Prizes for new Default/Hardcore leagues

At these two points in time, the top player by experience on both the default and hardcore ladders will receive Path of Exile swag in the form of:

  • An A1 Map of Wraeclast Poster
  • A Path of Exile Soundtrack CD
  • A Path of Exile Game DVD

The top 10 players on the default and hardcore ladders will receive a Demigod's Presence - the unique amulet which is not destroyed by the wipe when we enter Open Beta.

The top 20 players on both ladders will receive the following microtransaction credit:

  • #1: 500 Points (valued at $50)
  • #2: 400 Points (valued at $40)
  • #3: 300 Points (valued at $30)
  • #4-5: 200 Points (valued at $20)
  • #6-10: 100 Points (valued at $10)
  • #11-20: 50 Points (valued at $5)

There are no currency-item prizes for these leagues.

What will happen if you win, and you already have a supporter pack with the poster, soundtrack and dvd?

Will you get two copies?


Yes, or you can nominate another player to receive them.

What about those of us who actually have real 9-5 jobs and can only play for 2-3 hours per evening (if that's actually possible with running the household, kids, wife and all that crap, geez real life interupting) and wish to have a decent shot at any prize?


I want to support leagues for people who only get a few hours per day to play (like me...)

The problem is that our designs for such leagues always have cheesy ways to bypass the limit, like playing on multiple accounts and handing off the items/currency from the bad account to the good one after each session.

"Easy rewards"

People who stay alive in races up till very high levels earned their rewards. They are by no means easy. Case in point? People complaining about others getting these rewards.

Those easy rewards as you call them are one of the major incentives this game has a long term appeal to me and many others. I want there to be many, many more races once this game goes live. Not less or none.


Staying alive till 60 lvl isn't hard. I haven't played a lot but i still managed to get with one of my chars up to lvl 60 without dying, so it is not a problem for a more experienced player. I don't complain about others getting rewards, i just want them to be adequate.
I can't participate in races, because i have a job, real life issues and so on.
But i play this game and tell you, i haven't had GCP or above (in terms of trade value) orb drop in a whole playtime, tell me THAT is rewarding.

"All characters over level 60 will receive 32 random currency items.
All characters over level 50 will receive 24 random currency items.
All characters over level 40 will receive 16 random currency items.
All characters over level 30 will receive 8 random currency items."

Do not tell me those rewards quoted above are hard earned. I bet you can get several exalts or divines or GCP, because "These are weighted equally".

Now please play a week and tell me how many you find.
If you want to know REAL value of these orbs, just remove rewards from races and watch them skyrocket.

If you want to play races, be my guest, but this is not supposed to be main income of high valuable orbs.


I really agree with this. We'll probably experiment with different prize structures in the three-hour leagues that feed into the new default/hardcore. They're meant to be about racing for the sake of racing, rather than about getting more wealth than you do through normal play. Having said that, there will still be some prizes. More information in a few days, I guess.
