With Keepers of the Flame, Path of Exile has once again brought its fans back to Wraeclast. The new league offers many advantages for players, especially newcomers, as getting started is now much easier than before.
What is the new league about? With Keepers of the Flame, it revolves again around the breaches – a league mechanic from 2016. The breach lords are trying to invade the world of Wraeclast and take it over. Your task is to prevent this with the Order of the Keepers. The leader and founder of the group, Ailith, supports you in this endeavor.
Together with the powers of the breaches, you can make yourself even stronger by implanting enhancements into your flesh, thereby casting new powers.
Since the release of the league, Path of Exile has seen a significant increase in players on Steam and has surpassed its modern successor. Over 110,000 players (source: steamcharts.com) are peaking in Path of Exile 1 – in Path of Exile 2, there are over 21,000 (source: steamcharts.com).
If you have also completed the league of PoE2 but were discouraged by part 1, now would be the perfect time to get started, as it has never been easier than in Keepers of the Flame.
Genesis Tree makes entry into the endgame so easy
Why is the entry into PoE1 so easy? Path of Exile is among the most challenging games in gaming. The almost limitless possibilities to create a build, obtain resources, and understand the mechanics for progress overwhelm many newcomers.
Especially in the endgame, where PoE1 can truly shine, many players drop out because obtaining strong items is associated with trading and a lot of luck, but this does not apply to the new league. The Genesis Tree is your salvation here, as it allows you to farm strong base items for crafting in a relaxed and very efficient way.
Many perks of the tree can be configured so you can decide how your loot should drop when fertilizing the plant. Do you want 6 sockets in your chest armor? Or only jewelry as uniques? All this is possible and much more.
This tree also brings about a positive change in trading, as many strong items with high values can currently be obtained for bargain prices. Strong builds can therefore now be created much more easily so you can fully enjoy the endgame. So, if you’ve always wanted to jump into Path of Exile but never made it to the endgame, now is the time to get started and log in.
How long will Keepers of the Flame last? The release of the league took place on October 31. GGG, the developers of the Hack & Slash, mentioned they would bring a new league every 4 months.
So the league is still very fresh and many fans are around to help you trade, create twinks, or complete challenges to secure rewards.
