Path of Exile 2 and Path of Exile: Affliction Recently Asked Questions

You mention Maven being Eldritch, are all bosses Eldritch in nature or are there others?
Not all bosses are Eldritch.

Is the Ravenous buff lost when I change zones? Does the buff persist after I die?
The buff does not persist between areas or through death. The intention is for you to pick a monster type based on the zone you're in, whether that map primarily consists of a particular monster type. Purchasable corpses can be used in cases where you need the bonus for a particular reason, such as fighting a boss.

Are Charms, Tinctures and Corpses sold by the new NPCs tradable?
Yes.

How does the new Ralakesh's Impatience work exactly?
For most purposes, it's the same as actually having maximum charges. You'll gain the inherent stats granted by charges, anything that gives you stats per charge will behave as if you had maximum charges, and so forth. This just removes the abuse cases involving unequipping the boots and then spending the charges (though the bonuses are also no longer tied to being stationary).

How do you earn Wildwood Ascendancy Points?
Your first 2 Wildwood Ascendancy Points are acquired when you first meet the associated NPC and choose their specialisation. The next 4 points come from 2 quests from each NPC. The final 2 points come from defeating the King in the Mists, which will unlock the final 2 points for all three Wildwood Ascendancies. If you do this quest in advance (e.g. through Multiplayer), it will count towards the points even if you aren't on that stage of the quest.

Where are the Gems?
Something came up today that prevented us from getting both the first batch of Transfigured Gems and the regular 20/20 Gems today. We apologise for the delay and are keen to release them as soon as possible! To hold you over, here's another Transfigured Gem teaser.

Update: The 20/20 Gems can be found here, and the first batch of Transfigured Gems can be found here!

Have the Combat Focus jewels been removed? I didn't see anything about them in the patch notes.
No, they're still available from vendor recipes.

How much damage does Raise Zombie of Falling's impact attack deal? Does my zombie limit matter?
It deals 2.5x the damage of a regular zombie melee attack. Your zombie limit doesn't matter unless that limit is zero, since that prevents you from summoning zombies.

Are Transfigured skills compatible with microtransactions?
Yes, as long as the base gem has a compatible microtransaction, it should work with the Transfigured version of the skill.

What happens if the target dies while Penance Brand is attached, such as if the target dies to a proliferated ignite before the brand reaches max energy?
Nothing will happen if the target dies before reaching 20 energy. The brand would detach and deal no damage. The energy is stored on the target and not the brand, so if the brand re-attaches it will have to start from scratch again.
