Official patch notes mirror. Source: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3932540.

The Runes of Aldur League

• Start fresh in a new economy with the Runes of Aldur league.
• In each area in the Runes of Aldur League you will find a Remnant which allows you to craft an item of your choosing by using Runic Recipes engraved into the slots on the Remnant.
• Depending on the Runeshapes used, you will then face an encounter with tough enemies that you will need to defeat to claim your item
• Each additional runeshape used to craft the item will increase the number of waves of enemies, adding additional runic modifiers to the enemies with each wave.
• Remnants start with any number of slots between 2 and 10 with higher numbers being much rarer, but allowing you to craft much rarer items.
• Monsters raised by Remnants can drop Verisium metal, a new currency.
• Added new NPC Farrow with 4 new quests in the campaign allowing you to unlock various new crafting features.
• New Crafting System: Verisium Runeforging
• After unlocking Verisum Runeforging in Act 1 this system allows you to add Runic Ward to your armours by spending verisium. Armours lower than level 55 gain Runic Ward with no downside. Armours above this level trade some of their regular base defences for Runic Ward.
• Added new defence: Runic Ward. This defence kicks in once you reach 1 life allowing you to continue to survive while your Runic Ward takes damage. Runic Ward regenerates independently of your life.
• Added 13 new Alloy currency items, which can be unlocked through Remnant encounters after completing Farrow's quest in Act 2. These items add various new crafted modifiers to items by replacing an existing modifier, similar to Perfect Essences.
• After unlocking Unique Verisium Runeforging in Act 3 you can upgrade the base type of Unique Weapons and Armours that drop at levels lower than 55. Upgraded Unique Weapons will have higher damage, and Upgraded Armours will have increased base defences as well as Runic Ward. Allowing them to be more competitive at higher levels. Unique Armours above level 55 can still be Runeforged to modify their defences to include Runic Ward at the cost of reducing their other defenses similar to the base types.
• Unique Verisium Runeforging has additional properties when used on Kalguuran Uniques.
• Added 13 Ancient Runes which can be unlocked to be crafted by Remnant encounters after completing Farrow's quest in Act 4. These runes have powerful bonuses specific to each weapon type.
• Added 13 Mythical early game runes that can be crafted from Remnant encounters to provide significant boosts to level 15+ characters.
• Added 3 Fluxes which can be crafted from Remnants to transform the resistances on your items from one element to another.
• Added 15 Meta crafting runes that can be crafted from remnants.
• Added 60+ runes that can be created by destroying a unique to make a rune that gains some of its properties.
• Added 15+ Runic Ward Runes that can be crafted from Remnants, adding or modifying properties related to Runic Ward.
• Added 21 Kalguuran Skills that can be crafted from Remnants: Animus Exchange, Animus Splinters, Bitter Dead, Conductive Runes, Detonate Living, Eternal March, Explosive Transmutation, Fragments of the Past, Frostflame Nova, Grim Pillars, Hollow Shell, Leylines, Powered by Verisium, Refutation, Remnants of Kalguur, Repulsion, Runic Reprieve, Skyfall, Triskelion Cascade, Verisium Manifestations, and Voltaic Barrier.
• Added 8 Kalguuran Supports that can be crafted from remnants: Concussive Runes, Fist of Kalguur, Healing Runes, Kalguuran Conviction, Runeforged Blades, Runic Extraction, Runic Infusion and Scouring Flame.
• Expedition Remnants have been changed into the Remnants from The Runes of Aldur league.
• New Endgame Story: Set out on an expedition with Farrow to explore the Ocean as you investigate the tombs of fallen Kalguurans and challenge them to earn remarkable rewards. Seek out the crater of a fallen star, a meteor of pure Verisium, from which you hope to forge objects of immense power… if you can defeat what awaits you there.
• There is now a hub area "The Ruins of Kingsmarch" for The Runes of Aldur to the south-east of your starting location on the Atlas.
• The Logbook mechanic has been changed into an Ocean Exploring mechanic. Using logbooks now unveils a section of the ocean with a variety of islands to explore.
• Many new underground areas have been added that can be uncovered during expeditions.
• Many new islands have been added with new Grand Expeditions (previously known as logbooks).
• Medved, Vorana and Uhtred join Olroth as the 4 Faction Leaders available to fight on new Islands that you can discover in the Ocean.
• Defeating Olroth will give you a key that you can use to access the new Pinnacle Boss for The Runes of Aldur.
• The new Runes of Aldur challenge league includes the first set of challenges in Path of Exile 2. Earn pieces of the Knight of Aldur Armour Set when you complete 2, 4, 6, and 8 challenges in Runes of Aldur. These challenge rewards are only obtainable in this league.
• From the 1st challenge onwards and for every challenge after that, you will receive pieces of the Runes of Aldur Totem decoration to display in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Runes of Aldur challenges you completed during the league.
• All of your old characters from the Early Access launch are still present but a free passive tree refund has been granted due to the changes. We would highly encourage you to join the new leagues to fully take in the changes we've made with the 0.5.0 update.
• With 0.5.0, there are Standard, Hardcore and Solo Self-Found variations of the Runes of Aldur challenge league available. They have the same core mechanics and items, and you can create private league versions of these leagues.
• The Hardcore variations of Runes of Aldur are parented to their Standard Runes of Aldur equivalent, meaning if you die in Hardcore Runes of Aldur you can continue on in the Standard Runes of Aldur League.

Masters of the Atlas

• Alongside the Atlas tree, a new system called Masters of the Atlas introduces Ascendancy-style progression for the endgame. Players can align with different masters - such as Jado of the Order of the Djinn or the monster hunter Hilda - each offering unique, asymmetric bonuses that can be swapped between maps at will, enabling build-defining bonuses.
• Each master has 12 nodes of which 4 can be selected at the same time. You can change your selection at any time.

• Completing Delirium Mirrors now has a chance to spawn Grand Mirrors on the Atlas on a nearby map. Grand mirrors create a duplicate of the map boss in the affected map. Killing both map bosses will unlock a new atlas mechanic: The Trial of Madness
• After triggering the Trial of Madness, fog will spread from a map of your choosing on the Atlas including a locked Simulacrum. While inside the fog, the entire map is Delirious starting at 10%. Killing Rare monsters and the Map boss increases the Deliriousness of all maps in the fog. On reaching 100% the Simulacrum will become available. Deliriousness can continue to be increased up to 200% delirious.
• Rare and Unique monsters in Delirious maps have a set of new Delirious modifiers giving them strange new abilities.
• Map bosses of Delirious Maps can additionally drop a new set of 3 Potent emotions that can be used to craft new powerful modifiers on Jewels that are not available in the normal Jewel mod pool.

• Simulacrum has been updated, and is now a 7-wave encounter.
• Completing a Simulacrum will now give you a key to face the new Delirium Pinnacle Boss

Sky hives contain a challenging multi-wave encounter in which you will need to defend Ailith while she closes the domain. Ailith will gain a series of abilities that can be triggered during the encounter with various effects.
• Fortresses are a new area with a new pair of bosses, Tul and Esh. Defeating Tul and Esh will give you a key to access the existing Breach Pinnacle boss.

Ritual

• New Storyline: Aoife lingers as a restless spirit, bound to the Wildwood and searching for one who might answer her call. The King in the Mists has claimed her flesh, leaving her soul adrift, untethered and unable to pass beyond. She believes that only by reclaiming what was taken can she be made whole once more. Find out more at https://pathofexile2.com/ancients#ritual

• Killing the King in the Mists now drops a new key, The Head of the King. This key can be used in Caer Tarth to begin the Rite of the Nameless.
• The Rite of the Nameless is a new atlas mechanic in which you choose a series of 5 maps to complete a single continous ritual. The monsters from each ritual, including the map boss, will reappear in each map in the sequence making for a very challenging encounter. The unique bosses from each map will only appear in the final ritual of each map.
• While choosing maps for the Rite of the Nameless, each map after the first will contain extra modifiers which affect the difficulty and rewards of the rituals during the Rite.
• Each map in the Rite of the Nameless awards one element of the key used to access the Ritual Pinnacle Boss
• Added New Boss: The Queen in the Mists available after allocating a specific node on the Atlas Tree. This boss can drop three new corrupted Idols.
• Freythorn Rituals are now prevented from ever showing deferred items, to ensure items are not lost if returning to this area on a higher level character.

Fate of the Vaal Moving To Core

• Fate of the Vaal has been added to the Core Game. You first encounter a series of 6 Ancient Beacons in Act 3, energise them to obtain Energised Crystals and open a portal to the Vaal Ruins. You'll encounter a second set of 6 Ancient Beacons in the Interludes.
• There is now an Atlas Passive Tree for the Fate of the Vaal league mechanic.
• Atziri's Temple can now be found on the atlas to the north east of your starting location in the city of Lira Vaal. Maps inside the city of Lira Vaal always have Energised Crystals and grant points for the Fate of the Vaal Atlas Passive Tree.
• There are also new Temple Precursor Tablets that will guarantee Vaal Beacons in your map if you want to focus on this league.
• It is no longer possible to prevent a room being deleted from the temple. Rooms that must be deleted, but have other connections, will be turned into simple Path rooms. This prevents the "snake" strategy.
• The number of rooms in the temple when first starting has increased to allow getting to Atziri more quickly.
• Rooms can now be upgraded to Tier 4 after unlocking this ability on the Temple Atlas Tree. This allows more specialisation into particular room types and encourages more interesting temple layouts.

• The Rathpith Globe Unique Focus can now roll 8-15% increased Life Cost Efficiency (previously 12-20%).
• The Shackles of the Wretched Unique Gloves can no longer roll Elemental Ailments other than Freeze you inflict at Reflected to you, instead now being able to roll 10-15% increased Damage per Curse on you.
• The Vertex Unique Helmet can no longer roll +2-4 to Level of All Skill Gems, instead now being able to roll +3-5 to Level of All Curse Skill Gems.

Abyss

• There are now large Abyss cracks on the atlas. Completing Atlas Abysses will close them and always give you an Abyssal Depths with a boss fight.
• The Abyss Atlas Tree has been revamped with many new nodes and changes to existing nodes.
• Kulemak's Invitation is now always allocated to the Map owner.
• Abyss Omens no longer drop in areas below level 65.
• Modifiers to the number of chests found now apply to Chests found in Abyss. These also apply to the chance to find an Abyssal Depths, so the chance to find an Abyssal Depths does not decrease with more chests in the area.
• Adjusted the damage of the Meteoric Demise Abyss Monster modifier.
• Lithomantic Runes from the Lithomantic Runes Abyss Monster modifier are now active after a longer Delay.

Expedition

• You can now use currency from your stash to purchase items from Expedition Vendors.

Other Endgame Changes

• With the introduction of the new Endgame storyline, the Atlas has been reset. Your existing tablets and waystones will continue to work so you can continue your progression as normal, but in order to gain points for the Atlas Tree you will need to do the Origins of Divinity storyline.
• Added support for searching to the Endgame Atlas Map.
• You can now zoom out slightly further on the Atlas screen.
• There are now two versions of each pinnacle boss, the Quest version and the Infinite Farm version. As such Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Calamity Fragments can no longer be obtained.
• Tablets of the same type may now be used together to increase the amount of the league content that is spawned. The specifics of this are different for each content type. In some cases adding multiple tablets will increase the size of a single encounter, while in other cases it will increase the number of encounters spawned.
• Each empty tablet slot now contributes to the amount of random non-tablet spawned league content in the area. This means that if all tablets slots are full, you will only see the league content from the tablets you are using. The intent of this change is to make sure that you do not need to complete the atlas trees for leagues you do not intend to run.
• Waystones must now be identified in order to activate them in the Map Device.
• You can now use Orbs of Chance on Tablets.
• Some items and content now require you to specialise in them through Atlas Passive Skills including Exceptional Items, Fracturing Orbs, Basic and Overseer precursor tablets.
• Tablets can no longer be used on maps that cannot have extra content (such as Unique Maps).
• League-specific Tablets no longer drop from non-Map areas, such as Simulacrum, Abyssal Depths or the Twisted Domain.
• Lowered the base chances for Essences, Azmeri Spirits, Shrines, Strongboxes, Summoning Circles and Rogue Exiles appearing in Maps somewhat due to the much larger increase now available on the Atlas Tree.
• Atlas Passives that reference maps with Powerful Map Bosses now work with Overseer Precursor Tablets and other sources of Powerful Map Bosses.
• Adjusted the values of general Precursor Tablet Modfiiers to be similar to the same type bonuses granted by Waystone Modifiers. Also reduced the roll variance of these Modifiers.
• The following Modifiers can no longer roll on Waystones: Baron's, Beastly, Brambled, Doryani's, Enervating, Faridun's, Hallowed, of Nemeses, Perennial's, Rusted, and Sacrificial.
• Whether a Map Modifier is a Suffix or a Prefix has been adjusted so that generally Prefixes are Modifiers that affect a monster output towards the player, and Suffixes are Modifiers that affect the player or monster defences.
• The following Suffix Modifiers are now Prefixes: Of Destruction, of Fleeting, of Impact, of Penetration, of Puncturing, of Shattering, of Splitting, and of Venom.
• The following Prefix Modifiers are now Suffixes: Buffering, Enduring, Enfeebling, Eroding, Evasive, Flaming, Hexwarded, Shocking, Sleet, and Slowing.
• The of Overpowering Waystone Modifier no longer causes Monsters to have increased Freeze Buildup, Shock Chance, or inflict increased Flammability Magnitude. It now causes Monsters to have increased Elemental Ailment Application.
• Waystone Modifier bonuses have been updated. They now provide more Monster Effectiveness, Pack Size, Item Rarity, Monster Rarity, or Waystone Drop Chance, depending on the modifier. These Modifiers are multiplicative with other sources, such as those found on the Atlas Passive Tree.
• Modifiers to Pack Size now also provide a chance for an additional Rare Monster to appear in Rare Monster packs.
• Monster Rarity is a new stat available that affects the chances of magic and rare monsters, and the chance for additional modifiers on Rare Monsters.
• Map modifiers that included sources of increased number of Rare Monsters or increased number of magic Monsters have been updated to only display the number at the header of the map, and not also be displayed amongst the explicit modifiers. This is not a functional change.
• Halved the bonus to Quantity of Item Dropped and Experience Gain provided by increased Monster Effectiveness (such as from Atziri's Temple).
• The functionality of the Omen of Chaotic Rarity, Omen of Chaotic Quantity and Omen of Chaotic Monsters have been inverted. Instead of guaranteeing the new modifiers are of their type, they instead prevent the modifiers from being of their type.
• Added the new Omen of Chaotic Effectiveness. While this item is active in your inventory your next Chaos Orb will replace all Modifiers on a Waystone with Modifiers that do not grant Monster Effectiveness.
• Up to 3 of the above Omens may be used simultaneously.
• Halved the Damage as Extra buffs granted from the following shrines: Freezing Shrine, Gloom Shrine, Meteoric Shrine, and Tempest Shrine.
• Completion of fixed locations on the Atlas is now shared with party members.
• With the addition of more varied content on the Atlas Map the size of content indicators has been increased 50%.
• Waystones have received new 2D art.

Campaign Replayability

• To improve how long it takes for experienced players to replay through the game in each new league we've added added elements to multiple Campaign areas that tell you where to go, if you know what to look for. You can see some examples in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miL0Ms-VwGI
• Some areas throughout the game that have been shortened.
• Removed the second dreadnaught area, "The Dreadnaught Vanguard". The Act 2 boss is now in "The Dreadnaught."
• Area order in Act 3 has been somewhat rearranged in order to make progression smoother.
• The Waterways levers have been turned into pressure pads that you simply need to walk over, and the final part of the level has the water pre-drained.
• Monster density in the second half of the campaign has been reduced, especially in the Interludes to allow getting through these areas more quickly.

Player Changes

• Bleed damage on players is no longer increased while the player is moving. This change does not affect bleeds players apply to monsters.
• Your maximum Runic Ward is now added to your starting Honour when beginning a Trial of the Sekhemas.
• The "Defences" keyword is no longer in use. Existing uses of the word "Defences" now explicitly refer to "Armour, Evasion and Energy Shield" to make it more clear that these modifiers do not apply to Runic Ward, Resistances, Block, or other forms of protection. This is purely a description change.
• Only a single Leech instance per resource (Life, Mana, or Energy Shield) can apply at a time. When multiple Leech instances are active, only the one with the highest recovery rate will recover you until it expires, after which the next-highest recovery rate instance will apply.
• There is now a limit on the maximum amount of damage a hit can be considered to deal for Leech. Hits that deal less than 40,000 total damage are unaffected, but if a hit would deal more than 40,000 total damage, it is treated as dealing only 40,000 damage for purposes of Leech calculation. The values of each damage type in the hit are scaled down evenly to reach this limit. This means that extremely high-damage hits stop improving Leech past a certain point, but increasing your leech percentage will always increase the amount of the resource you are gaining.
• The formula for chance to Deflect has been adjusted to provide better scaling with investment into Deflection Rating, with a cap of 95% chance to Deflect (similar to chance to Evade being capped at 95%).
• The new chance to Deflect is = 150*(1 - A/(A + 0.12*D)), where A = attacker accuracy rating, and D = defender deflection rating. This makes for a linear path, that gets rewarded at higher investments.
• Parry, Shield Block and Resonating Shield no longer delay Heavy Stun buildup from decaying longer than expected.
• Melee Attacks can now only apply Splash Damage once per damaging area. Some Attacks create multiple damaging areas during use. For example, Whirling Assault creates multiple damaging areas around you as you move.
• When Minions are removed due to resources changing (such as weapon swapping), younger (newer) Minions are now prioritised for removal over older Minions to avoid wasting Minion cooldown abilities unnecessarily.
• Minions affected by Last Gasp Support or Tecrod's Revenge Lineage Support and Totems affected by the Unnamed Heartwood Oracle Notable Passive Skill can no longer die during the effect from taking further damage exceeding their Maximum Life.
• Stats worded as "when you collect a Remnant" no longer give you the benefits of these stats when an Ally shares the effects of a Remnant with you.
• Updated the name of the buff that Trinity grants to Affinity (as Resonance is the name of a Keystone passive skill). This is purely a description update.
• Archon Buffs are no longer inherently lost when you attack. This is now a property of Elemental Archon specifically.

New Content and Features

• Introduced the new Martial Artist Ascendancy Class for the Monk. After decades of training, the Martial Artist has become a master of illusions. Empowered by the runes socketed into his body, this class creates powerful illusions, summons illusory bells to aid him, and excels at using his hands as weapons.
• Introduced the new Spirit Walker Ascendancy Class for the Huntress. Bound to the wilds, this class calls upon spirits to answer to her will granting different abilities aligning with the Stag, Owl or Bear. Through their guidance, the Spirit Walker may subdue even the most formidable beasts, binding them in spirit, or call forth a spectral companion to fight beside her.

Updates to Patch Notes

Updates for 22/5/26

• After unlocking Unique Verisium Runeforging in Act 3 you can upgrade the base type of Unique Weapons and Armours that drop at levels lower than 55. Upgraded Unique Weapons will have higher damage, and Upgraded Armours will have increased base defences as well as Runic Ward. Allowing them to be more competitive at higher levels. Unique Armours above level 55 can still be Runeforged to modify their defences to include Runic Ward at the cost of reducing their other defenses similar to the base types.
• Ghost Dance: The interval between gaining Ghost Shrouds is no longer a duration. It now has "Modifiers to Cooldown Recovery Rate also apply to Ghost Shroud gain frequency". It also now has "When Hit, lose a Ghost Shroud", and "Regenerate Energy Shield equal to 2% of your Evasion Rating per second if you have lost a Ghost Shroud Recently". Now Gains a Ghost Shroud every 11.7-10.1 seconds at Gem levels 4-20 (previously 7.6-6.1)
