We're currently in the ninth week of the Legion League and it's a good time to check it with our statistics!

Looking at Unique Items at all levels, we can see that Tabula Rasa is (unsurprisingly) the most used Unique Item. This is likely a result of its usefulness while leveling as well as being fairly cheap and easy to obtain. Continuing down the list, we can see Spreading Rot, making a showing thanks to the power of Essence Drain and Contagion in Legion encounters. The rest of the uniques here are generic leveling uniques, though quite a few of them are attack-based uniques. Warlord's Reach makes a showing; likely due to it being a quest reward and the high amount of players leveling with attack builds.

Top 10 Uniques (All levels)

  • Tabula Rasa
  • Spreading Rot
  • Blackheart
  • Wanderlust
  • Karui Ward
  • Wurm's Molt
  • Goldrim
  • Warlord's Reach
  • Belt of the Deceiver
  • Daresso's Salute

As we move into early maps, we see that Tabula Rasa and Spreading Rot hold strong in popularity. We're not quite at the point where players have the currency to replace a Tabula just yet. Atziri's Promise makes a showing now, likely because it requires level 68 to use and it is an all-around good flask. Lion's Roar jumps into the fray suddenly - but why? It's likely because of the higher cost of the flask relative to most of the unique items we've previously looked at. The two main surprises here are both The Overflowing Chalice and Rotgut.

Top 10 Uniques - Level 70+

  • Tabula Rasa
  • Spreading Rot
  • Atziri's Promise
  • Lion's Roar
  • Daresso's Salute
  • Warlord's Reach
  • Belt of the Deceiver
  • Starkonja's Head
  • The Overflowing Chalice
  • Rotgut

As characters reach level 90, we start to see the most used uniques consisting of high power uniques, some of which are unaffordable at lower levels (generally). New top-tens here include Lethal Pride, Devoto's Devotion (because Movement Speed) and Belly of the Beast. Lethal Pride just never has downsides, so its popularity isn't much of a surprise. Belly of the Beast is a fairly affordable body armour that offers great defenses, so seeing it show up just inside the top ten is somewhat expected.

Top 10 Uniques - Level 90+

  • Lion's Roar
  • Spreading Rot
  • Atziri's Promise
  • Daresso's Salute
  • Lethal Pride
  • Starkonja's Head
  • Tabula Rasa
  • Devoto's Devotion
  • Belt of the Deceiver
  • Belly of the Beast

Looking at maps run, we can see Glacier at the top. Thanks to Legion encounters wanting as much open space as possible, Glacier has become a very popular map, especially for players that are focussing on farming Legions as quickly as possible. Alleyways is just behind, likely because of its valuable Divination Card drop; The Saint's Treasure. Burial Chambers still remains fairly popular, thanks to The Doctor and the extremely high value of Headhunter.

Top Ten Maps by Number Run

  • Glacier
  • Alleyways
  • Burial Chambers
  • Desert
  • Arid Lake
  • Haunted Mansion
  • Armoury
  • Ivory Temple
  • Thicket
  • Ashen Wood

Top Five White Maps

  • Glacier
  • Alleyways
  • Burial Chambers
  • Desert
  • Arid Lake

Top Five Yellow Maps

  • Atoll
  • Primordial Pool
  • Mud Geyser
  • Spider Forest
  • Promenade

Top Five Red Maps

  • Caldera
  • Acid Caverns
  • Summit
  • Lair
  • Desert Spring

As for areas with the highest amounts of deaths, Glacier is likely at the top just because of the sheer amount of times it has been run. The boss is fairly straightforward, but Legions are dangerous. Combine dangerous Legion encounters with fairly low-life characters and you've got a recipe for death. Kitava (in The Feeding Trough) continues to claim many victims. The Azurite Mine includes all areas within Delve, and with the ability to push to content that is as difficult as you can handle, it isn't too surprising to see plenty of deaths here.

Top Ten Areas by Deaths

  • Glacier
  • The Feeding Trough
  • Azurite Mine
  • Desert
  • Alleyways
  • Ivory Temple
  • The Chamber of Innocence
  • The Blood Aqueduct
  • Burial Chambers
  • City Square

Overall, while some of these statistics are expected, it's been a very interesting league to watch play out. Legions have affected quite a bit; Glacier being the most run map and Essence Drain's renewed popularity being the two most noteworthy results. How will we see these statistics change by this time in the next league? We'll just have to wait and find out!

have a rep
the area's sorted by deaths makes me smile!
Delirium ended...
But the Voices never did.
I really hope low level farming being so incredibly cost effective vs high end farming will be addressed in 3.8.

I understand casual players need a way to make money but not to the extent that it is numerically superior than most end game content.

I’d love to know what percentage of players have finished the Zana quest line

Never tried glacier. Would probably drive me nuts.
It will convert your forum titles into decorative square badges that use the space next to your forum posts more economically so that you can show off an unlimited number of them at any one time. - GGG, 2018 (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3573673)

Why is some fucking white tier map one of the best wealth generating mehtods in every league? Those glaciers etc shouldn't even be yellow imo. They should be red, so that you actually need a solid character to profit there, instead of the 3 k life of whatever bow chars with tornado shot.

Haven't farmed glacier or any of those maps at all. Sounds boring af. Imagine that being your whole gameplay.... /yawn ... and for what? So you can buy a HH and farm more lol? Why? xD
Quit after Legion, rejoined PoE to see what the game's like now in 3.12.

Awesome! Are we going to need a PhD in astrophysics too understand the next league after this mechanically simple one? We'll just have to wait and find out!
