Upgraded Unique Weapons will have higher damage, and Upgraded Armours will have increased base defences as well as Runic Ward. Allowing them to be more competitive at higher levels. Unique Armours above level 55 can still be Runeforged to modify their defences to include Runic Ward at the cost of reducing their other defenses similar to the base types. | |
| 87 | + | * Unique Verisium Runeforging has additional properties when used on Kalguuran Uniques. | |
| 88 | + | * Added 13 Ancient Runes which can be unlocked to be crafted by Remnant encounters after completing Farrow's quest in Act 4. These runes have powerful bonuses specific to each weapon type. | |
| 89 | + | * Added 13 Mythical early game runes that can be crafted from Remnant encounters to provide significant boosts to level 15+ characters. | |
| 90 | + | * Added 3 Fluxes which can be crafted from Remnants to transform the resistances on your items from one element to another. | |

Seek out the crater of a fallen star, a meteor of pure Verisium, from which you hope to forge objects of immense power… if you can defeat what awaits you there. | |
| 98 | + | * There is now a hub area "The Ruins of Kingsmarch" for The Runes of Aldur to the south-east of your starting location on the Atlas. | |
| 99 | + | * The Logbook mechanic has been changed into an Ocean Exploring mechanic. Using logbooks now unveils a section of the ocean with a variety of islands to explore. | |
| 100 | + | * Many new underground areas have been added that can be uncovered during expeditions. | |
| 101 | + | * Many new islands have been added with new Grand Expeditions (previously known as logbooks). | |

| 103 | + | * Defeating Olroth will give you a key that you can use to access the new Pinnacle Boss for The Runes of Aldur. | |
| 104 | + | * The new Runes of Aldur challenge league includes the first set of challenges in Path of Exile 2. Earn pieces of the Knight of Aldur Armour Set when you complete 2, 4, 6, and 8 challenges in Runes of Aldur. These challenge rewards are only obtainable in this league. | |
| 105 | + | * From the 1st challenge onwards and for every challenge after that, you will receive pieces of the Runes of Aldur Totem decoration to display in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Runes of Aldur challenges you completed during the league. | |
| 106 | + | * All of your old characters from the Early Access launch are still present but a free passive tree refund has been granted due to the changes. We would highly encourage you to join the new leagues to fully take in the changes we've made with the 0.5.0 update. | |
| 107 | + | * With 0.5.0, there are Standard, Hardcore and Solo Self-Found variations of the Runes of Aldur challenge league available. They have the same core mechanics and items, and you can create private league versions of these leagues. | |
| 108 | + | * The Hardcore variations of Runes of Aldur are parented to their Standard Runes of Aldur equivalent, meaning if you die in Hardcore Runes of Aldur you can continue on in the Standard Runes of Aldur League. |
