Path of Exile - News - The Legacy of Phrecia FAQ | eprison.de

Since we revealed our plans for the Legacy of Phrecia event in Path of Exile 1, we've seen lots of questions from the community regarding the event. We'll be answering the most common ones in this news post, as well as showcasing three more Ascendancy classes!

More Ascendancy Classes

Check out the Daughter of Oshabi (Ranger), Antiquarian (Marauder) and Surfcaster (Shadow) Ascendancy classes below! [i]As an Azmeri, the daughter has a great respect for nature - particularly the forest. She shares many of the powers of the Warden of the Maji, as well as being empowered by Shrines or utilising Sacred Wisps to aid Wand attacks.[/i]

[i]This Karui Collector hails from the port of Ngakanu. Over the course of his long career he has traded for historical artifacts, many of which he can employ in combat. Choose from Kalguuran relics, Karui trinkets used by legendary Chieftains or equipment from one of the great Karui enemies, General Marceus Lioneye.[/i]

[i]The Surfcaster is simply a Chill guy. His home is with the sea, for which he attunes to gain control of the Cold and Lightning elements. An expert fisherman himself you can reap great rewards for holding a Fishing Rod, if you can find him one.[/i]

We have a number of important questions we wanted to clarify. Here are some of our answers below, please keep them coming and we'll try to address as much of your feedback and questions as possible!

When is the event?

We will be announcing this very soon! Keep an eye out on upcoming announcements.

How powerful are the Idols? What is the expected amount of juicing compared to the Atlas Tree?

Idols can be found as either magic or rare items, they are unmodifiable but each modifier is approximately two to three times the power of a corresponding Atlas tree node. Not all stats are reflective of this however, for example if you had 100% chance to have Strongboxes be re-openable you'd be opening the same Strongbox all day, so in some cases the stats are more conservative values and in other cases they're higher like being able to get more Ritual rerolls and even reduce the cost of rerolls to be free. It is relatively difficult to describe the power difference between this system and the Atlas Tree but with a fully optimized set of Idols you could easily have more than three times the amount of different content or over three times the power of one type of content.

How do the Idols drop and how often are we expected to find an Idol?

The Idols are in the core drop pool and will start dropping at Endgame, they completely scale with juicing and there is also a static drop chance of 50% for them to drop from the final Map boss in Maps to alleviate randomness. It is not intended that you are at the whims of randomness to find these as they are the gateway to fun. As you get further into the endgame and start applying more juice to your maps you will find more and more of these, certainly getting many per map.

Is the Idols system replacing the Atlas Tree?

Only during this event. It is an old throw-away idea we didn't think would be good enough to replace the Atlas Tree. For this event we wanted to create an almost "alternate reality Wraeclast" vibe and thought this would be interesting to experience alongside the alternate Ascendancy class ideas also. After the event we will be adding the alternate Ascendancy Classes and alternate Endgame (Idols) to the Private League list so that people can have leagues with just one or the other at their leisure!

The Idol mechanic seems to be one that is lacking Quality of Life features, given the feedback are you considering improving this, or would you consider adding it during the event?

Yes. The original intention was to be able to deliver an event quickly to give something new and fresh to play to help fill the time until we can deliver an expansion. Given the popularity and feedback for this event we've decided to develop these ideas further so we are currently (literally at the time of writing this) now implementing a loadout like system for the Idols, hopefully this will be ready in time but if not it will be shortly into the event starting.

Is there a meta-system to the Idol mechanic?

Yes, initially there are locked slots (similar to Relics from Sanctum), you can unlock these slots by completing the same content that unlocks Favoured Map Slots. This will allow you to use the entire inventory and maximize your juice. You initially have access to 20 slots and can eventually unlock 12 to get a total of 32 slots.

Are there any rewards for participation in this event?

Yes! We will release a video for an armour set you will be able to earn by achieving level thresholds in this event. Currently we're aiming for Level 80 to attain all four pieces of the Armour Set.

Is this content being used as a testing grounds for future expansions or Path of Exile 2?

Not at all, as mentioned this was a throw-away development idea from the past, we have no current plans to use it for anything outside of being a future private league modifier.

There are concerns that one month isn't long enough, would you consider running this event or some deviation of it again? Or perhaps extending the duration?

We're completely open to running additional events in the future using these based on your feedback. We are also open to extending the duration to give players more time to experiment and find all the broken builds with the Ascendancy classes and give more opportunity to earn the armour set mentioned above. The intention here was to help fill the time until we can deliver the much desired and deserved expansion so we can extend events and run more to fill that time until 3.26.0 is ready so it depends on that!

Atlas nodes close to the tree origin bias hard toward map sustain. Will there be anything similar in Legacy of Phrecia, such as low ilvl Idols biasing hard toward map sustain?

We've just added Implicit modifiers to the Idols that grant x% increased chance to drop Maps. This should mean even if you find an Idol that isn't ideal for your strategy you can still use it to sustain more Maps.

Will the effect of Atlas Blocker nodes (such as Black Thumb – your maps cannot contain Harvests and cannot drop Harvest scarabs) be available?

These are available in the form of Unique Idols.

Will Legacy of Phrecia be parented to the Settlers league, to Standard, or something else?

Settlers League. When your characters are migrated out of the league their Ascendancy points are respecced and you'll be assigned one of the core Ascendancy classes.

Given that this is using Settlers League as a base, doing all the town upgrading again is becoming tiring, can there be a way to make this more efficient?

Yes, we will be making early upgrades in particular cheaper in Settlers leagues (including this event and the core league) to streamline this process.
