Maxroll • • technology
Key Points:
- The Path of Exile 3.29 Curse of the Allflame league launches on July 24th, 2026, featuring a new ocean exploration mechanic where players use Lost Charts to access lucrative sea floor voyages filled with monsters and rewards.
- Mercenaries return with significant changes: they are no longer permanent unless playing the new Luminary Scion Ascendancy, can be "bottled" for later rematches or trading, and now have dedicated Atlas Passive Skills and Scarabs.
- The Luminary Ascendancy class specializes in permanent Mercenaries and allows unlocking Unique item slots for them, enhancing their capabilities.
- Endgame mechanics Legion, Abyss, and Talisman receive major updates, including new unique items, improved monster behavior, and powerful enchanted modifiers replacing corrupted implicits on Talismans.
- Item socket colors have been overhauled to default to white sockets allowing any gem color, with Chromatic Orbs guaranteeing at least one colored socket and providing a gem quality bonus for matching colors; plus, nearly all spells receive buffs, and new builds and guides are available for players.
