Crafting and itemization continue to play a critical role in endgame progression. Path of Exile 2 introduces new crafting materials and modifiers exclusive to endgame zones, enabling players to tailor their gear with unprecedented detail. This level of customization allows for powerful and unique character builds, giving players a tangible sense of achievement as they refine their equipment to meet increasingly difficult challenges.The developers have expanded on the challenge league concept by incorporating persistent world events in the endgame. These events dynamically affect the state of maps, enemy difficulty, and loot quality, creating a living ecosystem that responds to player engagement. This feature not only rewards dedicated players with rare items and currencies but also fosters a sense of community as players work together to influence these world-changing events.
