Path of Exile 3.30: Covens of Umbra introduces major changes to the Incursion mechanic, including a new Temple boss, more challenging encounters, and valuable rewards.
1. Atziri Replaces the Vaal Omnitect
One of the biggest Incursion changes in PoE 3.30 is that Atziri has taken over the Temple of Atzoatl, replacing the Vaal Omnitect.
This change gives the Temple a new boss encounter and makes Incursion more interesting for endgame players.
2. Uber Temple of Atzoatl: Higher Difficulty and Better Rewards
Players can now challenge the Uber Temple of Atzoatl, which significantly increases the difficulty and rewards of all Temple rooms.
The upgraded Temple offers:
- More challenging encounters throughout the Temple.
- Greater rewards from Temple rooms.
- New opportunities for high-value loot.
- A chance to obtain a Soul Core from Atziri.
For experienced players, the Uber Temple creates another rewarding endgame farming opportunity.
3. New Soul Core of Might
One of the exciting new rewards is Soul Core of Might.
Item Effect:
- Corrupts a Level 20 Skill Gem.
- Adds a random Strength Support effect.
- The added Support effect is always valid for the selected Skill Gem.
- The corrupted gem cannot be modified again.
This item provides another way to improve skill gems and potentially create powerful combinations.
However, because the Support effect is random and the resulting gem cannot be modified again, players should carefully choose which Level 20 Skill Gem to corrupt.
4. Royal Visage: New Incursion Map Currency
Another new item is Royal Visage.
Item Effect:
- Enchants a Map to contain Alluring Temporal Incursions.
- Can be applied to a Tier 16 non-Unique Map.
- Maximum stack size: 10.
Royal Visage allows players to target enhanced Incursion content, making it potentially valuable for players focusing on Temple farming.
5. Are the PoE 3.30 Incursion Changes Worth Farming?
The Incursion rework makes the Temple of Atzoatl more attractive for endgame farming.
The combination of harder Temple rooms, improved rewards, Atziri encounters, and new Soul Cores creates additional reasons to invest in Incursion.
Overall, PoE 3.30 transforms Incursion from an older league mechanic into a more rewarding endgame activity. Players interested in high-risk farming and powerful gem upgrades should consider exploring the new Uber Temple of Atzoatl.
