  • Path Of Exile 3.25: A Deep Dive Into Unique Items That Will Be Entering The Core In Settlers Of Kalguur

    Posted: Jul 19, 2024

    The era of Necropolis League is finally coming to an end, and it will be replaced by the long-awaited POE 3.25 Settlers Of Kalguur League. But what legacy will Necropolis leave in the future of Path of Exile?

    Recently, the developers released a news post about what will happen when Necropolis ends, as well as all the information about the league and its mechanics. With this information, we will learn which unique items will enter the core in POE 3.25. Let’s get straight to the point.

    Will Necropolis League Be Core?

    First of all, we confirm right away here that Necropolis League will not be core in POE 3.25. Similarly, Lantern of Arimor and its Allflame Embers, Necropolis Graveyard and its Corpses will not enter the core game. This is not surprising. I really didn’t expect these to be the core. But I must admit that the concept of Allflame is good, and maybe they will return in a more refined form in the future.

    In addition, any existing Coffins and Allflame will be removed, so they won’t take up a lot of your stash space in Standard League.

    What Unique Items Are Coming To Core?

    But these are not the main points. Here, we will focus on looking at the part of Necropolis League that will become a core in POE 3.25, namely unique items.

    Perandus Pact (Not Appearing)

    The first thing I want to talk about must be Perandus Pact, which has received a lot of attention. But please note that it did not enter the core in POE 3.25.

    Perandus Pact is a unique item exclusive to Necropolis. I believe that players who have used it know that this Unique Jewel may be the strongest of Necropolis unique items. It provides many single stats, depending on the modifiers of Jewel itself and its position in your passive tree. Of course, how much POE Currency you invest in it is also an important factor affecting its effect.

    It’s no surprise that this Jewel didn’t make it to the core drop pool in POE 3.25.

    As an aside, if you want to get more POE Currency, don't forget to follow the IGGM community in Discord, where we will occasionally release some product giveaway information. However, to increase your chances of winning, you need to like and comment more in the community! Maybe the next lucky person will be you!

    Getting back to the point, I think it is very similar to That Which Was Taken Crimson Jewel in terms of power level to some extent. But I’d say That Which Was Taken comes with really nice modifiers, while Perandus Pact probably needs a more tailored passive skill tree to be most effective.

    Regardless, Perandus Pact won’t be making it to the core drop pool, at least in Settlers Of Kalguur League. Likewise, the chances of this item being added as a loot drop from a boss or, more specific mechanic are also very slim, so I wouldn’t count on it.

    As a result, the rest of Necropolis unique items will go directly to the core drop pool in POE 3.25. To be clear, we’ll only be looking at exclusive Necropolis unique items, and every item will be covered.

    Nevalius Inheritance

    Now let’s start with Nevalius Inheritance. This Unique Belt is all about modifying flask effects and duration, but it has the rare property of changing the stats it provides based on your character level. It increases the flask effect duration by 150% and reduces the flask effect by 60%, but then reduces flask duration by 2% per level and increases flask effect by 1% per level at level 100.

    This Belt provides 40% flask effect at the cost of 50% duration reduction. But since we also have options like Tides of Time available. This is unlikely to be widely used in high-level characters.

    However, I think Nevalius Inheritance is a very good unique to use for leveling, to equip in the second half of the campaign and use with Unique Flasks, Witchfire Brew, or Replica Witchfire Brew.

    These Flasks grant you a Curse Aura of Despair or Vulnerability at level 21, depending on which one you use. And this Curse Aura is not affected by the flask effect modifier. This means you get the full power of a level 21 Curse, and benefit from the increased flask duration to keep its effects longer.

    This is very useful for leveling up some chaos or physical damage based characters. But even so, this Unique Belt is very niche and I don’t see it being used very often.

    Grattus Signet

    Next up we have Grattus Signet, which is a Unique Ring. This item is very useful in terms of the stats it provides. It has some attack speed, cast speed, some energy shield, and some life. Then it also has two modifiers, where attacks inflict Unnerve on crits, and spells inflict Intimidate on crits.

    The weird thing about this ring is that they switched things up in terms of what it applies. Attack crits inflict a debuff that increases spell damage, and spell crits inflict a debuff that increases attack damage. If it were the other way around, this item would just be a fairly generic choice for many characters early in their progression.

    While the other stats are still very beneficial, one thing Grattus Signet has going for it is its level requirement, which means it can be slapped onto most characters early on to get some useful stats. But other than that, I don’t see this item being used all that much either.

    Hand Of Phrecia

    Next up is the most interesting of Necropolis unique items, and that’s Hand of Phrecia, an item that seems designed to be a unique item that boosts link skills. But ultimately it’s mostly used on solo characters without the need for link skills.

    Because of its very specific interaction with Generosity Support, the final modifier to this unique non-Curse Aura in your skills only applies to you and the target of your Link, meaning you get the full benefit from Aura effect increased by Generosity. This interaction breathes life into this Unique Gloves, meaning they have a chance to be picked up and used in many builds.

    Veruso’s Ambition

    Finally, we have Veruso’s Ambition, a pair of Unique Boots designed around Ravenous skill that previously existed in Warlock of the Mists from Affliction League.

    Veruso’s Ambition makes the monster names also show their monster class, which is important for Ravenous skill. Because the skill allows the character to consume a target corpse and then gain a bonus against monsters of the same type. The buff it brings is also pretty powerful, namely 15% more damage done and 15% less damage taken against monsters of a specific class that are now in Affliction.

    While it’s clunky, this ability makes sense because you can get corpses from vendors in Wildwood, and these corpses will also have types. For example, you can select an Eldritch corpse and bring it to Maven’s Arena to consume, which will then increase your damage done to Mavens by 15% and reduce your damage taken by 15% for the entire encounter or until you die. However, you can’t target corpses that you summoned yourself in abilities such as Desecrate.

    With the introduction of Veruso’s Ambition in Necropolis, the corpse vendor system is gone, but the ability has not been modified, which only makes this skill harder to use than before. Unfortunately, Veruso’s Ambition is another thing that I think is rarely used.

    Anyway, here are some of Necropolis-only unique items that will be entering the core drop pool in PoE 3.25. Let me know what you think of these items. See you next time!
