In Path of Exile 3.25, runes have been revived as an effective farming currency thanks to the buffs they’ve received. In the current league, you can trade some Power Runes for some Divine Orbs, and you can even use these runes for powerful Rune Smithing upgrades to make your builds even more powerful.

So farming runes are very important in the current league, and there are now many ways to get them, and you don’t even have to spend too much time on it. This guide will show you how to farm these runes efficiently in Settlers of Kalguur League.

Common Ways

There are two ways to get runes in the current Settlers of Kalguur League. The first is to use shipping to send resources needed by neighboring cities to Riben Fell, Kalguur and Podium ports for them in the new Kingsmarch introduced this season. They will give you some runes, resources and some POE Currency in return.

The second way to get runes is to go through some boss encounters in Kingsmarch, such as Black Knight, Bandit Lord Sasan, or Admiral Valerius. You can also find some runes, weapons and Unique POE Items you need in the loot after defeating them.

However, encountering the above bosses requires a certain amount of luck, because they will not wait for you to challenge them quietly like the bosses in other games. They will only appear after you reach certain conditions that require luck. For example, Black Knight will appear in one of your many T16 maps, and the probability is very small; Starfall Crater also appears randomly on the map. Although Bandit Lord Sasan will kidnap your mappers while they are working, the probability is also very small, and you can also directly abandon these workers because your build is not strong enough.

Admiral Valerius will appear when you are trading at your port. You can either choose to fight a battle with Admiral Valerius at Sailor’s Folly to rescue your crew and cargo, or you can just pay some huge ransom to avoid this boss fight.

These boss encounters are very luck-based, so this is not the best way to get runes. You can try, but try not to rely on it. Alternatively, you can run more maps or ship higher-value cargo to increase your chances of encountering these encounters.

Best Way

Of the two methods, the best way to farm Runes is through shipping. If you look closely at the screen in your shipping interface, you will see a silver or rune icon on the banner next to the port name, so these ports will provide you with Runes as a reward.

Regardless of what resources you send to these ports, whether it increases the favor of the country with Kingsmarch, as long as you start trading, you will receive some Runes and POE Currency when your crew returns safely to the town.

So you can see that the way to keep farming Runes is to keep your crew shipping and trading. For example, Riben Fell Port only requires you to wait 30 minutes to complete a transaction, and you can send multiple ships to this port at the same time. This means that you can complete 6 shipments to Riben Fell every hour.

But before shipping, you still need to confirm the amount of resources you have left. If you can’t allocate and manage them effectively, your resources will be exhausted very quickly and wasteful. Additionally, if you want to increase the value of your shipments to more than 600,000, you’d better add about 9,500 Thaumaturgic Dusts to your shipments. Additionally, ores are not as rewarding as ingots, so you can smelt your ore into ingots before sending your resources to get 5x the rewards and POE Currency.

In Path of Exile Patch 3.25.1 released some time ago, some changes were made to Thaumaturgic Dusts. At the beginning of the league, Thaumaturgic Dusts not only increased the overall value of the shipment, bringing you more returns, but also increased the risk of shipping. But after the patch, Thaumaturgic Dusts only increase the value of the shipment, and will not cause a high risk of shipping!

So you can disassemble the weapons or armor you don’t need that are returned to you by other ports into Thaumaturgic Dusts, so that you will get higher returns on runes and resources. If you don’t have much time to trade in the pre-game all day, you can stabilize your shipment value between 4-5 million, so that you can at least guarantee a Divine Orb, which is not possible with crops and ores alone.

But it should be noted that you should not send all the goods to a certain port, because there will be many ports that can provide you with different runes at the same time. Remember to spread out your risks and not concentrate all your resources in one place. Although the risk of shipping is reduced now, it does not mean that it has disappeared. You still need to pay attention to some potential risks in shipping.

These are some effective ways to farm runes in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur. The specific scenarios for using these two methods are completely up to you. I hope you will have fun playing in the modified Kingsmarch town, and I wish you happy exploring this league!

After Path of Exile Settlers of Kalguur league was officially launched some time ago, it broke the historical record of concurrent online players of this old game, and it is also the league with the highest player retention rate among all leagues so far, so it is also called one of the best leagues ever by many players.

At the stage when it was just released, even with excellent new features, there were still some shortcomings. But fortunately, the developer released Patch 3.25.1 in time to make up for the poor experience of players. This guide will introduce you to what changes you will experience in this Patch 3.25.1.

Changes In Kingsmarch

In POE Patch 3.25.1, the shipping risks and rewards generated by your transportation of Thaumaturgic Dust in Kingsmarch have been redesigned. Previously, Thaumaturgic Dust would multiply the value of shipping and the risk was higher.

Now, Thaumaturgic Dust only increases the value of your cargo, and adjusts the amount of rewards you get based on what other cargo you place. This means that Thaumaturgic Dust only indirectly affects POE Currency and other rewards you get, and does not affect the risk you take, which is a very successful buff.

In addition, when you are Recombining items, the chance of those rarer modifiers being selected for the resulting item is much higher than before, which is very useful for you to run some high-reward maps later. It is worth noting that in this patch, you can trade Uber Boss Fragments, missing Fossils, and Blighted Scouting Report directly at Currency Exchange.

At the same time, Recombination has also been improved, but overall it is still not as useful as most crafting systems, and the specific practicality depends on what you want to use it to help you.

To prevent you from accidentally leaving during Kingsmarch exploration, the developers placed the portal to your respawn point away from Admiral Valerius boss area. This is very helpful for players who want to complete the game in one go, as they don’t want to lose the entire team because of their own mistakes.

Tier 17 Map Changes

Although the T17 Maps have changed a lot in Settlers of Kalguur League and have become easier to explore, as mentioned before, there are still a lot of gaps, so in Patch 3.25.1, some Tier 17 Map Modifiers have been adjusted and removed. Let’s take a look at each one.

Adjusted Tier 17 Map Modifiers

The first adjustment is Tier 17 Sawblades mod, which has been slowed down and the number of sawblades has been reduced from 6 to 3. This will affect your efficiency in running some T17 Maps, so you can try to discard it.

Now let’s take a look at some of the buffed Map Modifiers. Marked for Death debuff no longer prevents your life and energy shield from regenerating, and it also increases your damage by 50%, up from 20% before. This will make you more capable and survivable when running some of the more dangerous maps.

If you use a skill that summons Minions on a map, you and your Minions will have a longer time to deal damage. Previously, you could only deal damage to enemies for 6 seconds out of 10 seconds, but now it’s 7 seconds! Although it’s only a one-second increase, as long as you use POE Currency to increase the DPS of your build a little, it’s very likely that you will defeat the enemy directly in this second.

In addition, your Action Speed ​​will also increase when using skills, which will increase your flexibility in fighting in the map. But unfortunately, the monster’s area of ​​effect is now increased by 100%, and Extra Damage from Critical Strikes is reduced by 35%-45%. If you encounter Rare monsters on a certain map, they will also reverse damage you by 5% of your health, mana, and energy shield when you hit them, and your Minions are no exception.

Under this change, it will be a big challenge for you to re-select and adjust your build, so before you explore Tier 17 Map, make sure your build can support you easily through the early and mid-game stages, and safely through the endgame stage.

Deprecated Tier 17 Map Modifiers

After Patch 3.25.1, all Monsters in Tier 17 Map you are running will no longer have Effect of Curses on them, meaning you can no longer rely on Effect of Curses to damage these enemies, and you will need to find another way.

In addition, when you fight with your allies, the effect that damage you take will be applied to your allies will no longer exist, so you can fight side by side with your friends without worrying about it. In addition, you can now directly obtain Endurance, Frenzy, or Power Charges, which greatly enhances you.

The removal of these mods means that your strength in the map will continue to increase, and with a strong build, you will definitely have fun exploring the map in the future!

As Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur League develops, there will definitely be more patches and changes released that will increase the player experience, and we will continue to pay attention. I hope you can have fun playing in this changed league!

After patch 3.25.1, some Shipping mechanisms have changed a lot, so many players want to know what other secret tricks can help us earn a lot of currency in POE 3.25 in the form of Mirror Shards, Power Runes, Journey Tattoos and Divines.

If you are also looking for the answer, then this guide will come in handy. Here, we will explain everything from the beginning, analyze all the problems you may encounter in Shipping, and share some interesting tips. Without further ado, let’s get started!

Before You Start

First, before you start shipping, make sure:

• Upgrade your Town to the highest level so that you can hire level 10 recruits.
• Upgrade your Harbour to the highest level.
• Upgrade your Farm to the highest level.
• Upgrade both your Mine and Smelter to the highest level.

If you want level 9 to 10 peasants working for you 24/7, you need to always have gold deposited into your Kingsmarch bank account. Make sure you have several miners and smelters to collect each type of ore and turn it into bars. Finally, remember not to spend too much money to recruit more than 1 level 8+ miner and smelter!

Shipment Tips

First, start with the shipments, this is very important! Before making any shipments, whether you are sending or collecting, do not use a character below level 90. That’s right, your character level will also affect your rewards. In fact, I even recommend that most players have a character above level 95 to handle shipments.

These functions work even when you are offline, so if you are upgrading another build, you can occasionally log in with a level 90+ character to send and receive your goods. Therefore, you are not limited to only using 1 build in POE 3.25.

Now let’s talk about shipments. If you want currency items like Divines, Exalteds, and Mirror Shards, you can choose to send crop items like Wheat and Corn. If you want Scarabs, you can send Verisium to Riben Fell.

In short, no matter what you send, the ship will always return with Runes if the destination is Black Flag, and Tattoos if it is Green Flag.

As you can see, each port has a quota. If you complete these quotas, they will reward you with a unique item, and then they will re-roll and give you another quota.

In addition, if you send items that fall into this quota, their rewards will also be adjusted according to the percentage they show. The percentage is not important, you just need to make sure you always have what they ask for.

Example

Let’s take an example here. Let’s say we have Bismuth (an ore) and Wheat (a crop). We will send 2 separate shipments for these two types. Although some people have said not to mix crops with ores, we still doubt this view.

So, how much Bismuth should we send? Actually, you only need to send bars, which are the finished goods from smelters, not the ore from mines. Then, you take the port quota or the quota that is left over, and divide it by 5. Now copy and paste that result and send it. It’s that simple!

When we receive the goods, the quota for Bismuth here is completed! Now you don’t need a crew of 6 to send small shipments like this, because they will consume too much gold when traveling. Of course, if you have a good gold reserve, you can also ignore it completely.

The next quota for this port is Wheat! Now, unlike bars, which have item rewards, it brings POE Currency, which every exile is very interested in. Therefore, you want to throw as little as your ship can carry without showing red. Our recommendation is at least 7K of each crop. The more crops are mixed, the better.

Now, we produce a lot of crops with level 9 and 10 peasants. The ship we are using does not have any level 10 sailors, but each level 9 sailor is enough to send 3.8 million worth of shipments. If you don’t want to take any risks here, this is what you do with small shipments that you send once or twice a day.

In this example, we sent a total of 3.1 million crops and some Dust until we hit the maximum of 3.8 million. In the end, we harvested 3 tier 1 currency items, including Exalted Orb and Sacred Orb. So no matter what, you are guaranteed to get 2 or more tier 1 currency items.

As I mentioned, if the destination also wants your other crops, your rewards will also increase. Of course, you can also send unsolicited shipments to the destination, which will still get 1 or 2 Divine Orbs. But this will not be as efficient as sending the crops they want, which is why we also have to meet quotas.

But please note that GGG does not set quotas for fun, and the unique rewards are mostly garbage. So this is the entire purpose of it.

How To Get More Dust?

Now let’s make some Dust! First, upgrade your Disenchanter to the highest level as well.

Since Dust is optional, its entire purpose in terms of shipping is just to increase your returns when you don’t want to spend too much food. So looking at the shipment value, if you send the same amount of Dust as this shipment value, you’ll basically get back twice the value of what you put in.

In other words, the value of Dust is 1:1 with the value of the item you put in. Don’t spend more Dust than the base shipment value, because it only gives diminishing returns.

Therefore, many people who make the highest shipments will stack up to 25 million shipment values ​​and then put in another 25 million Dust, bringing their return to 50 million. In short, Dust just doubles the effect of every item you put in.

But how do we make so much Dust? This is why we have to start disenchanting unique items.

For many players, most Uniques that are dropped as trash items can have a considerable Dust value. This mainly depends on the rarity of the item dropped.

Secondly, the item level is also important. As the item tiers increase, the value of Dust they bring increases. On the other hand, rolls are completely unimportant, and you can get such things in trades for 25 Chaos Orbs or less.

Ore & Gold Farming

Besides that, the biggest concern for most casual players is how to maintain ore and gold. In fact, the solution for gold is simple. You just need to prepare a Ventor’s Gamble and a decent Gold Flask to use when you hit rare or unique enemies. By doing this, you can get up to 40k gold per map. Then by farming with T17 Strongbox, you can also get more than 70k gold per map.

Next, what should we do with the quota of 120,000 Orichalcum and other ores? Perhaps you can take a look at our previous Alch and Go Strat guide, where you will find the answer. With this strategy, you can get 800 to 1100 in T16 and 1000 to 1400 in T17 by just going on the map, clicking on the ore, coming out and repeating.

Most of the time, you will get 2 or more ores in a map. If you are willing to spend 3 or 4 hours a day playing Path of Exile 3.25, you will get more.

How To Get T0 Unique Items?

The last question is, how to get tier 0 unique items? So far, we have discussed farming tips for tier 1 items, but how do people get Mirror Shards, Power Runes and Journey Tattoos? It comes down to only one answer, that is, the higher the shipment value of crops and Dust, the better your chances of getting these.

Every day on Reddit, you will see someone post a 50 million shipment and get crazy loot. But the problem is, some people will also be unlucky. That’s how it works.

But you can greatly reduce your risk in the process of shipping by trying a few methods. You need all crew members to be at the highest level, which is level 10, especially when shipping high-value shipments. You need a ship with this crew, and we strongly recommend choosing multiple crop quotas like this one.

Hopefully, these tips will help you enjoy POE 3.25 more and take advantage of Shipping mechanic to earn more loot! Good luck!

As always, Lightning Strike Slayer is still the top build for most Path of Exile fans when completing Challenge League. If you haven't tried it yet, now is a good time.

Here, we will bring you Lightning Strike Slayer build we created in POE 3.25 League. Compared to the previous League, we have optimized it so that you can get higher damage and defense with a lower budget and simpler playstyle.

If you want to know what is special about this build, then I have to mention the damage it brings! Since this build uses Banishing Blade, it comes with Inquisitor’s Inevitable Judgement, which means you don’t even have to invest more POE Currency in Elemental Penetration to get enough damage. Therefore, this is also your best choice when challenging T17 maps and Uber Bosses. Let’s take a look at it!

Gear

The most substantial part of the gear is Banishing Blade Two-Hand Sword that you get from Heist. Also, you want to look for gear with high elemental DPS, attack speed, and crit chance. If you get the hidden modifiers for strength, intelligence, and crit chance, you can save 1 passive point here.

Projectiles Pierce

You also need an open prefix to make Projectiles Pierce, and an open suffix to do double damage. Projectiles Pierce is a huge quality of life when mapping. On top of that, since we are using returning projectiles, they must pierce to hit the same target again.

In Lightning Strike, each projectile counts as a separate entity. Since Strike skill targets additional enemies, this build also counts hits from melee and projectiles as separate calculations. And with the help of anoint on Amulet, this becomes even more consistent. That’s why we have 2 different damage types in the full DPS section. The target is guaranteed to take two hits from each.

Tincture

Now Tincture is very powerful when activated, so don’t use it before hitting anything. You need to activate it when you have increased your chance to hit. Because mana burn also requires you to leech a lot of mana, and mana leech is not instant like our life leech.

Vaal Pact

Don’t use Life Flasks if you get Vaal Pact. Because Vaal Pact can’t let you recover in any way, which causes your Life Flasks to not work either.

Vaal Pact can make you instant leech, but you are completely dependent on Slayer’s Overleech. This also means that you have to constantly hit something. Progenesis is one of the best alternatives to Life Flasks in this case, because it will give you a lot of effective HP when activated. If you can’t afford Progenesis, use any other item other than Life Flasks to replenish your life.

Jewels

Although we only used a few Jewels, there are a lot of things that can go wrong here. You need to get at least 1 Rage on Hit Modifier through Lethal Pride Rakiata Jewel. Other good mods include Double Damage, Melee Critical Multi, and Melee Damage.

In addition, you’ll want a gem that’s immune to Corrupted Blood, and you’ll just need to focus on its Life, Crit Multi, and Global Accuracy Rating. If you need more Lightning Resistance to reach the cap, you can get that here, too.

Why Use Bleeding?

For the nodes in this build, basically any time you inflict Bleeding you’ll get a ton of crits. But you need some way to inflict Bleeding in the first place.

While the small node gives us a 20% Bleeding Chance, only physical damage can inflict Bleeding. Our primary weapon doesn’t have it, thanks to Rune Enchant. If a POB is taking up these nodes, it should either have Bleeding DPS in Damage section, or some physical damage in Calculation section.

We can fix this with a rare gem, though, that increases the physical damage of the attack. As long as you have some physical damage, your Bleeding Chance will work.

How To Stack Ailment Damage?

Since this build uses Taming and Yoke of Suffering, we stack up to 5 Elemental Ailments using Secrets of Suffering Jewel. We have Sap, Scorch and Brittle on our weapons, and Shock and Chill via Summon Skitterbots. This way we maximize Ailment damage this build deals.

Mana Reservation

Since the mana sustain of attack hit builds is via leech, you also need some skills that reduce the mana cost of skills to maintain the leech effect. Once you catch this node early, mastering this build will not be a big problem. And its mana reservation is also directly taken from Passive Skill Tree and Eldritch Implicit Modifiers in Helmet.

I must remind you not to upgrade your Precision! Because the higher your Precision level, the more space it takes up.

Finally, do not activate Arctic Armour! Do not link more duration to other gems. We only use Vaal Arctic Armour to face Maven Memory Game and Searing Exarch Balls. Of course, you can also use Vaal Haste instead.

Why Does Lightning Strike Perform Poorly In The Early Game?

But to be honest, Lightning Strike is one of those skills that perform poorly during the lower levels, and its advantages increase exponentially in the later stages. It only performs well when you have Pierce and a lot of Projectiles.

Because skills like Lightning Strike treat individual projectiles as separate entities. But in fact, the default 3 projectiles without quality are fired in a straight line, and 4 projectiles are not an ideal number. Only when it reaches 5 or more projectiles will the effect be better. Therefore, if you also want each of them to hit a single target for a better clear speed, you must have enough projectiles.

In addition, Lightning Strike is one of those projectiles that perform better on critical hits like Frost Blades, so Precise Technique for this may not be as good as Bow skills, Splitting Steel, and Spectral Throw.

Nevertheless, the advantages of this build in POE 3.25 cannot be easily covered up. In general, for Lightning Strike Slayer, as long as you can blow up the monsters in some way, you can complete all the maps faster and fight to the end! This also adds more fun to your gaming experience! So, hurry up and try it!

In Path of Exile, the highest level unique items have a special name called T0 or Tier 0 to indicate their rarity and power. These T0 Uniques have unique properties not found on other items and are the core of various endgame builds. In Path of Exile 3.25, although the balance of the game has changed and new content has been added, such as the increase and remake of skills, the status of these T0 Uniques is still unshakable.

Like many items in the game, T0 Uniques also require you to use a certain strategy to farm them. So this guide will introduce you to which T0 Uniques are in the current league and how to farm them in a targeted manner.

What Are T0 Uniques In The Current League?

The list of T0 Uniques will be updated as new league mechanics are released. For example, some previously lower-level Uniques may be promoted to T0 Uniques, or they may be removed from the list. The following are the current T0 Uniques in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur, but because patches are constantly changing, they are for reference only.

Soul Taker

Soul Taker is a One Handed Axe in the game. Its dominant type of damage to the enemy is Physical Damage, which is about 264-308. It is worth noting that the critical hit rate of this One Handed Axe is as high as 5%. Although it is relatively low in T0 Uniques, it can still allow you to achieve a fatal effect in battle.

In addition, Soul Taker can attack 1.80-1.88 times per second, which will cause relatively continuous physical damage to the enemy, and coupled with the 20% increase in attack speed in the new league, you can win the battle very easily.

Although the weapon range of Soul Taker is only 1.1 meters, don’t be discouraged. The 119 Str and 82 Dex you hold can keep you flexible in close combat, and Soul Taker will also increase your Cold Resistance by 25%, allowing you to suffer less damage when facing enemies who initiate freezing control on you.

Essentia Sanguis

Essentia Sanguis is a melee weapon in Settlers of Kalguur League, because it is a Claw weapon, and also a melee weapon. Although it can only cause you 29-76 Physical Damage, Elemental Damage is immeasurable, up to 700!

But don’t think that those Physical Damages are not important, because 2% of Physical Damage can be converted into your health for you, greatly enhancing your character’s survivability, allowing you to pass all stages safely and get the ultimate reward - POE Currency.

If you want to use Essentia Sanguis, you need to make sure that your character has reached level 66 and has 95 Dex and 131 Int. Here is a tip for you. If you hold two Claw weapons in both hands, there is an 8% chance to block some enemy attacks on you, so you can try it when facing some very aggressive enemies.

Speaking of defense, Essentia Sanguis gives you 30-40 Energy Shield, and even when Energy Shield is maxed out, Energy Shield Leech Effects used to attack are not removed. This gives you both high damage and high tankiness.

Lioneye’s Glare

Lioneye’s Glare is one of the few Bow weapons that made it to T0 Uniques with the melee buff. It made this list mainly because of its excellent Physical Damage, which is about 394.8-453, and your Elemental Damage will increase by 20%-24% when you use attack skills to fight enemies.

These high damage levels make Lioneye’s Glare a magnificent weapon, not to mention that it also increases your attack speed by 10%-20%. These attributes, combined with the 5% critical strike rate, will definitely make it very easy for you to face some early and mid-game enemies.

But the major disadvantage of ranged weapons, Lioneye’s Glare also has it. It can not effectively avoid the enemy’s precise attacks, so you need to invest at least 212 in your Dex to ensure that you can use it well.

Voltaxic Rift

Like Lioneye’s Glare, Voltaxic Rift is also a Bow, but its Physical Damage is not very good, only 38-115, but you can also find the reason for its inclusion in this list in Elemental Damage it causes - up to 750.

In addition, it can also cause 600-750 Lightning Damage for you in battle, and can even convert all of it into Chaos Damage. This variety of damage types can help you not have to change weapons too often when facing different types of enemies.

It is worth mentioning that your Chaos Damage can cause Shock effects on enemies, and the maximum Shock effect can be increased to 40%. Coupled with the 10%-15% increase in attack speed for you, you will definitely have a deep interest in this ranged weapon.

Headhunter

After talking about weapons, let’s take a look at some accessories. The first one to introduce is Headhunter, which is a belt you can wear. It increases your maximum health by 25-40 and increases your damage to all rare monsters by 20%-30%.

If you think that's all there is to it, you're wrong. It also affects the various attributes your character invests in, such as increasing your Strength by 40-55 and Dexterity by 40-55. These two are very useful in some important builds.

Defiance Of Destiny

Another accessory that has entered the ranks of T0 Uniques is Defiance of Destiny in Amulet category, which also increases your maximum health by 60-80, and also allows you to get about 10%-20% of Missing Unreserved Life before being hit by the enemy.

Compared to the previous accessories, Defiance of Destiny focuses on your defensive capabilities, such as increasing your Fire Resistance, Cold Resistance, and Lightning Resistance by 10%-40%.

You can always equip it in the gear slot to complete the battle safely when facing different types of enemies. However, it should be noted that if your build itself has weak survivability, you can use more POE Currency to upgrade it more.

Specialized Strategy For Farming T0 Uniques

Now that you understand the power of T0 Uniques, you should now consider how to farm them accurately and labor-savingly. Here is the farming strategy I prepared for you.

1. Prepare Your Map Modifier

The right map modifier can make you more efficient and increase the efficiency of farming. In POE 3.25, you can choose the following map modifiers.

Pack Size: You need to set your goal to 50% or higher, which will increase the number of battles you need to fight and the potential chance of loot drops.

Item Rarity: As we all know, higher Item Rarity will also increase the chance of unique items dropping. Currently, the most ideal Item Rarity is about 167%, so if you use a Pack Size of more than 50% and an Item Rarity of about 167% when running a certain map, you will have a greater chance of getting T0 Uniques.

Optimizing Map Quality: Before running a map, or in the early stages, you can use chisels to increase the quality of the entire map a little, around 75%-77%. Alternatively, you can use Alchemical Orbs to make the loot in your map rarer, which is a very beneficial map modifier.

Delirium And Scarabs: You can combine these two to further improve your farming efficiency. But for players who are new to map modifiers, a Delirium Orb is enough.

2. Choose The Equipment And Item Settings In Your Build

In MMO games such as Path of Exile, the most important thing is the build. A good build can allow you to survive and develop safely in some difficult maps, so farming T0 Uniques also requires a good build.

In terms of the choice of key items, your first choice must be Mageblood Belt, because it is very important for the management of flasks in your build and for improving your survivability. In addition, you can try Ventor’s Gamble Ring, which can greatly increase the rarity of its loot when you face a single-target boss.

In terms of defense, you can choose one of Unique Shields, and combined with some modifiers that can provide you with specific damage reduction, your survivability will definitely be taken to a higher level.

3. Adjust Your Strategy In Time

When facing different situations, the strategies used are definitely different. For example, when you are fighting a boss on a certain map, you need to make your build as powerful and survivable as possible. This is also the most important point in the strategy of accurately farming T0 Uniques, because the safety of your character is the key to farming.

The above is some information about T0 Uniques and farming strategies in POE 3.25. I hope you can farm your most desired T0 Unique as soon as possible in this new league. I wish you a happy game!

In Path of Exile Settlers of Kalguur released some time ago, many metas have changed significantly, and many builds have also changed accordingly. So whether you are a player who is used to Solo Self-Found builds or a player who likes Trade Leagues builds, you must make corresponding changes to your builds. In the increasingly fast pace of life, many gamers have begun to explore the content of the game alone. In POE, there is no exception. Many players are used to using Solo Self-Found builds to explore alone in the game.

In this build, you will experience a completely unique experience from the standard game: you don’t have to stick to tedious transactions, and your POE Currency can be better used for crafting. But it also brings a longer exploration time and requires more knowledge reserves, and the most important challenge is greater. In this guide, I will introduce you to several Solo Self-Found builds that are very useful in POE 3.25, so that you can be prepared when you first explore this new way.

Bleed Spectral Shield Throw Gladiator

If you’re new to Solo Self-Found builds, Bleed Spectral Shield Throw Gladiator is a great build to practice with, as it’s great for both clearing and killing, and it requires a relatively low investment, making it a very cost-effective build.

Bleed Spectral Shield Throw Gladiator build primarily utilizes the new Gladiator nodes added to the new league, such as Jagged Technique, to cause aggravated bleeding, which increases the damage taken by enemies over time, and eventually explodes when the enemy dies.

For defense, you can choose items with prioritizing block, spell block, and lucky block mechanics, as these mechanics keep this build’s effective block rate at 93.75%. This high-damage and high-tank build will get you through the early and middle quickly and safely reach endgame content.

Setup

• Skill Gems: Spectral Shield Throw & Brutality & Vicious Projectiles & Chance to Bleed & Maim & Deadly Ailments
• Ascendancy Nodes: Arena Challenger & Blood in the Eyes & Gratuitous Violence & Painforged

Explosive Trap Of Shrapnel Trickster

Explosive Trap of Shrapnel Trickster build is a dynamic build that utilizes whirling blades and frost blink to enable you to swiftly traverse the map and promptly reach clusters of enemies. Once there, you can freeze the enemies and subsequently eliminate them with explosive traps.

This one-hit-kill build focuses on increasing crit chance and multiplier. In the best case, when all explosions hit, it can achieve about 16 million hit DPS, which is a very scary number. In addition, it also relies on power, frenzy, endurance, and inspiration charges to have a greater advantage in both offense and defense.

Here I need to remind you that although Explosive Trap of Shrapnel Trickster build performs very well in boss stations and some high-level maps, you still need to pay attention to the mana consumption when using it, because spell damage is the most important source of damage for this build.

Setup

• Skill Gems: Explosive Trap & Cluster Traps & Trap and Mine Damage & Advanced Traps & Increased Critical Strikes & Increased Critical Damage
• Ascendancy Nodes: Swift Killer & Ghost Dance & Escape Artist & Prolonged Pain

Boneshatter Juggernaut Or Slayer

With the increased melee in POE Settlers of Kalguur league, Boneshatter Juggernaut or Slayer build has become very powerful. It can use the shovel’s huge two-handed weapon to crush enemies in combat, and gain trauma stacks from it to increase its damage. However, the price of this high damage is that you will also take some damage yourself.

But don’t worry, Juggernaut can provide you with strong survivability, and Slayer can provide you with higher damage and better recovery, so no matter which one you choose, you can safely complete some medium-difficulty battles. Thanks to the changes to endurance charges in the new league, this build can also reduce some elemental damage from enemies, so you will be safer to get the final POE Currency reward.

Although the shortcomings of Boneshatter Juggernaut or Slayer build that some players have pointed out before, such as lack of single-target damage and high mana consumption, still exist, you can use some POE Items at this stage to alleviate this problem.

Setup

• Skill Gems: Boneshatter & Multistrike & Melee Physical Damage & Brutality & Fortify & Rage
• Ascendancy Nodes
• Juggernaut: Unflinching, Unstoppable, Unbreakable, Undeniable
• Slayer: Brutal Fervour, Headsman, Bane of Legends, Impact
• Defensive Layers: High armor & Endurance charges & Life leech (Slayer)

Lightning Strike Gladiator

In previous leagues, Lightning Strike Gladiator has been a favorite of many players, and recently, with the increase in Lightning Strike’s damage effectiveness, more and more players who are used to Solo Self-Found builds have begun to try it.

It mainly uses Blood Magic to alleviate the mana consumption problem that players are very concerned about, and with the help of Gladiator’s block nodes, it can achieve a situation where high damage output and excellent survivability coexist.

In addition, Lightning Strike Gladiator build is a combination of melee and projectile strikes, making it one of the most competitive Solo Self-Found builds. If you use Eternal Blessing to enhance the damage output in this build, it will definitely give you a surprise!

Setup

• Skill Gems: Lightning Strike & Trinity & Nightblade & Multistrike & Added Cold Damage & Elemental Damage
• Ascendancy Nodes: Versatile Combatant & Gladiator’s Perseverance
• Defensive Layers: Block and spell block & High life pool & Instant leech from weapon main node

The above is some of the best Solo Self-Found builds in the new POE league. I hope you can better complete exploring the new league alone with their help, and wish you a happy game!

In Path of Exile, Scarab modifies the map for you, adding extra challenges and rewards, making it one of the most important items in the game. It is also very popular in the game because of its boosting properties.

In the new Settlers of Kalguur League, Scarab’s overall role has not changed much, but because of the significant increase in loot in the new league map, it has become an indispensable part of running the map efficiently. This guide will introduce you to Scarab from its drop rate and some farming strategies. If you have a little difficulty in farming Scarab, you can follow the tips in this guide step by step.

Scarab Drop Rates In Rarity Tiers

Whether you explore Settlers of Kalguur League alone or with your trade league players, it is important to understand the drop rate and rarity of Scarab. First, it will lower your expectations for Scarab, because it is not so easy to get, and second, you can formulate relevant strategies based on its drop rate. In the current league, Scarab has 5 rarity tiers. The specific information is as follows:

Common Scarabs: It is the most common Scarabs in the entire game and the most commonly used by players, with a drop rate of about 30%.

Uncommon Scarabs: It is slightly rarer than Common Scarabs, with a drop rate of about 20%.

Rare Scarabs: As the name suggests, it is a little rarer than the first two Scarabs, with a drop rate of about 10%. And it is more practical on the map than the first three, which means it is more valuable.

Mythic Scarabs: This is a very rare Scarabs, with a drop rate of only 1%. But once you get it, it can provide a very significant enhancement to the loot provided by your map, the most obvious of which is the amount of POE Currency you get after running the map.

Extreme Scarabs: These are the rarest tiers in Path of Exile, like Horned Scarab of Preservation, which are very rare and valuable.

The above drop rates may vary depending on the unique modifiers you have, such as remarkable relics, so if you want to encounter some higher rarity Scarabs, you can try to carry more unique modifiers to increase the probability.

How Do Scarab Drop Rates Affect Solo Self-Found And Trade Leagues?

As mentioned earlier, understanding the drop rate is to better make targeted strategies, and here are the effects in two different situations: Solo Self-Found and Trade Leagues.

Solo Self-Found: Knowing the rarity of a Scarab can help you decide whether to build around it. Normally, if Scarab is extremely rare, it is not a good choice to rely on it unless you have wonderful luck or another strong enough strategy.

Trade Leagues: In trade leagues, the rarity of Scarabs directly affects its market value. For example, some rare Scarabs are in great demand in the current market, so POE Currency required will increase accordingly, and your investment opportunities will also increase.

Best Strategy

Before you can farm Scarab effectively, it is important to understand that choosing the right Atlas tree strategy is key. Here I will introduce you to 3 strategies for farming Scarab to cope with various play styles and goals in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur League.

1. Low Investment Scarab Farming In T17 Maps

In this strategy, you don’t have to manipulate too many settings, and your focus should be on maximizing Scarab drops through specific Atlas tree configurations. For map selection, you can choose Fortress map, because there are fewer bosses and monsters you need to fight, but the loot quality will be high.

In terms of the type of Scarabs you want to farm, you can prioritize Nemesis and Divinity Scarabs, or Radiant Storms Scarab. They can all increase the challenge and rewards in the map you are currently running.

For Atlas Setup, you can choose Prioritize Scarab nodes, pack size, and Beyond nodes, because they perform better in increasing the level and quality of encounters.

2. Domination Scarab Evolution Strategy

This strategy mainly utilizes the new Domination Scarab in Path of Exile 3.25, which can increase the chance of the monsters you encounter upgrading. You can use Shrine in this strategy, because activating Shrine increases the chance of it upgrading again after killing the current monster, which will increase the drop rate of Scarab.

When you are choosing a map, you can give priority to maps with tall monster density, for example Sanctuary, which can also maximize the effect of Shrine. For Atlas Setup, you need to focus on Scarab nodes and nodes that can maximize the use of Shrine.

3. Targeted Scarab Farming In SSF Using T17 Maps

Although it is said in the above that some rare Scarabs are not recommended for Solo Self-Found players to farm, there is still a way. You can maximize the loot provided by the map by carefully selecting and scrolling the map. Additionally, you can also use some mods that can appropriately increase the drop rate of Scarabs, so as not to compromise the survivability of your current build overly. For example, Nico and Domination Scarabs can increase your energy and provide you with some buffs.

The above are some strategies on how to farm Scarabs in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur League effectively. I hope you can use these strategies in the game to get very rich rewards. I wish you a propitious time in the new league!

In Path of Exile, Smite of Divine Judgement is a very powerful melee skill that relies on divine fury to knock down enemies. With the buffs to melee in Settlers of Kalguur league, this skill has become even more powerful. This means that you can build a very good build around Smite of Divine Judgement so that you can use this skill to its maximum effect. This guide will show you how to build Smite of Divine Judgement build.

Key Features

Before building a build, we need to understand the key features of Smite of Divine Judgement so that we can maximize its advantages and reduce its weaknesses. First, Smite of Divine Judgement currently has a maximum level of 20 and includes several types of Lightning, Attack, AOE, Melee and Strike.

In terms of mana consumption, each use of Smite of Divine Judgement costs 12 mana, which is not too much. In addition, the attack speed of Smite of Divine Judgement is slightly worse than the base speed, with only 85% of the base. But the attack damage is 369% of the base damage. In addition, Effectiveness of Added Damage is also 3.69 times. Most importantly, the quality of Smite of Divine Judgement is increased by 20% compared to the base.

As the person who uses Smite of Divine Judgement skill, your character needs to reach at least Level 70 and have 98 Strength and 68 Intelligence to use it. So, in the allocation of attributes, you may need to focus on Strength and Intelligence.

Now let’s take a look at the new mechanism of Smite of Divine Judgement skill in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur. First, it can convert 50% of Physical Damage into Lightning Damage, which is great for facing some enemies that are resistant to Physical Damage. And there will be a wider Area Damage, about a 38% increase, and the base radius has been increased to 2.1 meters. Its Lightning Strikes have also been enhanced and can now hit 3 targets within a range of 7 meters, which is very helpful when you are facing some groups of enemies.

Required Items

Weapons

For Smite of Divine Judgement build, you can choose some weapons with high Physical Damage, such as swords, axes, maces, scepters, or staves with high base physical damage. In this way, under the skill mechanism, you can both deal with high physical damage and maximize your lightning damage.

Passive Skill

For Passive Skill, you can pay attention to three aspects. The first is to focus on nodes that can increase lightning damage and physical to lightning conversion.

Secondly, you can also focus on those nodes that can increase your attack speed and range of effect, so that the disadvantage of Smite of Divine Judgement’s low attack speed is solved, and Smite’s coverage and frequency can be enhanced.

The last node you need to pay attention to is the one that can increase critical strike chance and multiplier, so that your total damage and output can be maximized.

Ascendancy

In terms of Ascendancy selection, you can choose in Inquisitor category. The following are Ascendancy you can choose and their effects.

• Sanctuary: Attacking enemies increases elemental resistance and causes holy ground to appear.
• Pious Path: Grants life and mana restoration while on consecrated ground.
• Righteous Providence: Increases chance of critical strike based on Strength and Intelligence.
• Inevitable Judgement: Ignores elemental resistance during critical attacks and greatly increases damage.

Gems

In the selection of Support Gems, we also adhere to a point of view to enhance Lightning Damage and Elemental Damage, and maximize the area of ​​effect and Lightning Penetration.

Based on this point of view, you can first choose Leap Slam, because it can enhance the mobility of the entire build. Or you can choose Ancestral Protector, which can make up for the shortcomings of Smite of Divine Judgement’s insufficient attack speed.

Among them, the most worth mentioning is Herald of Thunder, because its Aura can greatly increase your lightning damage to the enemy, and can also apply additional impact, which will make it easier for you to get the final POE Currency reward in battle.

Armor And Accessories

Since armor and accessories are both equipment in Path of Exile 3.25, they are introduced together. For the armor you need, it must have high health and high resistance, and it would be best if it can also increase lightning damage. The only armor that meets the above conditions is Loreweave, so it is the best choice.

When choosing Helmet, Gloves, and Boots, you also need to consider health and resistance, followed by attack speed and whether it can increase lightning damage. There are too many items that meet the requirements in Settlers of Kalguur league, so I won’t list them.

For Amulet and Rings, contrary to the above equipment, you need to focus on whether it can increase lightning damage and attack speed, because the problems of health and resistance have been solved by POE items such as armor.

The same is true for Belt, but here I can recommend you the best choice - Stygian Vise.

Flask

In Path of Exile, Flask is also very important for a build because it can protect your character from the threat of death in time. The same is true for Smite of Divine Judgement build. Here, you can choose from two categories: Life Flask and Utility Flasks.

In Life Flask, you can directly choose Instant Recovery because it is the most useful for emergency treatment. You can make a few more in your free time to prepare for emergencies.

In Utility Flasks, you can choose Granite Flask, Basalt Flask, Quicksilver Flask, Sulphur Flask or Silver Flask. They can enhance different types of damage in this build. You can decide the specific choice according to your play style or usage habits.

For example, if you need very thick armor to ensure the safety of your character, you can choose Granite Flask; if you want to increase more damage, you can choose Basalt Flask or Sulphur Flask.

The above are some features and build methods of Smite of Divine Judgement build in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur. I hope you can use this powerful melee build to win more battles in this melee-enhanced league!

With the strengthening of melee in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers Of Kalguur league, more and more players want to use melee builds to challenge some enemies that can get close to them, even bosses.

So after all the enhanced melee builds, how do you choose the best one? This guide will introduce you to three best builds in Settlers Of Kalguur league. Without further ado, prepare your POE Currency and explore together!

Boneshatter

The first is the most familiar Boneshatter Juggernaut to players, which has also performed very well in previous leagues. It is not only very destructive but also very comprehensive when performing range attacks. But it should be noted that Boneshatter hits the enemy with such force that it can hurt yourself and even cause cumulative damage. So before using Boneshatter, be sure to collect enough armor to resist enough damage and adjust your attack speed to the highest. This will ensure that you have enough health to deal with more damage during the battle.

After briefly introducing the overall overview of Boneshatter, let’s talk about the advantages of this build. The first thing to praise is the survivability of this build, even though I just said that you will hurt yourself in battle. Because the stackable armor of this build is very thick, the damage you cause yourself is not to be feared at all. If you think that Boneshatter’s speed or damage to bosses is weak because of its strong survivability, you are wrong. The movement speed in this build is still very fast, and it can kill a relatively large enemy in a few seconds.

After talking about the advantages, the disadvantage of Boneshatter is also very obvious, your accuracy. Because if your accuracy is greater than your health, then the key Precise Technique will cause 40% additional damage to the enemy.

For all the budgetary concerns of players, Boneshatter is relatively inexpensive, you only need to invest 60 Chaos Orbs in this build to clear the early endgame maps. If you want to enter the subsequent Yellow Maps easily, you may need to invest 120 Chaos Orbs.

Cyclone Of Tumult

The next build is also one of the strongest melee builds in previous leagues, Cyclone of Tumult. With some melee buffs in POE 3.25, this build has become even more powerful. The biggest change now is that you will have some work banners that can provide additional DPS in the fight between you and the boss. First, let’s talk about the advantages of this build. The most obvious and useful one is the movement speed.

When you use it, you will find that you are always moving and constantly killing enemies around you while moving. This can easily clear some enemies that hinder your progress. The damage to the boss is also very powerful. When your build is complete, you can kill a very large boss in a few seconds. In addition, the skill tree of this build is very simple, and you may complete this build in a short time.

Having said the pros, now it’s time to talk about the cons. Although you will get great survivability after completing this build. But if you want to upgrade your character during combat, you need to control your progress, because this is a melee build, which means you will fight with the enemy at close range. If you are not careful, you will be very vulnerable.

So before entering the high-tier content, you can wait a little longer and upgrade as much as possible. In addition, you also need to pay attention to how to deal with some enemies that can cause stun.

In this build, although you can rely on Cluster Jewels for stun immunity, it costs a lot of POE Currency, which you may not get immediately. At this time, you need to master some evasion nodes in combat. In this way, you will not be hit by too powerful stun attacks.

For budget, Cyclone of Tumult only costs you 90 Chaos Orbs to destroy the early endgame maps, and only 150 for the subsequent Yellow Maps. Also, for unique items, you only need one Stampede Boots. It allows you to always move at 150% of your current base movement speed.

Lightning Strike

The last one is the very popular and powerful Lightning Strike build. It was at the top of the meta before, but after a few leagues, it began to disappear. But with the recent buff to the melee, it has returned to the public eye and is stronger than ever.

As usual, the advantages of this build are the clearing speed. Besides the well-known powerful melee attack, Lightning Strike will also create a lot of mobile lightning projectiles on the ground of the battle arena, indiscriminately killing all enemies in its path.

In addition, this build also comes with Trickster Ascendancy, which has a very fast clearing speed and strong survivability. There are also seven frenzy charges in this build, which can bring you additional damage and movement speed, and even add a layer of defense for you.

The only disadvantage of this build is that you need to find a very good elemental claw for it. But you don’t have to worry too much, because elemental claw can be easily obtained in your trade with other players.

So what is the budget for this build that has no gigantic problems? It’s not that much, actually. For the early endgame maps, you need 80 Chaos Orbs; and for the subsequent Yellow Maps, you need 150. Compared to other melee builds that cost more than 200 Chaos Orbs, Lightning Strike is still very cost-effective.

These are the three best melee builds you can choose in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers Of Kalguur league. You can choose the one that suits you best based on your usage habits and game style. I hope you can have fun in this new league!

In POE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur, released last month, both defensive and offensive metas have changed significantly, making some melee and stacking builds stronger and weakening defensive mechanics and loot generation strategies that were very powerful in previous leagues.

In a month of game experience, have you found a strong build of your own in this new league? This guide will give you a summary of several of the strongest builds in Settlers of Kalguur in terms of build performance and special advantages. Whether you want to control endgame content or want to explore leisurely, you can find the most suitable build for you in this guide.

Here we need to remind you that new players and players who have not played POE for a long time can start with some safer and more fault-tolerant builds, such as Righteous Fire. For experienced players, you can challenge some more complex and high-reward builds. Without further ado, get your POE Currency ready and let’s get started!

1. Elemental Hit Of The Spectrum Deadeye / Warden (Level As LA / ROA)

This build mainly utilizes Elemental Hit skill, which can cause multiple types of elemental damage to enemies, and Deadeye or Warden ascendancy can provide you with excellent damage and clearing speed.

When transitioning to Elemental Hit, you can effectively upgrade it by using Lightning Arrow (LA) or Rain of Arrows (ROA). In addition, this build also focuses on stacking elemental damage, crit chance/multi, and projectile damage, so it is the well-deserved first-best build!

2. Hexblast Mines (Trickster)

In many player communities, many players have started using Hexblast Mines build because its Trickster ascendancy can provide it with unpredictable damage and tank-like survivability.

This build focuses on using curses with Hexblast and detonating the mines to cause tremendous damage. So when you use Hexblast Mines build, all you need to do is use various resources to expand chaos damage, curse effect, and mine damage.

3. Archmage DD Of Chaining / BL Of Orbiting / Frostbolt Ice Nova

This build mainly relies on Archmage support to expand its skill damage, such as Detonate Dead (DD), Ball Lightning (BL), or the combination of Frostbolt and Ice Nova.

In addition, this build focuses on Stacking Mana, Mana Regen, and Cast Speed, so that Archmage damage can be maximized. Chaining or orbiting projectiles can also provide a faster clearing speed for this build.

4. Lightning Strike Warden / Slayer

These two builds may be very familiar to veteran players. They mainly use Lightning Strike skill to launch a series of lightning projectiles that can cause heavy damage to the enemy.

But at the same time, Warden or slayer ascendancy can provide very good survivability for this build, so it can both protect itself well in combat and deal a lot of damage. In this build, positioning is very important to maximize the skill’s double-hit mechanic.

5. Slams (Ground Slam Or Earthshatter Or Others, Level As Sunder)

In POE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur, Slam skills, such as Ground Slam or Earthshatter, are very powerful melee skills that can cause huge area damage in combat.

The entire build will gradually upgrade from Sunder and then transition to Slam skills just mentioned. So Juggernaut or Chieftain has become the most frequently chosen ascendancy choices by players. In this build, the key aspects you need to focus on are how to amplify physical damage, attack speed, and area-of-effect.

6. Power Siphon Mines

In Power Siphon Mines build, you can see that Power Siphon skill can be cleverly combined with remote mines, and the mine explosions will cause a lot of damage. So in this build, the most important thing for you is to increase mine damage, followed by wand damage and projectile damage.

This build may undergo some changes in subsequent patches, and there is hope that there will be a certain chance to cooperate with some more powerful enchants.

7. Poisonous Concoction Of Bouncing

As we all know, Poisonous build in POE mainly uses Poisonous skill, but the difference in Poisonous Concoction build is that it can launch a projectile that bounces and applies poison. This makes the poison damage more powerful.

In addition, this build will also scale poison damage, chaos damage, and projectile mechanics. Although this build is only ranked seventh, it is also a favorite of many players. In this build, Pathfinder or Occultist are the most common ascendancy choices.

8. Righteous Fire Chieftain

As the name implies, Righteous Fire Chieftain build is centered on Righteous Fire skill, which calculates your current damage based on your maximum health. Chieftain ascendancy works well with Righteous Fire through life regeneration and fire damage scaling.

In Righteous Fire Chieftain build, you need to focus on stacking life, fire damage, and fire resistance. Since you don’t need to worry about damage, you only need to worry about defense.

9. SRS Guardian (Generic Minion Cuck)

This build uses Summon Raging Spirits (SRS) skill to summon aggressive spirit minions to attack the enemy. For this build, the health and damage of spirit minions are more important than your own.

So you can use Guardian ascendancy to provide powerful defense for spirit minions. In SRS Guardian build, make sure SRS minions are always alive.

10. Frostblades / Cat-abasis / Flicker

Both builds are built around melee skills, such as Frostblades, Frost Blades, or Flicker Strike. In POE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur, the melee builds and skills are enhanced. They all provide very good clearing speed and single target damage in this league.

There are many Ascendancy choices here, such as Raider, Berserker, or Slayer. But it should be noted that the equipment in this build may cost a lot of POE Currency, so new players or players with limited budgets should not consider this build.

The above are the top ten builds in POE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur based on the feedback from many players in the player community. There will be more and better builds in the future, and we will continue to follow up. I wish you an easier exploration in the new league after using the above builds!
