Patch 3.19.1b for Path of Exile is here. Although it is a small update, it does bring notable changes and bug fixes.
Flasks in Path of Exile are important because they not only restore mana and HP but also provide utility like increased movement speed and immunity to certain status effects. That said, flasks now have fractured mods in Patch 3.19.1b.
For those who don’t know, an item with a fractured mod has a permanent affix denoted by golden text. These mods cannot be removed by items, such as Orb of Scouring or Orb of Annulment.
With these mods, players can potentially craft some really powerful flasks that can help them take on tougher enemies, especially those with a deadly combination of Archnemesis modifiers.
Patch 3.19.1b also brought some needed bug fixes. For instance, a bug causing Sap from Sapped Ground to increase damage instead of reducing it has been fixed.
Changelog
- Flasks can now have Fractured modifiers, which can be obtained through the Empowered Elements conversion modifier.
- The Archnemesis Trickster modifier can no longer appear on Essence or Legion monsters (an earlier fix done for Essence monsters regressed).
- The "A Trip Down Memory Lane Challenge" no longer requires you to complete Atlas Memories that do not exist, and the number of completed Atlas Memories required has been reduced to four. Using the /recheck_achievements command will complete this challenge if you have already completed four or five Atlas Memories.
- Added the "Hide Map Overlay Mods" option (Options > UI) for hiding the display of area modifiers when having the map overlay open.
- Fixed a bug where the Fiendish Opulence Atlas Passive Skill was not applying to Beyond Demons.
- Fixed a bug where Sap from Sapped Ground had the opposite effect and was increasing damage from monsters.
- Fixed a bug when using the Controller Input Method where the map overlay displayed above notifications.
- Added display in Control Input Method for how much Lifeforce of each type you have available at the Horticrafting Station.
- The Undertaker's Amulet microtransaction now also creates gravestones for enemies slain by your minions, traps, and totems.
- Fixed an instance crash.
So, what can you say about the recent update?
Path of Exile Patch 3.19.1b is available on PC.
