In order to get us all primed and ready for the final Path of Exile challenge league of the year, Grinding Gear Games will be running a series of limited-time events throughout November. These include a Mayhem event, an Endless Delve mode, and an event that blankets Wraeclast with Delirium zones.
Participating in these events will let you win a bunch of in-game cosmetics, and even some themed T-shirts. Here’s a quick trailer:
In the weeks leading up to our 3.20 expansion, we’ll be running three events for players to challenge themselves in three unique ways. All events will be available for both PC and Console, so everyone is welcome to join in! Each event will have a Standard, Standard Solo Self-Found, Hardcore and Hardcore Solo Self-Found versions that you can play in except for Endless Delve, which only has Standard Solo Self-Found and Hardcore Solo Self-Found versions.
When picking which events to run, we aimed for some variety between each event to cater to many different types of players. For example, Mayhem is great for players who love chaos and action. Endless Delve is great for players who want to play Path of Exile in a fairly novel way. Delirium Everywhere is great for players who want a more challenging experience. Each event has been improved since the last time we ran it. Most notably, we’ve vastly improved Delirium Everywhere’s scaling for lower level areas.
You’ll be able to win two guaranteed Kalandra Mystery Box per account for reaching Level 50 in any two of the events. This is two total guaranteed mystery box across all three events. This means that players are able to pick and choose two out of the three events they want to play rather than feeling forced to play all three in order to pick up the maximum number of prizes.
The events also have a huge pool of microtransaction prizes that are randomly drawn for characters that reach certain level thresholds. This pool of prizes is shared between PC and Console players, with each event having its own prize pool. Having multiple characters will increase your chances of winning a randomly drawn prize. More details on all the prizes can be found in each event’s prize section below.
PC Prizing
The top three overall in each version of the events will receive a full microtransaction set and first place will take home one Path of Exile shirt from their choice between the Lunaris Vs. Solaris or Vaal Orb T-Shirts. In the Hardcore Solo Self-Found version of each event, the top of each Ascendancy Class will receive the exclusive Godslayer’s Pride microtransaction. In the Standard, Solo Self-Found and Hardcore versions of each event (where applicable), the top six players (regardless of Ascendancy) will also receive a Godslayer’s Pride.
Console Prizing
First place overall in each version of the events will receive a full microtransaction set. In the SSF version of each event, the top three overall will receive a Godslayer’s Pride microtransaction.
November 4 – Mayhem
The Mayhem event takes classic Path of Exile league modifiers from Anarchy, Invasion, Breach, Ambush, Torment, Harbinger, Delirium, and Scourge and pushes them to the extreme. In each area you’ll encounter one of the following scenarios: 20 Rogue Exiles, 20 Strongboxes, 20 Invasion Bosses, 10 Breaches, 20 Tormented Spirits, 20 Harbingers, a Mirror of Delirium, or enemies that have a chance to spawn Beyond Demons when slain close to each other. Each area in Wraeclast will have one of these mods, along with two mods from a pool of mods that increase the difficulty of monsters in the area. The mod that an area has will change every hour.

- This event is voided. (Items and characters do not transfer to parent leagues at the end of the event)
November 14 – Endless Delve
Return to the Azurite Mine and journey endlessly deeper in this returning event. You begin the event in the Mine Encampment and cannot leave the Mine. All you can do is Delve. All sulphite costs have been removed, and the Mine scales from level 1 instead of its usual scaling.
To aid you in your descent, you’ll start with a stack of Scrolls of Wisdom and some powerful unique items. Lily Roth has also made her way to the Mine Encampment to sell you gems, with each gem costing a single Scroll of Wisdom. At level 1, and every 10 character levels until level 70, you gain 3 passive skill points to make up for the ones you’d normally get from quests. And of course the Altar of Ascendancy is available, granting you 2 Ascendancy passive skill points when you reach levels matching the area level of each Labyrinth. No matter how deep you go, there’s no escape from Kitava’s curses, so you’ll lose resistances and start incurring an experience penalty on death when you reach levels 40 and 70.
While previous Endless Delve events have been won by the player that reached the greatest depth by the end of the race, this Endless Delve event will be won by the first player in each ascendancy class to depth 600.
- Starting at 12pm November 14th (PST) which is Nov 14, 2022 10:00 PM (GMT+2) (Log in to view in your local time)
- Ending at 12pm November 21st (PST) which is Nov 21, 2022 10:00 PM (GMT+2) (Log in to view in your local time)
- Standard Solo Self-Found, Hardcore Solo Self-Found versions available.
- This event is voided. (Items and characters do not transfer to parent leagues at the end of the event)
November 21 – Delirium Everywhere
A dense fog hangs over Wraeclast, the continent now enthralled by Delirium. Almost every campaign and endgame map area has permanent Delirium fog, ranging randomly from 10% to 100% Delirium with the minimum and maximum level of Delirium scaling with the level of the zone. This way, some lower level encounters won’t be impossibly difficult and higher level encounters won’t be incredibly easy. This has all the usual effects — monsters getting buffed, new monsters spawning, reward bars filling with kills, and Simulacrum splinters dropping. To avoid spam-refreshing areas being the best strategy, each area always has the same Delirium percentage, and Delirium reward types are randomised each time they drop.
In comparison to the last time we ran a Delirium Everywhere event, we’ve reduced the amount of Delirium that can be applied to zones earlier in the campaign and have adjusted the maximum Delirium each act can have so that progressing past certain encounters isn’t near-impossible.
Mirrors of Delirium cannot spawn in this event. If you get your hands on a Delirious map, it functions as normal, overriding the special rules of this event.
- Starting at 12pm November 21st (PST) which is Nov 21, 2022 10:00 PM (GMT+2) (Log in to view in your local time)
- Ending at 12pm November 28th (PST) which is Nov 28, 2022 10:00 PM (GMT+2) (Log in to view in your local time)
- Standard, Hardcore, Standard Solo Self-Found, Hardcore Solo Self-Found versions available.
- This event is voided. (Items and characters do not transfer to parent leagues at the end of the event)
