Exiles! Path of Exile‘s new Necropolis League is here, and it’s packed with cool new mechanics and reward structures. If you’re wondering how to make the most out of this league, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s dive into everything you need to know, from new items to endgame changes.
What is Necropolis League?
Every new League in Path of Exile spices things up with unique mechanics and rewards. The Necropolis League is no different, introducing exciting features like the Lantern of Arimor and Grave-Crafting. These additions promise to make your gameplay even more dynamic and rewarding, while creating the most powerful items in the PoE trade scene..
The Lantern of Arimor
As soon as you start, you’ll get the Lantern of Arimor. This handy tool tells you all about the monsters on your map—their type, pack size, density, and stat modifiers. Monsters can be Haunted, which makes them tougher, or Devoted, which gives you better rewards. Pretty neat, right?
Using Embers of the Allflame
Sometimes, when you slay monsters, they’ll drop Embers of the Allflame. These consumables can be used to change future monster spawns, letting you summon special monsters or remove ones you don’t want to deal with.

Lantern of Arimor Monster Modifiers
| Modifier Type | Effect | Usage Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Haunted | Increases monster strength | Use tougher builds |
| Devoted | Increases rewards | Focus on high reward scenarios |
| Pack Size | Number of monsters | Balance for fight size |
| Pack Density | Monster frequency | Efficient farming |
The Nameless Seer
Every once in a while, you might bump into the Nameless Seer, an NPC who offers a unique item for free. His items scale with the area level, which is super useful. If you want to make sure he shows up, use the Reliquary Scarab of Visions and kill a monster with the “Final Pack spawns the Nameless Seer on death” modifier.
Grave-Crafting and Monster Burial
When you defeat a Haunted monster with the Unresolved Anguish modifier, you can grab its corpse and take it to Undertaker Arimor for Grave-Crafting. This lets you bury corpses in a specific order to create items with powerful modifiers. It’s a bit like crafting, but with monster corpses!
Special Modifiers
Some corpses have unique modifiers, like:
- Socket gems in any color (Body)
- +1 to maximum power charges (Helmet)
- Recoup a percentage of damage as life (Body)
- Higher chance to maim on hit (Gloves)
- Movement speed can’t drop below base value (Boots)
Corpses can also be stored in the Morgue by purchasing an Empty Coffin from Arimor for 1 Chaos Orb. These corpses can then be itemized and traded with other players in the PoE marketplace, allowing you to earn some PoE currency like Divine Orbs or Exalted Orbs from corpses that have desirable modifiers.
Regular vs. Unique Corpse Modifiers Comparison:
| Modifier | Regular Corpses | Unique Corpses |
|---|---|---|
| Socketing Gems | Color-specific | Any color |
| Power Charges | None | +1 max charges |
| Damage Recoup | None | % of damage as life |
| Maim on Hit | Lower chance | Higher chance |
| Movement Speed | Modifiable | Fixed base value |
Itemizing Corpses
You can store and trade corpses, adding a new twist to the in-game economy. Selling corpses with desirable modifiers can earn you some sweet PoE currency.
Endgame Changes
The endgame Atlas has seen some major updates. More bosses, additional Atlas Passives, and the introduction of Tier 17 maps make things even more interesting. Scarab mechanics have been revamped, combining features from Sextants and Master Missions into Scarabs for a more streamlined experience.
Tier 17 Maps
Tier 17 maps are now the peak of Path of Exile’s endgame. These maps feature tougher bosses and offer unique rewards. To access them, you’ll need Uber fragments. The higher challenge comes with better loot, making it worth the effort.
Endgame Bosses and Rewards
Uber versions of bosses now have separate fragments and specific drop pools, giving you plenty of reasons to farm both regular and Uber bosses.
Conclusion
The Necropolis League is shaking things up in Path of Exile, making both the early and endgame experiences richer and more engaging. Understanding these new mechanics will help you optimize your builds and strategies for maximum rewards.
