Atziri's Temple

• Overview: Build out a giant Vaal temple by chaining rooms together, creating compounding difficulty and rewards as the layout expands.
• Game Stage Relevancy: late-game progression and late-game crafting, remains to be seen after changes.
• Crafting Mechanic: Temple-style room progression and Vaal-focused crafting, including room-based reward specialization and socket-related manipulation.
• Specialized Items: Vaal uniques, Vaal unique affix manipulation, “capstone” item crafting (corruption, double-corruption), and socket-related item manipulation/extraction.

• Fate of the Vaal has been added to the Core Game. You first encounter a series of 6 Ancient Beacons in Act 3, energise them to obtain Energised Crystals and open a portal to the Vaal Ruins. You'll encounter a second set of 6 Ancient Beacons in the Interludes.
• There is now an Atlas Passive Tree for the Fate of the Vaal league mechanic.

• The monster level of the Temple now factors in the level of the areas where the crystals used to open it were obtained.
• The Corruption Chamber Temple Bonuses have been updated to add Monster Modifiers Chance, instead of Additional Monster Modifiers.
• Portals created in the Temple of Atziri now create a corresponding portal in the parent Vaal Ruins for ease of access.
• Vaal Beacons now show a greyed-out icon on the Minimap when completed.
• There are now 4 types of Infusers, existing Vaal Infusers are now Vaal Armourer's Infusers, which can be applied to Armour.
