Atlas setup vs execution, in PoE 2 terms
- PoE 2

- PoE 2
- Hub

- PoE 2

- Hub
Build Guides' Leveling list now has Ulfhednar's Earthshatter Warbringer: Rolling Slam into Boneshatter until 22, then Earthshatter with a real 1–21 / post-22 / 94% Block Progress doll from the creator's own exports.

0.5.5 Forbidden Rites notes
- PoE 2
- Hub
News has a player summary of GGG's 0.5.5 notes: Sacred Blooms are Forbidden Rites only, Trial of Chaos pays currency and Soul Cores, and Expedition tablets stack.
31 Aug 2026
Forbidden Rites FAQ
- PoE 2
- Hub
News has GGG's Forbidden Rites FAQ: the league runs until 1.0, Duelist is still December 11, and 0.5.5 systems apply in Runes of Aldur and Standard. The August 27 recap is updated to match.
27 Aug 2026
GGG Live: Forbidden Rites and the Duelist kit
- PoE 2
- Hub
News has the August 27 stream recap: 0.5.5 Forbidden Rites on September 4, Trial of Chaos overhaul, and the Duelist kit for 1.0.
21 Aug 2026
Share preview
- Hub
Link previews now show a full-site card — Learn, leveling, economy, Atlas, and builds — instead of just the logo and a leveling-guides title.
21 Aug 2026
Sorceress Ascendancy pages
- PoE 2
- Learn
Stormweaver, Chronomancer, and Disciple of Varashta join the Ascendancies section. Disciple of Varashta is marked provisional — its Djinn command-skill numbers still need a second source.
21 Aug 2026
Lich Ascendancy page
- PoE 2
- Learn
Lich joins Infernalist and Blood Mage, so Witch's three Ascendancy pages are all live.
21 Aug 2026
Witch Ascendancy pages
- PoE 2
- Learn
Infernalist and Blood Mage join the Ascendancies section. Lich is still the overview bullet only — its deep-dive page is a follow-up.
21 Aug 2026
Ranger Ascendancy pages
- PoE 2
- Learn
Deadeye and Pathfinder join the Ascendancies section. Ranger's third slot is still unrevealed, so there's no placeholder page for it.
21 Aug 2026
YouTube Shorts on Learn
- PoE 2
- Learn
Lessons can embed a YouTube Short beside class copy. Classes & Ascendancies starts with Warrior and Ranger Class Spotlights — tap to play.
21 Aug 2026
Warrior Ascendancy pages
- PoE 2
- Learn
Learn has a browsable Ascendancies section now. Titan, Warbringer, and Smith of Kitava are live — filter by class, with the rest of the roster coming as each page is verified.
21 Aug 2026
GGG Live on 27 August
- PoE 2
- Hub
News has the official save-the-date: GGG Live on 27 August, 12:30 PM PDT at twitch.tv/pathofexile. Calendar mark only — no patch summary until something actually ships.
18 Aug 2026
How trading works in PoE 2
- PoE 2
- Learn
Foundations now has a trading lesson: when the Currency Exchange unlocks (Act 4), how order matching and Gold fees work, whispers vs Ange's hideout shop, and what flipping actually means. Live rates stay on Economy.
18 Aug 2026
Runes of Aldur in Learn
- PoE 2
- Learn
Learn has a League track now. First lesson is Runes of Aldur — Runic Ward, Runeforging, and Grand Expeditions through to The Aberration. That's the current challenge league, not the gear-socket Runes in Foundations.
18 Aug 2026
PoE 1 loot filters
- PoE 1
- Tools
- Learn
The filter library and Foundations lesson now cover Path of Exile 1 too — NeverSink first (start on Semi-Strict), plus Pohx RF and fubgun endgame as specialized alternatives. Switch games in the header.
18 Aug 2026
PoE 2 loot filters
- PoE 2
- Tools
- Learn
A curated filter library at /tools/filters — NeverSink first, then a few alternatives, with outbound download links (we don't host the files). Foundations also has a lesson on what a filter is, how to install it, and when to step up a strictness tier.
17 Aug 2026
PoE 1 patch summaries
- Hub
- PoE 1
News now has short PoE 1 summaries of 3.29.0 Curse of the Allflame and 3.28.0 Mirage (the Atlas map-layout change) — not the full notes. They sit with the PoE 2 patch posts on /news.
17 Aug 2026
News in the header, plus PoE 2 patch summaries
- Hub
- PoE 2
News is now in the desktop header. The first patch posts are short PoE 2 summaries of 0.5.0 (Return of the Ancients) and 0.3.1 (Tablets left the Towers) — not the full notes. PoE 1 patches later.
17 Aug 2026
Passive and Atlas trees are a bit calmer
- Tools
- PoE 1
- PoE 2
Node and background brightness is slightly lower on both trees. Lit mastery hubs and their blue glow are smaller so they no longer wash out nearby nodes.
17 Aug 2026
PoE 2 Endgame lessons
- PoE 2
- Learn
Learn now has an Endgame track: Atlas overview, the Atlas Passive Tree, and Waystones & Tablets. More 0.5-system lessons after research. The nightly companion at /poe2/endgame is a separate feature, still in development.
17 Aug 2026
PoE 1 gems and uniques in Learn
- PoE 1
- Learn
Path of Exile 1 now has a Learn items hub: skill and support gems plus unique items, with live unique prices from Economy. Switch games in the header to jump between the two catalogs.
17 Aug 2026
Gems & uniques reference loads faster
- PoE 1
- PoE 2
- Learn
The Learn items hub now loads a slim list first and fetches the full tooltip when you inspect. Long lists (Support, All, Uniques) only render what’s on screen.
17 Aug 2026
PoE 2 unique items in Learn
- PoE 2
- Learn
The gems & runes reference now includes Uniques as a card grid. Filter by weapons, armour, jewellery, flasks, and jewels, then inspect the full unique tooltip. Gems and runes stay as rows. Unique prices wait until poe.ninja lists them.
15 Aug 2026
Passive tree is larger and brighter
- Tools
- PoE 1
- PoE 2
PoE 1 and PoE 2 passive trees now use bigger icons, thicker paths, and a faint region wash. Unallocated mastery hubs stay hidden (they are not attached to the ring). Hovering a PoE 2 cluster center still lists the surrounding notables.
15 Aug 2026
PoE 1 Learn is in development
- PoE 1
- Learn
With PoE 1 selected, Learn now says the Foundations track is in development — not broken — and points to the live campaign guide, Atlas, and economy.
15 Aug 2026
Add PoE Source to your home screen
- Hub
The phone site can be added to the home screen (Safari Share → Add to Home Screen, or Chrome’s install prompt). Same website, no extra download — not the planned native companion app.
14 Aug 2026
Game picker is playing mode
- Hub
- PoE 1
- PoE 2
Choosing PoE 1 or PoE 2 in the header stays in the page you were on — Learn stays Learn, Atlas stays Atlas — and lists hide the other game. First visit: two path cards on the home page. /poe1 and /poe2 are playing homes, not campaign-only landings.
14 Aug 2026
Flasks, charms, and Atlas lessons tightened
- PoE 2
- Learn
Ancient Vows grants +1 Charm Slot; flasks also refill at Checkpoints. Tablet cap is 3, with a 4th on City maps if Industrial Improvements is allocated. Greater/Perfect Chaos Orbs are the same one-mod swap.
14 Aug 2026
Atlas, Waystones, and currency lesson
- PoE 2
- Learn
PoE 2 Foundations now has a tenth lesson on the Map Device, why Precursor Tablets go on the map (not Towers), the Atlas Passive Tree, and which orbs actually exist — Chaos is a one-mod swap, and Orb of Alteration is not in the game.
14 Aug 2026
Flasks and Charms lesson
- PoE 2
- Learn
PoE 2 Foundations now has a ninth lesson on Life/Mana flasks (heal over time, not instantly), belt-gated charms that auto-trigger, and why an ES pool still needs Staunching and Antidote.
14 Aug 2026
Survival and resistances lesson
- PoE 2
- Learn
PoE 2 Foundations now has an eighth lesson on why 75% resist isn’t enough: campaign penalties, Chaos Resistance’s different rules, Energy Shield ordering, ailments, and Stun vs Freeze.
14 Aug 2026
Runes and Soul Cores lesson revised
- PoE 2
- Learn
Foundations lesson 6 now states that Runes and Soul Cores share the same Item Sockets — the difference is acquisition and power, not socket type.
14 Aug 2026
Skill gems lesson revised
- PoE 2
- Learn
Foundations lesson 5 now states that a Meta Gem occupies one of the 9 active skill slots — the linked skill sockets into it, and that slot’s supports apply to both.
14 Aug 2026
Weapon swap lesson revised
- PoE 2
- Learn
Foundations lesson 4 now treats Weapon Set Points as a capacity cap on ordinary passive points, not a second currency — tagging still spends a normal point, just under a Book of Specialisation-raised maximum.
14 Aug 2026
Classes and Ascendancies lesson revised
- PoE 2
- Learn
Foundations lesson 3 now states that either trial unlocks your Ascendancy pick immediately, and that starting attributes do not gate which of a class’s Ascendancies you can choose.
14 Aug 2026
Core mechanics lesson revised
- PoE 2
- Learn
Foundations lesson 1 now walks hit resolution in order (Evasion → Armour → Energy Shield → Life), confirms Chaos resistance is exempt from campaign penalties, and treats the two Ascendancy trials as parallel paths to one shared point track.
14 Aug 2026
Boss stagger lesson
- PoE 2
- Learn
PoE 2 Foundations now has a seventh lesson on Heavy Stun, Light Stun, Electrocute vs Shock vs Freeze, the melee/physical stagger bonus, and why bosses don’t stay locked down.
14 Aug 2026
Instill on PoE 2 strategies
- PoE 2
- Tools
PoE 2 extra juice is now Instill: up to three Liquid Emotions on the waystone, priced from Economy. They sit beside tablets and do not take a device slot. Tablet copy now notes that waystone mods unlock 1–3 sockets.
14 Aug 2026
Unique tablet prices on PoE 2 strategies
- PoE 2
- Tools
PoE 2 juice now reads Unique Tablet listings from Economy (Runes of Aldur). Meet Breach sockets Wraeclast Besieged (~6ex) for extra hive waves. Base tablets still have no currency price.
14 Aug 2026
Juice tooltips show item text
- PoE 1
- PoE 2
- Tools
Map-device hover cards now include effect text for every scarab, Allflame Ember, fragment, tablet, astrolabe, Delirium orb, and Liquid Emotion — including Zorath's Eyes and unique tablets.
14 Aug 2026
Allflame and fragments on the map device
- PoE 1
- Tools
PoE 1 strategy juice slots now take scarabs, one Allflame Ember, and the full Map Fragment list (Sacrifice, Mortal, pinnacle keys, vessels, emblems, and the rest). They share the five device slots and count toward Juice / map.
14 Aug 2026
Runes and Soul Cores lesson
- PoE 2
- Learn
PoE 2 Foundations now has a sixth lesson on item sockets, Runes vs Soul Cores, Artificer's Orbs, and overwriting socketables. The gems lesson links through.
14 Aug 2026
PoE 1 strategy extras
- PoE 1
- Tools
PoE 1 strategies can now set a Maven / Eater / Exarch beacon, one Atlas astrolabe, and up to five Delirium orbs — all alongside five scarabs. Delirium prices count in Juice / map; astrolabe is shown per region.
13 Aug 2026
PoE 1 Atlas stops at 138 nodes
- PoE 1
- Tools
You can no longer allocate more than the 138 Atlas points PoE 1 gives you. PoE 2 stays uncapped for now.
13 Aug 2026
Phone companion on the roadmap
- Hub
After the website launch we plan a small phone app for campaign, Learn, and prices — same account as the site — not a copy of every desktop tool. Atlas editors stay on the web.
13 Aug 2026
Steadier phone homepage
- Hub
The development notice and home buttons keep their space from the first paint, so the page no longer jumps once scripts load.
13 Aug 2026
Faster phone homepage
- Hub
The home emblem is served at display size instead of a 1 MB PNG, the Atlas WebGL viewer is no longer downloaded until you open a build tree, and below-the-fold news art no longer competes with the first paint.
13 Aug 2026
Mobile Explore and inspect
- Hub
- PoE 1
- PoE 2
On phones, Explore keeps Search, Game, and Sort in a sticky bar — extra filters sit behind a tap. Notes, boss guides, and similar inspect panels open as a bottom sheet instead of a centered card.
13 Aug 2026
Mobile category pills
- PoE 2
- Learn
On phones, gems & runes categories — and other side-scrolling category menus — are tappable pills instead of a plain text row.
13 Aug 2026
Mobile gems & runes
- PoE 2
- Learn
On phones, tapping a gem or rune in Learn opens a bottom sheet instead of a preview stacked above the list. Larger screens keep the side inspect rail.
13 Aug 2026
Mobile build gear
- PoE 1
- PoE 2
- Tools
On phones, the build paperdoll is larger. Tap an item, gem, or tree node for a bottom sheet with a Close button — the old hover tooltip no longer sticks or reopens when you try to dismiss it.
13 Aug 2026
Mobile strategy map
- PoE 1
- PoE 2
- Tools
On phones, a strategy is a full-height Atlas. Map, scarabs or tablets, mods, and the run loop open as bottom sheets. Larger screens keep the side rail and centered editors.
13 Aug 2026
Mobile tree viewer
- PoE 1
- PoE 2
- Tools
On phones, Atlas and passive-tree pages are a full-height map: pinch and pan the tree, Fit path and Details on the canvas. The old stacked progress card and 40%-tall sidebar no longer cover the view. Larger screens keep the side rail.
13 Aug 2026
Mobile tab bar
- Hub
Phones get Guide, Progress, Explore, and More along the bottom. The header keeps Game, Act, and account. More opens Learn, Tools, News, Atlas, Strategies, and My Builds.
13 Aug 2026
Mobile economy categories
- PoE 1
- PoE 2
- Tools
On phones, economy categories are a compact picker in the sticky filter bar instead of a long horizontal chip row. The full category rail stays on larger screens.
13 Aug 2026
Mobile Atlas view and progress drawers
- PoE 1
- PoE 2
- Tools
- Hub
On phones, tapping the Atlas inspects a node instead of allocating. Campaign Progress and PoE 1 Reference get a Zones-style floating panel for the left-rail jumps that used to vanish on small screens.
13 Aug 2026
Gems & runes reference
- PoE 2
- Learn
Browse Path of Exile 2 skill, support, Lineage, and Spirit gems plus runes, soul cores, and idols. Hover or tap to preview, star to pin, and see live prices on the types that trade.
13 Aug 2026

13 Aug 2026
PoE 1 cluster jewels on imported trees
- PoE 1
- Tools
Imported Path of Building trees now grow cluster-jewel wheels from socketed jewels instead of drawing overlapping radius rings on those sockets. Nested Medium/Small clusters attach to the parent wheel.
13 Aug 2026
Strategy walkthrough videos
- PoE 1
- PoE 2
- Tools
Authors can attach a YouTube URL in Edit details. Runners (and the author) get a Watch button that opens the video in a modal — optional, not required for Public. Explore cards show a Video chip when a walkthrough is set.
13 Aug 2026

12 Aug 2026
Passive tree WebGL viewer
- PoE 1
- PoE 2
- Tools
Saved builds, public shares, and /tools/tree now render the PoE 1 and PoE 2 passive trees with PixiJS/WebGL — smoother pan/zoom, brighter art (ascendancy rings, group plates, tiled backdrop), cluster-jewel proxies, and jewel gems that sit correctly in their sockets. Atlas already uses the same WebGL path.
11 Aug 2026
Endgame guides paused — in development
- PoE 1
