What GGG has confirmed

A summary of the official Covens of Umbra expansion page. Numbers and exact effects come with the 3.30.0 patch notes.

Covens and Fates

  • Disrupting a Coven ritual lets you choose a Fate for the area’s boss. Each Fate raises both the difficulty and the rewards.
  • Bosses empowered by Fates drop Viscera. Every campaign boss and every map boss on the Atlas has its own Viscera.
  • Viscera go on your Wickerman to give your character some of that boss’s power.
  • Grim Fates empower the hardest Atlas bosses and reward Pinnacle Boss Viscera.

Endgame revamp

  • Scarabs are removed. Threads of Creation, set in the Map Device, apply a chosen league mechanic and scale monster rarity and difficulty.
  • The Atlas passive tree has a new layout, and many effects that were on Scarabs are now passives you can guarantee.
  • Almost every endgame league mechanic is augmented, modified, or revamped.
  • Mirage goes core: it can spawn in maps or roll as a map modifier, and now covers the whole map.

Loot

  • At endgame, unidentified Magic and Rare items can drop with a tier that improves every aspect of the item.
  • Rarity on maps and monsters now improves all types of drops, including currency and unique items.
  • New unique items are added.

What changes for PoeHow

How the confirmed changes affect the calculators and strategies on this site.

Scarab strategies

Scarabs are removed in 3.30, so scarab strategies will not get 3.30 prices. Earlier-league results stay available.

Boss runs

Fates change boss difficulty and rewards, so 3.29 boss-run results may not match 3.30 runs. New samples need the Fates used.

Drop-based values

Rarity now improves all drop types, so card and currency values based on 3.29 drops may shift once 3.30 data arrives.

Waiting on the 3.30.0 patch notes

These details are added after GGG publishes the patch notes. Until then, this page does not repeat keynote summaries from other sites.
