• IGGM Points System & Rules Explained | How to Earn Points, Redeem Coupons, Stack VIP Perks & Get Free Orders?

  To provide players with more cost-effective gaming products and services, IGGM platform has officially launched a brand-new points system, designed to let you enjoy a superior shopping experience while spending less!

  Below, we break down everything you need to know: how to earn points efficiently, use them for discounts or to redeem exciting rewards, and stack VIP benefits to maximize your savings.

  

  Before Using the Points System - Registration Required

  Please note that IGGM's new points system is available only to new-registered and logged-in users. If you haven't registered or logged in yet, you will need to do so to access Check-in and Points pages.

  How to Earn Points?

  Accumulating points at IGGM is simple and straightforward, primarily through two channels: daily check-ins and order rewards.

  1. Daily Check-in

  Simply click the "Check In Today" button on the IGGM Check-in Center page to complete your check-in; once the button changes to "️Checked In (Come back tomorrow)," your points have been successfully credited! Alternatively, you can also check in by clicking the current date on the calendar.

  

  One-tap check-in (Easter egg)

  There's a little Easter egg here! If you forget to check in for the day and land straight on the coupon redemption page, just tap the "little rocket" emoji at the bottom of the list to check in instantly - no need to navigate back to the Check-in Center. You'll still get those incremental rewards for consecutive check-ins.

  

  Please note the visual differences between PC and mobile versions! For PC users, the small rocket only begins to shake and emit flames when you hover your cursor over it; a single click launches the rocket and credits your check-in points. For mobile users, the rocket icon shakes continuously—simply tap it to check in and earn your points instantly!

  Other Check-in Entry

  In addition, IGGM provides the following access points for quick and convenient daily check-ins:

  1. Click "Go Now" on the coupon redemption page to visit the check-in center.

  

  2. Click the coupon section at the bottom of the homepage to access the check-in center.

  

  3. Click the banner at the bottom of any product page on IGGM to access the check-in center.

  

  4. Quickly access the Check-in Center via the My Account → My Orders page.

  

  Incremental Rewards for Consecutive Check-ins

  IGGM's check-in system rewards consistency. If you check in without interruption, your daily points will increase over time: 5 points on the first day, 6 points on the second, and 8 points on the third. From the fourth day onwards, as long as you maintain your streak, you will consistently receive the maximum reward of 10 points per day.

  Notes: If you check in via the check-in banner on the product page during your shopping journey, you can return to your original page via Back Shopping at the bottom after completing the check-in and triggering the points accumulation. You don't have to worry about your shopping progress being affected!

  Reset Upon Interruption

  If you miss a day or break your streak for any reason, your progress will reset to zero. Your next check-in will start back at the Day 1 rate of 5 points. Please note that the daily check-in reset is based on the server's time zone; be sure to check in on time to avoid losing progress due to network issues or other interruptions.

  2. Points for Orders

  Additionally, whenever you make an order on the IGGM platform, the system will award you points based on your subtotal amount.

  Point Accrual Rate: $1 = 1 Point

  Under standard conditions, every $1 of your actual spending converts directly into 1 point. To simplify calculations for order amounts involving decimals, IGGM rounds to the nearest whole number when determining the points earned. For example, if you pay $17.35, you receive 17 points; if you pay $34.86, you receive 35 points.

  To ensure system efficiency for small transactions, the subtotal amount paid for an order must be at least $1 to trigger point accrual; orders under $1 do not generate any points.

  Furthermore, points for all orders will be automatically credited to your account by the system only after the order status has officially changed to "Completed"; the number of points corresponds to the amount of the qualifying purchase.

  New User Perk: 10x Point Rewards

  IGGM has a welcome gift for new users! Your first paid order on IGGM automatically qualifies for a generous 10x points reward (meaning you earn 10 points for every $1 spent).

  Please note the calculation method: the subtotal amount is first rounded to the nearest whole number, and then multiplied by 10 to determine the points for your first order. For example, if your first order's subtotal is $17.35, you will receive 170 points ($17.35 → 17 × 10 = 170 points), rather than multiplying by 10 first and then rounding ($17.35 × 10 = 173.5 → 174 points).

  However, if your first order's subtotal is less than $1, you will not receive any points, and your first-order privilege as a new user will be used up. Therefore, IGGM recommends buying higher-value items you need during your first order to make the most of the 10x point reward.

  

  Due to the significant value of this offer, points for the first order will be credited after the order is successfully delivered and passes a security review, provided no refund occurs within 24 hours.

  You can view the specific points added upon completion in the My Account → My Orders section of IGGM.com. If you have just completed a payment but do not see the points immediately, please do not worry - simply wait a short while.

  

  Point Value and Validity

  Understanding the value of your points helps you make the best use of them. In the IGGM point system, 100 points = $1 (meaning each point is worth approximately $0.01).

  Please note that points are not valid indefinitely; each point expires 90 days from the date it was earned. IGGM employs a user-friendly rolling expiration policy: points earned on Day 1 will expire at the end of Day 91. The specific calculation time for rolling expiration depends on the time zone of your account's IP address.

  You can check for notifications regarding points nearing expiration on the "My Points" page of your account at any time to ensure you don't miss out on benefits.

  

  Multiple Ways to Use Points: Direct Cash Deduction and Coupon Exchange

  When buying items on IGGM, you can choose to use your accumulated points to directly offset the cash cost of your order or exchange them for significant discounts at IGGM Coupon Redemption Center. The choice is entirely yours!

  Option A: Direct Cash Deduction at Checkout

  On the checkout page, you can use the points in your account balance to reduce the cost of your current order. However, to maintain the integrity of the IGGM points system, the proportion of the order total that can be offset by points is directly linked to your order subtotal.

  Please refer to the table below for specific deduction ratios based on order subtotal ranges:

  Order Subtotal Range	Max Point Deduction Ratio
  $1.00 - $9.99	5%
  $10.00 - $49.99	8%
  $50.00+	10%

  Important notes on using points for cash deductions:

  1. Points are awarded only for successfully completed orders; orders that are voluntarily cancelled, flagged for suspected fraud, or fully refunded are not eligible for points;
  2. Points for your first order are not credited immediately; they will be issued within 24 hours after successful delivery, provided no refund has occurred;
  3. If an order involving points undergoes a partial refund, the system will deduct the corresponding points (rounded based on the refund amount) and return any points that were consumed. Returned Consumed Points = Consumed Points × (Refund Amount / Subtotal Amount);
  4. Points can be used in conjunction with VIP discounts;
  5. Cannot be used in conjunction with discount codes or cash coupons;
  6. Cannot be exchanged for cash;
  7. Cannot be withdrawn as cash;
  8. Cannot be transferred between accounts;
  9. IGGM.com reserves the right of final interpretation for all points-related policies.

  Option B: Redeem Discount Codes or Cash Coupons

  You can also visit the points redemption page to exchange points (in tiers ranging from 100 to 500 points) for discount codes (various rates) or cash coupons (subject to minimum order requirements). For example, the $10 cash coupon can only be used if your order's subtotal amount is $95 or more. If your subtotal is less than $95, the coupon will not automatically appear at checkout.

  Points Spent	Discount Code	Cash Coupon (Min. Order Req.)
  100	3%	$1 (Order ≥ $10)
  200	4%	$3 (Order ≥ $30)
  300	5%	$5 (Order ≥ $50)
  400	8%	$8 (Order ≥ $80)
  500	10%	$10 (Order ≥ $95)

  

  By the way, if you forget to check in for the day, the little rocket emoji on this coupon page is your quick way to do so! With a simple tap, a shake of the little rocket, and your points are in the bag!

  All discount codes and cash coupons are limited to 30 per week, first come, first served! All redeemable rewards reset every Friday at 4:00 PM (UTC+8)/1:00 AM PDT.

  Different colors clearly indicate the current stock status: green for 21-30 remaining, orange for 11-20, and red for 1-10. When stock reaches zero, it will display "Out of stock." But don't worry, just come back next week!

  

  While coupons are great, please keep in mind that all discount codes or cash coupons are valid for only 3 days. Redeem them carefully and ensure the items you wish to buy are in stock to avoid wasting your points.

  You can view your coupons and their current expiration status on the My Account → My Coupons page.

  

  Note: You can now quickly access the coupon redemption page not only through REDEEM button in the product page navigation bar, but also through "Coupon Center" at the bottom of IGGM homepage. We recommend bookmarking this page for convenient future check-ins and redemptions - saving you time and effort.

  

  Notes on Points Redemption Coupons:

  1. Only registered IGGM users are eligible to participate in points redemption.
  2. Each reward is limited to the first 30 users per week on a first-come, first-served basis.
  3. All discount codes and cash coupons require CF verification upon redemption.
  4. Redeemed discount codes/cash coupons are valid for 3 days from the time of claim.
  5. Only one discount code/cash coupon can be used per order. They cannot be combined with VIP discounts or points deductions.
  6. Discount codes/cash coupons are not valid for gift cards and top-up services.
  7. Redeemed discount codes, cash coupons and free orders cannot be returned or exchanged once claimed.
  8. Each account is limited to one redemption per special item per day.
  9. IGGM.com reserves the right of final interpretation.

  Option C: Direct Exchange for In-Game Currency/Items

  In addition to coupons, IGGM will also add special points redemption options to the redemption page from time to time, allowing you to directly redeem specific in-game items with points, such as Monopoly GO cards, Diablo 4 materials, or POE 1/2 currency.

  However, please note that each account can only redeem these items once per day. Please choose carefully.

  

  Once you meet the points requirements and click to redeem, a pop-up window will prompt you to enter the necessary delivery details for the game. After accurately filling in the information and completing the verification, the system will automatically generate a free order and display it in Coupon Order list; you just need to wait for it to be delivered safely. More point redemption features and options are coming soon - stay tuned!

  

  If you encounter errors during the redemption verification process, please check your network connection and try again using a reliable VPN.

  Furthermore, given the nature of virtual items, returns or exchanges are not possible once an order begins processing; however, if delivery fails due to issues on the IGGM platform, the points used will be fully refunded.

  VIP Ranks & Benefits

  For VIP members, IGGM offers tiered discounts to all users based on accumulated spending. Once your cumulative spending hits a specific threshold, you automatically unlock a permanent VIP discount:

  VIP 1: Your Spending (<$1,000), Get a 1% discount.

  VIP 2: Your Spending (≥ $1,000 and < $3,000) , Get a 2% discount.

  VIP 3: Your Spending (≥ $3,000 and < $6,000), Get a 3% discount.

  VIP 4: Your Spending (≥ $6,000 and < $10,000), Get a 4% discount.

  VIP 5: Your Spending (≥$10,000), Get a 5% discount.

  Discount Stacking Rules:

  • VIP Discounts CAN be combined with Points Deductions.
  • VIP Discounts CANNOT be stacked with Discount Codes or Cash Coupons.

  At checkout, you may apply either:

  • Option A: Discount Code or Cash Coupon (Alone)
  • Option B: VIP Discount + Points Deduction (Note: Discount Codes and Cash Coupons are not valid for Gift Cards or Top-up services.)

  

  Stacking Discounts and Maximizing Savings

  How can you get the most savings when checking out? IGGM has designed a smart checkout system based on our VIP ranks and point-redemption rules.

  At IGGM, VIP discounts stack perfectly with direct point deductions. However, please note that redeemed discount codes or cash coupons cannot be combined with VIP discounts or point deductions. Additionally, only one coupons may be used per order.

  At checkout, the system automatically compares the final costs of "Option 1 (VIP Benefits + Direct Point Deduction)" and "Option 2 (Single Discount Codes or Cash Coupons)" to select the most cost-effective choice for you, saving you the trouble of manual calculations. Which option offers the best deal will be displayed next to that option (Best Value). Of course, if you have your own preferences regarding coupon and point usage, you are free to select your preferred discount method.

  

  Refunds and Point Returns

  IGGM's refund policy allows you to request a refund at any time prior to the completion of delivery. However, we have specific rules regarding the refund and rebate of your points in this situation:

  Situation 1: Full Refund

  If you cancel your order for personal reasons, orders suspected of fraud or requiring a full refund will not be awarded points; furthermore, points already used in such orders will not be refunded.

  However, if a full refund is issued due to reasons attributable to IGGM, the points consumed for the order will be fully refunded to your account.

  Situation 2: Partial Refund

  If an order involving awarded points undergoes a partial refund due to special circumstances, the system will refund a portion of the consumed points on a pro-rata basis relative to the refund amount. Naturally, the points rebate you would have originally received upon order completion will also be adjusted; the corresponding points will be deducted based on the refund amount, with the figure rounded to the nearest whole number.

  Here is the formula for calculating point returns during a refund:

  • Returned Consumed Points = Consumed Points × (Refund Amount / Subtotal Amount)
  • Deducted Earned Points = Subtotal Amount - Refund Amount (rounded to the nearest whole number)

  The all-new IGGM member point system is designed to offer you more viable discount options for your long-term gaming purchases. Every point accumulated is a sincere token of our appreciation for your support.

  Log in to your IGGM account now, visit the Check-in Center to start accumulating points, and experience a smarter, more rewarding checkout process like never before!

  Frequently Asked Questions about IGGM Points System

  Q1: Can I transfer my VIP 5 perks from my old account to a newly created account and start accumulating check-in points there?

  A: No. To ensure account security and platform fairness, VIP tiers and points are treated as exclusive assets of an individual account. According to our system security rules, transferring, merging, or gifting perks across different accounts is strictly unsupported.

  Q2: My account currently has 277 points. If I buy items worth $34.68 and use up all my points to get a $2.77 deduction, but later receive a partial refund of $15.44 due to certain factors, how many points will I end up with?

  A: Your original $34.68 order generates 35 points based on rounding. Due to the partial refund of $15.44, the system will proportionately deduct 15 points (rounded to the nearest whole number). Therefore, the net points earned from this purchase will be: 35 - 15 = 20 points. Additionally, the system will return the points you consumed. Based on the calculation formula: Consumed Points × (Refund Amount / Total Purchase Amount), you will get back 123 points. As a result, your final account balance will be 123 + 20 = 143 points.

  Q3: Can I create unlimited new IGGM accounts and place small orders to exploit the 10x points newcomer reward?

  A: No. IGGM strictly prohibits the malicious registration of multiple accounts, utilizing technical exploits, or engaging in order manipulation to farm newcomer benefits. Our system is equipped with rigorous anti-fraud and risk control mechanisms: the 10x points multiplier for the first order will only be credited after the order is successfully delivered and passes a 24-hour anti-abuse system review. If the risk control system detects multi-account farming linked by the same IP, same device, same payment method, or malicious account associations, the platform reserves the right to permanently ban the related accounts and clear all accrued benefits.

  Q4: I just registered an account and my first order was a small item for $0.9. Because it was under $1, the system didn't give me any points. Then, my second order was for $100. Why didn't my second order get the 10x points? My first order didn't receive any points anyway, shouldn't this second order count as my actual "valid first order"?

  A: No. The system strictly identifies the "New User First Order" based on the very first paid order under your account, regardless of the transaction amount. The threshold ruling out points for subtotals under $1 is a foundational platform policy. Therefore, we highly recommend that new users consolidate their shopping carts on their first purchase and bundle higher-value items into the first order to fully maximize the value of the 10x points perk.

  Q5: If a website error prevents me from checking in for the day, causing my check-in streak to break, what measures will IGGM take to compensate for my points loss?

  A: We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. The daily check-in resets based on a specific time matching the server's time zone. If the streak is broken due to network latency or missing the refresh window, the system will strictly execute the automatic reset policy. We recommend completing your check-in as early as possible each day and ensuring a stable network environment. If the interruption is conclusively caused by a large-scale server outage on the platform, an official site-wide points compensation announcement will be issued once resolved. Please note that support agents do not have the authorization to manually alter individual check-in histories. Thank you for your understanding.

  Q6: I spent 300 points to redeem a $5 cash coupon, but the game items I wanted have been out of stock on the platform for the past few days. As a result, the coupon expired within 3 days without being used. The stockout is the platform's issue, so why should my 300 points be deducted for nothing?

  A: We apologize, but once a reward is redeemed at the Rewards Center, the corresponding points will be deducted and cannot be refunded. Because each reward is strictly limited to the first 30 users per week on a first-come, first-served basis, and the cash coupons are valid for 3 days, we highly recommend verifying current product stock and your purchase intent before making a redemption to avoid accidental cash coupon expiration.

  Q7: Can I still request a refund if my order status is "Completed"? Can the points be refunded?

  A: If IGGM has successfully completed the delivery and you have confirmed the order's completion, we unfortunately cannot honor refund requests. The points spent will not be returned. However, if IGGM fails to complete the service due to our own issues (for example, if Tycoon Racers carry service fails to help you achieve Rank #1), we will refund the points you spent according to the refund ratio.

  Q8: Why do I keep encountering errors when trying to redeem a coupon?

  A: Coupon redemption errors typically occur due to network instability or system security protocols. Your IP address might be flagged as originating from a high-risk region. We recommend adjusting your VPN settings or connecting to a different network, then trying again. If the issue persists, please reach out to our 24/7 Customer Support team for further assistance.

  Q9: Can I use a script or plug-in to claim the weekly limited 30 discount codes/cash coupons available each week?

  A: To ensure fairness for all players, we have implemented strict security measures. Redeeming any discount codes or cash coupons requires passing verification, rendering any script-based simulated clicks ineffective. IGGM reserves the right to void coupons and impose account restrictions on any account found using irregular methods (such as multi-instance farming, emulators, or third-party software) to forcibly claim coupons.

  Q10: If I use points to offset the cost but later receive a refund due to special circumstances, will the validity period of the returned points be extended?

  A: No. Returned points retain their original acquisition date and continue to follow the 90-day expiration rule; the IGGM platform will not reset or extend the expiration date due to a refund. Please use the returned points as soon as possible to avoid expiration!

• Madden NFL 27 Fun Hidden Feature Details You Might Have Missed: Tush Push, Holiday Visual Effects, and More

  Even if you pre-ordered Madden NFL 27 MVP+ Membership and have been playing for nearly two weeks, mastering the game's key changes and content, there are still hidden, fun details that you might not discover simply by logging hours.

  While these features may not fundamentally alter your core MUT 27 experience, unlocking and mastering them can certainly give you an edge over other players. Here is a look at what they entail.

  

  The addition of Tush Push

  This is a quarterback sneak play that gained fame through Philadelphia Eagles. Although it isn't exactly popular among all NFL teams, it is undeniably effective and fun to use.

  As a series dedicated to authentic on-field simulation, Madden has finally officially added this play in 27. While its in-game power might not be as overwhelming as expected, it can certainly help you secure a first down more quickly in short-yardage situations.

  To find and use this play, navigate to Goal Line playbook menu and switch to QB Sneak formation; it is also included in the playbooks of a select few teams, most notably Eagles.

  Once selected, you can choose Tush Push. It features a timing meter, requiring you to stop the indicator within the green zone to successfully execute the play.

  

  However, the outcome involves some randomness, success isn't guaranteed, likely to maintain game balance. Therefore, beyond specific plays or formations, the key to victory in Madden NFL 27 still lies in your player ratings and your final roster composition.

  If you aren't satisfied with your current lineup, it's best to buy Madden NFL 27 coins on IGGM.com to get the freedom of unlocking more packs or trading for specific players on the auction house.

  Even better, if you are a new IGGM user, you can earn points by checking in after logging in. These points can be redeemed for IGGM coupons or used to offset the cost of future orders!

  Special holiday visual effects

  If the addition of Tush Push ramps up the competitive intensity of Madden 27 matches, the new special visuals and animations add a warmer, more festive atmosphere to the game.

  Although no specific holidays have arrived just yet, trailers and other visual details suggest that MUT 27 will feature special broadcast packages and visual effects for holiday-themed games.

  These visuals will appear during halftime, the opening sequence, and post-game segments; winning teams will even be treated to special animations of them enjoying a holiday feast.

  Based on the schedule for the latter half of the year, this holiday-themed content will cover at least Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

  Dynamic time-based lighting system

  While previous Madden NFL titles featured dynamic lighting, the system in this game goes a step further by syncing lighting changes with the time of day to more perfectly replicate real-world conditions.

  In earlier games, all matches were calculated based on Eastern Time; consequently, for games held in the Midwest, the dynamic lighting often didn't match reality. MUT 27 has specifically optimized this aspect.

  While this change won't affect your score, and players on the East Coast might not even notice it, it demonstrates Madden 27's attention to detail and commitment to the experience of players across different regions.

  

  New stadiums added

  Beyond changes in the sky, Madden 27 also introduces new stadiums on the ground, such as the Buffalo Bills' Highmark Stadium, Melbourne Cricket Ground, and more.

  More importantly, you can play in these stadiums at any time, rather than having to wait for specific matches in Franchise Mode to experience them.

  To do this, simply select your desired stadium from the menu in the pre-game settings; once you're ready to play, you'll find yourself in that unique venue. Switching up the venue adds variety and fun to MUT 27 experience.

  

  Jersey-linked visual changes

  In older Madden games, switching to throwback jerseys meant that on-field graphics and video screens remained unchanged. Now, however, Madden NFL 27 ensures that the surrounding environment matches your chosen jersey, enhancing immersion.

  Pure coach mode

  MUT 27 allows you to step into the role of a real-life coach on the sidelines. Simply navigate to the game settings menu and enable coach mode.

  This mode offers a variety of options, such as Auto-Quarterback and Pre-Snap Lock. Taking Pre-Snap Lock as an example: once enabled, you can no longer make adjustments to your team once the play clock drops below 15 seconds.

  Additionally, you can activate the coach cam or press Down to switch to the sideline view, allowing you to watch your team execute the plays you've called.

  What is the one-handed catch?

  As one of the game's hidden new features, the one-handed catch in Madden 27 is performed by targeting the receiver and holding LB (Xbox) or L1 (PlayStation) while the ball is in the air to execute a high-point catch.

  Keep in mind that low-rated receivers are prone to dropping the ball when attempting this; therefore, once you've mastered the technique, it is best to reserve this mechanic for high-OVR elite receivers to minimize dropped passes.

  However, given that MUT 27 also features a timing-based catching mechanic, you have greater control over contested jump balls, allowing you to leap and attempt a one-handed grab, though success is not guaranteed.

  More details

  Beyond the cool, hidden changes highlighted above, Madden NFL 27 includes a wider array of popular player celebrations, enhanced lighting, fireworks, and drone shows for night games, as well as newly licensed team entrance music.

  These additions not only enrich the game and elevate the player experience but, more importantly, capture the unique style of specific players and teams, serving as an excellent showcase of their personalities.

  If what we've covered here has piqued your interest, why not jump into the game and check them out for yourself? Have fun playing!

• MLB The Show 26 Investment Targets after August 14 Update | Top Players to Watch for the Next Rating Boost

  MLB The Show 26 updated its player ratings on August 14, adding 6 new Diamond players and 12 new Gold players.

  With the regular season approaching its end, the next update is expected to arrive in roughly a month. Let's take a closer look at the key points from this update and identify the most worthwhile investment targets.

  

  Market Changes

  Overall, this was a fairly standard update. Based on player community feedback, many players earned substantial returns by investing in players recommended by the membership, with some even making nearly 1 million MLB The Show 26 stubs.

  One important change worth noting is that the game developers adjusted Quick Sale Value for high-rated players.

  According to player community feedback, players rated 91 or 92 OVR previously had a Quick Sale Value of 10,000 Stubs, but this was reduced to 8,000 Stubs after August 14 update. Although this adjustment has limited impact on the overall investment strategy, it is still worth keeping in mind.

  Key Player Changes

  Players Promoted to Diamond

  The following players successfully reached Diamond status in this update. Since their room for further short-term growth is limited, consider selling them at higher values to lock in profits.

  Ceddanne Rafaela

  We previously predicted that Ceddanne Rafaela could reach Diamond, so his promotion was not surprising. However, the size of his increase was significant, as he jumped directly from 84 OVR to 87 OVR.

  Ceddanne Rafaela's defense remains his strongest area, but his recent contact hitting and power have both improved. As a result, the official update increased his Contact Right and Power Right ratings.

  Fernando Tatis Jr.

  Fernando Tatis Jr. also reached Diamond as expected, although he only rose from 84 OVR to 85 OVR.

  Fernando Tatis Jr. hit several home runs in early August, including an extraordinary 465-foot blast rather than an ordinary shot down the line. However, his Power ratings were not increased.

  Bryce Miller

  Bryce Miller received the largest upgrade in this update, jumping directly from 81 OVR to 85 OVR. However, his performances have been somewhat inconsistent since July, so the official rating could potentially be reduced again in the next update.

  Dillon Dingler

  Dillon Dingler moved from 84 OVR to 86 OVR, receiving substantial rating increases. Both his Contact Right and Power Right received significant boosts.

  Drew Rasmussen

  Drew Rasmussen has recently shown impressive pitching quality. His fastball, cutter, and sweeper have all generated high whiff rates, and his overall pitching performance has reached a very high level. He received a small increase to his K/9 rating.

  Matt Olson

  Matt Olson received solid boosts to both his Contact and Power ratings. His recent form has also been excellent, as he has already launched his 36th home run of the season.

  Players Worth Investing In

  

  Although the following players did not reach Diamond in this update, they either posted strong performances or have significant potential, making them key targets for the next update:

  84 OVR Jesús Luzardo

  After a brief slump in late July, Jesús Luzardo quickly bounced back and has returned to top form. He currently possesses very strong strikeout ability.

  His ratings increased by +2, and his solid underlying numbers make him a strong candidate to reach Diamond.

  84 OVR Troy Melton

  Although Troy Melton did not reach Diamond this time, he still received an OVR increase. He is a strong candidate for a Diamond promotion in the next update and is currently worth considering as an investment target.

  84 OVR Gavin Williams

  Gavin Williams has an excellent K/9 rating. He recorded 11, 12, and 10 strikeouts in three consecutive starts on July 23, July 28, and August 2, respectively, demonstrating his outstanding strikeout ability and making him a particularly attractive target.

  84 OVR Michael Harris II

  Although Michael Harris II has missed out on Diamond promotion twice in a row, the official update still gave several of his stats small increases. With most other 84 OVR contenders showing relatively mediocre performance, he remains a strong candidate for the next group of Diamond promotions.

  81 OVR Sean Burke

  Sean Burke moved from Silver to Gold, indicating that the official evaluation of him has improved considerably. Although an immediate jump to Diamond in the next update is unlikely, he could still receive another rating increase, making him worth holding.

  Market Strategy

  Given the weak performance of the current Gold market, a smarter strategy is to focus on players who have moved from Silver to an 80 OVR rating. They offer greater room for growth and require a lower initial investment.

  For the players who reached Diamond in this update, it is recommended to prioritize Jesús Luzardo, Troy Melton, and Gavin Williams. Michael Harris II is also worth continuing to hold while waiting for the next update.

  For players such as Elliott Cruz, who are temporarily being held back, consider buying at lower values if their underlying performance has not changed.

  MLB The Show 26's fifth group of Diamond candidates is likely to be heavily concentrated among the players currently sitting at 84 OVR. Time your moves carefully and adjust your investment portfolio accordingly.

• Diablo 4 Season 15 the Most Underrated Weapon: El'Druin Sword of Justice Rework Completely Changes the Boss Fight Meta

  Players, have you ever struggled against Mephisto's relentless attacks, falling just short of victory by the final blow? However, in Diablo 4 Season 15, a piece of equipment you might have overlooked is quietly changing that - the reworked El'Druin, Sword of Justice.

  Based on extensive testing on PTR, we've discovered that this weapon's attacks can inflict Smite on enemies below 35% health, instantly executing them.

  Next, we'll delve into how to integrate El'Druin, Sword of Justice into your Diablo 4 Season 15 progression.

  Core Mechanics

  Players should know that El'Druin, Sword of Justice will receive a brand-new execution effect in Season 15, instantly killing all enemies below 35% health. Unlike regular damage-boosting attributes, this mechanism doesn't rely on a single damage value; it directly executes the kill.

  Furthermore, this effect applies to almost all enemies in Diablo 4 - elite monsters, Lair Bosses, World Bosses, and even Mephisto are not spared.

  Because this change wasn't mentioned in PTR notes, many players completely overlooked this new effect. In fact, it's this execute effect that gives El'Druin, Sword of Justice the ability to dominate all regular combat in Diablo 4.

  However, it's important to note that the previous effect of this Unique Sword in-game - reducing the cooldown reduction time of skills after defeating elite monsters - was a mechanic serving speed farming gameplay.

  The original cooldown reduction effect will be inherited by In-Geom in Season 15. These two Diablo 4 items are independent of each other; only the effects have been transferred, they have not been merged.

  

  Practical Impact

  Because we can switch weapons at any time during combat, we don't need to keep El'Druin, Sword of Justice as our primary weapon. Instead, we can switch to it temporarily when the conditions for a kill are met during a boss fight, instantly executing the enemy.

  With this capability, players can skip many previously difficult phases.

  For example, the dense mechanics in the latter half of Mephisto's second phase, or Infernal Protection triggered by Lair Boss when its health drops to 33% - this shield is equivalent to double health.

  However, El'Druin, Sword of Justice's execute effect can ignore the shield and instantly kill the enemy's remaining health!

  Of course, to fully utilize this practical advantage, your weapon switching must be very convenient.

  For Diablo 4 players using controllers, switching equipment mid-battle is cumbersome and may even affect the smoothness of combat.

  More importantly, whether this mechanism, capable of instantly killing enemies in high-difficulty challenges, will be removed shortly after Season 15's release remains a point of contention.

  Applicable Scenarios

  If we disregard switching weapons during combat and simply use El'Druin, Sword of Justice as our fixed main-hand weapon, its benefits are not particularly outstanding.

  From the start of combat until the enemy's health drops to 35%, this weapon provides no additional damage bonus; it only removes the remaining health at the very end.

  In contrast, regular damage-dealing aspects in the game (such as Edgemaster's Aspect) typically provide a 60%-70% damage increase, with some class-specific aspects offering even higher increases.

  Compared to El'Druin, Sword of Justice, the overall benefit is actually less than a stable damage-boosting aspect.

  Therefore, in typical combat scenarios of Diablo 4 Season 15, El'Druin, Sword of Justice may not be our optimal choice.

  However, this weapon's effectiveness is significantly enhanced against shielded enemies like Lair Boss. The execute effectively skips the entire shield phase, greatly increasing our total damage output, making it very competitive in boss fights.

  

  Even Better in a Group

  If you can form a multi-player group, the value of El'Druin, Sword of Justice will be further amplified.

  Because as the number of people in the group increases, the health of the monsters we encounter also increases, but the weapon's execute effect still applies a fixed 35% of health, unaffected by total health.

  This means that as long as one member of your team can wield this weapon and trigger the execute when the enemy's health drops to 35%, the damage contributed by El'Druin, Sword of Justice will be enough to offset the lack of other DPS or support members in your team, and may even significantly improve monster-clearing efficiency.

  Consider this: in the upcoming Diablo 4 Season 15's high-level Tower Push gameplay, El'Druin, Sword of Justice is highly likely to become a core consideration in team composition.

  Potential Issues

  While El'Druin, Sword of Justice is currently performing impressively, it still has some potential drawbacks that cannot be ignored.

  The most prominent issue is switching equipment during combat, as this is actually unfriendly to controller players.

  Furthermore, it could render the carefully designed boss phase mechanics of the development team ineffective, and ultimately, El'Druin, Sword of Justice's powerful effects may still be nerfed or even removed.

  However, some players believe that the changes to El'Druin, Sword of Justice might be a prelude to a longer-term feature in Diablo 4 - it's possible that a one-click weapon switching function will be introduced in the future, and this weapon could very well be the first test subject.

  Of course, we're still in Season 14. If you want to acquire more resources in the game right now, you can join IGGM Diablo 4 Facebook Group, because we're having giveaways that give you the chance to get free items to help you make a better sprint at the end of the season!

  

  In any case, the final playability of this item still awaits further clarification in the upcoming Diablo 4 Season 15!

• How Close Is Path of Exile 2 to 1.0? | Gamescom and ExileCon 2026 Could Reveal the Key Timeline

  Path of Exile 2's early access has lasted for over a year. For Exiles who have grown with the game, the anticipation for 1.0 release is undoubtedly palpable. So, how far are we from 1.0 release? What are the key milestones and patch plans to watch out for in the near future? This article will summarize the information released so far, combining official announcements, developer interviews, and community discussions, to give you a glimpse into the latest progress of Path of Exile 2 towards 1.0.

  Gamescom: Big Reveal

  

  August 25th is sure to be the focus of PoE 2 community. The studio has confirmed their participation in Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, and will reveal the latest developments during Gamescom ONL official livestream at 11:00 AM PST on August 25th. Regarding the specific content revealed, we have the following main speculations:

  • New Class/Weapon Teaser - The most requested announcement from players is for sword-type weapons and the new Duelist class. Considering the official confirmation that sword-type weapons and Duelist will not be added in patch 0.5.5, Gamescom is an ideal time to announce this content.
  • 1.0 Version Trailer - Another possibility is that the studio will release a trailer for the official 1.0 version, while also announcing information about ExileCon 2026, informing a wider audience that the game is about to officially launch.
  • Chapter 5/6 Content - ​​This could also be the first glimpse of subsequent story chapters.

  Given that Gamescom ONL is a multi-part presentation with limited time for each game, this reveal is more likely to be a short teaser rather than a comprehensive one- or two-hour-long explanation like a regular official presentation.

  Patch 0.5.5: Final Polish Before 1.0

  Following Gamescom, Patch 0.5.5 may become the next major update.

  New Event League

  The core change in 0.5.5 is the introduction of a limited-time event league, rather than resetting existing servers. Specifically:

  • Existing 0.5.0 servers remain unchanged, and players can continue playing their existing characters.
  • The new Event League will be independent, with all players starting from level 1 and having a completely new economy.
  • This event lasts approximately one month, after which characters and items will be transferred to Standard League.
  • Three modes are available: Softcore, Hardcore, and Solo Self-Found.

  For players preparing to start afresh in event league, gear and resources will need to be accumulated again. To expedite the early build, players can buy POE 2 currency from IGGM.com, saving time spent repeatedly farming resources and allowing them to focus more on the limited-time League content.

  Additionally, you can purchase in-game resources at a lower price through our IGGM Points System. The operation is simple: just register and log in to your IGGM account to participate in daily check-ins and earn points, which can be directly deducted from your order amount!

  Balance Adjustment Direction

  Based on information previously revealed by the developers and current community feedback, the balance adjustments in 0.5.5 will likely continue to focus on several prominent pain points.

  Ascendancy Adjustments

  

  Currently, the performance of some Ascendancy items is still not ideal, with players frequently mentioning Warbringer, Invoker, and Amazon. It's predicted that adjustments will likely be made to their specific mechanics and build performance, rather than simply increasing their numerical values.

  Passive Tree Optimization

  The Passive Tree also has room for adjustment, especially since the benefits of some Jewels have significantly impacted gear build strategies. In addition, some less frequently used melee and spell skills may continue to be optimized to make the skill feel and growth curve more reasonable.

  Unique Items Adjustments

  The strength gap between Unique Items remains significant. Top-tier Unique Items like Mageblood and Headhunter have high build value, but many other Unique Items have low presence in actual gear builds. The studio has already made several adjustments to Unique, so it's not surprising that subsequent versions will continue to optimize this aspect.

  Performance and QoL Optimization

  Performance issues have always been a major concern during the early access phase. As content continues to be added, the developers are expected to continue addressing rendering performance, memory usage, and stability issues under different hardware environments. Meanwhile, QoL details such as Atlas search and map teleportation shortcuts may also be further improved.

  ExileCon 2026: 1.0 Roadmap May Be Announced

  If Gamescom was more like a prelude to the general public, then ExileCon 2026 is likely to be the truly noteworthy milestone in PoE 2's transition to 1.0. It has been officially confirmed that ExileCon 2026 will be held in Auckland, New Zealand, from November 7th to 8th. For the PoE series, ExileCon has always been more than just a player meet-up; it's a crucial platform for announcing major content and future plans.

  It has been officially confirmed that this year's ExileCon will feature unreleased content, developer presentations, and new playable content. Therefore, if Gamescom primarily focuses on building suspense, then ExileCon is likely to further reveal the full picture of PoE 2's future development plans, including the patch schedule after 0.5, the plans for adding remaining chapters and classes, and the content scale of 1.0 final version.

  Furthermore, 2026 marks the developer's 20th anniversary. Considering the current development progress of PoE 2, ExileCon 2026 is likely to be a crucial stage for the official announcement of 1.0 roadmap, and even for determining the release date of the final version.

  How Far Away is 1.0 Release?

  Currently, 1.0 final version of Path of Exile 2 is expected to launch between November and December 2026, shortly after ExileCon concludes on November 8th.

  In terms of content, 1.0 is expected to further refine the existing class system. While the final version may not include all 12 basic classes at once, the Ascendancy system for classes already in the game is expected to be further expanded.

  In terms of story, one of the core goals of 1.0 remains completing all six chapters, thus ending the current Early Access phase. In addition, real-time switching between keyboard/mouse and gamepad is confirmed to be implemented in the full release.

  For players who are closely following the game's developments, besides waiting for official announcements and major events, they can also join IGGM POE 1+2 Facebook Group to exchange the latest information and build ideas with other exiles. Furthermore, we will be hosting free currency giveaways from time to time - something all players need, whether in patch 0.5 or 1.0.

  From Gamescom to ExileCon, the next few months will undoubtedly be a crucial phase for Path of Exile 2 as it moves towards 1.0. Although the specific release date for the full version is still not finalized, as more content is gradually implemented, the answer is getting closer.

• Path of Exile 3.29 Stacked Deck Farming Strategy | How to Maximize Ritual and Scarab Returns?

  In Path of Exile 3.29, farming Stacked Deck is a reliable strategy with relatively low upfront costs and consistent returns, making it popular among players.

  In Curse of the Allflame League, the most effective way to farm Stacked Deck remains combining it with Ritual. Let's take a look at the map, Scarab choices, and other key details.

  

  Core Mechanics

  The core mechanic revolves around using five Divination Scarab of the Cloister. Adding these Scarabs to a map causes additional Doedre's Devoted monsters to spawn, which can drop Stacked Deck.

  You should then choose an 8-mod map and stack as much Pack Size as possible through Atlas Tree, increasing the total number of monsters in the map.

  Inside the map, use Ritual mechanic to revive Doedre's Devoted monsters that have already been killed. They can then be killed again within Ritual area, giving you an additional opportunity to obtain Stacked Deck.

  At the same time, you should make use of Eldritch Altar system and prioritize altar rewards that can duplicate Basic Currency. Since Stacked Deck is classified as a currency item, it can potentially be duplicated, significantly increasing your returns.

  How to Farm Stacked Deck?

  To maximize your returns, you should not simply kill monsters randomly. Quickly locate and kill the map boss first to increase the chance of spawning Eldritch Altars.

  Then clear the remaining monsters while keeping an eye out for and activating all Currency Altars, aiming to obtain currency duplication effects.

  Ritual should be done last because, by then, all monsters across the map have been killed, maximizing the number of monsters that can be revived by Ritual altars.

  Afterward, prioritize Ritual areas where the most Stacked Deck dropped during the initial clear. These locations usually contain a large number of Doedre's Devoted, so reviving and killing them again can provide more cards.

  You only need to pay attention to areas with a high concentration of Stacked Deck during the initial clear and prioritize the corresponding Ritual altars.

  

  Stacked Deck Returns

  The current market reference value for Stacked Deck is around 3.35 Chaos Orbs each, while each Divination Scarab of the Cloister is worth around 21 Chaos Orbs.

  A regular T16 8-mod map is worth around 2 to 3 Chaos Orbs. This puts the total cost at roughly 110 Chaos Orbs per map.

  Assuming each farming run produces around 70 Stacked Deck, which should be close to the actual result when using five Divination Scarab of the Cloister, this can generate around 120 Chaos Orbs in net returns.

  These returns do not include rare items that may drop from Altars. The map itself can also provide additional PoE currency and Unique items, so the actual returns are usually higher.

  If this farming strategy is still not efficient enough, you can join IGGM PoE Facebook Group and participate in giveaways. Winning will instantly grant you a large amount of currency.

  Strategy Advantages

  The biggest advantage of this farming strategy is that it is extremely difficult to lose currency on an individual map. Even when only Stacked Deck returns are considered, they are generally enough to cover the investment and leave a surplus.

  The value of the Scarabs has increased slightly, but the strategy can still remain profitable because the value of Stacked Deck is also rising.

  Alternatively, you can buy PoE stacked decks from IGGM.com, which may appreciate in value, allowing you to make a small profit. Of course, you can also open them directly and gamble on your luck.

  For registered IGGM users, don't forget to accumulate points through IGGM Check-ins. You can use these points to redeem discount codes or cash coupons, allowing you to acquire stacked decks at a lower cost.

  This is particularly friendly to players with limited starting currency. Compared with high-risk strategies that require a large sample size to generate consistent returns, this method requires around 110 Chaos Orbs per map and can generally return more PoE currency than that on each run.

  Since roughly half of the returns come from Stacked Deck, converting the cards back into currency makes it easy to fund the next map, keeping the farming cycle running smoothly.

  Atlas Tree

  The current Atlas Tree setup is highly flexible, so you can experiment with adjustments based on your own preferences. However, there are three core areas that should be prioritized:

  Map Modifier Effect Nodes

  Take as many nodes that increase Map Modifier Effect as possible. These nodes amplify Pack Size provided by your 8-mod maps, directly increasing the total number of Cloister monsters.

  Ritual Nodes

  Make sure the map has a 100% chance to contain four Ritual altars. This maximizes the number of Doedre's Devoted monsters that can be revived and increases the opportunities for a second round of drops.

  Eldritch Altar Nodes

  Either type of Eldritch Altar can be selected. The key objective is to trigger currency duplication effects. It is recommended to choose whichever type has less of an adverse effect on your current character.

  Remaining Flexible Points

  You can allocate some points to Scarab nodes because PoE 3.29 has several high-value Scarabs, and these nodes can provide a stable source of additional returns.

  You can also invest some points in Shrine nodes. Acceleration Shrine and Echoing Shrine can both significantly improve your clear speed.

  By taking Niko-related nodes, you can obtain Sulphite from Sulphite Veins and Chests in maps, then use passives such as Packed with Energy to gain increasingly powerful bonuses to Movement Speed, Damage, and Maximum Elemental Resistances.

  For Settlers-related content, you can choose nodes that give your map's Ore deposits a chance to trigger Starfall Crater. Entering it to challenge The Black Knight and defeating it will grant you 5 Verisium Ore nodes.

  You can also choose to strengthen Mercenary Encounters, increasing the rewards obtained from these encounters and improving the chances of encountering high-value Mercenaries, special rewards, or related PoE currency.

  Alternatively, you can increase the spawn rate and reward quality of Heist content, along with the chances of obtaining Contracts, Blueprints, and other related rewards.

  In short, any additional content that improves clear speed without significantly distracting you from the main farming process can work well.

  The above covers the core Stacked Deck farming strategy in PoE 3.29. Although the strategy is fairly straightforward, it is recommended to check the current Scarab cost and Stacked Deck value before farming and calculate whether the strategy remains profitable.
