[Sponsored] A Few Good Reasons Why We Should Be Excited for Path of Exile - Scourge

[DC]

The new Scourge expansion for Path of Exile is finally coming out this October 22 (27 for consoles) and excitement in the community is ramping up again.

Scourge brings new story elements in the game and what we find most exciting about this expansion is the random nature of the Blood Crucible. You can "scourge" your items by killing enemies and when enough has been slain, the item transforms to a special one. We especially liked the fact that if you don't like the new stats, you can "scourge" it further and repeat the process for a possible 2nd or 3rd randomization—a fantastic addition to the PoE trade system. Along with the Dream Furnace which provides buffs and debuffs to a map experience, the replay value is just through the roof.

We're excited how this will affect the overall PoE currency value with regards to the general economy of the game. The Uber Endgame content they're also adding will make things more difficult but on the bright side, this means the expansion will take up a good chunk of our time since we'll need to strategize and possibly fail many times before we are able to finally take down these dungeons to a tee.

If I'm understanding this correctly, the Scourge system is a free update to the existing free-to-play game. The in game purchases I think are mostly sold from the in game shop, but the Epic Games Store listing shows some of what's available externally. Why this is different to the Steam version and, as far as I can tell, the console versions, I don't know. Maybe those are packs exclusive to the EGS version? Either way, all I can suggest is download the game and see what's on the game's store.
