As the Path of Exile community eagerly awaits the 3.23 update, a recent announcement via GGG's Twitch account has shed light on the upcoming Affliction League. In a comprehensive one-hour presentation, the developers discussed intriguing details about PoE2, core game updates, and the unique mechanics introduced in the Affliction League.

Unveiling the Sacred Wisp and Viridian Wildwood

The focal point of the Affliction League is the introduction of a captivating creature known as the Sacred Wisp. Encountering these mystical beings in the wild grants players access to the cursed Viridian Wildwood. Tasked with healing the forest, players will be guided by Sacred Wisps to collect different types of Wisps, each with distinct effects.

After the Sacred Wisps deplete their power, players will be transported out of the Viridian Wildwood, accompanied by the Wisps they've gathered. The Wisps, categorized as Primal (blue), Wild (purple), and Vivid (yellow), enhance nearby creatures or bosses with increased item rarity, quantity, or additional POE Orbs items, respectively.

Empowering Players for the Challenge

Within the Wildwood, resilient Azmeri survivors offer unique skill trees to aid players in confronting the King of the Mists and cleansing the afflicted forest. Choose between three distinct trees, Wildwood Primalist, Warden of the Maji, and Warlock of the Mists, available atop the standard Ascendancy trees.

- Wildwood Primalist focuses on Tinctures, a new flask type providing varied advantages against different enemy types.

- Warden of the Maji prioritizes utility, offering abilities like a chest-opening cry and increased loot extraction from corpses, along with the potential for expanded inventory space.

- Warlock of the Mists revolves around consuming enemy corpses to gain resistances and bonuses against specific enemy types, with the ability to purchase special enemy corpses through the Warlock's store.

Ultimatum, Metamorph, and Transfigured Gems

Beyond the Affliction League, Patch 3.23 brings significant changes to the core game:

- Ultimatum League Integration: The highly requested Ultimatum League becomes a core feature with a chance to encounter the Trialmaster in maps, offering new tiers of difficulty and valuable rewards.

- Metamorph Removal: To accommodate Ultimatum, the Metamorph League is phased out from the core game. Items such as Astral Projector, Fury Valve, Mother's Embrace, and Warrior's Legacy transition into the core item pool.

- Transfigured Gems: A mysterious addition, Transfigured Gems combine alternate quality gems, labyrinth helmet enchantments, and unique threshold jewels, promising unique functionalities for existing skill gems.
