PoE 1 & PoE 2 · Patch notes
Path of Exile patch notes for both games
In PoE 3.30.0, the Atlas tree starts in the middle and has 150 earnable points. Threads replace Scarabs, and Harvest encounters and some Horticrafting costs change. Recheck your Atlas route and craft costs before following a 3.29 farming guide.
PoE 1: 3.30.0b restartless patch
GGG removed the 20% increased damage taken penalty on Covetous Shrines. Gwennen now warns that players must choose a gamble outcome before reclaiming their item, and blocks the gamble when they cannot afford any outcome.
Beyond boss return portals work again, Rogue Exiles spawn from strongboxes that list them, and items can be linked in chat. The patch also fixes Wickerman audio and Abyss visuals, corrects the Foretold Foes challenge wording and names the unique boss in The Broken Bridge.
The servers stayed online during deployment. Restart the game client to receive the client-side changes. Read GGG's 3.30.0b patch notes.
PoE 1: 3.30.0 Hotfix 3
GGG fixed a client crash that could affect players using the Russian language setting. The Mirage border effect now appears only within the Mirage.
PoE 1: 3.30.0 Hotfix 2
GGG fixed excessive physical damage over time from some Abyss monster modifiers. A random Bestiary Thread modifier that gives Einhar an aura now makes dying enemies explode against other enemies. The bug had caused those explosions to damage players and their allies. The hotfix also fixes two instance crashes.
PoE 1: 3.30.0 launch hotfix
GGG fixed a controller shortcut that sometimes failed to show the XP and level popup. The hotfix also addresses client and instance crashes, including a Vulkan crash triggered by resizing or minimizing the game window.
PoE 1: Covens of Umbra 3.30.0
Grinding Gear Games published the 3.30.0 notes on November 11. These are the changes to check before importing an old Atlas tree or build.
- Atlas and map investment. The Atlas tree now starts in the centre and has 150 earnable points, up from 138. Scarabs convert into a matching Thread or a Frayed Thread. Check the new Atlas route and Thread setup before buying supplies for a familiar farm.
- Harvest and Horticrafting. In maps, Sacred Flora spawns monsters that drop Lifeforce. Tier 1 Harvest monsters no longer drop Lifeforce, and some bench recipes now use multiple colours. Recalculate the cost of a damage-type swap or Divination Card gamble using the new recipe.
- Build balance. Winter Orb loses a projectile at level 20 and has lower base damage and added damage effectiveness. Warden gets slower Mana Burn through Enduring Suffusion, and Pathfinder’s Master Distiller changes its bonuses. Check your PoB against the new values.

November 13 additions to the 3.30.0 notes
GGG added two Atlas Drops interactions to the launch notes. In Legion, monsters and chests with reward icons can give more rewards based on the area’s Atlas Drops. In Ultimatum, Atlas Drops now also scale round rewards that come in stacks, such as currency. This scaling previously applied only to Catalyst rewards.
GGG also lowered the health of the Consort of the Depths Abyss miniboss and fixed an issue that could prevent players from finishing the It That Was Esh fight. The same update includes fixes for hired mercenaries affected by Delirium, minimap icons and several hideouts. Read the November 13 update in GGG’s 3.30.0 thread.
PoE 2: 0.5.5f
The November 11 restart fixed previously unlocked Hideouts becoming locked again, including Shoreline Hideout. It also fixed a Corrupted Precursor Beacon reward failure and intermittent missing light beams on affected maps. The previous hotfix addressed a missing reward after completing the affected map series.
