Alright, after many have pointed out. What they showed in the reveal and what they showed on the pathofexile.com/affliction page were both wrong. I've gone in game to confirm when hovering over the wisp colors => 05:09 WISP COLOR CORRECTION: Primal Wisps (Blue) = More Currency | Wild Wisps (Purple) = Increased Rarity | Vivid Wisps (Yellow) = Increased Quantity
I was confused cuz I checked the site and it showed you were right but last night I noticed blue was currency, for a moment I thought I was going crazy. 😂
@@SlimyTaco yeah I double and triple checked to make sure the stuff I had before launch was accurate, but to see they not only changed it once, but to change it a third time and not document or mention it anywhere kinda sucked. I'm just glad enough people were commenting that I was able to double check cause I didn't even notice you could hover over the wisps in the Woods.
I appreciate it. Ziz does a really good PoE University but my friends don't have the attention span for it, which is how this started. I'm looking to do things like this on more core things like Damages, Defenses, etc, but I'm open to suggestions.
I often forego league mechanics early to craft/ build early currency and do little to noleague prep- sufficed to say, I find myself googling these types of videos once or twice most leagues- and I have seen my fair share of leagues. This is the best video I have ever seen with respect to expectation vs payout- the pacing, tone, pertinent info , etc - nailed it on all fronts. Keep up the good work homie 📈
Freaking awesome video!! Nicely done /sub Compete information Detailed Great visuals, images, pacing, chapters. These guides are perfect for us casuals who play once every 6 months for fun as opposed to hardcore players
Pretty good explanation other than what the wisp types do, hovering them in game shows yellow gives IIQ, blue gives currency, and purple gives IIR. Which, is not what the content reveal showed, which I find even funnier.
Yeah I'm a little irritated that they decided to change things but not reshoot the reveal, the patch notes said they swapped everything but it only looks like they swapped color but not effect.
Wat happened to old stash tabs for mechanics that’s no longer in game metamorph etc not been on since exalt change popped on 5 mins today never seen my metamorth tab
If you bought the Metamorph Tab it's been changed to the Ultimatum Tab. It'll hold Catalysts still but instead of holding Metamorph Parts it holds Inscribed Ultimatums.
First you gotta find her, follow the trail of Blue Wisps. Finding her will get you the first 2 points. Then she'll give you a quest to kill 500 Nameless Creatures. It's the light blue mobs that spawn on the trail of blue wisps. The third set of points is for killing the Black Morrigan which looks like a big crow. The last is for killing the King in the Mists in a T14+ Map. The hardest part is getting the good RNG and running into these things.
That's a weird one, none of us got that bug. If it didn't fix from relogging, you could try to unspec the nodes if you have the regrets/refund points or make sure you don't have anything else causing negative speed. But it should work so long as you have boots on with no skill or support gems in them.
After running this mechanic all day it really feels like GGG flipped the yellow and blue juice. Blue juice really feels like currency and that's what I've been going for. I'm in act 8 with 2 ex and 15 raw chaos drops
That could be. In the Announcement they had them flipped but in the patch notes mentioned that they'd changed them. So who knows if it actually made it to the coding change.
This is from the League Reveal video. But the armour looks like it's the Mercurial Armour Set www.pathofexile.com/shop/item/MercurialArmourPack and the Weapon is the Colossus Machete. www.pathofexile.com/shop/item/ColossusMachete
This video is from what they showed off and talked about prelaunch release. I ran into him on my first day and he gave a Tabula Rasa, it was amazing! Haven't been able to find him since.

Is there only one warden per wildwood instance? If I want the warlock should I follow the purple wisps? Sometime there are no purple wisps...are all colors of wisps in each wildwood?
So everything we've found out is you won't run into them until Act 2, around a level 20 zone. You can run into all 3 of the Wanderer's and it seems completely random but if you're targeting the purple guy you'll have better odds if you follow the purple trail, but do keep in mind the trails will change colors as you go follow them. I wish I had a better more definite answer for you but it is random.
I don’t play much PoE admittedly, but at what level should I be doing this content? I am about level 15 or a little bit higher on my current character. I breeze through the normal content so far with no trouble. I enter these areas and get killed in about 2 seconds by the bosses I run into. Is this normal? Should I not bother at such low levels?
Well you don't get the Wanderer's until Act 2, but the monsters in there are tuned up a bit so you could wait until maps, or just go in lower level zones to try to find the Wanderer's to get your Wildwood Ascendancy started.
the Affliction stuff they announced is part of a temporary league. They drop these leagues every 3-4 months. When the league is over characters move over to the Standard league. So if you wanted to play with the mechanic you don't go Standard. People also like to play the new league stuff because the trade economy is reset. So there isn't a good or bad choice, especially when you're a new player and learning.
You are correct, the video from the reveal had one version, the pathofexile.com/affliction had another version, and then the league released with a whole other variation.
I haven't noticed an indicator, but it does seem like as you progress through the acts you get more and more distance you can travel. By Act 5 I was had one travel down there that I managed to run into 2 different Azmiri Wanderers
You'll find them mostly along the Blue Wisp Trails. The Nameless Monsters are like the Big Bear and Drop Bear looking monsters but they glow blue. I'm not sure if they patched it but you used to be able to bring in Desecrate and spam it. When the Desecrate brought up one of the Nameless corpses it'd count.
Blue is Currency. This video was released before the league came out and based off the information that GGG had provided and they changed it without posting it in the Patch Notes. I pinned a comment with the correction. Sorry for the confusion.
Knowing GGG I'd say it's safe to assume it does but I haven't tested it. I'd say the Penance Mark would if it can be scaled with Mark Effect but I'm not sure about the other 2.
I randomly stumbled on mine in Act 2 and was able to find them on and off. Really gotta figure out which one you're going for and just pray the trail of wisps you're following takes you to the person. If you're too fast you won't notice them sitting next to a campfire, kinda wish they did some type of marker to make it so you could notice them or backtrack to them better.
The Primal Huntress is found following the Blue Wisps and you get more of the Blue Primal Wisps when you spec into Wildwood Primalist. In the Patch Notes they mentioned that the Announcement footage had Primal as Yellow and Vivid as Blue and that they've swapped them, but people are reporting that the Blue ones seem to be dropping more currency so maybe they forgot to change things on the coding side but changed it visually.
This is from the footage of the League Reveal. This video is on my gathering of the information before the league launched. I don't play melee but it looks like it's Reave or Lacerate but the icons aren't matching either of those. I wish I knew for sure cause you're not the first to ask.
that is the most absolute bummer. my alternate characters I waited until the middle of Act 2 and would just keep resetting a zone until I eventually found them so 50 is probably possible. I do wish they popped up on the minimap from farther away or something at least to get you to them the first time.
to be fair this is mostly based on the footage they've shown, the F&Q, the teasers, the forums, etc. Most content creators wait and spend a couple days figuring it out to give a whole comprehensive guide but I just wanted to make something to send buddies who work full time and didn't want to watch 30 minutes to an hour of stuff. But thank you for the compliment.
its a good quick summary of the league mechanics which is very welcome. however i know you bleeped the cursing part but i think that cursing is totally unnecessary if you want to attract a larger range of audience even if you bleep it.
I appreciate the info. Also why this guy sounds depressed & nasal. I was forced to watch something funny and happy after watching this video. because the guy sounds really down and out and depressed. 🤷♀ anyways thanks for the league info. 🤓👍
I honestly hate this mechanic. Cant see anything, half the wildwoods are empty (feels like d4), and it seems to refuse to give you the NPC you are looking for. Only reason Im even touching it is because its required to get the new ascendencies. I cant ever see myself making more than 2 characters this league purely because of this garbage
I'll admin the RNG process of finding the Wanderers and competing their quests is kind of a pain in the ass, but mine have been completed just trying to vacuum up all those wisps. But with it being RNG there's always going to be someone that just get's the low roll everytime and that does feel bad.
Play _Diablo 2_ or _Grim Dawn_ Diablo 4 itemization is utter garbage. Hell, even _Diablo Immortal_ is a far better game (if you ignore all the bullshit P2W)
I like POE because of the diverse league mechanics. Its overwhelming, but you dint have to engage with all if it. Ive played for around 300 hrs and still feel like I dont even get half of it, but its still fun. Also agree that Last Epoch is incredible. though waiting for 1.0 release at this point isnt a bad idea.
I want to love poe but you really do need several years of experience to learn how to price rare items, like getting a bachelors degree is infinitely easier to obtain.

Finally somebody who can explain it the right way!!! You are the man!! Thanks a lot!
Yeah love the no-nonsense summary, with the core changes. Would love for you to do this every league! Subbed.
Freaking awesome video!! Nicely done /sub
Compete information

Thanks! I love simple to understand leagues like this.
Thanks for keepin it short, i saw 2 other 15min videos and there say like nothing really i want to know about it, THANKS!
This was a great rundown, thanks!
Really enjoyed his video! please do more they are informative and engaging!
Great recap. Can't play until tomorrow and this looks very fun. Thanks.
The best starter FAQ! thank you
Great video. Thanks man. Subbed.
Exactly the video i needed, subbed
Mic audio scuffed as hell on this one. Eventually I'll get the right EQ prior to recording.
Appreciate the straightforward approach! That's a sub from me dawg
This was helpful, I'm thinking of jumping into the season but I'm a little scared... so thank you!
Great overview and very clearly communicated! Subbed :)
Short and sweet, thank you. No content creators in PoE can do this. They keep talking lol
Thanks!!! Subscribed.
Awesome right to the point you got my sub also well said too
Thisis such a good long story short guide I love it plz update us with more league content ty
Thank you bb 😊 now i know more than before ❤
Thank you.

Great video about the league mechanic, they're hard to find for some reason.
short sweet and to the point you have earned yourself a f****** sub XD
Thank you !
Think I'll go with the scion like ascendancy. Thnx for the info was a big help
You can do the mechanics in the zone repeatedly by right clicking the zone map to new
I ended up doing that at the Crystal Veins trying to push for my Charm slot unlock.
Great no BS Video
Wat happened to old stash tabs for mechanics that’s no longer in game metamorph etc not been on since exalt change popped on 5 mins today never seen my metamorth tab
If you bought the Metamorph Tab it's been changed to the Ultimatum Tab. It'll hold Catalysts still but instead of holding Metamorph Parts it holds Inscribed Ultimatums.
I have still to figure out after my intial wildwood primalist ascendency how to get more points so I can use at least one charm
First you gotta find her, follow the trail of Blue Wisps. Finding her will get you the first 2 points. Then she'll give you a quest to kill 500 Nameless Creatures. It's the light blue mobs that spawn on the trail of blue wisps. The third set of points is for killing the Black Morrigan which looks like a big crow. The last is for killing the King in the Mists in a T14+ Map. The hardest part is getting the good RNG and running into these things.

GGG and other PoE streamers take notes: when introducing a new league - this is how it's done.
Just picked up this game for the first time. Got a lot to learn but also have not seen one of these portals open up yet.
They are everywhere. 👀
Is there only one warden per wildwood instance? If I want the warlock should I follow the purple wisps? Sometime there are no purple wisps...are all colors of wisps in each wildwood?
So everything we've found out is you won't run into them until Act 2, around a level 20 zone.

I wish I had a better more definite answer for you but it is random.
The monsters in the wisps are strong, even after they were nerfed some.
Nice work.

I'm coming back to PoE after a long break. Didn't understand 2% of what's going on, but I appreciate your video anyways. Subscribed!
For what I remember, YELLOW is for Quantity, BLUE for Currency, and purple for Rarity
You are correct, the video from the reveal had one version, the pathofexile.com/affliction had another version, and then the league released with a whole other variation.
Hi quick question: Where can you see how much “time” you have left before the mechanics end and a portal appears? Or is that Random?
I haven't noticed an indicator, but it does seem like as you progress through the acts you get more and more distance you can travel. By Act 5 I was had one travel down there that I managed to run into 2 different Azmiri Wanderers
how do i find and defeat nameless monsters..
You'll find them mostly along the Blue Wisp Trails. The Nameless Monsters are like the Big Bear and Drop Bear looking monsters but they glow blue.

Blue = currency thou.
thx bro nice tight video
How do I get this huge sword skin?
I think that's the Colossus Machete. th-cam.com/video/5rR6sDnoPnE/w-d-xo.html
So is blue item rarity or currency cause in tuna vid he said blue was for currency
Blue is Currency. This video was released before the league came out and based off the information that GGG had provided and they changed it without posting it in the Patch Notes. I pinned a comment with the correction. Sorry for the confusion.

Is that two handed cleaver mtx released already in poe stores?

Many thanks my guy
do the curses from warlock tree count to your curse limit?
Knowing GGG I'd say it's safe to assume it does but I haven't tested it. I'd say the Penance Mark would if it can be scaled with Mark Effect but I'm not sure about the other 2.
"Do the mechanic or you might as well play standard".
Sir, are you aware how currency works? People want 715 mirrors for some mediocre gear.
does the ascendancy replace chosen character ascendancy or does it stack? * Never mind, just checked and saw that it does, sorry...
at this point i feel the need to bitch i have only found 1 npc in the woods after running every zone until act 5
Ive done 10+ never found one of the 3 dudes
I randomly stumbled on mine in Act 2 and was able to find them on and off.

That beeping in ear............
so lab enchantment are dead... great
