Path of Exile has announced its plans for the November events teased in a previous news post! You can read their full post below, but here's a quick recap:

  • November will be host to three events in Path of Exile, each of them one week long.
  • The first event will be Krangled Passives, where all characters' passives will be shuffled around, allowing for weird builds to emerge!
  • The second event will be Blast from the Past, where Sentinel and Lake of Kalandra mechanics will be brought back. This league is not voided, so any characters you create, as well as their items(!), will move to Standard when the event is over.
  • The third event will be Shifting Stones, where each are in the game will contain a juiced up version of a mechanic of the following: Tormented Spirits, Blight, Legion, Delirium or Beyond.
  • Reaching level 50 in any of two events will reward you with an Ancestor Mystery Box for each event.
  • Reaching higher levels (60, 70, 80, 85, 90 and 95) will enter your character into a random draw for the chance to receive additional cosmetics. More details below.
  • The events will run concurrently on all platforms.
  • There are no Hardcore versions of these events, nor can any Private Leagues be created.

Quote From Grinding Gear Games

This November we'll be running three Path of Exile events, with the first one starting next Friday (US Time)! All events will be available on PC and Consoles, so everyone is welcome to join in! There are many prizes up for grabs, including Mystery Boxes, randomly drawn microtransactions and exclusive hideout statues.

When planning these events, we tried to keep in mind the interests of different types of players. Some of you enjoy making interesting builds, some prefer facing extra challenges, while some just want to test themselves in the heat of battle. The events don't overlap, so you're welcome to play more than one!

You'll be able to win two guaranteed Ancestor Mystery Boxes per account for reaching Level 50 in any two of the events. This is a total of two guaranteed mystery boxes across all three events.

The events also have a huge pool of microtransaction prizes that are randomly drawn for characters that reach certain level thresholds. This pool of prizes is shared between PC and Console players, with each event having its own prize pool. Having multiple characters will increase your chances of winning a randomly drawn prize. More details on all the prizes can be found in each event's prize section below.

The Passive Skill Tree and all Ascendancy Trees are jumbled. Minor passive skills, notables, keystones, minor ascendancy skills and major ascendancy skills have been internally scrambled within those categories (so a notable passive is still a notable passive, just a random one). All players have the same trees. The Scion is not available in this event.

You can only see properties of passive or Ascendancy skills that are adjacent to ones you have allocated.

PC: The top three players overall will receive a full microtransaction bundle:

  • Mercurial Armour Set
  • Necrolord Wings

  • Challenger's Hideout Statue for Ranks #4-10
    On Consoles, the first place overall will receive a full microtransaction bundle, and the top five overall will receive hideout statues.

  • End date: 2pm November 10th PST which is Nov 11, 2023 12:00 AM (GMT+2)

Harness the power of ancient Sentinels and explore the mysterious Lake of Kalandra! The Blast from the Past event offers you an opportunity to return to these Path of Exile leagues from the past or experience them for the first time in case you missed them.

In this event, almost every Path of Exile area has both the Sentinel and Kalandra mechanics active. For more information on how these leagues work, check out the Challenge League sections in the patch notes here and here.

Will these events run on all platforms?
Yes.

Are there Hardcore versions of these events?
No.

Can I play my existing character?
No, you'll need to make new characters in each event.

How do I join the event?
At the character selection screen, there's a panel below your characters which will list the events available. You can join the event by clicking 'join'. This option becomes available 30 minutes before the event is set to begin. Your character won't be able to move until the event starts.

Can I make Private Leagues versions of these events?
No.

Can I change my Ascendancy Class during these events?
Yes.

If I delete my character, will I still get a prize?
No. Please do not delete your characters until after the prizes have been awarded.

If I level multiple characters will I have a greater chance of winning a prize?
Yes. Every character you level will be independently included in the pool for the prize draw at the end of the event. This excludes mystery boxes, where you will only be able to receive two per account.

Can I win more than one microtransaction prize?
Yes, it's possible to win multiple prizes. This excludes the mystery box which is awarded twice per account. You only need to reach level 50 in two of the events to receive the free mystery box. This can be found in your microtransaction stash once awarded.

When will I receive a prize?
The Ancestor Mystery Boxes will be awarded automatically. Other microtransactions and hideout statues will be awarded after the end of the event. You'll receive a private message on the website to notify you when this has happened. Note that outside of the Mystery Box and hideout statues, prizes are drawn randomly and are not necessarily guaranteed. We'll post on our X to confirm when the final prizes have gone out.

Will I be able to access Trial of the Ancestors during the events?
The Trial of the Ancestors is enabled only in the Krangled event.

What happens if I already have all of the microtransactions from the Ancestor Mystery Box?
If you already own the entire Ancestor Mystery Box series, you'll instead be awarded with two Apollyon Mystery Boxes per Ancestor Box earned. If you reach level 50 in two events, you will receive four Apollyon Mystery Boxes.

Are the randomly drawn microtransaction prize pools shared across platforms?
The randomly-drawn microtransaction prize pool for each event is shared across PC/Console.

Good luck, Exiles! We're looking forward to seeing the events unfold. If you're not able to participate, be sure to check the action out live on Twitch!
