  • End date: 3pm April 4th PDT

This event is available on PC and Console, four weeks.

PoE Gold

Ruthless with Gold is a four-week, trade-enabled, non-hardcore event that is both an opportunity to experience what Path of Exile would have been like with gold, while also letting you try out a slightly easier version of Ruthless. Players who have been keen to give Ruthless a shot but haven’t wanted to do that at a major league start can use this event as a chance to try it out.

In the Ruthless with Gold event, because you get gold rather than Alchemy/Transmutation shards from selling items, GGG increased the chance of finding magic and rare maps by a lot. If you can reach the endgame, of course.


Ruthless with Gold Rules

In Ruthless with Gold,

  • Monsters and chests drop Gold Coins, which can be used to buy items from vendors.
  • All vendor prices throughout the game have been replaced by prices in Gold Coins.
  • When you sell items to vendors, you receive Gold Coins rather than currency shards. Other Ruthless vendor recipes are unmodified.
  • There may also be a few other uses for gold that we’ll describe closer to the event’s launch.
  • Due to how many Gold Coins you find, they auto-pickup as you approach them.
  • Gold Coins are itemised like Perandus Coins, and stack up to 5000 per inventory/stash space (50k in Currency Stash Wildcard Spaces).
  • In a party, Gold Coins you pick up are shared between nearby party members.
  • You can still find currency items, at regular Ruthless drop rates (i.e. not often). Gold Coins are dropped in addition to regular currency, meaning that in Ruthless with Gold, there is somewhat less item scarcity than full Ruthless.
  • Sanctum is not enabled.
  • Otherwise, base Ruthless rules apply
  • The Ruthless event is voided.

PoE Ruthless With Gold

The Ruthless with Gold event is a variation of the base Ruthless mode but now with Gold Coins that can also drop from Monsters and chests. These can be used to buy and sell items for at vendors. Gold Coins are dropped in addition to regular currency, meaning that in Ruthless with Gold, there is somewhat less item scarcity than full Ruthless.

FAQs

Are there special items to buy from the vendors in Ruthless with Gold?

In addition to regular items, an NPC in each town now offers items you can gamble for, using gold (similar to Gwennen).

Is the Ruthless event voided?

Yes.

Why are these events so niche?

We wanted to try some new things. Historically our events have been focused on having the most broad appeal while also being achievable alongside our development schedule. Getting to experiment with new options means trying a few things that aren't necessarily for everyone but will give us good information for designing events in the future. At the very least, we're hoping that these events will be fun to watch even if some players feel it's not conducive to their personal playstyle.

Why are there no Endless-style events this time?

We have run the two existing endless events (Heist and Delve) a few times already and they'd need a bit of sprucing up to be exciting to do again. Endless Sanctum is potentially a cool idea for the future but not something we want to run alongside the actual Sanctum league.

Does this confirm that the next league will start on the 7th of April (PDT)?

Yes.
