Path of Exile Update 3.13.0 Patch Notes

Path of Exile Update 3.13.0 is here, and with it comes the new Echoes of the Atlas expansion. Path of Exile is already a dense action-RPG, and Update 3.13.0 only expands on the game’s nigh infamous complexity. Not only is there a new expansion for players to enjoy in Update 3.13.0, but a verifiable wealth of balance changes, a new league, and the return of two former activities.

Path of Exile Update 3.13.0 will introduce the new Echoes of the Atlas expansion, which adds a layer to the already sprawling endgame. In Path of Exile Update 3.13.0, The Maven, a cosmic entity of incredible power has taken notice of players’ exploits across the multi-verse, and she has decided to witness your feats for herself. Players will eventually be invited to her realm to take on an onslaught of some of Path of Exile’s hardest bosses simultaneously, before The Maven steps in for a brawl. Players will eventually be able to use he new Atlas passive trees added in Path of Exile Update 3.13.0 to then shape their endgame with the activities they see fit, covering the breadth of content Path of Exile has received over the years.

Additionally, Path of Exile Update 3.13.0 brings with it massive overhauls to the Deadeye, Elementalist, and Inquisitor Ascendancy classes. While those three received complete reworks, all the other Ascendancy classes have been tweaked in Path of Exile Update 3.13.0, and a multitude of skills have been adjusted as well. There’s the usual smattering of bug fixes in Path of Exile Update 3.13.0 as well. Path of Exile Update 3.13.0 also introduces yet another league to the action-RPG (the Ritual League), and both Heist and Harvest have been brought back, though they’ve been given some much needed alterations in Update 3.13.0.

Below are the complete Path of Exile Update 3.13.0 patch notes, featuring every official addition, adjustment, tweak, and change. Update 3.13.0 is massive (it is a Path of Exile expansion after all), so all the important topics have nice thick headings to help you navigate the patch notes. You can also check out the Path of Exile Update 3.13.0 landing page here for more details.

Echoes of the Atlas – Path of Exile Update 3.13.0 Patch Notes

• The Sealing of the Elder has sent shockwaves far beyond the Atlas. Unknown and unseen entities now move towards the Atlas, lured by the sudden absence of one of their own.
• Heralded by the Envoy, an entity known as the Maven is the first to arrive. Her desires are clear — to witness the exquisite struggle for survival between mortal entities. Those brave and resilient enough to withstand her brutal trials are to be rewarded with unequalled control of the Atlas.
• New Atlas Passive Skill Trees provide the capacity for Exiles to pursue, control, and customize the game content they most enjoy on a per-Region basis, so long as they prove their worth to the Maven.

The Ritual Challenge League

• Challenge leagues are a great opportunity for a fresh start in a new economy. All of your old characters and items are still present in the Standard and Hardcore leagues, but you’re encouraged to join the new leagues, complete challenges and demonstrate your mastery of Path of Exile!
• In the Ritual Challenge League, Ritual Altars have appeared throughout the world. By slaying the monsters that guard the Ritual Altars, then activating them, you will call more monsters into the Ritual Circle that surrounds it. Slaying those monsters awards you Tribute, which can be spent on rewards from the Altar. Each area has several Rituals, and monsters slain in a previous Ritual in the area will be revived in subsequent Rituals.
• You can buy Ritual Splinters from completed Rituals which can be combined to create a Ritual Vessel. Using a Ritual Vessel at any completed Ritual Altar will turn it into a Blood-filled Vessel, capturing a record of all the monsters first slain at that Ritual. Blood-filled Vessels can be placed alongside any Map in the Map Device to imbue the Rituals in that area with the captured monsters.
• Some items are only available from Ritual Altars, and may be very costly to purchase. You can pay part of the Tribute cost for such items to Defer them, causing them to appear again in a later area. You can Defer items multiple times, allowing you to eventually afford expensive items over time.
• With Path of Exile Update 3.13.0, there are Standard, Hardcore and Solo Self-Found variations of the Ritual challenge league available. They have the same core mechanics and items. You can create private league versions of these leagues, with mods that make the game harder.
• The new challenge leagues include a set of 40 new challenges. When you complete 12 challenges, you will receive the Ritual Weapon Effect. When you reach 24 challenges, you will receive the Ritual Character Effect. At 36 challenges completed you’ll receive the Ritualist’s Hideout. These microtransactions are only obtainable in this league.
• From the 19th challenge onwards and for every third challenge after that, you will receive pieces of the Ritual Totem Pole decoration to display in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Ritual challenges you completed during the league.

Major New Content and Features

• Added a new Intelligence Skill Gem – Hydrosphere: Creates a sphere of water, or moves an existing sphere and resets its duration. The sphere continually applies a drenched debuff with a short duration to enemies in its area or those it moves through. You can hit the sphere with other skills to inflict cold and lightning ailments (other than chill). The sphere pulses at regular intervals while afflicted by an ailment, and after moving, damaging all drenched enemies in a large area with that ailment.
• Added a new Intelligence/Dexterity Support Gem – Trinity Support: Supports skills that hit enemies, causing them to gain bonuses while you have resonance of all three elements and grant resonance of elements other than the highest-damage element in a hit. Supported skills deal more elemental damage and penetrate elemental resistances based on the lowest of your three resonances.
• Added 13 new Unique Items.
• Added 15 new Divination Cards, designed by supporters.
• Added 11 new Maps.
• Added Heist to the core game, rebalanced around the lower rate of encountering Heist gameplay (see Heist Changes).
• Added Harvest to the core game in a significantly modified form (see Harvest Changes).

Minor New Content and Features

• Texture Streaming has been reworked. Many textures that were not previously streamed now are, and the image quality of streamed textures has been improved. This also addresses some hiccups around the first time certain events occured within a session (such as slaying some monsters). This change will be monitored and improved in future updates based on player data.
• Kinetic Blast and Storm Call have brand new effects.
• Firestorm has a new skillbar icon.
• Pets now have a very slight delay before they will follow you when you move.
• Opening the portals to the Temple of Atzoatl or to a Syndicate Safehouse in your hideout after you’ve acquried a Map Device now creates those portals at your Map Device.
• Continued to incrementally improve the sound, art, effects and environments.

Heist Changes in Path of Exile Update 3.13.0

• Kurai, as well as your first Rogue’s Markers, can now be found starting in Act 6.
• Smuggler’s Caches now always drop a Quest Contract if possible, in addition to an ordinary Contract.
• Smuggler’s Caches now appear less frequently, and Contracts, Blueprints and Rogue’s Markers now drop less frequently.
• All quest contracts now reward you with Rogue’s Markers upon completion.
• Kurai’s second and third quest contracts now spawn more monsters during the escape.
• The number of Rogue’s Markers you get from completing contracts above level 68 has been increased. You’ll now get (on average) 20% more markers from Level 83 contracts.
• The levels at which Heist Equipment drops has been adjusted to fit the new progression.
• Job Experience granted to Heist participants has been increased across the board to fit the lower frequency at which players will engage in them.
• Blueprints that have been created through duplication (such as via Einhar’s Blood Altar) must now be revealed again.
• The Rogue Harbour once again acts like a town and will be populated by other players.
• Vinderi’s chance for items from Heist chests to be doubled has been reduced at all levels. It is now 14% at job level 5 (from 20%).
• Huck now grants increased experience to players in Heists, up to 20% at job level 3.
• Harvest rewards can no longer appear in Heists, because Harvest is a thing again.
• Greatly increased the chance of finding Tempering and Tailoring Orbs from Blueprint rewards.
• The experience limit on all Heists has been lowered (as in, you will hit a point at which additional monster spawns grant no experience sooner).
• Whakano’s reveal audio no longer overlaps with itself.

Harvest Changes in Patch of Exile Update 3.13.0

• Harvest has been added to the core game and has been vastly reworked. It no longer contains a garden-building component, nor a permanent garden of your own. Instead, you now have a chance to discover a portal to an established Sacred Grove in maps, which contains several different harvestable plots.
• Each plot is presented as a pair of options. Harvesting one plot destroys the other, so choose carefully. Like previously, harvesting will cause monsters to emerge, and upon defeating the monsters you’ll be able to craft your items at the Lifeforce Collector.
• Once you have completed your first Harvest, you will be given a Horticrafting Station which can store up to 10 crafting options. You’ll be able to place a copy of the Horticrafting Station in your hideout, meaning you don’t have to do all your crafting in the Sacred Grove.
• On very rare occasions, you’ll be able to harvest the Heart of the Grove and fight the Avatar of the Grove.
• The Tier 3 Seed modifier that originally doubled Lifeforce from a harvest (from the Primal Reborn monster) now instead causes crafting options to be Lucky (they will roll outcomes twice and select the rarest outcome).

Character Balance

• Aegis effects, such as Elemental Aegis from Magna Eclipsis, no longer have their recharge timer interrupted by damage if the buff is depleted.
• The cooldown for gaining a flask charge from effects which grant them on a critical strike has been reduced to 0.1 seconds (from 0.2).

• The Tailwind buff now grants 8% increased Action Speed (from 10%).

Skill Balance

• Added a new “Orb” Gem Tag. This applies to skills which have a periodic effect over an area and persist for a duration but are not targetable by enemies. Orb of Storms, Void Sphere, Winter Orb, Hydrosphere and Frost Bomb now have this tag. To avoid confusion, Magma Orb has been renamed to Rolling Magma.

• Maps dropped by special sources such as deterministic chests or league rewards like those found in the Azurite Mine or the Temple of Atzoatl now use your own Atlas to determine which maps to drop, and can therefore drop maps that have been raised above their base tier due to the presence of Watchstones. Maps dropped from these sources now also take into account your Favorite Map selections. If a source such as this cannot find a compatible map from your Atlas to drop (for example, due to too few maps being completed and too few watchstones being socketed for a Tier 16 map on your Atlas to drop), it will drop a random map of the correct tier instead.

• Replica Alberon’s Warpath now grants 1 to 80 Chaos Damage to Attacks per 80 Strength (previously per 50 Strength). This affects all versions of the item.
• Martyr of Innocence no longer grants added Fire Damage to Spells. Instead, it now grants the Battlemage keyword (which adds main hand weapon damage to spells). This affects all versions of this item. New versions of Martyr of Innocence now have 315-360 to 450-540 added Fire Damage (from 350-400 to 500-600). Existing items can be updated to the new values with a Divine Orb, but why on Wraeclast would you do that?

• Enduring Cry used by monsters has been given a cooldown and had its healing amount standardized. It’s less ridiculous now.

Atlas and Map Changes in Path of Exile Update 3.13.0

Bug Fixes in Path of Exile Update 3.13.0

• Fixed a bug which prevented Cyclone’s channeling speed to be affected by modifiers to Action Speed.
• Fixed a bug where, on macOS clients, only one notable would be displayed on Cluster Jewels when hovered over.
• Fixed a bug where Divergent Swift Affliction would incorrectly grant you a permanent (but not stacking) movement speed increase if you afflicted an enemy with an ailment with a supported skill. The correct behaviour is that only the afflicted entities (which may be you, or the enemy, or both!) will gain the increased movement speed, and only for the duration of the ailment.
• Fixed a bug where the triggered Flame Dash and Lightning Warp skills from Infernal Blade series of basetypes and Moonbender’s Wing respectively could be supported by effects that cannot ordinarily support triggered skills (such as Spell Totem Support).
• Fixed a bug which prevented cosmetic effects applied to a support gem (such as the Dragon Totem Skin) from appearing if the skill the support gem was supporting came from an item mod rather than a skill gem (such as Icestorm from The Whispering Ice).
• Fixed a bug which prevented repeated Cleaves with the Demon Hand Cleave cosmetic applied from producing sound effects.
• Fixed a bug where, while wearing the unique belt Chains of Emancipation, using a flask that removes curses would not cause you to gain rage in a map that applies Temporal Chains to you.
• Fixed a bug where skeleton monsters in some Heist tilesets were dealing spell damage with a skill that should have been considered an attack.
• Fixed a bug where one of the beam skills used by Kurgal, the Blackblooded, Sin Purgers from Legion monoliths, and Wild Hellion Alpha from Harvest seeds would only check Spell Dodge chance at the start, and not throughout the skill (so if you dodged or were hit by the first damage instance of the skill, you’d dodge or be hit by all of them).
• Fixed a bug which caused Viper Napuatzi’s orb-launching skill to never hit you.
• Fixed a bug which caused Farrul, First of the Plains’ Lacerate skill to only hit targets at a very specific distance.
• Fixed a bug which caused Chilled and Shocked Ground to act as if you had double the values of any modifiers to non-damaging Ailment effect on you.
• Fixed a bug where a Brute Force obstacle in a Heist would (rarely) appear to still exist after all collision had been removed.
• Fixed a bug where an enemy converted by a Heist member could fire a projectile through your Flame Wall while it was an ally, die, and then have that projectile nuke you with your own Flame Wall debuff due to it now being an enemy projectile (covered in your Fire Wall fire).
• Fixed a bug which caused Ancestor Totems to never attack if they lost line of sight of you during a brief but critical period after being summoned.
• Fixed a bug where ground effects and auras could continue to affect you well beyond their range if you performed an in-area transition at the precise moment it was created.
• Fixed an exploit which allowed you to endlessly stack certain stats from auras.
• Fixed a bug which allowed Orb of Binding to bypass socket penalties (such as enchantments that reduce the maximum number of sockets an item can have).
• Fixed a bug where assigning the Signal Prey skill to your left mouse button would result in you getting booted for performing too many actions while running around.
• Fixed a bug where Incursion Temple room options were generated based on your character’s level, rather than the level of the area in which you found Alva.
• Fixed a number of cases where Strongboxes could appear in locations that could prevent movement.
• Fixed a number of cases where items could drop in inaccessible areas.
• Fixed a bug which caused Discipline to grant twice as much increased Energy Shield Recharge Rate as it should have.
• Fixed a bug which caused Cremation supported by Intensify and/or Pinpoint Supports to not carry the benefits or drawbacks of those supports to the projectile part of the skill.
• Fixed a bug which caused Cylone’s quality-based Interruption-avoidance to only get checked once per use (with the result used for the duration of your channelling), rather than every time you were hit.
• Fixed a bug which caused the unique jewel Unnatural Instinct to ignore its implicit if a small passive in its radius had the same stat.
• Fixed a bug which caused PvP ratings to stop decaying.
• Fixed a bug which could cause Sirus to not use certain skills during his last phase.
• Fixed a bug where Hextouch Support and Impending Doom Support could both support (and work) with the same skill, even though Impending Doom specifies it cannot support curse skills which are triggered.
• Fixed a bug where the Debilitate debuff was using a default icon. Now it has its own special icon, just for it.
• Fixed a bug where some Essence of Anguish modifiers granted the wrong level requirement to the items the Essences were used on.
• Fixed a bug where the action speed buff granted by the Greater Harbinger of Time from The Flow Untethered and The Torrent’s Reclamation unique items did not affect your totems.
• Fixed a bug where freeze-locking the boss of the Overgrown Ruin map while killing his minion could make the boss unkillable.
• Fixed a bug where multiple instances of the Pride Aura could be manipulated to stack the increased damage monsters take above the intended maximum.
• Fixed a bug where you could trigger your own traps by throwing them through your Flame Wall.
• Fixed a bug which prevented Shield Shatter from the Shattershard unique shield from being supported by Increased Duration Support or Less Duration Support.
• Fixed a bug where Elemental Focus and Charged Mines used the same letter on the skill bar when supporting a skill.
• Fixed a bug where the Master Helmet Cosmetic Effect’s red plume turned gold.
• Fixed a bug where the unique helmet Maw of Mischief’s Death Wish skill could target untargetable minions such as your Harbingers and spiders raised by Arakaali’s Fang. That’s the wrong kind of mischief.
• Fixed a bug where Incursions could contain more Stones of Passage than there were doors to use them on.
• Fixed a bug where Divergent Sunder had the same quality effect as Superior Sunder, but better. It now correctly has 1% increased Physical Damage per 1% gem quality.

• Fixed a number of alternate quality skill and support gem effects failing to display their correct effects and various amounts of quality.
• Fixed a bug where Righteous Fire could break barrels on the other sides of obstacles.
• Fixed a bug where Blackguards would mysteriously leave Betrayal Research missions if you’d encountered a Betrayal Transportation mission prior.
• Fixed a bug where Flame Surge would deal more damage against non-ignited enemies and NOT against ignited enemes. You know, the exact opposite of what it says!
• Fixed a bug where arrows which split from Tornado Shot would split at your location rather than the Tornado Shot’s location.
• Fixed a bug where Flame Wall’s debuff would ignore PvP scaling against other players.
• Fixed a bug where the prophecy which would cause Alva to appear in an area could trigger when your Temple was fully discovered (and therefore would prevent Alva from appearing).

• Fixed a bug where Void Sphere’s visual effects could persist past its duration while on Predictive networking mode.
• Fixed a bug where the Quicksand debuff visual could persist after the debuff itself had expired.
• Fixed a bug where the Breach Core Supporter Pack cosmetics didn’t have their glowing purple tendrils like they were meant to.
• Fixed a bug where Magic item names didn’t display both prefixes or both suffixes if that’s all they had (due to being on one of the Heist ring basetypes, for example).
• (Possibly) fixed a crash on macOS clients that prevented the game starting if your hardware didn’t support AVX2. It’s a real tough one to test, so let us know if you’re still having problems!
• Fixed a crash that could occur when a curse was applied to your character.
• Fixed a rare crash caused by entities moving out of bounds of the game world under some unusual circumstances.
• Fixed a rare client crash related to Steel skills.
