Banned Skills

Similar to the last Gauntlet, this Gauntlet event will have “Banned Skill Gems”.

The use of any of these skills on any character will forfeit your right to claim any part of the prize pool including bounties, flash bounties and the main prize pool. Do not equip the skill gems!
Players that do not wish to compete for the prize pool can play any skill they want. You will still be eligible for raffles.

Portal Limitation Rule

In order to receive Boss Kill Points you must only USE THREE OR LESS PORTALS in order to receive them. Entering a fourth portal will make your submission null. Uber bosses have this tech by default, the rest will be manually done.

Transfigured Gem Rule

In order to receive Boss Kill Points you must use a Transfigured Gem as your primary damage source WHILE completing Boss Kill Point objectives. You may use a regular gem at any other point in time in the game if you so wish.

      3. FAQs

      Will this event run on all platforms?

      Events are PC-only. Unfortunately, GGG is not able to run this event on console this time around as this is a new event type and if it requires any fixes GGG wouldn't be able to get those through certification over the holiday period. Once this event has taken place on PC, it's GGG's hope that PoE can get them ready for the console so this event can be run simultaneously on all platforms if GGG runs it again.

      Can I play my existing character?

      No, you'll need to make new characters in each event.

      How do I join the event?

      At the character selection screen, there's a panel below your characters which will list the events available. You can join the event by clicking 'join'. This option becomes available 30 minutes before the event is set to begin. Your character won't be able to move until the event starts.

      Can I make Private League versions of these events?

      No.

      Can I change my Ascendancy Class during these events?

      No. This is to prevent people changing classes at the last minute as a cheap way to get a Demigod's Authority.

      If I delete my character, will I still get a prize?

      No. Please do not delete your characters until after the prizes have been awarded.

      Will I still be eligible for prizes if my character dies?

      Yes.

      If I level multiple characters will I have a greater chance of winning a prize?

      Yes. Every character you level will be independently included in the pool for the prize draw at the end of the event. This excludes mystery boxes, where you will only be able to receive one per account per event.

      Can I win more than one microtransaction prize?

      Yes, it's possible to win multiple prizes. This excludes the mystery box which is awarded once per account per event. If you reach level 50 in all events, then you will receive five mystery boxes. These can be found in your microtransaction stash once awarded.

      When will I receive a prize?

      The Sanctum Mystery Box will be awarded automatically when you reach level 50 during an event. The other microtransactions will be awarded after the end of the event. You'll receive a private message on the website to notify you when this has happened. Note that outside of the Mystery Boxes, prizes are drawn randomly and are not necessarily guaranteed. GGG will post on their Twitter to confirm when the final prizes have gone out.
