Path of Exile 2: Runes of Aldur League Start Guide (Patch 0.5.0)

Через 7 дней — 29 мая 2026 в 20:00 UTC — стартует Path of Exile 2 патч 0.5.0: Return of the Ancients с новой лигой Runes of Aldur. Это свежий старт с новой экономикой.

Patch 0.5.0 Return of the Ancients launches May 29, 2026 at 20:00 UTC on PC and Consoles. The Runes of Aldur Challenge League brings a fresh economy reset and a new core league mechanic.

How Ezomyte Runes Work

In each area, you'll find an Ezomyte Remnant with slots to inscribe runes. With over 100 runes available, you can combine them to craft magical items, generate rare currencies, and buff area effects. Multiple runes create synergies — e.g. speed rune + fire rune = enhanced fire damage in that zone.

New Ascendancies at League Start

Martial Artist (Monk) — illusion-based, unarmed combat. High skill ceiling; recommended for experienced players. Spirit Walker (Huntress) — second new Ascendancy. Full guides will emerge after community testing. For safe league starts, established builds (Witch Minions, Ranger Bow, Warrior Slam) remain strong choices.

The Overhauled Endgame

The Atlas Tree now has 300+ nodes. Logbook content shifts to island-hopping across open oceans — entirely new late-game navigation. Expect to relearn Atlas progression even if you played 0.4.x extensively.

League Start Time

May 29, 2026 at 20:00 UTC = 1 PM PDT = 23:00 Moscow Time. Simultaneous PC and console launch.
