POE Legacy of Phrecia: Updates & Ascendancy Nodes
Time: 2025-02-18 by mmojugg Game: Path of Exile Guide Tags: Legacy of Phrecia
The Legacy of Phrecia event for Path of Exile 1 drops February 20th, 2025, and Grinding Gear Games (GGG) has unveiled the last pre-launch updates. Alongside Idol system tweaks and a player rivalry, they've revealed Small Nodes for all 19 new ascendancies. Here's the full scoop, plus gold-making strategies for surviving the chaos.
Final Event Updates
Black Market Idol Gambling: Upgrade Kingsmarch's black market (100,000 gold + Verisium metal) to turn gold into random Idols. Great for casuals in yellow maps (1.5–2 hour grind), less impactful for vets in Tier 16s (2–3 maps).
Idol Recombination: Eisa recombines three Magic/Rare Idols into one unidentified version (lowest input item level). Crucial for chasing rare mods or crafting perfect Rares from Magic pairs.
Unique Idols: “Twisted Wish” offers 2% increased maps found per slot (up to 84% max), tweaking Ultimatum drops. Other variations teased.
Sanctum Rivalry: Anti-Sanctum Alliance vs. Sanctum Runners Union—a Reddit-spawned feud that might nudge Sanctum Tome prices up.
All 19 Ascendancy Small Nodes Revealed
Here's the complete list of Small Nodes for all 19 ascendancies, as detailed in the video:
Scavenger: +1 Classic Passive Skill Point per node. Simple, reliable power boost.
Aristocrat: +1 Classic Passive Skill Point per node. Consistent value for any build.
Paladin: 5% increased effect of non-curse auras (20% total). Aura builds soar—near ascendancy-tier strength.
Gambler: 5% increased item rarity (20% total). Decent for mapping, less impactful than POE 2 rarity.
Peltast: 0.5% life regen per second (2% total). Solid sustain, goes well with his tanky kit.
Daughter of Ashabi: 10% increased shrine buff effect + 10% dodge rating. Thematic and useful for shrine-focused builds.
Whisperer: 10% increased attack damage + 6% max mana. Stellar for its damage scaling focus.
Wildspeaker: 3% movement speed increase + minion damage. Highest speed, minion bonus varies by build.
Blind Prophet: 10% crit multiplier + 10% stealth. Crit shines, stealth is niche (reduces detection radius).
Servant of Urukar: 33% increased chaos damage + 15% minion damage. Great individually, rarely both at once.
Surfcaster: 5% chance to cause monsters to flee + 10% fish rarity. Flee is weak (mitigated by freezes), fish stat value TBD.
Bog Shaman: 7% chaos resistance + 5% curse effect. Strong defensive/offensive duo—elevates this ascendancy.
Herald: 5% increased Herald buff effect + 10% Herald skill damage. Lackluster for Herald of Agony; better for elemental Heralds.
Harbinger: 10% energy shield recharge rate + 10% mana regen. Niche but potent for spell-loop builds.
Polytheist: 5% increased global defenses + light radius. Broadly useful, lacks punch unless Ward-focused.
Puppeteer: 7% chaos resistance + 10% minion max life. Perfect for zombie detonation builds—hilarious chaos ensues.
Architect of Chaos: 4% max life + 10% chance for Vaal soul on kill. Tanky and Vaal-friendly—top-tier combo.
Behemoth: 10% armor + 3% strength. Decent stats can't save this weak ascension.
Antiquarian: 10% increased global defenses (50% with five nodes). Ward synergy makes it a defensive beast - 150% total with uniques.
Notes: Most nodes offer four instances (e.g. 20% total rarity for Gambler), but Antiquarian shines with five nodes (50%) due to Ward scaling. Behemoth lags despite okay stats.
Gold-Making Strategies
Maximize your gold haul during the event:
Idol Trading: Farm Tier 16/17 cards for high-level Idols, recombine trash into rares, and sell early. Rare mods fetch premiums on day one.
Sanctum Tomes: List Tomes 5–10% above average post-rivalry hype. Low profit, low risk.
Gold Farming: Juice tier 16/17 cards with scarabs - 100,000 gold in 2-3 runs for vets. Sell excess or gamble on the black market.
Gear Sales: Craft/sell ward gear (Antiquarian), aura items (Paladin), or life-on-block shields (Gambler). Early demand spikes.
