Unveiling Path of Exile: Affliction - A Journey into the Viridian Wildwood

Path of Exile, the beloved ARPG by Grinding Gear Games, continues its tradition of expansion and innovation with the highly anticipated release of Path of Exile: Affliction. Scheduled to launch on December 8, 2023, this expansion promises to deepen the game's immersive experience and provide players with exciting new challenges and opportunities. As we eagerly await the arrival of Affliction, let's delve into everything we know about this captivating expansion.

Exploring the Viridian Wildwood
At the heart of the Affliction expansion lies the mysterious Viridian Wildwood, a dark and sprawling forest shrouded in secrets and danger. As players venture into this enigmatic wilderness, they will encounter strange holes in the ground, beckoning them into uncharted territory. Each step taken within the Viridian Wildwood unveils new mysteries and challenges, with Wisps guiding players towards hidden treasures, formidable boss encounters, and the central characters of the  expansion.

Introducing New Ascendancy Classes
A highlight of the Affliction expansion is the introduction of new Ascendancy classes, offering players additional avenues for character progression and customization. Ascendancy classes, a staple feature of Path of Exile, provide players with specialized sub-classes that augment their character's abilities and playstyle. With Affliction, players can delve deeper into the realm of Ascendancy, unlocking three new Ascendancy skill trees tailored to the challenges of the Viridian Wildwood.

The Quest for Ascendancy
To access the new Ascendancy classes, players must embark on a quest within the Viridian Wildwood, interacting with three unique NPCs: the Warden of the Maji, the Warlock of the Mists, and the Wildwood Primalist. Each NPC presents players with a series of quests to complete, unlocking access to their respective Ascendancy class upon successful completion. This innovative approach adds depth and variety to character progression, allowing players to tailor their builds to suit their preferred playstyle.

At the beginning
Begin by building up your collection. Don't make use of your orbs for anything yet. Make sure you know your building and the way you'd like to play it first. Be concerned about your equipment and gems when you've completed the design. You can use your orbs at that point.

Crafting
At the time of the game's end, the players begin to build the equipment they want to use. If you'd like to join in then you'll require the following:

Orbs of Transmutation

Orbs of Chance

Orbs of Alchemy

Chaos Orbs

Orbs of Alteration

Regal Orbs

Exalted Orbs

Eternal Orbs

Orbs of Scouring

Divine Orbs

Blessed Orbs

An inventory of Chromatic Orbs would also be useful if you wish to alter the   color of the gem sockets on the item. In any case, we're not going to get too far into crafting, as it's a complex process that requires a guide. If you go through the process, you'll discover that you'll require a lot of the above-mentioned orbs. Begin stocking up before the deadline, so that you don't need to use up all your resources before you begin making.
