Something Blue.

Something borrowed, something bright blue - wedding bells are thunking throughout Wraeclast, and you're invited! Who's the lucky bride? The dashing groom? You'll have to fight waves and waves of monsters to find out! (Hint: guests are all arriving on rhexes with tin cans tied to their tails, and Jun has been extra distracted lately for some reason! And forget Valdo, where's IRASHA?)

mounted combat league

you thought cluster jewels broke everything? just wait.

Going for snow based patch.

After the fog of Delirium the whole of Wraeclast has been frozen. Players must now fight through blinding snowstorms and every map now looks the same as glacier. The map ends when you find a rhoa that you can slice open and crawl inside for warmth - hence the patch art.

Something blue?
Path of Exile: Depression League

See all the streamers get items that will never drop for you, with builds that won't work for you (even if you copy them exactly) and despair as there's nothing you can do to change this!!

Path of Exile: Depression League coming soon!!

Bestiary Mark II

We get to capture... MOUNTS this time (take a look at the teaser pic).
OFC, we'll need to collect multiples of *every* beast to tame a single mount (whatever we'd use one for... except as a pack mule). There will be three currencies, in the form of baits/treats, associated with each 'tier' of mount - 10 mount tiers. Three like baits can be traded in for the next bait of that association; or three random baits for a random bait of the next tier. You can 'stake out' (literally - with rope and stakes) a captured 'mount' of one type to lure a rare of the next tier higher or potentially a 'boss' of the current tier.

These will be utilized like spectres, but alterable.
You will be given a 'saddle' and a 'bridle' of varying types (per beast type/tier). Bridles can have 4 links, saddles can have 6 links. The mount will attack, as per spectres, utilizing the attack (melee or ranged) skills given depending on their range to whatever the player is currently attacking. Mounts cannot activate (use) auras or skills which reserve resources.

Default will allow players to reign and command one mount. A league specific unique (helm) will allow players to reign two identical mounts. Mounts cannot be mixed. Mount life (ES & Life are both 'life' to the mount) roughly 2x player's own, defenses (armor/ev/dodge), and other stats are all based off of the player's skilltree. They are not considered 'minions' and do not gain anything that pertains solely to minions (unless it also pertains to the player - Spiritual Aid, ect).

Mounts will have two modes: Hunter (aggressive - seeks out foes that are on screen, taunt, and hinder) or Guard (stay near player. In guard mode mounts take 10% damage from all sources directed at the player and only attack things directly attacking the player).

A deceased mount can only be regained by visiting the Stable (the Bestiary pens).

Mounts can use Talismans. Talismans associated with the mount do not affect player.
Mounts are *NOT* skillgems, and cannot be affected by supports outside of their bridle/saddle. They are activated by placing the appropriate mount 'item' in a specialized box on the inventory screen.


Also:
As a change this league portal scrolls and wisdom scrolls will have their stack size increased to 100 and be given two slots on the inventory screen outside of the inventory pane.

tbh this league will be corona league poison and chaos damage will be vastly increased also added a vaal contagion gem i tell ya.

Azurite, we'll be delving into infinity x2.
