- Videos: You could make a short film about a player’s journey through the Wildwood, a musical piece inspired by the league’s lore, or a time-lapse video of yourself creating Affliction-themed artwork.
- Cosplay: You could dress up as a character from the Affliction league, such as the Blightbearer or the Wildwood Hermit, or create a unique costume inspired by the league’s themes.
- Baking: You could bake cookies shaped like Wisps, cupcakes decorated with the symbols of the Wildwood, or a cake depicting a scene from the Affliction storyline.
- Crafts: You could make a set of dice engraved with symbols from the Affliction league, a knitted scarf with a Viridian Wildwood pattern, or a custom phone case decorated with Path of Exile imagery.
