Patch notes[ | ]

These are the official patch notes for version 3.9.0 released by Grinding Gear Games.[1]

The Metamorph 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 Metamorph Challenge League, fellow exile Tāne Octavius is investigating the source of ill intent in the world; what he calls "The Intrinsic Darkness". Help him by harvesting flesh samples from monsters throughout Wraeclast and combining them to summon powerful, transforming bosses: Metamorphs.
  • The more difficult the encounter you create, the greater the rewards. A new type of currency, the Catalyst, is available only by creating and defeating these powerful new foes. Catalysts can be used to increase the quality of your rings, belts and amulets in specific ways, enhancing certain types of modifiers.
  • Once you reach maps, you'll be able to acquire samples from map bosses in different areas and combine them in Tāne's lab for fights that are extra difficult (but extra rewarding!).
  • With 3.9.0, there are Standard, Hardcore and Solo Self-Found variations of the Metamorph 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 Metamorph Footprints effect. When you reach 24 challenges, you will receive the Metamorph Weapon effect. At 36 challenge completed you'll receive the Metamorph Portal effect. 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 Metamorph Totem Pole decoration to display in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Metamorph challenges you completed during the league.

Major New Content and Features[ | ]

  • Conquerors of the Atlas: A brand new endgame mapping experience. The Shaper and the Elder have both been defeated! ...Just not by you. Another group of Exiles has saved Wraeclast from these celestial harbingers of doom, but that wasn't enough. They continued to cut paths through the Atlas, leaving carnage in their wake, and forcing Zana to seal them in the Atlas forever. But they are trying to find a way out... Can you stop them before they bring ruin to Oriath? Featuring 5 new endgame boss encounters, powerful rewards (including new currencies), and new ways to modify your Atlas.

Atlas Changes[ | ]

  • The Atlas of Worlds has been reworked. You now start at the centre and will work your way outwards as you explore a new storyline.
  • The Shaper and Elder storyline is gone and has been replaced by a story that takes place in the aftermath of the old story.
  • Added 5 new difficult endgame bosses, each with their own special loot, including several new item types.
  • Added a new mechanic - Watchstones: These can only be obtained by defeating one of the new Atlas bosses. They can be used to raise the tier of all maps in a particular region of the Atlas, causing all maps of those base types to drop at the new higher tier.
  • Sextants can no longer be applied to individual maps, and no longer have a radius. They are now applied to Watchstones instead, and affect every map in that Watchstone's region. They are not restricted by map tier, and if two or more Watchstones contain the same Sextant modifier, only one will apply. Also, they've been renamed.
  • Zana can now sell Shaper- and Elder-influenced maps once you have progressed your Atlas enough. These act like the old Atlas influence, creating new monsters, threats, and rewards.
  • The Zana modifiers that change map tiers or reroll map basetypes have been disabled, at least for now.
  • Unique maps can now drop with varied tiers based on the state of your Atlas. Maps that previously had monster level overrides (such as Hallowed Ground inventory iconHallowed GroundHallowed Ground
    Cemetery Map
    Map Level: (73-79)

Blight Mechanics Added to the Core Game[ | ]

  • Blight has been added to the core game! You will have a 10% chance to encounter Cassia and her beautiful singing while exploring the Atlas.
  • Each Blight encounter will award at least one Oil or Blighted Map.
  • Cassia will say some nonsense early on because we haven't updated her script yet. Sorry!

Character Balance[ | ]

  • Fortify's damage reduction effect is now multiplicative with other similar effects.
  • Shock and Chill calculations have been changed. In general, it is much easier to Shock and Chill monsters with low values of the ailment, but harder to reach high values of Shock and Chill. The formula used to calculate Shock and Chill magnitudes is now: 1/2*[Damage % of Ailment Threshold (see below) ]^0.4
  • We've added an Ailment Threshold to monsters. In the great majority of cases, the Ailment Threshold matches the monster's Maximum Life. It primarily differs for especially high-life monsters (such as The Shaper), where the threshold is reduced to allow ailments to be applied with hits that wouldn't ordinarily reach the required Life thresholds.
  • The minimum Shock and Chill value is now 5% (from 1%). To reach the minimum, you must deal 0.4% of a monster's Ailment Threshold with the associated element in a single hit. To inflict a 10% Chill you must deal 1.8% of a monster's Ailment Threshold with the associated element in a single hit. A 30% Chill requires a hit of 28% of the monster's Ailment Threshold.
  • The default Shock magnitude for effects that apply Shock without damage (such as Skitterbots) is now 15% (from 20%).
  • The alternate ailments Sap, Scorch and Brittle have a slightly different calculation as they have lower caps on their magnitudes.

  • Now costs 8 mana at gem level 1 (from 18), up to 10 at gem level 20 (from 27).
  • Arrows stick into the enemy or wall and explode after a duration. The duration no longer refreshes whenever a new arrow is attached (previously they were handled like "charges", which refresh their duration whenever a new one is gained).
  • If an enemy has multiple arrows stuck in them, the first one to explode will consume all other attached arrows, adding their damage to the first arrow's explosion.
  • On-hit effects such as Chance to Knockback are determined by the exploding arrow, however each arrow calculates it's own damage, including critical strike chance and damaging ailments independently, and these are summed to create one hit. Each arrow checks it's own critical strike chance, and only has it's critical multiplier applied to that arrow's portion of the damage if that arrow rolls a critical strike, but if any of the arrows roll a critical strike, this combined explosion will be considered a crit for on-crit effects. The same is true of damaging ailments such as ignite. For example, if the exploding arrow did not successfully roll a critical strike or ignite, that part of the explosion will have no ignite damage or critical strike multiplier. If two other arrows were also attached at the point of the explosion and they successfully rolled to critically strike, they will add their critical strike damage to the explosion, and the explosion will cause an ignite from their summed ignite damage.
  • Explosions now also deal added fire damage based on gem level, up to 522 to 783 at gem level 20 (from 586 to 879).
  • Now inherits its base critical strike chance from your weapon (previously had a 6% base critical strike chance).
  • Now gains +2 to explosion radius up to a cap determined by gem level, up to +19 at gem level 20. Previously it naturally capped at +10 due to the charge limit.
  • Explosions now deal 3% more damage with Ignite per explosive arrow on the target.

World Changes[ | ]

  • Two new areas connected to the Epilogue town have been added. They can be accessed by progressing through Kirac's quest.
  • Helena now has something to say about the Order of the Djinn.

Monster Changes[ | ]

  • Boss encounters throughout the entire campaign have been made more difficult. In most cases they have significantly more life, will deal more damage, and use some skills and attacks more quickly. This is particularly true for Act bosses. Several bosses also have new skills.
  • Many bosses with lengthy introductions (such as the Brine King) now take reduced damage for a short period immediately after becoming targetable.
  • Monsters throughout the game now have more armour, from 33% at level 1 up to 2762% at level 84. Sounds a lot scarier than it is, because their base armour is stirringly unimpressive.
  • Monster resistances throughout the game have been reviewed and made more consistent. In many cases this has resulted in more resistances on monsters.
  • The Wave skill used by some Sea Witch monsters (such as Merveil's Daughter) is no longer considered a projectile, and will deal damage in a way that more accurately reflects its visuals.

Betrayal Changes[ | ]

  • The Mastermind will now drop Scarabs when slain.
  • Safehouse outcomes that reward Scarabs now have a chance to reward additional Scarabs.

Map Changes[ | ]

  • The Atlas has been completely reworked. There's a new storyline, new boss encounters and new ways to customise your Atlas.
  • The Elder, Shaper, and combined Elder and Shaper encounters can still be accessed. If you're lucky, Zana may offer a Shaper or Elder guardian's map!
  • Elder Guardians are no longer in a separate instance to that of their map.
  • Like the bosses throughout the campaign, most map bosses have had their life significantly increased and the damage and speed of several skills increased. Many bosses are now also more resistant to elemental and chaos damage.
  • When encountering Zana in a map, the number of map options she offers is now tied to the level of the area.
  • Zana's level, which determines which Map Device crafting options you have available as well as what maps Zana can stock in her vendor window, is now determined by the number of maps you have completed on your Atlas.
  • Maps now have a 10% chance to contain a Vaal Side Area, where you can find Sacrifice Fragments and Vaal Gems.

  • All 5 Synthesis maps can now drop as unique items. They can only be acquired from map bosses of Tier 11 or greater maps (or Tier 14 or greater for Cortex), or if you're very, very lucky, maybe Zana will sell you one.

Zana League Mods Available During 3.9.0[ | ]

Zana's map device options are now unlocked as you progress through the Atlas quest chain. These are the League Mods available during 3.9.0.

  • Arrow Nova Support now applies a 25% damage penalty against players to skills it supports.
  • Greater Volley now applies a 25% damage penalty against players to skills it supports (this was the case previously when it existed solely on Reach of the Council, too).
  • Artillery Ballista now has a 30% damage penalty against players.

Bug Fixes[ | ]

  • Fixed a bug where Midnight Bargain's life reservation wouldn't correctly maintain the hidden life-reserved value if you died for things that cared about amounts of life reserved (such as the Guardian's Radiant Faith passive).
  • Improved how Purifying Flame handles terrain elevation changes. It isn't perfect, but it is better.
  • Fixed a bug where, if you were not the first player to enter a PvP area, you could use Body Swap on a pet. It would, unfortunately, not transform you into the pet.
  • Fixed more weird Betrayal states, particularly with certain Safehouse conditions.
  • Fixed a bug where Legion monster auras could affect players and other monsters before they had been revealed by activating the Legion monolith.
  • Fixed a bug that caused mines to have a different rotation on the game client than the server.
  • Fixed a bug where the Smite on-weapon effect would persist if you interrupted the skill with movement.
  • Fixed a bug where some projectiles that are supposed to fade over time would persist (invisibly) if they had forked from an enemy.
  • Fixed a bug which caused Cobra Lash and Shattering Steel to behave poorly when targeting a location or enemy at a different height. They should now hit cliff-faces a lot less often.
  • Fixed a bug where fireflies in the Delve Talisman encounter were not making monsters vulnerable.
  • Fixed a bug where Flame Dash with the Stygian effect would work incorrectly while using Predictive networking (or playing on console).
  • Fixed a bug where if you used both Phase Run and Withering Step simultaneously, you would get to keep the effects of both (whereas one should remove the other).
  • Fixed a bug which caused Act 4 Piety to not use her Cleave nearly as often as she should.
  • Fixed a bug where the visual effects from the cycling buffs on Arborix and Augyre would linger.
  • Fixed a bug where standing on an enemy's Consecrated Ground would not correctly show the debuff with a red border.
  • Fixed a bug where binding Advanced Mod Descriptions to Ctrl would prevent you from actually seeing the Advanced Mod Descriptions by holding Ctrl.
  • Fixed a wonky transition in the Savage Crab's animation set.
  • Fixed a bug where the Syndicate Laboratory could generate with a wall blocking the entrance in the Sarn Slums tileset.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented Blighted Relics from taking damage from ground effects.
  • Fixed a bug where Thane Jorgin's "Transform an Amulet into a Tier 3 Talisman" reward would destroy any skins transferred onto the original Amulet.
  • Fixed a bug where the Vulnerability from Coward's Legacy would not be reapplied after dying and reviving in PvP.
  • Smoothed out some unnecessarily uneven ground in the Battle-Scarred Hideout.
  • Fixed a bug where with Insightfulness and a quality Blood Magic support gem linked to a skill, your skillbar's tooltip would flicker if your Energy Shield was regenerating and degenerating at the same time.
  • Fixed a bug where Blackguard Scouts could have a levitating crossbow just, like, hanging out with them.
  • Fixed some bad Delve paths where you'd think you were going one way, and then you'd go another, much longer, way.

  • Fixed some variations of the Ornate Planter hideout decoration which didn't have any collision.
  • Fixed a view distance issue in the Towering Hideout.
  • Fixed some niche cases of physical damage over time that was unaffected by Immortal Call and Pride.
  • Fixed a bug where the Hand of Wisdom and Action and the Hand of Thought and Motion 3D art on the Marauder were both incorrect.
  • Fixed a bug where Prophecies that dropped items could trigger the drop on enemies that were unreachable and untargetable (and therefore the item would also be unreachable).
  • Fixed a bug where the Heavy Strike visual effect would linger if the skill was cancelled by movement.
  • Fixed a bug which caused minions created by Dominating Blow to not use their Shield Charge.
  • Fixed a bug introduced in 3.8.0 where monster generation and rewards of specific types from Legion encounters would never roll their maximum values, resulting in less items being awarded than intended.
  • Fixed a bug where the extra effects applied to Shocked enemies by Brain Rattler were being modified by some modifiers to Shock Effect.
  • Fixed a bug where Shock was considered the same element as Chill for Yoke of Suffering.
  • Fixed a bug where Sap, Brittle and Scorch were also considered the same as Chill for the purposes of increasing damage taken from Yoke of Suffering's effect.
  • Fixed a bug where Poison was considered the same as Ignite for the sake of Yoke of Suffering's effect. Basically, Yoke of Suffering was broken.

Recently added[ | ]

Shaper and Elder Modifiers

  • Edit: You can no longer roll the higher tier Additional Chance to Evade Attacks modifier on rings. You can still obtain the lower tier.

Crafted Modifiers

  • Edit: You can no longer craft the Veiled increased Damage of specific elements with an ailment chance on Bows.

Explosive Arrow

  • Edit: On-hit effects such as Chance to Knockback are determined by the exploding arrow, however each arrow calculates it's own damage, including critical strike chance and damaging ailments independently, and these are summed to create one hit. Each arrow checks it's own critical strike chance, and only has it's critical multiplier applied to that arrow's portion of the damage if that arrow rolls a critical strike, but if any of the arrows roll a critical strike, this combined explosion will be considered a crit for on-crit effects. The same is true of damaging ailments such as ignite. For example, if the exploding arrow did not successfully roll a critical strike or ignite, that part of the explosion will have no ignite damage or critical strike multiplier. If two other arrows were also attached at the point of the explosion and they successfully rolled to critically strike, they will add their critical strike damage to the explosion, and the explosion will cause an ignite from their summed ignite damage.


  • There are now separate Weapon Elemental Damage modifiers for one-handed and two-handed weapons. All values of Weapon Elemental Damage modifiers have been buffed, with the highest one-handed tier now topping out at 59% (from 42%). The two-handed version tops out at 100%.
  • The Elemental Damage modifiers from Prismatic Fossils have had their values lowered. The two-handed version now tops out at 94% (from 120%), while the one-handed version tops out at 49% (from 60%).
  • Chance to Bleed, Chance to Poison, Poison Duration and Bleed Duration modifiers can no longer roll as suffixes on weapons. The suffix mods that grant increased Poison/Bleeding damage now have higher values and also grants some chance to inflict Poison/Bleed.
  • Added a new Damage over Time Multiplier modifier which can roll on all weapons and quivers as a suffix.
  • Added a new modifier which grants an additional arrow which can roll on Bows as a suffix.
  • The Bow Attacks fire an additional Arrow modifier from Elder Influence now grants +1 Projectile. This affects existing items with this modifier.
  • Unending Hunger now grants 20 seconds of Soul Eater to your Spectre on kill (from 30 seconds).
