The Settlers Challenge League
- Challenge leagues are a great opportunity for a fresh start in a new economy. All of your old characters and items are still present in the Standard and Hardcore leagues, but you're encouraged to join the new leagues, complete challenges and demonstrate your mastery of Path of Exile!
- In the Settlers Challenge League, help Kalguuran pioneers to build the town of Kingsmarch and establish trade between Wraeclast and their homeland.
- Dannig, Rog, Tujen and Gwennen are seeking out resources in Wraeclast that can be used to begin town construction and establish a shipping trade route to Kalguur. Hire skilled workers to aid you in mining, smelting, disenchanting, farming and other jobs needed in Kingsmarch.
- Build a Harbour and establish a shipping route between a number of Kalguuran and Karui ports for trade. Pile your acquired resources onto these ships and send them to a port of your choosing, where your traders will haggle for the best deals! Each Port will return specific rewards based on what you send them.
- The Kalguurans have hired Isla, who can help you build a series of Kalguuran-modified Map Devices at endgame. Hire a few skilled combatants, and put them to work running Maps you queue into this Map Device.
- As your town grows, it will attract more attention, good and bad. Settlers of Kalguur features three endgame bosses that will close in on your operations, wanting a piece of the pie. They might capture and ransom your workers, even your entire ships. You’ll have to make some tough decisions - will you take them on, or pay them off?
- For more information about this expansion, check out pathofexile.com/settlers
- With 3.25.0, there are Standard, Hardcore, Solo Self-Found and Ruthless variations of the Settlers challenge league available. They have the same core mechanics and items. You can create private league versions of these leagues, with mods that make the game harder.
