Official sourceThese reviewed details come from the linked developer interview. Each speaker-and-time link opens the segment supporting that card; planned and undecided work is labeled explicitly.
Source: full developer interview · Transcript coverage 00:00:00-02:02:19A gem can use any socket color; only a matching color grants the color bonus. When a colored socket appears, its color is still weighted by the item's attribute requirements.
The Vaal socket outcome creates one random red, green, or blue socket without attribute weighting. A Chromatic Orb guarantees one colored socket, while bench crafts can guarantee two or three.
Diala's Malefaction now grants 20% quality from its green-socket modifier instead of 30%. Skin of the Loyal and Skin of the Lords now generate with six colored sockets.
Charts are fully tradable and can be stockpiled while mapping. Each Voyage is assembled from nine Charts.
Allflame crafting repeats the selected currency action against the original item, and its separate outcomes do not block one another.
Vaal Orbs do not work with Allflame crafting. Crafting inputs that produce more than one output are also unsupported.
Abyss completion chests now use defined reward categories, and the rework adds a pinnacle boss. Existing Abyss liches keep their drops.
Eligible uncorrupted Unique armour can be enshrouded into a random core-drop Unique of the same armour category. The output gains a designated modifier from the input as an implicit.
Temporary Mercenaries begin appearing in Act 3 and help for the rest of the current area. Their fixed equipment lets GGG balance them more strongly than permanent hires.
Transfigured skill gems no longer drop from Heist and instead return to Mercenaries in 3.29.
GGG is removing non-Unique synthesized implicit bases from the general item system. Synthesis Unique items remain unchanged and can still carry synthesis implicits.
One new bench craft removes one modifier and adds one. A second craft removes three modifiers and adds three.
GGG plans to add in-game price checking and a build planner to Path of Exile 1, but Mark Roberts gave no release timing for either tool.
Mark Roberts said the current likely direction is a focused Bestiary rework alongside a future league, similar in scope to the 3.29 Abyss and Legion passes.
