Wyvern is the way to go early, both Wolf and Bear are actually pretty shit early on too.

If you use Archmage, the costs go crazy. However if you don't use Archmage, there's very few ways you can scale the damage efficiently because Cast on Crit doesn't work, nor do infusions(which also make the majority of spells useless for totems). The thing is the no cost also removed the...

Challenges and rewards. The challenges as expected look pretty easy, I'd expect anyone putting 30-50hours into endgame will be able to get them all easily, and most looks like you'll be able to buy carries for so could be done even faster if needed. Also confirmation you can complete the atlas...

Build guide is easy to "emulate" by just having your phone or a tablet or a 2nd screen or whatever too, price checking is a lot more annoying without typing unless you're on PC

Considering the small amount of sockets, it's going to be hard to find the best in every slot with all this new stuff. Well probably the unique rune but this shit 100% feels like it's gonna be worth 30+divines each, no way they made it easy to find, so that's going to be for the super endgame...

Tree released early, poe2db tree has the changes already integrated: https://poe2db.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/ Companion stuff seems pretty good but nothing that fixes pathing issues to get Lord of the Wilds/Giant's Blood or an equivalent. Mostly you can get companion deal additional dmg as...

New free shit for watching streams, waypoint skin(didn't know that was a thing) for week 1(watch 3hours), a crown with a bunch of variation for week 2 and a pet if you buy a sub.

The new alloys also work, and it's future-proofing for more currency later on.

Website down for maintenance for a bit, they're releasing item filter info and adding the skill tree on the website for PoE2. Unless they magically unfucked their terrible website architecture though, it'll still only show the current 0.4 tree until the patch.

Perfect Essences actually are different, they replace a mod by the one on the essence on a rare. Lesser-Greater Essences are like regals with deterministic stuff. I haven't looked into crafting but the idea is like roll a magic item with a wanted prefix and shitty suffix for example, then use a...

It's unclear, until they show the actual item, which they haven't yet I think. Technically it is a guaranteed outcome, but it's also only changing one resist for another resist, not allowing you to get more resist, or changing the amount of affixes or anything crazy, so they might actually be...

Well they did just nerf crafting A LOT in the updated patch notes, they're restricting essences and the new essence like crafting they're adding to one per item(potentially affects other currency, the description of the change is vague, says you can only have one deterministic craft that adds a...

Servers going to be hammered but the cosmetics are nice.

Sir this isn't Path of Pedophile

In PoE1, getting all the cosmetics is usually pretty easy, although a few of the late challenges are usually either time consuming or will need you to spend a bunch of currency. Good as a "I'm done with the league, let's just liquidate everything in my stash to get the last rewards" things, but...
