Endgame Guides Sunset
It is unfortunate that we must announce the discontinuation of the endgame build guide section on the Maxroll Path of Exile branch. Our learnings have shown that players are seeking solid league starters that remain viable in the endgame. As a result, we have taken steps to enhance the endgame sections of our league starter guides, ensuring they provide even more comprehensive support for players progressing through the game's most challenging content
New League Starters
Picking a build can be one of the hardest parts of a new league in Path of Exile, it's often overwhelming, so our guides walk you through the leveling process and gearing using Milestones! For Settlers of Kalguur, we've updated our existing League Starters and added several new options, including some of the hot new meta league start builds!
Chaos Minion Army Necromancer
The is one of the strongest minion builds around.
With its multiple defensive layers, high life recovery and strong defenses from an early stage of the game, very few other minion builds can compete with defensively.
Even with all these defensive layers it still packs a large punch with high chaos damage and poison damage that you scale all the way into the end game.
When you want to control an army of minions this is the build for you.
Ice Shot of Penetration Deadeye
The Ice Shot of Penetration Miner Deadeye League Starter makes use of the recently added Ice Shot of Penetration skill to add massive screen clear and single target overlaps with the Fury Valve amulet.
This build was designed to start a fresh league with, meaning it can start from having no currency and clear most if not all the content. It is a great mapper with enough damage to take down all of the end game bosses. If you want a build that clears the whole screen and can burst down bosses, stick around for the rest of the guide!
Lacerate Gladiator
Are you looking for a very tanky build that deals enough damage to defeat any boss and clears maps using one of the most fun mechanics in the game: Bleed Explosions? Then Lacerate Gladiator is perfect for you!
In maps you just Shield Charge around and attack monsters to make them explode. And while bossing you apply a strong bleed and dodge when you need to, with no worries about damage uptime.
The low starting budget of this build makes it perfect for league starting either in a trade league or SSF. The tankyness makes it one of the best builds for Hardcore as well.
Lightning Strike Deadeye
The Lightning Strike of Arcing Deadeye is a league start viable all around build, capable of going from the the Campaign all the way to beating the pinnacle endgame bosses and taking on the most difficult maps the Atlas of Worlds has to offer.
The build excels at clearing fast and killing tough enemies thanks to the Deadeye Ascendancy which provides great damage and speed making this one of the fastest and most well rounded mapping builds in the game.
Currency Guides & Resources
There are far-reaching changes to both Crafting and Currency as part of the Settlers of Kalguur League. From using Kingsmarch for runecrafting and recombination to new Scarabs and atlas strategies.

- Currency Exchange Market Guide
- Settlers of Kalguur / Kingsmarch Guide
Remember to use the Pin Post feature on your favorite guides to be notified when a new update rolls in!
PoExchange
Since the start of the PoExchange, C3ntrax has been hard at work fixing bugs, pushing updates and adding new features. He has put an immense amount of time and effort into improving the tool ahead of the 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur update so here are some highlights of recently added features and things to look forward to. In short, the whole design of the app has been reworked!
New Features
Category Support
- Reworked the entire map category to add new very exciting subcategories.
- These categories are 8 Mod Maps, Normal Maps, Blighted & Blight-Ravaged Maps, Conqueror Maps, Elder Maps, Shaper Maps, T17 Maps and Unique Maps!
- For normal maps T1-T16 with a distinction according to "Unmodifiable (UM)" which means Mirrored/Corrupted.
- Corrupted/Mirrored Blighted & Blight-Revaged Map can't be listed.
- Added Inscribed Ultimatums.
- Added Alva temples.
Regex Support
8 Mod & Normal Map Custom Groups
Stash View
Notification Expansion
Table Updates
Misc
Services
The biggest upcoming feature is the addition of Services to PoExchange, so let's take a minute to look more closely at how this works. The services work by logging vouches from unique users to make for the fairest system possible. This is to avoid one person repeatedly buying a service from their friend to inflate vouch numbers and make the account appear trustworthy. C3ntrax plans for the services section to go live on Friday with the new League.
As a Buyer
- Filter the table by selecting a service category.
- Whisper the seller in-game to buy the service.
- Alternatively, you can join a global room to get invited if a seller is interested and ready to sell the service to you.
As a Seller
- Select the services you want to sell and set the price for the service.
- Define different prices for boss killing for your map or the buyer's map.
- Let the buyer whisper you or use this tool to manage and invite buyers.
More Updates Soon
You can stay up to date with everything being added to PoExchange using the Dev Updates channel in the PoExchange discord!
Stay Up to Date
That's everything we know so far about Path of Exile's 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur League, we hope you enjoy the new & updated league starter guides, but the work is only just beginning.
