Path of Exile’s Settlers of Kalguur league has shattered concurrent player records and has the best player retention among any leagues so far. It is one of the best leagues ever, but even with all the great new features, there are still some hindrances, especially when it comes to Recombinators, Power Rune rarity, and the T17 endgame fiasco. Luckily, most of these problems will be addressed in the Path of Exile 3.25.1 patch, and here are the details.
Path of Exile 3.25.1 Patch Details – Settlers of Kalguur League
Kingsmarch Changes
Reworked how shipping Thaumaturgic Dust affects Shipping Risk and Rewards. Previously, it was multiplying the shipment value and having a disproportionately high impact on risk compared to rewards. Now, it simply adds to the Shipment Value and scales the amount of rewards based on the other goods being shipped. This means the way Thaumaturgic Dust affects Shipment Value/Risk now directly correlates with the number of rewards you will receive, and in almost all cases, this is a buff from before.
When Recombinating items, rarer Modifiers now have a much higher chance of being selected for the resulting item than before.
To prevent players from leaving accidentally, players now spawn further away from the portal in the Admiral Valerius Boss Area.
Added the Uber Boss Fragments, missing Fossils, and the Blighted Scouting Report to the Currency Exchange.
It is confusing to see how the Thaumaturgic Dust changes will be a positive or a “buff” if the changes make it additive instead of multiplicative. However, we can trust them on this one. Based on the wording, it seems like Thaumaturgic Dust has been indirectly giving you rewards and now the dusts are directly tied to the number of rewards. Since most players would have millions of Thaumaturgic Dust, maybe this is what they meant when they said it was buffed.
