3.20.0
  • Fixed a wonky visual interaction between the Scourgelord Weapon Skin microtransaction and Mirage Archer.
    • 3.19.0
  • The Scourge have taken over the realm of the Beyond demons. Summoning monsters from Beyond will now summon Scourge monsters and bosses. We have completely rebalanced the rate that Beyond monsters and bosses spawn at, so that it's appropriate for modern Path of Exile. The new Beyond monsters can now occasionally drop the Scourge league's Tainted currency items that allow you to modify corrupted items.
    • 3.16.0

    The Scourge Challenge League

  • In the Scourge Challenge League, you'll meet a mysterious figure who hands you a rusty-looking device called the Blood Crucible and urges you to implant it into your body. As you slay enemies, the Crucible fills with their blood. Once it reaches a certain threshold, you're able to activate the device. This will instantly thrust you into a parallel reality, an alternate Wraeclast where some form of apocalyptic event is occurring. This Wraeclast is overrun by demons known as The Scourge. They're powerful, dangerous and come in many forms. The more blood you have collected, the longer you can stay shifted into the parallel Wraeclast. But the longer you stay, the more damage you'll take.
  • You can put an item inside the Blood Crucible. While you are killing the Scourge, it absorbs corruption from the alternate Wraeclast and focuses it onto the item. After enough kills, your item is ready to transform. When it does, it becomes corrupted and gains a pair of Scourged Modifiers. One of these is a beneficial mod and one is a detrimental mod. These scourged mods are in addition to the regular explicit and implicit mods or enchantments on the item.
  • With 3.16.0, there are Standard, Hardcore and Solo Self-Found variations of the Scourge 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 challenge leagues include a set of 40 new challenges. When you complete 12 challenges, you will receive the Scourge Weapon. When you reach 24 challenges, you will receive the Scourge Wings. At 36 challenges completed you'll receive Scourge Pet. These microtransactions are only obtainable in this league.
  • From the 19th challenge onwards and for every third challenge after that, you will receive pieces of the Scourge Totem Pole decoration to display in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Scourge challenges you completed during the league.
    • Finding all six Trials of Ascendancy often took a very large number of maps. Assuming players were playing alone, it averaged to around 150 maps to find them all, but could be much more if players were unlucky. By this point, players were often over-levelled for the content and were starting to encounter difficult-enough endgame content where the extra Ascendancy skills were sorely needed. This problem would be further exacerbated by the reduction in Atlas size taking place in the Scourge expansion.

    It's possible to obtain high amounts of negative resistance with the Scourge item system.

  • Updated - The new challenge leagues include a set of 40 new challenges. When you complete 12 challenges, you will receive the Scourge Weapon. When you reach 24 challenges, you will receive the Scourge Wings. At 36 challenges completed you'll receive Scourge Pet. These microtransactions are only obtainable in this league.
    • 3.11.0
  • The Scourge: New copies of this item no longer have a chance to trigger Summon Spectral Wolf on kill. Now causes increases and reductions to Minion Damage to also affect you at 150% of their value (from 100%), which affects all versions of the item. Existing versions of this item now trigger level 10 Summon Spectral Wolf on kill (from 18), however the skill has been significantly changed, and you are now granted added physical damage to attacks. The minions from this skill are now also affected by your modifiers to critical strike chance and critical strike multiplier. In other words, it's a lot better now.

    • 2.6.0
  • Spectral Wolves summoned by unique items such as Rigwald's Crest and The Scourge now have 80% more life. They are now the same size as the player for the purpose of pathing or collision checks which allows them to swarm enemies better, or follow the player through tight areas. They also now have impact audio when attacking.

    Edit

    The Scourge

    Item mechanics and interactions

    The Minion Damage is simply increased global damage. It does not apply to multiple types, and thus does not apply twice to converted or added damage from passives or items such as Ming's Heart.

    It will apply to poison and ignite as they are classified as damage over time and not as an attack or a spell.
