-
Start Date: 12PM February 20th PST
End Date: 1PM March 23rd PDT
Based on: Settlers of Kalguur
Platforms: PC and Consoles
Standard, Hardcore, Standard Solo Self-Found and Hardcore Solo Self-Found versions available. The event also has a Ruthless mode available which uses the same Ascendancy Classes as non-Ruthless versions.
This event is not voided. Items and characters will transfer to parent leagues at the end of the event. Upon migration, your characters’ Ascendancy points will be respecced and you'll be assigned one of the core Ascendancy classes.
In the Legacy of Phrecia event, all the 19 Ascendancy classes you are familiar with will be replaced with new ones. Become a Servant of Arakaali and raise spiders to fight alongside you; use the powers of nature itself as the Daughter of Oshabi or just ascend into a Harbinger - this event manifests the wildest ideas of our design team into reality. Explore the Ascendancy Classes available in the Legacy of Phrecia below (the Scavenger Ascendancy for Scion will be revealed early next week):
Ranger
Daughter of Oshabi
As an Azmeri, the daughter has a great respect for nature - particularly the forest. She shares many of the powers of the Warden of the Maji, as well as being empowered by Shrines or utilising Sacred Wisps to aid Wand attacks.
Whisperer
The Whisperer is a descendant of Inya of the Pale Court. She travels silently, imbuing her attacks with arcane powers. Investing in your Mana is core to taking advantage of many of her abilities.
Wildspeaker
The Wildspeaker worships the First Ones, a set of animalistic avatars from Ezomyte legend. Choose between the aspect of Farrul, first of the plains, or Saqawal, first of the sky. Her love for the animals of the forest grants her several abilities that aid her allies in battle.
Marauder
Antiquarian
This Karui Collector hails from the port of Ngakanu. Over the course of his long career he has traded for historical artifacts, many of which he can employ in combat. Choose from Kalguuran relics, Karui trinkets used by legendary Chieftains or equipment from one of the great Karui enemies, General Marceus Lioneye.
Behemoth
The Behemoth abhors magic and the users of it. The truest form of combat should be hand to hand, up close and personal. The Behemoth gets progressively stronger throughout combat, gaining Rampage, Fortify and Rage.
Ancestral Commander
This Marauder calls the spirits of his Karui ancestors to his side to both protect him and strike foes down. Be comforted in the knowledge that you have generations of predecessors watching over you.
Shadow
Surfcaster
The Surfcaster is simply a Chill guy. His home is with the sea, for which he attunes to gain control of the Cold and Lightning elements. An expert fisherman himself you can reap great rewards for holding a Fishing Rod, if you can find him one.
Servant of Arakaali
Tempted by the Spinner of Shadows herself, the Servant does the bidding of the Queen. Arachnophobes stay away, because the Servant can both raise spiders to fight alongside or embrace the Aspect of the Spider to cover enemies in webs.
Blind Prophet
Little is known about who the Prophet worships, but it is suspected to be a subterranean evil. Blind from a young age, the Prophet has heightened their other senses through years of training, gaining prowess in projectile attacks, stealth and inflicting curses.
Witch
Harbinger
Become a Harbinger, manipulating the bounds of reality itself. The Harbinger specializes in Time Magic as well as summoning Harbinger allies from their homeworld to assist you in combat. As a bonus you also get to fly and be blue.
Herald
The Herald sees calamity in the future, hopefully only for your enemies. She forsakes auras to go all in on Herald skills, empowering them beyond being simply minor buffs.
Bog Shaman
This witch has taken up residence in a faraway bog, away from the putrid stench of humanity. She has brewed a set of toxins that she administers to herself daily to gain potent skills in exchange for but minor drawbacks.
Duelist
Gambler
Are you the kind of player who likes to play against the odds? This is the perfect class for risk lovers who want to experience the highest of highs, and potentially the lowest of lows. The Gambler specialises in betting on a high payoff and having lady luck take control.
Paladin
The Paladin is a Duelist who has taken a righteous path. He serves to better his allies in combat, protecting them from danger through Link and Aura skills as well as Taunting enemies.
Aristocrat
Born with a silver spoon in their mouth, the Aristocrat had access to the finest education in Oriath. Starting one step ahead in life grants the Aristocrat more passive skill points than any other class.
Templar
Architect of Chaos
A budding Vaal Architect, this disciple of Chaos experiments with all the deepest secrets of the Vaal. Many of his powers come with a cost. The Architect benefits from employing multiple Vaal skills in their arsenal and enhances equipped Corrupted items.
Polytheist
After a crisis of faith this Templar has decided to devote his worship between several of Wraeclast’s Pantheon of deities, with the aim of finding a new purpose in life. Powers familiar to each of the gods will be yours if you choose to pursue their paths.
Puppeteer
This Templar has desecrated the holy order by experimenting with Undead in his secret laboratory. His aim is reanimation, to command an army of flesh puppets to undertake his foul bidding.
Scion
Scavenger
This Scion has happened upon a heap of ‘trash’, discarded by other exiles, but for what reason? What exile could look at these curios and think they weren’t incredibly valuable? Well it is hers now, just to decide which to take as she can't carry them all.
In addition, the Atlas Passive Tree in this event (and this event only) has been replaced by a new system. As you progress through the endgame you'll find Idols, which can be placed into a new tab on the Map Receptacle UI to modify your maps. Find out more about the Idol system here. Note to Item Filter creators: use the new class ‘Idol’ to support Idols in your filters.
By reaching level 20, 40, 60 and 80 in the Legacy of Phrecia event, you’ll be able to earn pieces of the Autumn Knight Armour Set (Boots, Gloves, Body Armour and Helmet respectively). Just like the regular Challenge League rewards, the Autumn Knight Armour Set is earned exclusively in this event and will not be available for purchase. It will also be available for use in Path of Exile 2 if earned. Check it out!
Twitch Drops will be available for the first week of the event (12PM February 20th PST - 12PM February 27th). Watch your favourite streamer playing the Legacy of Phrecia and receive the Havenwood Cloak that perfectly accompanies the Autumn Knight Armour Set!
You will get the Havenwood Cloak after 2 hours of accumulated watch time on any channel streaming Path of Exile during the first week of the Legacy of Phrecia. This means that the drop is guaranteed for everyone who has watched any Path of Exile stream for this amount of time. This promotion is available for all accounts.
Visit your Twitch Settings page while logged in. If your account isn't connected, click the "Connect" button for Twitch under "Other Connections". Complete the process on Twitch and you will be redirected back to your Twitch Settings page. If your account is already connected, this page should say "Your Path of Exile account is currently linked to your Twitch account."
After you have accumulated enough watch time to earn your Havenwood Cloak, you must redeem it from your Twitch Inventory before they will be available in your microtransactions list in Path of Exile.
When the event begins on February 20th, just create a new character in either Standard or Hardcore Legacy of Phrecia event on the Character Selection screen. If you want to play SSF or Ruthless, don’t forget to select those options on the screen.
Will the Legacy of Phrecia event run on all platforms?
Yes. The event is available on PC and Consoles.
Can I play my existing character?
No, you’ll need to make a new character.
Can I change my Ascendancy class during the event?
Yes.
Will I receive multiple Autumn Knight Armour sets by levelling several characters in the event?
No, you will be able to receive only one Armour Set per account.
When will I receive a piece of the Armour Set?
A piece of the Autumn Knight Armour set will be awarded automatically upon reaching level 20, 40, 60 and 80 (you’ll receive Boots, Gloves, Body Armour and Helmet respectively).
Will you consider extending the event? One month feels like not enough time to try out everything.
We will consider extending the event based on its popularity, but we will also be adding alternate Ascendancy Classes and Idols Endgame system individually as Private League options some time after the event so you can experiment with them as long as you want.
Will the ongoing Necro Settlers event end when the Legacy of Phrecia begins?
Yes.
We hope you’ll have fun in the Legacy of Phrecia. Can’t wait to see the builds you make!
