0.2.0h Patch Features

• Private leagues
  You’ll soon be able to spin up fresh, self contained economies on the Path of Exile 1 site, perfect for starting over solo or with friends.
• New stash tabs
  Two store bought tabs are on the way: one to hold your Ritual Omens and Audience With the King fragments, the other for Runes, Talismans and Soul Cores with an upgrade on click button built in.
• Quick use currency buttons
  Strongboxes and Essences now sport context sensitive buttons (for example, Orb of Transmutation on a normal Strongbox or Vaal Orb on an Essence) so you can apply currency in one click.

Here's a preview:

Balance and Bug Fixes

• Breach improvements
  Monster spawns in tight areas have been overhauled, the minimum breach timer is now 20 seconds (up from 12), and time extensions scale with Monster Power. i.e. the timer will extend proportionally to the monster rarity. At the end you’ll vacuum up all Splinters you’ve earned, and will drop them at your feet once the Breach closes.
• Azmerian wisp changes
  Activating a second Wisp now always tracks the same Rare monster, and the Spring Hare and Fox spirits drop three times more often.
• Rogue exile visibility
  Rogue Exiles will show up on screen before you see their health bar, and they now glow and get a minimap icon when you engage them.
• Loot drop tweaks
  Perfect Jeweller’s Orbs and Level 20 Uncut Gems will appear more frequently, and key items like Precursor Tablets and Expedition Logbooks now have outlined labels in Endgame.
• Shrine overhaul
  Greed and Corrupting Shrines are gone, while rarer Diamond and Divine Shrines spawn more often and last up to 90 seconds.
• Miscellaneous fixes
  Includes bindable keys for allocating passive tree attributes, corridor skill visibility for Arbiter of Ash, Flask Affinity Charms, a Town quick travel button, Ctrl+Right Click bulk move for currency, an Unidentified Item Tier filter, and around fifteen crash fixes.

Release Dates

• Live servers: by the end of this week (mid May 2025)

Summary

The 0.2.0h Patch Promises more Atlas changes and endgame improvements coming in the near future, signaling that they are not done improving the base experience of Path of Exile 2's 0.2 Patch. If you have any feedback or requests, let GGG know what you think on the official forums!
