Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where Fortify Mastery '2% reduced Duration of Ailments inflicted on you per Fortification' did not apply to Bleed/Poison on you and instead affected your Bleed/Poison duration on enemies.
• Fixed a bug where Replica Dragonfang's Flight could generate with a blank gem entry. These amulets were attempting to grant +3 levels to "Null" gem, thereby doing nothing. These amulets now instead grant +3 levels to Kinetic Fusillade.
• Fixed a bug where the experience progression of Kinetic Rain and Kinetic Rain of Impact was incorrectly set to that of a gem starting at required level 12 and not 28.
• Fixed a bug where using currency in maps, such as on Strongboxes and Essences, could use currency from your Map Device Rucksack.
• Omen of Amelioration and Omen of Bequeathal are no longer consumed on death in situations where you would not lose experience for dying.
• Fixed a bug where effects from the player that converted monster Physical Damage to an element were also increasing the amount of damage from that element based on the percentage of Physical Damage converted and the monster's level. This would have affected Elementalist's Shaper of Flames Passive, Pyroshock Clasp Unique Belt, and Kaom's Binding Unique Belt.
• Fixed a bug where some Ignites inflicted by a handful of endgame bosses were dealing up to 2-3 times the damage they should be. The affected bosses were: The Enslaver, Sasan the Bandit Lord, Vic Vox, and Nashta The Usurper.
• Fixed a bug where Leap Slam was unable to trigger Graft Skills that required the player to attack to trigger them.
• Fixed a bug where if you stunned the Incarnation of Dread during its contracting Fire Circle skill, it could leave an invisible damage over time effect. The Incarnation of Dread can no longer be stunned while performing this skill.
• Fixed a bug where Glacial Shield Swipe lost bonuses to melee damage while using a wand in the main hand.
• Fixed Kinetic Fusillade projectiles not showing on the client when fired by Totems or Sacred Wisps.
• Fixed Kinetic Fusillade visual effects spawning at the incorrect height on some terrain.
• Fixed a visual bug where Penance Brand could leave behind brands on enemies that did nothing.
• Fixed a bug where some Bloodlines Ascendancy nodes which grant skills did not grant the skills in Ruthless.
• Fixed a bug where vendors unrelated to async trade were showing a price difference warning.
• Fixed a bug where the collection icon above Faustus could remain visible when it shouldn't.
• Fixed a bug where item filters could interpret exact string matches as non-exact matches (or vice versa).
• Fixed the Map Device window showing occasionally when killing a boss in a Memory Line map.
• Fixed a bug where Chess Pieces from the Chronomancer Supporter Pack could not be accredited to your guild.
• Fixed 2 instance crashes.

Controller

As we announced last week, we are currently working on the 3.27.0c patch, which includes various improvements to Breach mechanics as well as a new batch of Foulborn Uniques.

Check out some of them below:

We are planning to deploy the patch by the end of this week. The full patch notes will be available soon.

Weave your way through Wraeclast with the new Threads of Consciousness Portal! Check out the unravelling threads of this memorable travelling method in the video below, or get yours here.



Please note that this microtransaction is currently only available in Path of Exile 1, and will be added to Path of Exile 2 at a later date.

Thanks for your support!

We are now in the third month of the Rise of the Abyssal League in Path of Exile 2, and you may be wondering when to expect the next big release.

We are still on track with our 4-month release schedule and are currently planning to launch the 0.4.0 Content Update in early December. We will reveal the livestream and release date very soon, so keep an eye on the news.

The ongoing Rise of the Abyssal League will end in a few weeks. After that, your characters and their items will be migrated to the Standard or Hardcore Early Access league. There will not be any wipes, so once migration is complete, you can play your characters in the Standard/Hardcore Early Access league.

We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on! Stay tuned!

To celebrate the launch of Keepers of the Flame, we’re hosting an Uber Boss Kill Event where Path of Exile players can compete to slay the Uber Incarnation of Dread in the Keepers HC SSF Event.

Event Times and Dates

Start: Nov 13, 2025 01:00 PM PST or Nov 14, 2025 5:00 AM (GMT+8) in your local time.
End: Nov 20, 2025 01:00 PM PST or Nov 21, 2025 5:00 AM (GMT+8) in your local time.

Prizes

PC:
The first player who kills the Uber Incarnation of Dread will receive an Alienware 16X Aurora gaming laptop.

Alienware 16X Aurora Gaming Laptop

• Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 275HX, 24 cores
• Windows 11 Home
• NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5070
• 64 GB DDR5
• 2 TB SSD
• 16" Non-Touch QHD+

The top 5 players who kill the Uber Incarnation of Dread will receive a microtransaction bundle:

• Celestial Warlord Armour Pack
• Celestial Warlord Back Attachment
• Divergence Weapon Effect
• Celestial Emperor Finisher Effect
• Breach Hedron Portal
• Midnight Pact Character Effect
• Harmony Footprints Effect
• Tumbling Exalted Orb Pet

Everyone who reaches level 50 in the event will receive one guaranteed Third Edict Mystery Box.

Consoles:
Console players can also participate in this race through the Keepers SC SSF Event. The top 5 players who kill the Uber Incarnation of Dread will receive the microtransaction bundle listed above. All participants who reach level 50 will also be awarded with one guaranteed Third Edict Mystery Box.

How to Join

At the character selection screen, there's a panel below your characters which will list the events available. You can join the event by clicking 'join'. This option becomes available 30 minutes before the event is set to begin. Your character won't be able to move until the event starts.

Rules

• If there are operational problems with the event (like significant realm stability issues at launch), Grinding Gear Games may restart the event at any point. The way we will do this is to create a new event league and indicate that players who wish to compete in the new event must make new characters there.
• Placings and prize eligibility are entirely at the discretion of Grinding Gear Games.
• While the event being SSF reduces a lot of scope for outside help, any form of account sharing (or other breaches of the Terms of Use) will disqualify a player from receiving prizes.
• Grinding Gear Games Employees (past or present) are not eligible for prizes.
• Players who have played on the Alpha realm (when the expansion was first deployed) are not eligible for prizes.
• Dying or migrating your character out of the league doesn't remove prize eligibility as long as the kill occurred while in the league.

Good luck in the event!
