, T17 Maps and Unique Maps!
- For normal maps T1-T16 with a distinction according to "Unmodifiable (UM)" which means Mirrored/Corrupted.
- Corrupted/Mirrored Blighted & Blight-Revaged Map can't be listed.
- Added Inscribed Ultimatums.
- Added Alva temples.
- Added regex support for all kinds of maps except unique maps, this works similar to PoE's in-game regex.
- Alva temples are also supported.
- This regex support comes especially for 8 Mod Maps and Normal Maps to sell these easily, which allows you to paste this regex in-game to easily select what you want.
- If you don't allow buyers to buy your maps with a listing, then the buyer is not able to filter your stash tabs and highlight items so you can sell them randomly.
- Added the ability to split your 8 Mod Maps and Normal maps into further rows (splitting) and allows you to select custom prices for maps.
- This splitting is done by selecting mods like rarity or quantity and many others.
- For example selecting 120% quantity allows you to split your each row into two rows like one row < 120% and the other > 120%.
- If you select items with the advanced filter (previously item filter) then the maps with the lowest price will be selected first until it fits your selected quantity.
- Stash views are now supported for all pages where you can see PoE items.
- Stash view are designed to help you to get an overview of the requested stash tabs and to highlight items especially with in-game like regex filtering.
- The trade notification you'll receive has a button to open a new page.
- With this, you don't have to look at the items in the whisper message any longer!
- You can see the items the buyer wants to buy in a table and your stash view next to it
- Use the stash view and the table to grab the items.
- Especially is someone wants to buy maps and you allowed regex, you can see the items which match the regex and copy the regex to your in-game search.
- If the buyer deselected or lowered the items but matched the regex you will notice this. There is a big red X to let you know.
- Update your listing afterwards on this page, which removes all the items from your listing.
- With this page you don't have to update your listings the hard way and change your zone or wait ca. 6 min to get the latest items from the GGG API.
- You can drag & drop columns now. Click & hold the column and you will to see when you can move the column.
- This regex support is now supported for all table search inputs.
- The table now has much more space to show all columns and its content.
- Added popovers to the props column to explain the different properties. Price properties define the price calculation for the base price. Category properties are used to create custom groups made for this category. Custom properties come from your custom groups for 8 mod maps and normal maps.
- You can click item names or stash tab names to highlight the items within the stash view and vice versa.
- Added tooltips to the buttons of "next" and "previous" page, indicating that you can use hotkeys for navigation (left and right arrow).
- If you click a cell in the category column of the bulk trade listings table, then the category & subcategory will be selected.
- Reworked the whisper message system which include the properties of the column "props" in their message.
- Reworked the navigation of the page to manage the additional pages. Added a homepage as well!
- NOTE: This isn't live yet but will be pushed in the Services update.
- Added free text support for the advanced filter. With this you are able to select all options for a single filter which matches your search.
- Increased the maximum multiplier to 300% that people are able to select higher prices.
- If you have custom prices the multiplier is different as the selected multiplier, for this you will see the real calculated multiplier which disables the post button if it goes over 300%.
- All changes to listings are saved in the browser which saves time and $$$.
Services
The biggest upcoming feature is the addition of Services to PoExchange, so let's take a minute to look more closely at how this works. The services work by logging vouches from unique users to make for the fairest system possible. This is to avoid one person repeatedly buying a service from their friend to inflate vouch numbers and make the account appear trustworthy. C3ntrax plans for the services section to go live on Friday with the new League.
As a Buyer
- Filter the table by selecting a service category.
- Whisper the seller in-game to buy the service.
- Alternatively, you can join a global room to get invited if a seller is interested and ready to sell the service to you.
As a Seller
- Select the services you want to sell and set the price for the service.
- Define different prices for boss killing for your map or the buyer's map.
- Let the buyer whisper you or use this tool to manage and invite buyers.
More Updates Soon
You can stay up to date with everything being added to PoExchange using the Dev Updates channel in the PoExchange discord!
