Path Of Exile players, take note! Path Of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur will be released on July 26! You may have already learned about what’s new in Settlers of Kalguur in some patch notes, but I believe you are still very much looking forward to Settlers of Kalguur.

Although POE has been around for more than ten years, developer Grinding Gear Games is still planning various very attractive ideas for each league. Among them, there will be many upgrades and improvements in Settlers of Kalguur, but the most important one is the addition of a new City Management System.

This guide will introduce you to City Management System and some fresh addition in Path Of Exile 3.25, so that you can get started faster when the official server is launched!

About City Management System

In Path of Exile Settlers of Kalguur, there will be four old faces returning from Expedition league - Dannig, Rog, Tujen, and Gwennen. They are all Kalguurans in Path Of Exile 3.25, and hope to establish trade between their country and Wraeclast.

To achieve this goal, they built a new city called Kingsmarch. As you conduct daily exploration in the action RPG, this small village will slowly build into a prosperous commercial and handicraft center.

In the developer’s social media and some interviews, game director Mark Neon Roberts once said that before this system, they took into account the popularity of creature collection survival and management games during this period, so they wanted to make this almost ten-year-old game more vibrant.

According to the existing game screenshots and beta videos, when you build Kingsmarch, you can fill it with all kinds of people and buildings. These people and buildings all have their own uses, some can improve the satisfaction of the locals, and some can provide you with more updated facilities, such as item disenchantment, farming, and shipping routes.

You can even have them run the map for you, or take advantage of some major features, most of which revolve around something that has never appeared in Path Of Exile before - gold.

About Gold

In Path Of Exile 3.25, you will see that in addition to daily loot and POE Currency, gold will also drop after combat, which can be used to get some tools, etc. But their major function is to pay the wages and maintenance fees of the workers you hire in Kingsmarch.

In addition to the regular use, you can even use gold to reallocate points in your passive skill tree. If you are brave enough, you can also gamble with Black Market vendor! Although players have been very surprised to trade market board currencies with other players, from the developers’ perspective, they hope that players will like Black Market gambler more.

Because it can generate a lot of items at its peak, probably hundreds of times more than the loot you get after a hard battle, and they can even help you pick the best ones. This means that there is no need to run your loot filter!

About Automation

As for the automation that players have always wanted, the developers also explained in the patch that it cannot be run all the time, only for a few days. And bluntly stated that it is impossible to run everything at level 10 efficiency now.

Sometimes, you will encounter a new opponent in Kingsmarch - Sasan, Bandit Lord. Sasan will come out from time to time to hijack your workers and force you to fight him. You can choose to face the battle or directly use gold to pay the ransom of the workers, or even let the workers fend for themselves.

As Path Of Exile 3.25 continues to deepen, I believe there will definitely be more ways to fight Sasan. Every time you defeat it, you will get some powerful unique items and some POE Currency.

Others

In addition to the changes just mentioned, there are many other things to look forward to, such as the increased pickup range in Path Of Exile 3.25. This way you can pick up loot throughout the area without having to move around too much.

In addition, after the melee rework, many melee skills will be 75% stronger at level 20, and the unique items required in the melee build will be reduced, and totem gems will be removed. This may sound like a bit of a nerf to the melee class, but it is the opposite, so that these classes can deal damage on their own without relying on other gear.

Even Gladiator ascendancy has been adjusted a lot, and a new skill - retaliation has been added, which is usually only available when your active shield is up. Tinctures have returned to the game, and you can use it to help your melee weapons get the most powerful bonus effect.

If you still have questions or want to communicate about Settlers of Kalguur, you can join POE player community in Discord and look forward to Path Of Exile 3.25 with tens of thousands of players. IGGM Discord will occasionally release some announcements about giving away POE Currency in this community, so you can wait quietly!

All in all, Path Of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur looks like a very exciting follow-up. Let’s look forward to the official version that will be officially released soon!

With the official announcement from the game developers, POE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur League will be officially released on July 26, and players have also ushered in their long-awaited melee enhancements and Gladiator remakes.

So now that the release time is getting closer, have you chosen which league starter to choose in Settlers of Kalguur League? As we all know, a strong league starter can develop your early league economy more efficient and easily obtain your POE Currency and gear in the build.

This guide will introduce some suitable builds for POE 3.25, most of which focus on melee. Each of them is very stable and has been enhanced to a certain extent at this stage, which can make your exploration in Settlers of Kalguur League easier.

Boneshatter Juggernaut

Boneshatter Juggernaut has received certain enhancements in both the basic version and the complex trauma version. Some players may still worry about whether Juggernaut class’s previous Unbreakable Ascendancy will change in this POE 3.25. In fact, this worry is unnecessary.

Endurance charges now reduce the elemental damage provided, instead of just changing elemental resistances and physical damage as before. You will find that the new configuration may be more powerful now, and the role of the new Unbreakable Ascendancy node is the same as before, without any changes.

If you put divine flesh into this build, Boneshatter Juggernaut will become even more powerful. In addition, Quality multiplicative changes will also have a very big impact on this build, especially to increase damage and enhancing offense. I think this should offset the nerf in Determination Aura.

Gear

• Weapon: Brood Etcher Despot Axe
• Helmet: Glyph Star Ezomyte Burgonet
• Armor: Forth Vow Devout Chainmail
• Rings: Eagle Finger Amethyst Ring, Carrion Hold Amethyst Ring
• Amulet: Eternal Struggle Onyx Amulet
• Gloves: Tanu Ahi Wyrmsclae Gauntlets
• Belt: Magnate Studded Belt
• Boots: Brood Sole Goliath Greaves

Frostblades Trickster

In Path Of Exile 3.25, the second best league starter build is Frostblades Trickster because of its high speed, high evasion, and higher damage. Many players worry that it is an early build that will only be dominant in the early stages and weaker in the later stages. This worry is unnecessary and absolutely not a problem.

And in POE 3.25, Frostblades Trickster has not been affected at all. In this build, Frostblade skill gem not only increases its own damage by 265 but also enhances its own basic freezing effect. This makes Frostblades Trickster even more powerful.

In this version and stage, Frostblades Trickster has undergone many nerfs, but it is still strong and has the potential to become an absolute beast in this league. This is also a Path of Exile Settlers of Kalguur melee build that you should try.

Gear

• Weapon: Essence Only Claw
• Offhand: Day 1 Shield
• Helmet: Heatshiver
• Armor: Day 1 Chest
• Rings: Maming, Day 1
• Amulet: New Item
• Gloves: Day 1 Gloves
• Belt: Day 1 Belt
• Boots: Day 1 Boots

Shield Crush Juggernaut

Shield Crush Juggernaut has been around for a few leagues, and in POE 3.19 it was a very slow league start build, but now in POE 3.25 it’s become very powerful. The way this build works is that you stack your armor with your shield soldiers to protect yourself.

In addition to Energy shield, it also adds fixed damage per 75 armor, and also increases your crit based on Energy shields' stats. This means that this is a very powerful crit stacking build.

According to the patch notes, the two skills in this build come with two buffs themselves. One of them has a fixed base damage DPS buff, and the other has a high-end DPS buff that scales with armor, which makes Shield Crush Juggernaut one of the most powerful builds in Path of Exile 3.25.

In addition, this build is one of the few builds in the game that can scale to extreme armor levels through shield quality, and its multiplicative changes will greatly increase the DPS of this build.

Gear

• Weapon: Dream Feather Replica
• Offhand: Emperor’s Vigilance
• Helmet: Enemy Horn
• Armor: Fourth Oath
• Rings: Cataclysm Knot, Storm Ring
• Amulet: Adur’s Uprising
• Gloves: Tanu Ahi
• Belt: Perseverance
• Boots: Cataclysm Slippers

Perforate Slayer

Although Perforate Slayer does not have a complete end-game configuration, players believe that it has the potential to become the best POE 3.25 league starter. In Perforate Slayer, the damage of the perforate skill gem is increased from 265% to 622%, which will make your battles easier.

But it also has certain risks. If you are not an experienced player, it is not recommended for you to use this build. Because it is very likely that when you use this build to kill people, your own health may not be very healthy.

Gear

• Weapon: Death Roar
• Offhand: Crown of Sorrow
• Helmet: Enemy Horn
• Armor: Death Jack
• Rings: Mind’s Eye, Dusk Eye
• Amulet: Doom Amulet
• Gloves: Death Knuckles
• Belt: Chaos Trap
• Boots: Vortex Slippers

That’s it for the best builds you can try out in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur. Let’s get started on July 26!
