PoE Pillage and Plunder: Syndicate Members Obtain an additional Equipment Item

The Atlas Passive "Pillage and Plunder" in Path of Exile: Necropolis League introduces a mechanic that alters the drops you receive from defeating members of the Syndicate. Here's a breakdown of its effect:

Increased Equipment on Syndicate Members:

  • Bonus Items: When this Atlas Passive is allocated, Syndicate members appearing in your maps will have an additional piece of equipment compared to normal. This means they will drop more equipment upon defeat.

Increased Item Rarity:

  • Rarity Boost per Item: For each additional equipment item a Syndicate member has, the overall rarity of the items they drop upon defeat is increased by 20%. This means you have a higher chance of acquiring rarer items from them.

Example:

  • Consider a scenario where a Syndicate member normally drops two uncommon items and one rare item.
  • With Pillage and Plunder active, they would gain an additional equipment item.
  • This translates to a 20% increased rarity bonus for all three items they drop (2 uncmmons + 1 rare).

Strategic Considerations:

  • Targeted Farming: This passive can be useful if you're interested in farming specific Syndicate members for their potential item drops, especially currency, crafting materials, or unique items. The increased rarity and quantity of dropped equipment can improve your overall loot acquisition.
  • Prioritizing Encounters: If you're actively engaging with the Syndicate mechanics (interrogations, executions, etc.), this passive incentivizes focusing on defeating Syndicate members for potentially better rewards.
  • Alternative Approach: If Syndicate encounters are not a major focus for you, you can avoid this passive and allocate points elsewhere on the Atlas tree.

Overall, Pillage and Plunder in Path of Exile: Necropolis League is a valuable Atlas Passive for players who want to get better rewards from Syndicate encounters. It grants Syndicate members additional equipment and increases the rarity of items they drop, but keep in mind it requires actively engaging with the Syndicate mechanics.
