If you really wanted this effect but missed this event, don't worry, there's another way to get it. While the release date of Verdant Wilds Dodge Roll Effect is still uncertain, the official announcement confirms it will appear in the in-game store, where you can redeem it.

While this method guarantees that players who want it will eventually be able to use it in their adventures, I'm sure you'd prefer to get it directly. After all, nobody wants to invest extra Path of Exile 2 Currency to get an item that could be obtained for free.

Requirements And Claiming Process

Whether you're a new or returning player, as long as you have an account, you can participate in this event and receive rewards after meeting the requirements.

Here are some core requirements for claiming Verdant Wilds Dodge Roll Effect:

• First, you need to link your Twitch account to your game account. Unlinked accounts cannot have their viewing time tracked.
• Second, participants must accumulate 45 minutes of viewing time on any PoE 2 livestream channel with the reward drop mechanism enabled during the event period.
• Then, you can claim Verdant Wilds Dodge Roll Effect.

The account linking process is very simple. Players should log in to their PoE account, go to Twitch Settings page, and find Connect option under Other Connections.

Follow the on-screen instructions to authorize your Twitch account. After completion, you will be notified whether you have successfully linked your account to Twitch.

After watching for 45 minutes, users can claim the reward before the event ends by visiting Twitch Inventory and manually selecting Verdant Wilds Dodge Roll Effect. After redemption, the reward will immediately appear in POE 2 microtransactions list.

Player Feedback

Since the announcement, many players have shared their opinions on the reward across various platforms, with Twitch Drops event receiving mixed reviews and constructive feedback.

Many players have said that Verdant Wilds Dodge Roll Effect perfectly matches their aesthetic, and this exquisite design makes it worthwhile for players to use it in the game to achieve a better visual effect.

They also noted that the natural visual style of the effect perfectly complements the theme of the upcoming PoE 2 patch 0.4.0.

The shorter viewing time requirement, lowering the barrier to obtaining the reward, has also been welcomed by players. Compared with the previous minimum viewing time of one hour, the current requirement of only 45 minutes can be easily met.

Besides the reward itself, players are also eagerly anticipating the new content in the 0.4.0 update, especially the changes Druid class will bring to the game.

However, some players expressed disappointment.

They felt the rewards were too limited and fell short of expectations. Furthermore, they hoped the game developers would offer a wider selection in future Twitch Drops events, such as pets, equipment, and armor.

While player opinions on Twitch Drops rewards were mixed, the overall response was very positive. With the player community eagerly anticipating the event, Twitch Drops served as a model for attracting players and generating buzz before a major update.

It not only sparked discussion within the player community but also brought massive viewership to POE 2 patch 0.4.0 The Last of the Druids streams, significantly increasing player anticipation for the game.

Path of Exile 2, by combining exclusive cosmetic rewards with highly anticipated content, captivated players. Earning these rewards through Twitch Drops allowed both new and veteran players to stay informed about the latest game news, thus generating interest.

This approach will continue to solidify PoE 2's position as one of the most anticipated action role-playing games in recent years. While enhancing the enthusiasm of veteran players, it also attracts more new players to try the game.

Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.4.0, Fate of the Vaal League, will launch on December 12th. To get ahead of the new league's content, you'll naturally need to create a new character and complete the campaign.

The entire campaign is essentially just a transition, and many players are eager to reach the endgame content. Below are some tips for quickly completing the campaign, allowing you to start farming faster.

Character Pick

If you start with a melee class but find it difficult at lower levels, you can create a Ranger character, defeat the first boss, and obtain a bow, quiver, and starting skill gems.

Store these items in Stash Tab, then switch back to your main character to retrieve and use them. This will make your start much smoother.

Initial Area Tips

After rescuing the wounded man and obtaining the class weapon, you can immediately pause the game and respawn at a checkpoint. This will reset the current area, but the weapon will re-drop, allowing for duplication. For example, if you are playing as a Warrior, you will immediately have two weapons.

In the initial area, do not try to kill all monsters. Run as fast as possible, ignoring lone enemies to save time.

Reach the checkpoint where Large Chest is located, open the chest to obtain a skill gem, but do not equip it. Respawn at the checkpoint again, return to the chest, and the skill gem will refresh. You can repeat this process to obtain multiple skill gems, equipping them when needed, and excess skill gems can be sold for gold.

How To Obtain Equipment?

After reaching Clearfell Encampment, you can find merchants to trade and change your equipment.

• Una: Sells Magical Items, Flasks, and Scrolls of Wisdom.
• Finn: Sells Physical Class Gear.

You can type "i" in the search box to quickly filter items. Maximum Life is the most important survival attribute during the campaign. Use double quotes for exact matching. For example, typing "m li" will filter only gear with the "maximum life" affix.

It is recommended to filter gear for Quality Items, bonus damage, increased physical damage, movement speed, and maximum life.

You can sell skill gems obtained through duplication here to exchange for a good set of magical gear at the shop to increase your health.

Leveling Tips

POE 2 has an experience gain penalty system based on the difference between player and enemy levels.

• Before level 40: The range of experience gained is ±4 levels.
• After level 40: The experience gain range is ±6 levels.

This means that grinding in low-level areas is inefficient. You should move to areas matching your level (or slightly higher) as quickly as possible to gain more experience. Efficiency is important, but getting stuck is usually due to insufficient damage, so choosing the right skills is crucial.

Contagion is suitable for any class in the early game, and it's very effective, at least in the first 10 levels or the first chapter. It's a curse skill, and i an enemy dies while affected, the curse spreads to nearby enemies, dealing additional damage, which greatly increases your efficiency in clearing regular monsters.

Quests

Many quests in the campaign have different rewards, but completing them all would be quite time-consuming, so you need to complete them selectively.

Quests like Mud Burrow reward a support gem, while quests like Abandoned Stash in Mysterious Campsite reward an uncut skill gem. You can skip these if you don't need them.

The skull icons marked with a cross on the map are mandatory to complete, as they reward permanent stats.

How To Improve Your Character?

If you feel you're struggling or your gear is lacking, repeatedly farm the bosses you can defeat, because bosses and elite enemies have a higher drop rate for better equipment. After several resets, you're likely to obtain powerful rare gear, which greatly boosts your early-game combat power.

You can create a new instance of a zone at the zone entrance using Shift+click or Ctrl+click. All monsters and bosses will spawn in the new instance. To avoid looting junk, it's recommended to set up or download a loot filter to only display valuable items.

Passive Tree

Path of Exile 2's talent tree is very complex. If you're unsure how to allocate your talent points, remember to only choose talents that increase damage before level 80.

Starting from your character's starting point, proceed along the main road formed by attribute points. Prioritize the nearest talent cluster that provides damage bonuses. On the way to the next damage talent cluster, max out all damage nodes along the way, skipping nodes that don't directly provide damage.

Before entering high-tier maps, you can completely ignore pure defensive nodes like armor and evasion, unless they also provide damage.

Item And Currency Management

In story chapters, weapon base stats see significant improvements around levels 11 and 28. Later in a chapter, even if you obtain a low-tier base weapon with good affixes, it's not recommended to invest in PoE 2 currency, as you'll quickly find bases with much higher base damage.

Magic items are usually more valuable when sold after being identified with a Scroll of Wisdom than when unidentified. Rare items should be disenchanted into Regal Shards at NPCs for crafting Regal Orbs. Only consider selling them if you already have enough Regal Orbs.

If you have equipment with sockets, you can disenchant it at the salvaging bench to obtain Artificer's Shard. This can be combined with Artificer's Orb, used to add rune sockets to equipment. When you feel the pace of combat slowing down and the pressure of survival increasing, it's time to invest in upgrading your equipment.

These are the basic tips for completing the campaign in patch 0.4.0. You can also use a leveling build to increase your speed.
