The launch of Path of Exile: Legion is imminent! As always, we've gathered all the information you need to know about what happens on launch day and information on how to start downloading early.

The realm goes down and patching begins at: Jun 07, 2019 1:00 PM (EDT)
The servers go live at: Jun 07, 2019 4:00 PM (EDT)

The above times are displayed in your local time zone. You'll need to be logged into your account to see these. To change your local time, go to "My Account", "Manage Account" and "Edit Preferences".

If the timezone is displaying incorrectly for you, please disregard the above timer and refer to the countdown on the front page. Three hours before the end of the countdown, the realm will go down and patching will begin. When the countdown ends, the servers will be live and you'll be able to join the Legion League!

The patch size for the update will be around 4.5GB on the standalone client and 9.5GB on Steam. We've also made a torrent available for this update. Please keep in mind that this method, while available earlier, makes it a larger update as it includes all the existing client content. When patching begins for Path of Exile: Legion you'll also have a few remaining files that you'll need to update to.

You can find the torrent here. The download is approximately 15.5GB. This torrent only includes the GGPK file, so you'll need to copy it into your actual install folder once the patching server is up, no earlier than three hours before Path of Exile: Legion launches. Please note that you can't use this GGPK file with the Steam client.

Path of Exile: Legion on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will launch at Jun 10, 2019 5:00 PM (EDT) or at 2pm June 10th (PDT). Downtime will begin for deployment at Jun 10, 2019 4:00 PM (EDT) or at 1pm June 10th.

If you're looking for some extra character slots for your account for launch weekend, we're running a sale on these right now! Additionally, this is your last chance to get Glimmerwood Mystery Boxes! It will leave the store when our next mystery box enters the store! Keep in mind that if you haven't taken advantage of it yet, it's still possible to get a free Glimmerwood Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store. NOTE: this is only possible once per account. Additional purchases do not grant additional mystery boxes. If you need some extra points, we recommend checking out the Legion supporter packs.

As we announced earlier today, to welcome our new Korean community we're offering an exclusive helmet microtransaction to those of you who kill the Brine King in the Legion challenge league. Check it out here.

While we have your attention, there's been a few small changes to our announced plans in the last few days we wanted to take a moment to clarify them. After further balancing of Legion, it now takes 100 Legion splinters to make an Emblem (this isn't a nerf, we adjusted the drop rate so that the accumulation of them feels smoother and more granular like with Breachstones). Additionally, if you're looking to update your item filter it's worth noting that Incubators have the class 'Incubator' not 'Currency'. The post also originally listed both "Timeless Eternal Empire Splinter" and "Timeless Eternal Empire Emblem" - it's actually, "Timeless Eternal Empire Splinter" and "Timeless Eternal Emblem". Please also note that Emblems are 'Map Fragments' rather than 'Stackable Currency' as was originally depicted. The stat description of the mods on Rathpith on the announcement page are out of date. The Spell/Spell Crit specify that they scale off "Player Life", rather than simply just "Life.".

In case you still haven't decided which build to play with, check out the Class subsections on the forum for suggestions from the community. Many of our community streamers are also providing build guides on YouTube.

If you're not able to play the game on launch day, be sure to check out our community streamers on Twitch! Good luck everyone! See you at launch!
