The Delve Stash Tab
Sep 11, 2019, 8:42:41 PM
Ever since the launch of the Delve expansion a year ago and after its implementation as a Path of Exile core mechanic in 3.5.0, we have received a lot of requests from our community to make Fossils and Resonators stackable, as well as to add a special Stash Tab for storing them. With Fossils and Resonators being able to stack in Path of Exile: Blight, we're happy to introduce the Delve Stash Tab that allows you to store each type of Fossils and Resonators in stacks of up to 5000. Check out the video or click here to get yours.

This particular cycle is an interesting one because of the presence of ExileCon (November 16-17), so we wanted to explain how it'll work timing-wise.
