What is Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur?
In the Settlers of Kalguur Challenge League, players will help Kalguuran pioneers build the town of Kingsmarch and establish trade between Wraeclast and their homeland. Players will focus on mining exotic resources, hiring and protecting skilled workers to construct and defend the town, and building a harbor to establish and manage trading. Once the town is constructed and trade is underway, players can buy and sell currency and other stackable items in the Currency Trade Market and craft and recombine powerful weapons and items on the Runesmithing Table.
