POE 3.7.0 - Other Update Guide

POE 3.7.0 will be released soon, and the Path of Exile official website has released the first wave of POE 3.7 updates. Let's take a look at Other Update updated Guide in POE 3.7.

1. POE 3.7.O - World Changes

Over Path of Exile's life, we have slowly shifted more power to earlier in the game. For example, you now get a strong support gem on the starting beach, rather than getting your first in Merveil's Cavern. As a result, the difficulty of the early acts slowly became easier and easier. In this patch, we have made targeted efforts to bring some of the difficulty back to the first three acts. 

- Acts 1, 2 and 3 have seen significant improvements to monster and boss encounters. We won't ruin the fun of discovering them, so be careful out there!
- You'll no longer hear a crying woman in Act 7 Crossroads tempting you towards nonexistent story glyphs.

2. POE 3.7.O -  Monster Changes

- Magic monsters now have 50% more life at level 1, up to 75% more life at level 68 and above.
- Rare monsters now have 33% more life at level 1, up to 100% more life at level 68 and above. They now grant 54% more experience.
- Tormented Spirits are now more likely to appear near a rare or unique monster than not.
- Monsters which can block attacks and spells now say so beneath their nameplate. Such monsters do not block all damage when they block.
- Rogue Exiles no longer sound identical to their player Exile counterparts.

3. POE 3.7.O - NPC Changes

- Swapped Navali's Seek Prophecy and View Your Prophecies talk options to prevent misclicking while selling.

4. POE 3.7.O - Incursion Changes

- It now requires 12 separate Incursions to enter the Temple of Atzoatl in the present (up from 11). This gives you an extra attempt to upgrade or change a room before you enter the Temple with Alva.

5. POE 3.7.O -  Betrayal Changes

- Betrayal Fortification encounters are now prioritized over Shrines during level creation, meaning you should more reliably get the Betrayal encounters you are expecting.
You'll now encounter a new monster type in some Fortification encounters.

6. POE 3.7.0 - Strongbox Changes

- The Maelström Cell unique strongbox now also drops Divination Cards that give Shaper or Elder items as well as cards of certain stack size.

7. POE 3.7.0 - Azurite Mine and Sulphite Changes

- Improved the way Delve map layouts are generated, to allow for longer delves when necessary.
- The Ancient Wraith and Ancient Suffering monsters can now be desecrated while in the appropriate Delve area.

8. POE 3.7.0 - Prophecy Changes

- Items that drop exclusively from Prophecy-generated monsters can now drop from all Prophecy-generated monsters, rather than a small subset.

- Agents of the Void from Shaper-influenced maps now spawn monsters on death, which grant items and experience when slain.
- White- and yellow-tier Shaper-influenced maps can no longer spawn Shaper clones which attack you. Red-tier Shaper-influenced maps now have a 25% chance for the Shaper clone encounters, in addition to other Shaper-influence mechanics.
- Elder-influenced maps now always contain additional monsters.
- White- and yellow-tier Elder-influenced maps can no longer spawn Elder slam tentacles. Red-tier Elder-influenced maps now have a 25% chance for the Elder slam tentacles, in addition to other Elder-influence mechanics.

- The boss fight of the Graveyard map has been completely reworked.
- Improved the Belfry and Lava Lake fights. Extra monsters are now spawned during the fight which grants items and experience when slain. Both of these fights should feel significantly more rewarding for the time invested.

14. POE 3.7.0 - Bug Fixes

- Fixed a bug where Physical Damage would not bypass Energy Shield if that Energy Shield was protecting Mana.
- Fixed a bug where you could become trapped after defeating the Terrace map boss.
- Fixed a bug where you could prevent Tukohama from spawning one of his beam totems until the end of the fight, making it unkillable.
- Fixed a bug where the crafted mod "Trigger a Socketed Spell when you use a Skill" wasn't triggering if the skill you use created a trap, mine or totem.
- Fixed a bug where, when viewed with the detailed mod descriptions, some mods were given a worse tier than others in the same family because the mods provided their effect in the form of a negative value (such as reduced attribute requirements).
- Fixed a bug where the Frozen Trail unique jewel would cause Frostbolt projectiles to continue even after being detonated by Vortex.
- Fixed a bug where maps that were dropped or generated as Magic or Rare and were on a Shaped or Elder map base type did not take into account the new map tier when rolling mods. This also affected maps created by Zana for her missions. Any rerolling of mods did take the correct map tier into account.
- Fixed a bug where, when encountering Zana in a map, she would use the quest state of the first person to talk to her in a party, rather than the Map's owner, when generating her pool of maps to pick from.
- Fixed a bug where the Summon Phantasm Support would cause non-minion skills to be counted as minion skills for cases such as Null's Inclination's "Trigger Socketed Minion Skills on Kill" mod.
- Fixed a bug where Craiceann's Tectonic Slam skill got gigantic.
- Fixed a bug where Essence Drain, Soulrend, Bane and Contagion were all bypassing PvP scaling when triggered from a trap or mine.
- Fixed a bug where the Adrenaline buff from War Banner would end early if you were playing a Juggernaut and your Endurance Charges expired.
- Fixed a bug where channeled skills would not update their animation speed if the character's attack or cast speed changed while channelling.
- Fixed a bug where support gems with level requirement restrictions (such as Cast when Damage Taken) would change the restriction when socketed in an item that granted additional levels to the gem.
- Fixed a longstanding bug where Ethereal Knives projectiles would chain long past the projectile's lifetime.
- Fixed a bug where map bosses had lost the additional chance to drop a map adjacent to the one you were currently in.
- Fixed a bug where the "increased effect of non-damaging ailments on enemies" veiled modifier could appear on rings when dropped, but not when crafted. It now correctly appears on amulets rather than rings when dropped.
Fixed a Delve exploit.
