Grinding Gear Games told players through a live broadcast a few days ago that Path of Exile: Scourge is coming. An equipment called Blood Crucible will appear in the game, which makes players full of curiosity.

In Scourge, there will be an NPC asking the player to implant Blood Crucible into their own body. This device needs to collect enough monster blood to fill it. After activating it, player can go to the parallel Wraeclast. The longer players stay in Wraeclast, the greater the damage they will suffer. This requires players to get upgrades to buy POE Currency to enhance their ability to resist.

Blood Crucible has many tricks. Players can insert items to reduce damage when fighting against natural disasters. Once filled, Blood Crucible will deform and produce two positive and negative modifiers. Then, players can use Build to do some things, such as massively increasing the requirements of items, creating statistical rebuffs, turning off certain damage abilities, and so on. Although a good Build can help players in various ways, the in-depth challenges will imply that players still need to face the issues of balance and time. Players need to Buy POE Currency to enhance weapons and skill levels to improve the character’s ability to complete hard tasks.

Players need to grasp the only three machines to get the best mods and the most effective balance. In addition, players can use Blood Crucible and POE Currency to repair and upgrade items, which will help players provide passive skill points for attacks when fighting against the Scourge Legion.

Another use of Blood Crucible is to influence maps. Placing a map with positive and negative effects on Blood Crucible will also affect the Scourge on that map. So it can help players get high-value loot, and may also have nightmarish consequences.
