The next minor update to Path of Exile 3.6 is about to drop, so Grinding Gear Games has deployed the tentative patch notes for the next update to the ARPG. Most of the new updates come in the form of bug fixes, both to league mechanics and a bunch of general tweaks for other issues. There’s some fixes for graphical issues, some stability improvements, and some adjustments to crafting issues.
If you want to see some more POE news, GGG has plenty to offer. For one thing, the developer recently moved all of the recently introduced microtransactions from the Fairgraves Mystery Box to the MTX store, putting a total of three new armor sets to purchase. GGG also recently ran a sale on various cosmetic items for players to get cool wings and other attachments at a discount.
Grinding Gear Games has been doing a great job with Path of Exile 3.6 and Synthesis League. The game just launched on the PS4, and the developer headed to reddit to do an AMA on that very topic, answering fan questions. They also recently released the 3.6.3 patch to the game, which radically change the way Synthesis League mechanics worked. The company has also announced new MTXs that the fans will love, and some changes to ongoing community spotlight video series’.
Path of Exile is out now on PS4, Xbox One and PC, and is entirely free-to-play.

- Fixed a bug where Memory Stabilisers in a decaying Memory would pull items to them when a player was in close proximity, rather than solely when activated. This now only occurs in non-decaying Memories.
- Fixed a bug where returning to your Memory Nexus from the Memory Void could incorrectly assign ownership of that area to another player if your Memory Nexus had previously closed.

- Fixed a bug where some crafted modifiers could not be replaced with another crafted modifier (by paying one scouring in additional to the crafting cost).
- Fixed a bug where, under certain conditions, the unique helmet Ahn’s Contempt would trigger its “while at maximum Power Charges” modifier while you weren’t at maximum Power Charges, and wouldn’t when you were.
- Fixed a bug where the “Life and Mana Leech are instant during effect” modifier found on Legacy Vessel of Vinktar Unique flasks caused Energy Shield Leech to be instant.
