Content Update 3.30.0 — Path of Exile: Covens of Umbra

The Covens of Umbra Challenge League

• In the Covens of Umbra Challenge League, you will encounter wicked covenites performing gruesome rites to summon their Queen, seeking to plunge the world into unending darkness. Defeat them to divine the future of Wraeclast and try to bend its fate to your will.
• Upon disrupting the coven's magicks, you will get to select a Fate for the boss of the area you're in. Each Fate has a handful of effects, increasing both the rewards and difficulty of the encounter.
• A fully empowered boss can be quite a threatening fight, but the tantalising rewards of each Fate you invoke will surely make it worth it.
• The twisted witchcraft of the Coven allows you to put the remains of your fallen enemies to use by placing them on your own Wickerman. Obtain Viscera from a defeated boss empowered by Fates to claim a scrap of their power for your own.

• With 3.30.0, there are Standard, Hardcore and Solo Self-Found variations of the Covens of Umbra 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 Hardcore variations of Covens of Umbra are parented to their Standard Covens of Umbra equivalent, meaning if you die in Hardcore Covens of Umbra you can continue on in the Standard Covens of Umbra League.
• The new Covens of Umbra challenge league includes a set of 40 new challenges, and 8 new challenges in Ruthless Covens of Umbra. There are microtransaction rewards for completing challenges that are only obtainable in this league. These rewards will be revealed in an upcoming news post.
• From the 19th challenge onwards and for every third challenge after that, you will receive pieces of the Covens of Umbra Totem Pole decoration to display in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Covens of Umbra challenges you completed during the league.

• In high-tier Maps Sacred Flora has a chance to be replaced with a Sacred Specimen which spawns a Harvest Boss when interacted with.
• Harvest Monsters from Tier 1 seeds no longer have a chance to drop Lifeforce.
• Harvest Monsters from Tier 2 seeds now have a lower chance to drop Lifeforce.
• Harvest Monsters now drop Lifeforce in higher stack sizes.
• The intention of the above changes is the amount of Lifeforce you gain is similar to before, but there are fewer items to pick up per encounter.
• The tutorial Harvest Quest has been removed.
• The Horticrafting Station hideout decoration will now unlock the first time you complete a Sacred Flora encounter.
• Horticrafting crafts that change a Modifier that grants one type of Resistance into another type of Resistance now cost 300 Lifeforce of two different types (previously 500 of one type of Lifeforce).
• Horticrafting crafts that change a Modifier that grants one Damage type into another Damage Type now cost 300 Lifeforce of two different types and a Crystallised Rancour (previously 500 of one type of Lifeforce and a Crystallised Rancour).
• The Horticrafting craft to sacrifice up to half a stack of Divination Cards to receive between 0 and twice that amount of the same Card, now costs 1000 Primal, Wild and Vivid Crystallised Lifeforce (previously 1500 Vivid Crystallised Lifeforce).

Betrayal

• Catarina now always drops either an Allflame Ember of Propagation, Allflame Ember of Kulemak or Allflame Ember of the Ethereal. All other Allflames are a specific target's safehouse reward.
• Allflame Ember of the Cloister cannot be obtained in Ruthless.
• All Immortal Syndicate members within an Intervention Safehouse will now reward a trapped stash containing a specific class of Unique items (such as Unique Axes), instead of chests containing Scarabs. Higher rank members will have more and rarer Unique items within their trapped stashes.
• In Ruthless these trapped stashes instead contain random rarity items.
• Syndicate Rewards in non-Intervention Safehouses that previously gave chests containing Scarabs, instead now grant chests containing a specific Allflame Ember.
• Elreon's Transportation reward also now grants chests containing a specific Allflame Ember (previously chests containing Fragments).
• Rin's Research reward is now a trapped stash containing different Threads of various stack sizes (previously a trapped stash containing Scarabs).
• Rin's Fortification reward is now chests containing Threads (previously a trapped stash containing Unique Maps).
• Riker's Fortification reward is now chests containing Ancient Orbs (previously a trapped stash containing Unique items).
• Vorici in Research now rewards trapped stashes containing quality Skill Gems that have had a Soul Core applied (previously a crafting spree with Orbs of Chance and Orbs of Scouring).
• Veiled Items have been removed as reward outcomes from non-Betrayal content.

Expedition

• You can no longer Gamble for items with Gwennen. She instead now offers a new service inviting you to 'take a chance' on one of your Rare equipment items, at the cost of one Astragali.
• You'll be presented with three sets of two crafting options. You can then select one of the 3 sets of options, which will cause Gwennen to flip her coin randomly applying one of the crafting options to your item. Each pair of crafting options costs an amount of Broken Circle Artifacts.
• Tormented Spirits which spawn near Expeditions will now inhabit gravestones, which the player can detonate to free them, releasing additional extra Tormented Spirits. This will only occur for Tormented Spirits which naturally spawned near that Expedition, not ones which are chased to it.

Ritual

• Blood-Filled Vessels can only be added to Maps that have Ritual Threads applied. 2 Blood-Filled Vessel slots are available for 4 or more Ritual Threads, and 3 Blood-Filled Vessel slots are available for 8 Ritual Threads.
• Rerolls of offered rewards beyond the initial window of offered rewards at a Nameless Ritual altar will no longer always guarantee an Audience with the King or Waxen Soul. They will instead always generate at least one Omen.
• The King in the Mists now always drops an item level 85 or 86 Ritual base type.
• Blood Shrine of Crows now grants significantly higher Chaos Resistance.
• Blood Shrines can now be removed by right-clicking the Buff icon.
• The Wisp's Blessing Buff now grants 50% increased Tribute gained (previously 30%).
• The Wisp which applies Wisp's Blessing in Ritual Encounters now teleports far less frequently.

Bestiary

• Yellow beasts in your Maps are no longer captured by Einhar. They are still spawned in the Area, and Einhar will still remain in the area until all yellow beasts have been slain and all red beasts have been captured.
• As Yellow Beasts are no longer be captured, they are no longer a requirement for any Beastcrafting Recipes.
• Beastcrafting options to add Modifiers to Flasks now require any Red Beast to use.
• The Bestiary Screen will now only show and track capturable beasts (Red Beasts and Bosses).
• The Atlas Passives that cause Beasts in your Maps to be more likely to be less common varieties are now more effective.
• Existing Yellow Beasts in your Menagerie will be deleted upon logging in.
• Existing legacy Bestiary Orbs containing captured Yellow Beasts will be deleted upon logging in.
• Existing Bestiary Lures no longer have any use and their descriptions have been updated to state that.

Heist

• Completing level 68+ Heist Contracts now has a chance to award a bonus Blueprint reveal from Whakano on completion. The chance is higher for higher level Contracts.
• Whakano now sells Contracts and rarely Blueprints for Gold once you are level 68 or higher. The level of Contracts and Blueprints offered is based on your current Atlas completion. In addition you can now reroll Whakano's shop with Gold.
• Lowered the amount of increased Rarity of Items dropped in Heists on Heist Rogue Brooches and Trinkets. Pre-existing items can be made worse with Blessed/Divine Orbs.
• Rogue Markers, Contracts and Blueprints are no longer part of the core drop pool.

Ultimatum

• Ultimatum rewards now get incrementally better after round 10 (previously any round higher than 10 would generate rewards as if it were round 10).

Item Generation Changes

• Fundamentally changed how Items are generated in Path of Exile.
• Previously, if a monster drops an item it rolls its "Rarity" (Normal, Magic, Rare or Unique) based on the monster's Item Rarity. If the "Rarity" was not Unique it would then pick from a list of Drop Pools such as Weapons, Rings, Scrolls of Wisdom, Skills Gems, Currency etc to select a specific item to drop.
• For example, if the selected "Rarity" was Rare, and the selected Drop Pool was Weapons, then it would generate a random weapon and because the "Rarity" was Rare the weapon would generate as a Rare item. If the selected Drop Pool was Scrolls of Wisdom, then it would generate a Scroll of Wisdom. In this case the monster having more Item Rarity was mostly meaningless as if the selected "Rarity" was Normal, Magic or Rare the item generated would still be a Scroll of Wisdom.
• Because of the above, Magic monsters (which have much higher Item Rarity compared to Normal monsters) had 50% less chance to drop items that can't have rarity, such as Currency or Skill Gems, while Rare and Uniques had 80% less chance. This was to prevent the experience of killing a difficult boss and having most of the items that dropped not care about the Item Rarity of that boss.
• Item Rarity on monsters and chests has changed to now affect which Drop Pools can be selected. For example, the Scrolls of Wisdom and Portal Scrolls Drop Pools now can only be selected if the generated "Rarity" was normal. This means as monsters have more Item Rarity they will drop fewer Scrolls of Wisdom and Portal Scrolls.
• Currency item Drop Pools have been split into a Magic Currency (such as Orbs of Transmutation, Orbs of Alteration, Jeweller's Orbs) and Rare Currency (such as Orbs of Alchemy, Chaos Orbs, Divine Orbs and Mirrors of Kalandra). Magic Currency can only generate if the selected "Rarity" was Magic, and Rare Currency can only generate if the selected "Rarity" was Rare. What this amounts to is the more Item Rarity a monster has, the better the Currency items it drops.
• Because high Item Rarity on Monsters now excludes common currencies and increases the chance for valuable currencies, we have removed 50% less chance to drop items that can't have rarity from Magic Monsters, and 80% less from Rare and Unique monsters. As a result, a much greater percentage of valuable currency items you find will now be coming from Rare and Unique Monsters.
• Rare and Magic Monster modifiers no longer add Quantity of Items Dropped to Monsters.
• The amount of Rarity of Items Dropped granted by Rare and Magic Monster modifiers has been increased.
• Rare Monsters now have slightly more inherent Item Quantity.
• Monsters with high Item Rarity will now have a higher chance to drop rarer Divination Cards. Certain common Divination Cards will be restricted from dropping from monsters with very high Item Rarity.
• Removed the Expedition Remnant for increased Item Quantity from Monsters.
• For the following changes where Item Quantity has been removed, Item Rarity has been increased to compensate:
  • Delirium Fog no longer grants increased Item Quantity to Monsters.
  • Sentinels no longer grants increased Item Quantity to empowered Monsters.
  • Opulent Rituals no longer grant Ritual Monsters increased Item Quantity.
  • Shining, Radiating and Resplendent Tempests no longer grant affected Monsters increased Item Quantity.
  • Covetous Shrines no longer grant affected Monsters increased Item Quantity.
  • Monsters spawned from Verisium Ore Encounters no longer get increased Item Quantity.
  • Effects that scale the difficulty and reward of Monsters now only scale reward through Item Rarity, rather than through both Item Rarity and Item Quantity.
• The Corruption Implicit Modifier on Maps for +10-20% Item Quantity can no longer roll.
• The Item Rarity Corruption Implicit Modifier on Maps is now +10-20% Item Rarity (previously +8-12%).
• The Heist Trinket and Brooch Modifiers for increased Quantity of Items dropped in Heists can no longer roll.
• Strongbox Modifiers to contain additional items can now generate items at any Rarity (previously would only generate Normal items).
• Rewards from shipping Ores and Bars from Kingsmarch now reward only rarer Currency items and excludes all quality Currency items (this change does not affect Ruthless).
• Replaced Item Quantity on Map Modifiers with Atlas Drops at the same values. This change affects pre-existing items.
• Each percentage of increased Atlas Drops increases the quantity of Maps and Threads found in the area by 1%.
• Additionally it increases the chance for additional drops from specific monsters within Maps, such as the chance to drop a Conqueror's Exalted Orb from a Conqueror Boss or Splinters from Legion monsters.
• It also affects the quantity of League-specific resources found, such as Hiveblood from Breach monsters or Lifeforce from Harvest monsters.
• Modifiers on Heist Contracts and Blueprints, Corrupted Side Areas, Incursion Temple Modifiers and Delve Area Modifiers instead grant a higher amount of Item Rarity instead of replacing Item Quantity with Atlas Drops.
• Unidentified Maps now grant +30% Atlas Drops when opened (previously +30% Item Quantity).
• Maps with the "This Area's Modifiers to Quantity of Items found also apply to Rarity" modifier now instead have "This Map's Modifiers to Atlas Drops also apply to Item Rarity".
• Blighted Maps Anointed with Silver Oils now have +80% to Item Rarity (previously +80% to Item Quantity).
• Area modifiers on Vaal side areas in the Campaign now grant Item Rarity rather than Item Quantity.
• In Act 6 onwards, Rare and Magic Items now have a change to generate with an Item Tier, ranging from 2 to 5. The tier of the item influences the modifier tier rating on the item when it is identified, higher tier resulting in higher modifier tier rating.
• In addition, Item Tier will influence the chance for the item to be a higher level base type (for Weapons and Armours), chance to have Quality, chance for higher Quality, and chance to have more Sockets and Socket links.
• Item Rarity on Monsters affects the chance for Rare and Magic items to have Item Tiers.
• At higher levels, Item Rarity on Monsters affects the chance for Uniques that drop to be rarer Uniques, when a Unique item would drop.
• Items in Ruthless do not have Item Tiers.
• Decreased the efficacy of player Item Rarity on finding Magic, Rare and Unique Rarity items. Player Item Rarity now affects the chance to find Tiered Magic and Rare items.
• Tier 5 items have a chance to drop with +1 to Item Level.
• Tier 5 items have a chance to drop as Fractured Magic items.
• Removed many sources of Fractured Items dropping, primarily from League Mechanics such as Legion, Ritual, Heist, Blight, Delirium, Delve and Incursion.
• Removed the random Rare monster modifier conversion for all Items dropping as Fractured.
• Disabled Expedition Remnants that cause Excavated chests and Runic monsters to drop Fractured Items.
• Removed the Solid Cysts Notable Passive from the Genesis Tree Equipment subtree.
• Exceptional Rogue Exiles no longer have a chance to drop all items Fractured.
• Lowered the chance for Delve specific Rare item Modifiers to be Fractured.
• The Forgotten and The Feared Maven Invitations no longer drop bonus Fractured rare items.
• The following core drop pool item base types can now only drop on Magic and Rare items with a certain Item Tier or higher: Apothecary's Gloves, Artillery Quiver, Blue Pearl Amulet, Bone Helmet, Cerulean Ring, Crystal Belt, Fingerless Silk Gloves, Fugitive Boots, Gripped Gloves, Iolite Ring, Marble Amulet, Opal Ring, Seaglass Amulet, Spiked Gloves, Steel Ring, Two-Toned Boots, Vanguard Belt, and Vermillion Ring.
• For example, Stygian Vise requires an Item Tier of 5 to drop, while Steel Ring requires an Item Tier of at least 3 to drop.
• The following item base types have been added to the core drop pool: Astrolabe Amulet, Cogwork Ring, Composite Ring, Cord Belt, Focused Amulet, Geodesic Ring, Helical Ring, Manifold Ring, Ratcheting Ring, Simplex Amulet, and Stygian Vise. These base types can only drop on Magic and Rare items with a certain Item Tier or higher. They still drop from their current sources such as Abyssal Bosses or Heist Blueprints, but with much lower drop chances.
• Reworked how Modifier Tier Rating works to address two longstanding issues. For context, Modifier Tier Rating is a system used throughout the game to generate Magic and Rare items with higher tier Modifiers.
• This first issue was how Modifier Tier Rating can distort the relative chance to see specific types of Modifiers. This is especially noticeable for types of Modifiers with tapering weightings on the higher tier Modifiers, such as increased Physical Damage on weapons. High Modifier Tier Rating would drastically lower the chance to see increased Physical Damage modifiers.
• In the new system the chance for a specific type of Modifier to appear is not affected by Modifier Tier Rating.
• The second issue was how Modifier Tier Rating lacks granularity, resulting in additional small amounts having little to no impact unless reaching specific value breakpoints where it would have significant impact.
• In the new system every bit of Modifier Tier Rating results in higher tier Modifiers on average and there are no longer breakpoints where a large effect is noticed.
• Reduced the amount of Modifier Tier Rating granted to random Rare Items rewarded from Kingsmarch Mapping and Shipping.
• Rog now offers deals to Reroll Prefixes and Suffixes 1, 3, or 5 times, keeping the best outcome (previously 3, 6, or 10).
• Adjusted the chances for many of Rog's deals to appear. In general deals that reroll outcomes more times have lower chances to appear. All deals that upgraded the tiers of Modifiers have lower chances to appear.
• When using the Recombinator, the resultant item always has the item level of the selected input base type, rather than averaging the item level of the input base types.
• When determining the total number of Prefixes or Suffixes on the resultant item for Unpredictable Recombination, having 1-3 total Prefixes or Suffixes now results in on average fewer Prefixes or Suffixes on the resultant item. The average number of Prefixes or Suffixes on the resultant item hasn't changed if the input items had 4 or more total Prefixes or Suffixes.
• When determining the total number of Prefixes or Suffixes on the resultant item for Unpredictable Recombination, it no longer factors in modifiers that cannot legally appear on the new base item, for example, increased Armour Rating modifiers if the item is an Evasion base type.
• Reduced the Gold cost of Gambling during the mid-Campaign levels for non-Jewellery. Increased the Gold cost of Gambling for all items at high levels.
• At high level, equipment purchased from the Gambler has less Modifier Tier Rating as well as fewer Sockets and Socket Links than before.
• On the Genesis Equipment Tree, Notables now grant Birthed Equipment has 200% increased chance for a specific type of Modifier (previously 300), or Birthed Equipment has 50% reduced chance for a specific type of Modifier (previously 60%).
• On the Genesis Equipment Tree, small nodes now grant Birthed Equipment has +10 to Modifier Tier Rating (previously +20).

These are purely description changes, the range of these effects hasn't changed unless explicitly stated.
• Stat value ranges which are described textually such as the "Maximum Number of (Animated Weapons-Holy Armaments) is doubled" Modifier on The Dark Monarch Unique Helmet now instead have a popup to describe all the possible values.
