Content Update 3.23.0 -- Path of Exile: Affliction

The Affliction Challenge League

Challenge leagues are a great opportunity for a fresh start in a new economy. All of your old characters and items are still present in the Standard and Hardcore leagues, but you're encouraged to join the new leagues, complete challenges and demonstrate your mastery of Path of Exile!
In the Affliction Challenge League, you will encounter Sacred Wisps which beckon you to enter overgrown passageways that lead to the Viridian Wildwood. A vile affliction has covered this forest with a foreboding darkness. You'll need to uncover the forest's mysteries to put a stop to the source of the Affliction.
The wisps burn away the forest's affliction when you approach the darkness, though they have limited power. Discover other types of wisps trapped inside the darkness, follow their trail by collecting them, and uncover many different secrets.
When the sacred wisps run out of energy, they return you to where you came from, along with any other wisps you collected. These wisps, having been saved from the affliction, disperse into the environment and inhabit randomly chosen monsters in the area, increasing their power, and also their rewards.
While exploring the Wildwood, you might find some of the last few Azmeri wanderers who have managed to survive in the forest since it was cursed. Each of them have different survival specialisations, and they are willing to teach you if you agree to help them defeat the source of the Affliction: the King in the Mists.
For more information about this expansion, check out pathofexile.com/affliction.
With 3.23.0, there are Standard, Hardcore, Solo Self-Found and Ruthless variations of the Affliction challenge league available. They have the same core mechanics and items. You can create private league versions of these leagues, with mods that make the game harder.
The new Affliction challenge league includes a set of 40 new challenges, and 8 new challenges in Ruthless Affliction. There are microtransaction rewards for completing challenges that are only obtainable in this league. These rewards will be revealed in an upcoming news post.

Ultimatum Changes

Ultimatum has been added to the core game, replacing Metamorph. You will have approximately an 8% chance to find the Trialmaster and his Trials of Chaos in Maps.
Ultimatum Encounters are now 10 rounds by default, though I sincerely hope you intend to last longer than 2 rounds.
You now have a chance to be teleported to The Trialmaster's Arena for the 10th round in areas with a level of 81 or higher, rather than this being guaranteed.
Ultimatum modifiers have been rebalanced, some new modifiers have been added and some previous modifiers have been removed.
Ultimatum modifiers that previously had 3 tiers of difficulty, such as Stormcaller Runes, now have 4 tiers of difficulty.
Monsters in Ultimatum Encounters no longer drop loot, other than The Trialmaster, though they still grant experience.
Added a new Tainted Catalyst that can be obtained from the Trialmaster. It applies a random quality type and amount of quality to a Corrupted Ring, Amulet or Belt, and replaces other quality types.
Catalysts are now rewards from Ultimatum, and are affected by Map Item Quantity.
Vaal Aspects, previously known as Ultimatum Aspects, combine into a new Unique Jewel instead of the The Tower of Ordeals Map.
The Tower of Ordeals Unique Engraved Ultimatum Map can no longer be opened in a Map Device.
You can once again vendor 5 Inscribed Ultimatums for a new Inscribed Ultimatum.
Added a round count display between rounds in Ultimatum Encounters.
Kirac can now offer Map Missions to complete an Ultimatum, replacing Missions for constructing and slaying a Metamorph.

Mysterious Incubators can no longer drop Catalysts.
Metamorph rewards from Heist, Expedition, Betrayal, Delirium, Legion and Eldritch Altars have been replaced with Ultimatum rewards.
Existing Amorphous Delirium Orbs will be replaced with Challenging Delirium Orbs, which add layers of Delirium with the Ultimatum Item rewards type to Maps. This is the only source of Challenging Delirium Orbs, these are unobtainable as item drops or from any other source.
Existing Morphing Incubators will be replaced with Challenging Incubators, which can be added to an equippable item, dropping an Ultimatum Item after killing a certain amount of Monsters. This is the only source of Challenging Incubators, these are unobtainable as item drops or from any other source.
Expedition Remnant modifiers in Expedition sites that grant Runic Monsters and Chests a chance to drop Catalysts have been replaced with modifiers that drop Heist Contracts instead.
Reduced the amount of Catalysts obtained from Heist Chests, Expedition Chests, Betrayal Chests, and Vaal Unique Strongboxes, as well as the amount of Catalysts offered by Tujen.
Metamorph Scarabs have been replaced with Ultimatum Scarabs. Each Scarab guarantees an Ultimatum encounter in an Area, with higher-tier Scarbs granting increased Experience from Ultimatum Monsters, or causing Ultimatum Encounters to grant additional rewards as though you completed additional rounds. Existing Metamorph Scarabs will be converted to Ultimatum Scarabs.
The Metamorph Map Crafting Option and Metamorph Sextant modifiers have been replaced with Ultimatum versions.
The 5 Metamorph clusters on the Atlas Passive Tree have been replaced with Ultimatum Clusters.
Added a new Ultimatum Cluster which contains the Face The Ultimatum Notable Passive. This Notable provides your maps with a +15% chance to contain an Ultimatum Encounter, while the 3 small Passives in this cluster each provide your maps with a +5% chance to contain an Ultimatum Encounter.
Added a new Ultimatum Cluster which contains the Prove Yourself Worthy and Stand Your Ground Notable Passives. The 7 small Passives in this cluster either cause Ultimatum Encounters in your Maps to spawn 8% increased number of Monsters, your Maps to have +5% chance to contain an Ultimatum Encounter, or Ultimatum Monsters in your Maps to grant 10% increased Experience.
The Prove Yourself Worthy Notable Passive causes Ultimatum Modifiers in your Maps to start a Tier higher if possible, and causes Ultimatum Rewards in your Maps to have a 25% chance to be duplicated. The Stand Your Ground Notable Passive causes Ultimatum Encounters in your Maps to get 3% reduced Radius each Round, and also causes them to grant rewards as though you completed an additional Round.

The Protect The Altar Notable Passive causes Ultimatum Encounters in your Maps to have 100% increased chance to require you to protect the Altar, and Ultimatum Altars in your Maps to have 50% increased Life. The small Passive prior causes Ultimatum Altars in your Maps to have 25% increased Life.
Added a new Ultimatum Cluster that contains the Gruelling Gauntlet Keystone, as well as the Worthy of the Past, Worthy of the Present, and Worthy of the Future Notable Passives. The 6 small Passives in this cluster each cause Ultimatum Rewards in your Maps to have a 10% increased chance to be Inscribed Ultimatums.
The new Gruelling Gauntlet Keystone Passive causes Ultimatum Encounters in your Maps to last 3 additional Rounds, but makes it so you cannot choose which Ultimatum Modifier is applied each Round, and cannot have a Boss in the final Round.
The Worthy of the Past Notable Passive causes Inscribed Ultimatums found in your Maps to have 50% increased chance to reward Unique Items, and Ultimatum Rewards in your Maps to have 50% increased chance to be Unique Items.

Accelerating and Unstable Catalysts can now be obtained from Catalyst sources outside of Ultimatum encounters.

Transfigured Gems

Alternate quality gems, labyrinth helmet enchantments and unique threshold jewels are all systems that were trying to subtly modify the behaviour of skills. With this expansion these have been combined into a new system called Transfigured Gems that allows us to fully achieve the goal of these three systems, and then some.
Transfigured Gems are alternate versions of existing skill gems that have different functionality and balance than their regular versions. We have added many of these, with interesting variations that drastically change how existing skills play.
Some existing skill gems have had stats or interactions removed from the base gem and moved to the Transfigured versions to provide more focused support for pre-existing alternate playstyles.
The Divine Font at the end of the Eternal Labyrinth is now a gem crafting device that can modify your skill and support gems by turning them into Transfigured Gems, add Quality or Experience to Gems, or sacrifice a Gem for one or more Treasure Keys to open Izaro's Chests.
A substantial amount of damage-dealing skills have had their quality stats buffed. In most cases they will be significantly more powerful than before, and also more interesting. Many supports have also received changes to their quality stats.
The vendor recipe for turning a Level 20 Gem into a 20% Quality Level 1 version of that Gem no longer works with Skill Gems, as the benefit Quality provides to damage dealing Skills is now more powerful. The vendor recipe can now only be used with non-Awakened Support Gems.

Anomalous, Divergent and Phantasmal Quality Gems have been removed from the game. Existing alternate Quality Gems now have the base Quality effect found on the respective Gem.
Prime and Secondary Regrading Lenses can no longer be obtained. Existing items will be deleted upon logging in.
Tainted Blessings can no longer be obtained, and existing items will be deleted upon logging in.
The following Divination Cards have been temporarily disabled: Divine Justice, Doryani's Epiphany, Dying Anguish, Terrible Secret of Space, The Blessing of Moosh, and The Hook. Existing Divination Cards cannot be turned in currently.
Grand Spectrum Unique Jewels no longer drop from Izaro's Treasure Chests at the end of the Labyrinth. They can now drop from Labyrinth Troves and Emperor's Vaults found throughout Merciless and Eternal Labyrinths.
Imperial Delirium Orbs can no longer be obtained.
Maps that have an Imperial Delirium Orb applied to them, or existing Maps with one of these already applied, will always award an Offering to the Goddess.
Mysterious Incubators can no longer award Enchanted Items.
Enchanted Incubators can no longer drop, and existing items always award an Offering to the Goddess.
Labyrinth rewards can no longer be obtained from other league content.
Logbook Remnants that cause Runic Monsters or Chests to have a chance to drop an Enchanted Item now provide a chance to drop Ritual Splinters instead.
Tora's Betrayal Fortification Safehouse rewards are now chests of Quality Gems, and her Transportation reward is now a Trapped Stash of Gems.
Vorici's Betrayal Transportation Safehouse rewards now Reforge the colours of, number of, or links between sockets on an item 50 times, using the outcome with the greatest number of less-common socket colours, sockets, or linked sockets respectively.
Leo's Betrayal Research Safehouse reward is now a Trapped Stash.
In order to replace the rewards in Heist that previously gave alternate quality gems, we have done a rebalance of the rewards of Heist as well.
Grand Heist Rewards no longer differ based on type of Blueprint Area.
The Rewards from Chests in Grand Heists, Jobs required, and required Job Level are still influenced by Blueprint Area.
The Thief's Trinket Slot is now unlocked when you first pick up a Thief's Trinket on that character, rather than in Underbelly or Smuggler's Den Blueprints.
Some of the more common but very low value Currencies are no longer offered as rewards at the end of Grand Heists.
Increased the stack size of Currency offered as rewards at the end of Grand Heists.
The Endless Misery, Soul's Wick and Spirit Guard's Unique Jewels can no longer be obtained, as benefits these provided are now found on Transfigured Skill Gems. The vendor recipes for Dead Reckoning, Spirit Guards and Endless Misery have also been removed.
The Anima Stone Unique Jewel no longer has "+1 to maximum number of Summoned Golems", though existing versions of this item are unaffected by this change. Golem builds should now be less dependent on this Jewel to be effective, and instead have Transfigured Skill Gems available that serve a similar purpose.
The Dead Reckoning Unique Jewel no longer has "Minions have +7-10% to all Elemental Resistances" or "With at least 40 Intelligence in Radius, Summon Skeletons can Summon up to 15 Skeleton Mages." It now causes Skeletons to gain Added Chaos Damage equal to 20-30% of Maximum Energy Shield on your Equipped Shield. This change only affects new versions of this item.
Many Experimented Base Types and some Replica Uniques have also received changes, these can be found in the Item Balance and Unique Balance sections respectively.
While Transfigured Gems are not detailed here, changes made to base Skill Gems as a result of Transfigured Gems being added are detailed below.

It now provides Versatile Combatant, and +20% chance to Block Attack Damage. This change does not affect existing items.
The Replica Bitterdream Unique Sceptre now causes Socketed Gems to be Supported by level 15 Elemental Penetration (previously level 1). This change affects existing items, though they will have an incorrect description unless a Divine Orb is used on them.
