@circaen56882 @gfish4812 @gurthmaster @ds_lily_ Right. It’s not that Div’s are worth more. It’s that Chaos are worth less.

There’s not as much this league as there was previously, that takes chaos out of the system. That means there’s more supply, and less demand for them.

Unless you’re doing the “chaos recipe”, it’s fine.

Path of Exile 3.28 Mirage league - more like an expansion tbh - Insane amount of content and changes

FULL atlas rework
- Map system is integrated into the atlas. Think Waystones from PoE 2 but without the annoying moving of the atlas & pathing around for towers
- They are just.. maps now. You can put them on any layout on your atlas, and just run the same map 100 times, or change layouts, without having to favorite a new layout or having to buy 100 specific maps
- New Astrolabes - atlas mechanic that places a blob on your atlas with escalating rewards as you clear the maps and consume the blob. Insane potential for juicing
- Chisels removed, but that 20% quality we lost is now added to all maps by default and is actually buffed to 25%, once you complete your atlas
- Maven chisels remain, most of their values are halved, but you only need 1 per map
- T17 maps became Nightmare maps, and are more focused on uber boss fragments, like T17s were originally designed to be, can't astrolabe them
- Lots of bad T17 (and T16.5) mods removed, such as 3 sec invulnerability every 10 sec, action speed reduction, Awakener's desolation, remove %es/life on hit - HUGE W

New Mirage mechanic
- In map juice mechanic, kill mobs, go into the mirage (same part of the map, everything is doubled in the mirage, including league mechanics), think Scourge but local
- Once you clear the "overworld" part of the mirage, you get a wish - think Sanctum boon for the "underworld" part of the mirage. League mechanics copied by the mirage might differ from their overworld counterparts
- New catalyst from Miraged Ultimatums - prefix / suffix quality
- There will be a way to mirage your entire map 🤯

- 26 new uniques (13, but you can restore them, turning them into new versions) 8 new divination cards, 10 new rune grafts
- 40 new Exceptional gems, some of which are replacing the existing Awakened gem system
- Foulborn uniques going core, couple of them with some nerfs
- New holy skills and reworked some holy archetype skills
- 138 total atlas passive points (up from 132)
- You can now kill Elder and Shaper for your Uber Elder voidstone (if you want, Uber Elder still works)
- New Scion ascendancy, will change every league
- Memory strands are now itemized so you can run them whenever you want

Ground loot
- Issues acknowledged, currency drops doubled (weighted towards to higher end currencies)
- It will get a more of a look for next patch - but with all the juicing changes coming this league I'm honestly not worried atm

Keepers-Breach goes core
- Genesis tree fully unlocked
- Walls deleted by damage
- Nodes on the tree & new breach scarabs let you customize which encounter types you get, potential difficulty and reward juicing in hives

- Harbingers removed. They will come back (hopefully better)
- Fractured orbs, upgraded Harbinger uniques added to core drop pool. Harbinger and Horizon orbs removed
- Blessed orbs will reroll Shaper/Elder maps

Settlers changes
- Swapped Ore and Crop rewards from shipping (Ore grants currency now, good, you actually have to play instead of AFK crop farm for free currency)
- Mappers gold wage increased by 25%
- You can reroll port bonuses, and they are more impactful than before

- Int stacking nerfed, expected

Q&A was awesome probably the best yet. Loved having Mark and @OctavianZilch explain stuff, really good vibes. @ZiggyDStarcraft did a great job as usual.

Honestly really hype reveal stream @pathofexile LOGIN

@wizards_magic What an adventure! You’re well on your way to being a great planeswalker

[Ben Ingram @Magpye1983]

@GhazzyTV @Fubgun What’s the best spectres for this league? Anything new?

[Ben Ingram @Magpye1983]

@Fubgun Is 70% only taking into account the damage nerf, or the speed nerf, the added damage effectiveness nerf, and the projectiles nerf too?

The mana cost nerf won’t come into damage calculations, but should be remembered too.

[Ben Ingram @Magpye1983]

@DelboyBel @empyriangaming “Something” you say? Hmmm… Yeah I think you’ve cracked it.

[Ben Ingram @Magpye1983]

@empyriangaming My eye was drawn to the empty square slot, thinking “isn’t that just a heist trinket slot?”.

Then I saw them.

[Ben Ingram @Magpye1983]

@aer0ttv @pathofexile Has Bex started working for GGG again? I thought she finished like… a year or so ago??

[Ben Ingram @Magpye1983]

@Operator_Zion @pathofexile I would be if I weren’t at work. Act 10 is started, but not finished, so I’ve still got plenty to play for this league.

[Ben Ingram @Magpye1983]

@jk_rowling If they were male, they wouldn’t be trans women.

You’re a writer. You know that things can change. Imagine a teacher gets a job and decides to make some of the students into an authoritarian hitsquad, and names them head-students. “If they were students, they wouldn’t be head”

[Ben Ingram @Magpye1983]

@doctordieyoung @julez_milo @NeverSinkDev Plus overcapping resists by approx 50 is usually enough. Movement speed or life isn’t like that.

[Ben Ingram @Magpye1983]

@pathofexile Ghazzy’s all over this tease, as I had hoped :)

Loving the ramp up of hype that’s happened recently.

[Ben Ingram @Magpye1983]

@MattWallace888 Almost everyone had their mouth open. Not talking, or eating. Just idling slackly.

[Ben Ingram @Magpye1983]

@AInspiringLight @pwntnub @pathofexile GGG have stated contrary to this, several times.

[Ben Ingram @Magpye1983]

@GhazzyTV Auto correct made de-summoned into few-summoned, somehow.

[Ben Ingram @Magpye1983]

@GhazzyTV What about a difference between *de-summon* and *death*. A few-summoned spectre could revert to its corpse (if the area allows corpses), whereas a death would destroy the corpse.
