Blueprints are used to perform Grand Heists. They work like Contracts, but additional details can be revealed to open up new wings and reward rooms. They contain rewards pertaining to experimented items.
A Blueprint can be taken to the following NPCs to inspect its layout. Initially, only one wing is revealed and some of the reward rooms and escape points will be locked. You can use one Blueprint Reveal and a payment of Rogue’s Markers to reveal details of it.
NPC | Reveal Price | Gain more Blueprint Reveal chances |
---|---|---|
Whakano, the Barber | no discount | Complete more Contracts(Upon completing a Contract, you will gain one Blueprint Reveal. ) |
Niles, the Interrogator | 10% discount | Complete more Contracts with Niles |
Gianna, Master of Disguise | 20% to 40% discount | Complete more Contracts with Gianna |
A revealed Blueprint will indicate which rewards are available from Curio Displays(Grand Heist reward rooms) but you won’t be able to tell what rewards are in chests, lockers and side-rooms along the way. Any unrevealed wings or rooms will not spawn when performing the Grand Heist.
You can reveal a single room or multiple rooms at the cost of Marker currency items. By doing it, You can find what items are in the room. Then, you can decide whether it worth looting.
You can reveal a Wing or the entire Wing at the cost of Marker currency items. Normally, it contains an escape route and other valuable items details.
You can completely skip revealing anything on the Blueprint and jump right to locking in which NPCs you’ll take, but you’ll miss out on a lot of the value of the Blueprint in doing so. You can unlock as much as you want or can afford. The more you unlock, the more you’ll reap from your Grand Heist.
This guide will show you how to perform a Grand Heist Blueprint.
Step | Image | Mechanic |
---|---|---|
1 | Enter the Planning Room within The Rogue Harbour and select the Planning Table. | |
2 | Deposit your Grand Heist Blueprint into the slot. | |
3 | The blueprint will be displayed. | |
4 | If all the wings and rooms are not unlocked in the blueprint, you can talk to Whakano to unlock them, at the price of Rogue's Markers.
Preferably use Gianna or Niles within Whakano's interface to unlock wings as they provide a discounted rate and therefore use less Rogue's Markers. |
|
5 | Back at the Planning Table, you must then select the rogue that will perform the jobs on each wing.
Only rogues that have a sufficient level in the applicable job can be hired. All the jobs must be filled in, otherwise the blueprint cannot be run. |
|
6 | Confirm the blueprint to add the red stamp onto it. It shows on the Blueprint inventory icon as well. | |
7 | Talk to Adiyah outside the planning room to start the Grand Heist. Enter the portal. | |
8 | You will enter into the extraction area, which contains the entrances to all the wings.
In this example blueprint, we have 4 wings unlocked, therefore 4 entrances are displayed, as shown in the map image on the left. |
|
9 | We will enter the wing that looks this this on the blueprint.
As you can see it has many currency rewards rooms , a Delirium rewards room and a Metamorph rewards room |
|
10 | You must enter the wing using its entrance, displayed with on your minimap. | |
11 | Run around looting the chests. Ensure that the alert meter does not reach its limit.
You can kill any number of guards, it will not affect the alert level. |
|
12 | Use your rogue's abilities to unlock the doors and obstacles blocking you.
In this example, a trap blocks us, therefore we use Vinderi's Trap Disarmament ability to unlock the door. |
|
13 | This room contains 2 large chests filled with Metamorph items, as the minimap icon shows.
The chests require Demolition, as the icon indicates. |
|
14 | We use Vinderi's Demolition ability to open the chests, and the items are dropped.
You must then kill the guards as they spawn before looting. |
|
15 | Run to the Curio Display room displayed with on your minimap.
In this example Blueprint, we have an escape hatch very close to the Curio Display room, displayed with on the minimap, as shown. |
|
16 | The Curio Display room contains a selection of 5 different items within the same category.
You can select any one, by breaking its case and stealing it. |
|
17 | After stealing the target item, the wing goes into "lockdown" mode.
You must fight your way out to the nearest escape hatch . |
|
18 | If you use the escape ladder, you will be transported to a small zone that contains Adiyah's portal to return to the Rogue Harbour, as shown.
Stash your looted items and return into Adiyah's portal and loot the next wing, until all the wings are looted. |
2.11 Reveal Blueprint Details(Optional)
Blueprints can be taken to Whakano, the Barber, Niles, the Interrogator, or Gianna, Master of Disguise to inspect its layout.
2.12 Assign your Rogues
Blueprints can then be taken to the Planning Table to assign your Rogues to it. Each wing requires three Rogues with the qualifying skills to be assigned to it. Assigning additional Rogues will increase the fee required to perform the Heist. You can then confirm the plans to lock in your plans. Once you confirm the Blueprint, you cannot reveal additional details or change your Rogue assignments. You can still modify the Blueprint’s affixes after you’ve confirmed the plans, however.
2.13 Prepare Grand Heist
Take a Blueprint to Adiyah, the Wayfinder.
2.14 Complete a Blueprint
The target item, inside a Curio Display, will be a selection of Blueprint rewards: Experimented base types, Replica unique items, weapons or body armour with an enchantment, Thief's Trinkets or currency (listed in the item description) instead of an item that can be sold for Rogue's Markers. You can only take one before Lockdown begins.
This Heist challenge needs a lot of currency items. The following NPCs offer reveal service:
You can have 3 different Rogues in both wings. Or, you can get a blueprint which requires 6 different abilities, then choose at least six Rogues. You can search these blueprint at PathofExile Trade
You’ll have access to one Contract per area on average but the amount you get is affected by standard drop multipliers. You can get many per area in well-rolled maps. You’ll access a Blueprint for a Grand Heist approximately once per act or around every 12 maps. It’s a similar level of content access to Incursions and The Temple of Atzoatl, except you can wait and run them when you feel like it without losing progress.
Grand Heists offer exclusive new rewards such as Weapon and Body Armour Enchantments, Heist Trinkets, Alternate-quality Gems and Replica Unique Items.
What rewards you’ll get before you run a Grand Heist? A revealed Blueprint will indicate which rewards are available from Curio Displays but you won’t be able to tell what rewards are in chests, lockers and side-rooms along the way.
One of the exclusive rewards you’ll be able to steal from Grand Heists are Trinkets, which go in their own new equipment slot. These magical items influence what rewards you’ll find from future Heists you run. Some of their modifiers affect the items dropped by enemies and chests, while others modify the rewards you could obtain from a Heist’s special reward chests.
Alternate Quality Gems come from Grand Heist reward rooms and provide even more depth for existing Skill and Support Gems. Each existing Path of Exile gem has up to three Alternate Quality versions which grant different quality bonuses than the original gems. Some simply increase the power of the gem while others entirely change which builds most benefit from the gem.
Other rewards you can claim from Grand Heists are Replica Unique Items. Replica Unique items result from attempts to re-create unique items of legend, where the end product has a few crucial differences. They’re often appropriate for entirely different character builds than the original item.
Experimented Base Types are a variety of new item base types that have exotic properties that differ from their core-game counterparts.
The final type of new reward available from Grand Heists is a selection of Weapon and Body Armour enchantments. These enchantments come on unnaturally-powerful rare items and affect the magnitude of modifiers on those items. Some of these enchantments are so powerful that they involve substantial drawbacks.
