# Settlers of Kalguur <a href='#' class="js-modal-btn" data-video-id="QFVLcNTXtxM"></a> ## Introduction In Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur, help Kalguuran pioneers to build the town of Kingsmarch and establish trade between Wraeclast and their homeland. Our July expansion introduces the Settlers of Kalguur challenge league, a new trade market system for currency, balance improvements including two Ascendancy Class changes, Endgame improvements, some further additions to the Campaign and some Quality of Life features. ### Settlers of Kalguur Challenge League In the Settlers of Kalguur Challenge League you will encounter some familiar faces from the Expedition league. Dannig, Rog, Tujen and Gwennen are seeking out resources in Wraeclast that can be used to begin town construction and establish a shipping trade route to Kalguur. They have recruited many characters from Wraeclast, including some you may recognise - but are also seeking the help of a powerful Exile, like yourself. ### Harness the Resources of Wraeclast On your adventures you might find minerals such as Crimson Iron, which are veins of Iron that have been overrun with corruption, spawning dangerous foes when you approach. Or perhaps Orichalcum, which you will have to liberate from the demons worshipping it. Petrified Amber attracts mindless Blighted Enemies, while Bismuth has a strong affinity to the elements and causes the area to become unstable. If you’re lucky you might find Verisium, a material as valuable as it is dangerous, and guarded by very powerful foes. Each of these resources become available once you defeat the enemies guarding it. You’ll then be able to tag the deposit for mining. Now, who’s going to be doing the hard labour? * Crimson Iron * Orichalcum Ore * Petrified Amber * Bismuth * Verisium ### Manage Kingsmarch Theopolis wasn't built in a day, and neither will Kingsmarch, but many hands make light work. Head to the town and hire skilled workers who will aid you in mining, smelting, disenchanting, farming and other jobs needed in Kingsmarch. You'll notice each person has their specialties, and a wage cost. It’ll be up to you to hire and fire as you please. Over the course of the league you'll be searching for your perfect employees for each job. Once you have them, you’ll have to keep them paid, safe, and alive.

Pile your acquired resources onto these ships and send them to a port of your choosing, where your traders will haggle for the best deals! Each Port will return specific rewards based on what you send them. When your shipment has returned you’ll get notified, and you can return to the town to collect your rewards at your leisure. Shipping | Content | Improvements - | - | - 1 | Establish Shipping<br>26 Gold 2 | +2 to Maximum Ship Crew<br>115 Gold | Can Ship to Kalguur and Ngakanu<br>2 Maximum Ship Crew<br>1 Ship ### Delegate Map Running Aside from shipping, the Kalguurans are big on their technology. They have hired Isla, an engineer from the Heist League. Once at Endgame, Isla can help you build a series of Kalguuran-modified Map Devices which you can put a queue of Maps into. If you’ve hired a few skilled combatants, they will put themselves to work running those maps for you one after another. ### Benefit from Kalguuran Crafting Techniques Operated by Dannig himself, a Runesmithing Table is using powerful Kalguuran blacksmithing arts to engrave runic magic onto your weapons. There are many rune-types and combinations to choose from, and you can unlock new crafts that can be applied to your weapons as enchantments. The Kalguuran tech benefits don’t end there. We’re also bringing back a community-favourite recombination system. Isla is trying to master this, she just needs you to help her with getting resources. While recombination is not entirely the same as it used to be in the Sentinel league, it still allows you to combine two items together, hoping to get the best modifiers of each onto a single item. ### Discover a Currency Trade Market In this expansion we're introducing a Currency Trade Market. The Kalguurans have recruited Faustus, another NPC from the Heist league who is proficient at Black Market trade and shady deals. He allows you to asynchronously buy and sell currency and most other stackable items with other players. All you need to do is select what currency you want, say what you have, and your ideal ratio. Faustus will make the trade happen for you, so long as there is someone selling on the other end for the same rate or less. ### Defend What You've Built As your town grows, it will attract more attention, good and bad. Settlers of Kalguur features three endgame bosses that will close in on your operations, wanting a piece of the pie. They might capture and ransom your workers, even your entire ships. You’ll have to make some tough decisions - will you take them on, or pay them off? ### Pledge Your Allegiance to Glory The Gladiator Ascendancy Class has received its long-awaited rework. Like before there are passive skills that allow you to invest in Bleeding, and Block. We’ve also designed new Skills replacing some of the old ones, and added a new branch which allows you to invest into Retaliation Skills, which are a new type of skill that allows you to unleash devastating damage upon meeting certain conditions in combat. ### New Ascendancy: Warden We're introducing the Warden, a new Ascendancy class that replaces the Raider Ascendancy. This class is largely inspired by its predecessor from the Affliction league, with a few changes. The Warden focuses on Elemental Attacks, grants Barkskin which can be used to mitigate Physical Damage from Hits, and specialises in Tinctures which have been reworked and introduced into the game as a core item type you can find throughout Wraeclast. ### Massive Balance Overhaul In Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur, we've done a lot of balance work including drastic alterations to Melee Skills, Block, Rage, Warcries, Banners, Bleed, Impale, added new Base Types to Endgame, buffed Modifiers on Endgame Items, buffed Critical Strike Chances on Weapons and much much more. Check out the full changes in the Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur Patch Notes. ### Endgame Content Improvements There are a myriad of changes coming to Endgame in Settlers of Kalguur. We're changing many Scarabs, adding a 6th Map Device Slot, introducing exciting new encounters in Tier 16 and Tier 17 Maps, updating Blight and Ritual in Endgame and more. We've also added a set of new Chisel types and massively increased the drop rate of Valdo's Puzzle Boxes. ### Console Native Ports We’ve been hard at work improving the Path of Exile experience on consoles. The game now takes full advantage of the console hardware: loading times have been reduced even further, pop-in has been reduced, and textures won't start unloading in heavy scenes. Furthermore, overall visual fidelity has been improved for all new generation consoles. Path of Exile now uses the highest available resolution textures and water effects. We’ve installed a new upscaling algorithm that improves the crispness of dynamic resolution, with an additional anti-aliasing pass on top of that. ## Timeline Settlers of Kalguur predicted lasts 19 weeks (2024 Dec 13th) * PoE2 Early Access expected in November * PoE1 has averaged 16.5 weeks over the past two years * PoE1 has never been updated in November in 11 years * PoE1 will release the Core Supporter package in mid-December ## Teaser https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3530603 ### In Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur we're shipping a bunch of quality of life improvements. For example, reservation effects such as Heralds and Auras, persist through death now. <a href='#' class="js-modal-btn" data-video-id="F4QpJGg9Bn0"></a>
