Key Features

• Freedom. Power. Revenge.

  Path of Exile is an online Action RPG designed around a strong online item economy and deep character customization. Set in the dark fantasy world of Wraeclast, scarred by mysterious catastrophes and inhabited by creatures of nightmare, the very environment challenges exiles who dare explore it. Play as one of seven distinct classes: Duelist, Witch, Ranger, Templar, Marauder, Shadow, or the Scion. Explore Wraeclast from forsaken shores to the city of Oriath and uncover its ancient secrets.

• Unlimited Character Customization

  Create and customize hundreds of unique skill combinations from tradable itemized gems and a gigantic Passive Skill Tree. Combine skill gems, support gems, and trigger gems to craft your own unique blend of power, defense, and destruction. All character classes share the vast Passive Skill Tree. Focus on your class's core specialities or travel across the tree to build complex combinations. Keystone passives, Masteries, and Jewel Sockets drastically alter character gameplay.

• Armed to Kill

  Path of Exile is completely designed around items. Flasks are persistent items with modifiers, and endgame areas appear as Map items with challenges and rewards. Gold has been removed as currency, with the trade economy based on orbs that can randomly reroll item properties. The item system is crafted for veterans of Action RPGs.

• Explore the Atlas of Worlds

  The Atlas of Worlds presents over a hundred high-level maps designed to test the limits of your build. Unveil its dark secrets and face Wraeclast's most dangerous bosses. The Atlas of Worlds has its own Passive Skill Tree; earn skill points by completing maps and create your unique endgame experience.

• Deadly Missions

  Encounter fellow Exiles who seek your help on your journey through Wraeclast. Capture wild beasts for Einhar, delve into the Azurite Mine with Niko, explore the Temple of Atzoatl with Alva, or investigate a mysterious Immortal Syndicate with Jun. This optional content rewards valuable currency, powerful tradeable items, and new crafting methods.

• Customise Your Hideout

  Discover secret locations swarmed with dangerous monsters. Claim a Hideout for yourself and create your personalized town. Use it as a quiet place to trade, craft, or expand it into a Guild Hall with hundreds of decorations.

• Be Ruthless

  Ruthless is an optional game mode offering a more challenging Path of Exile experience with extreme item scarcity, limited crafting, and support gems as drop-only. Ruthless is about friction, tension, and anticipation; overcoming its difficulty is highly rewarding, where every item drop holds the potential for a breakthrough.
