    3.12 Leaks Megathread

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 10:19 PM PDT

    Hello exiles! Hope everyone's having a lovely week so far. There are only a few more days until the official announcement of 3.12 on Tuesday, September 1st at 2pm (PDT). The official 3.12 discussion thread will be put up shortly before that time. Until then, any information concerning 3.12 through datamines, news sources, and other methods are considered leaked content.

    Based on our previous policy discussion it was concluded that the majority of redditors would prefer not to have any leaked content freely roaming around, so please keep any leaked content and speculation within this megathread. Thanks and stay safe exiles!

    Path of Exile: Expedition - Join Lilly, Weylam and Alva on the Black Crest Ship to hunt for the Subaquatic City of Tsoatha!

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 05:20 PM PDT

    TL;DR - league name will be "Expedition", you'll sail with Lilly, Weylam, Alva and your new crew (13 NPCs) on the "Black Crest" ship. Upgrade your ship/crew with a new resource (treasure), and hunt for clues during maps. Eventually, you'll unlock the ultimate end-game map of the Subaqautic City of Tsoatha, and plunder it for loot + a fight with a tentacle sea monster/giant.

    Why Expedition?:

    The name came to be when studying Bex's Tweet about making sure she doesn't accidentally spoil the league's name by accident. Also, Chris Wilson on Baeclast was very paranoid about accidentally mentioning the name, as "it's, unfortunately, one of those names where the single word just tells you how the entire league works."

    If the word, or the "trigger word" is in Bex's tweet, it has to be something that starts with a similar letter combination, such in that you may type the wrong word by accident. After some trial and error, I finally landed on the word "Expansion". This word is being used a lot by Bex during teaser season in both her tweets and PoE web/twitter.

    If the league was called "Expedition", it could be very easy to see how you might type that word, instead of another intended word that begins "Exp..."! These are the letters Bex mentions she "uses a lot".

    Think about if you're on the PoE team; especially the CM team - you've been writing promotional material, writing emails, writing copy and announcement text. The league's word has been stuck in your head for a good few months now, and you've probably written it down several times.

    You think you write "Expansion", but when you check your Tweet, you see it's "Expedition", and you frantically delete it and "triple-check" you haven't mentioned it again.

    So what will "Expedition" be about?:

    From looking at Path of Exile's lore, via in-game, PoE Wiki and Kitten Cat Noodle's amazing lore videos, I've managed to cobble together a brief premise on the league and its mechanics:

    • Lilly and Weylam Roth intend to hunt for the legendary subaquatic city of Tsoatha. This is possible after you reclaimed the "Tear Drop" for Lilly in Act 10. This will give them both a good chance at finding Tsoatha using their ship "The Black Crest". Lilly will enlist your help on this journey, as you "still owe her".

    • Alva will also join. As a former member of the Reliquarians, a secret society of treasure hunters, she's always up for a good ol' plunder! She still has her contacts/fences, and also knows a pirate or two who will pay for finds.

    • But you'll still need a crew, and this is where the "13 new NPCs" and "new town-like area" comes in. You'll meet a host of new characters who make up your plundering team, with personalities and flavour of their own. A ship as a hub could easily fulfil the statement of "town-like".

    • You'll be tasked with hunting for treasure/plunder, as well as clues to the exact location of Tsoatha. You'll find these in your usual mapping, but maybe there's a way to target specific maps/zones of the Atlas, as a bounty system.

    • You use the treasure/plunder to upgrade your ship and crew, offering a variety of bonuses and utility for the league mechanic (either through temporary map-counted buffs, or Delve-like upgrades that are account-wide and permanent).

    • The clues will eventually build up towards the ultimate map of Tosatha, which is entirely underwater, or at least housed underwater. Maybe you'll have breathing equipment from your upgrades that allows you to plunder further into the city, ultimately concluding with a boss fight with its guardian/sea giant. Maybe it also attacks your ship in retaliation and you have a defend phase as well!

    • The 900 Gems, which is real - variations of existing and new Gems (Supports and Active) that change them significantly. This relates to Bex's Tweet about her questioning the devs about the expansion, and them having variations in their answers, but a common theme (Gems).

    Additional evidence:

    Here's a bunch of links to other evidence that supports this theory.

    Bex Tweets:

    • Bex was "overflowing" with excitement over the trailer she peeked at. Water/Sea related clue.
    • Bex corrected "Hype Train" to "Hype Boat"
    • Bex "drip" feeding us info via teasers. Also mentions "Well" which is very out of place in the Tweet. Both related to water.
    • Bex shared a "corner of a screenshot" of the new league. Hard to be sure, but to me it seems like the flooring of the ship - you can see it's two square-like flooring by zooming in. Check the PoE 2 Trailer for more references of the ship, but be aware it could be upgraded assets.
    • Bex with "I'm already Several Teasers Deep" - Deep referencing Deep Sea/Ocean.
    • I can't see the original tweet, but Bex responded with a pirate ship gif.
    • Bex watching "Waterworld" film (Chris' Inspiration!?), and tweeting about how it reminds her of C. Robert Cargill, the writer of "Sea of Rust" EDIT: C. Robert Cargrill has alluded to the fact that the tweet was not about "Sea of Rust", and we should look again - is it just as simple as a "'Deez Nuts" joke!?
    • Finally, Bex creating some really sweet art of a lone woman, trapped on a rock in the middle of the sea. Also mentions "It's just missing Cthulhu lol."

    PoE Website Posts:

    PoE 2 Trailer:

    Datamining:

    • Some content was datamined from February with placeholder assets for a "Pirate Cove" and "Treasure Hunt" questline. It could be an early prototype! I also think I remember Chris saying they did plan to do the 3.12 League as 3.11, but delayed it by one league because it required more work. This would lend credit to that statement. I'll try and find the quote on that, so take with a grain of salt. Thanks /u/Young_Djinn !

    I'll add more if I see them, either from new Tweets, or new/old website/forum posts.

    Let me know what you think - got any of your own takes on a similar theory, or something completely different? There's another theory that I started writing, that doesn't fit as well, but could involve Zana, the Harbingers and Timetravel, but it would take 3 hours to explain the lore reasons as to why it's possible, and in the middle of writing it I decided Expedition was a better fit.

    Not sure if this is the place to post or not but I’m super new to the game and I don’t want to give up on it

    Posted: 28 Aug 2020 10:37 AM PDT

    So I'm just looking for someone to guide me through the game and teach me tips or tricks and like I said not sure if this is the place to ask for guidance but any help is appreciated, hope everyone has a great day

    Path of Exile in the Epic Games Store

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 03:03 PM PDT

    Alongside our 3.12 expansion in September, Path of Exile will be launching on the Epic Games Store! We are looking forward to making Path of Exile available to even more Action RPG fans to play alongside the existing PC community.

    If you have friends who want to check out Path of Exile and prefer to play through the Epic Games Store, then we encourage you to invite them to join our upcoming expansion as you navigate the harsh world of Wraeclast together.

    For clarity, this won't result in any changes to the way that the standalone or Steam versions of Path of Exile operate. It's another storefront to find the game on and launch the client from.

    We can't wait to share the details of this expansion with you and welcome even more Exiles into the fold!

    I'm just going to say it: PoE crafting has a huge barrier to entry as a new player

    Posted: 28 Aug 2020 12:40 AM PDT

    I've watched several videos by ZiggyD and some other dude explaining crafting, and it's ridiculous the amount of knowledge necessary to engage effectively in crafting.

    Multiple times throughout the videos they reference 3rd party websites like pathdb.tmz or something like that and go through all these suffixes and prefixes and what can appear where and how to do this and do that and it's redonk.

    I was watching Steelmage the other day and he was doing some crafting and all this removing mods and fixing the item and redoing it and everybody in chat was like "Wow man gj" "WTF he did it" and I was like "WTF is even happening?"

    That's it, that's my complaint, crafting is too complicated for a new player.

    Like the title says what do you guys think some good gear would be to craft while we still have a real crafting system?! I've made a few super awesome pieces so far and am wondering what sexy beast can I make next.

All build in constants (False, True, Elder, Star, etc.) also have own highlight color. Comments are greyed, to be less source of distraction.

    Installation

    Save pastebin (light version) or pastebin (dark version) as: filter.xml

    Notepad++ > Language > Define your language... > Import... > filter.xml

    Notepad++ > Settings > Style Configurator > Enable global background color

    ​

    For dark version only:

    Notepad++ > Settings > Style Configurator > Select theme: Obsidian

    EDIT:

    Added version for dark themes.

    Blight oil map shennagins with harvest.

    Posted: 28 Aug 2020 02:26 PM PDT

    I looked through the first 5 pages of hot, and didn't see this outside of a rouge comment I caught about it this morning.

    For anyone that hasn't been aware of this I am going to briefly explain it here. We start with a blight map of whatever tier you want. Use 3 violet oils on it for 90% quant to the map. Then use the craft "Change a map into another of the same tier, prioritizing ones you havent completed"

    This will cause the blight map to become a normal map of the same tier but now we have an extra 90% quantity on that map. We can proceed to fracture beyond, 35% qual, does not consume sextants and everything ontop of that now.

    I dont know of intended behavior or not but it is super strong and I feel it should be more widely known knowledge before the end of the league hits! Get some goodied for standard!
