Path of Exile Patch 3.28: Mirage League Brings Major Quality-of-Life Upgrades

The upcoming Mirage League in Path of Exile is shaping up to be one of the most player-focused updates yet. With Patch 3.28, Grinding Gear Games is introducing a series of quality-of-life improvements, campaign enhancements, and trade system refinements that aim to streamline gameplay across the board.

From currency exchange upgrades to new landmark rooms scattered throughout the campaign, Mirage League is not just another seasonal reset - it's a meaningful evolution of the Path of Exile experience.

Here's everything you need to know about the biggest changes coming in Path of Exile: Mirage.

Currency Exchange Improvements in Mirage League

Since the introduction of the currency exchange in 3.24, the system has been closely monitored and refined based on community feedback. In Mirage League, it receives two significant upgrades designed to make trading faster and more intuitive.

Favourite Trades: One-Click Currency Swaps

Players can now favourite trades on the currency exchange. This feature allows you to:

·Select two currencies you frequently trade between

·Save them as a favourite pair

·Access them instantly when opening the exchange

Favourite trades will automatically appear when you open the currency exchange interface. Even better, the system will still auto-suggest exchange ratios based on recent trade data, helping players stay aligned with the live economy.

For high-volume traders dealing in Chaos Orbs, Divine Orbs, or other staple currencies, this dramatically reduces friction - especially during league start when players rush to buy POE Currency to accelerate early build progression.

Stash Access While Trading

Another major improvement is the ability to open and interact with your stash while the currency exchange window remains open. Previously, players had to close the exchange to adjust inventory or pull additional currency from storage.

Previously, adjusting inventory or pulling additional currency meant closing the trade window entirely. This update eliminates unnecessary steps, making bulk trading of crafting materials and high-value Path of Exile Items far smoother.

Campaign Enhancements: 20+ New Landmark Rooms

Grinding Gear Games has also continued its mission to improve the campaign experience. Since Patch 3.24, developers have focused on refreshing the leveling journey, and Patch 3.28 continues that effort.

Mirage League introduces over 20 new landmark rooms scattered throughout all ten acts of Wraeclast.

These new additions include:

·Hidden side passages

·Unexpected encounter rooms

·Unique chest areas

·Reward-driven combat zones

Most of these additions are intended to be discovered organically. However, one example has already been revealed.

New Karui Fortress Island

In the Karui Fortress, players will now find a small central island populated by enemies that drop a basic tattoo when slain.

This subtle addition adds extra incentive to explore and clear optional areas. Tattoos have become a meaningful source of character customization, and even basic variants can provide early progression value.

By adding surprise elements to familiar zones, Mirage League keeps the campaign fresh without overhauling its structure.

Divination Card Turn-In Quality-of-Life Changes

Divination card farming remains one of the most popular loot strategies in Path of Exile. Mirage League improves the hand-in process with automation features.

When you trade in a full set of divination cards:

·The reward will now automatically be granted

·If you immediately turn in another set, the previous reward transfers directly to your inventory

·This occurs automatically if sufficient inventory space is available

This change eliminates repetitive clicks and speeds up bulk hand-ins, especially for players farming stacked decks or specific high-value card sets.

Labyrinth Font Craft Improvements

The Labyrinth also receives a targeted upgrade.

Previously, Labyrinth Font crafts that granted a random transfigured gem offered little control over outcomes. Now, players can choose which transfigured gem of that type they want to receive.

This dramatically improves build planning. Instead of gambling for the right transfigured skill, players can now directly select the gem that complements their setup.

For endgame optimization and niche builds, this is a significant buff to Labyrinth rewards.

Improved Trade History Visibility

The asynchronous trade item sale history has also been updated.

Players can now hover over past sales to see full item descriptions of what was sold. This small but meaningful change makes it easier to:

·Track pricing trends

·Review high-value sales

·Monitor crafted item performance

For players actively flipping items or selling crafted gear, this added transparency is invaluable.

Divine Orb Clarity: Know What You're Rerolling

Divine Orbs are among the most valuable currencies in Path of Exile. In Mirage League, players will now be able to see exactly which modifiers can be randomized when using a Divine Orb.

This reduces uncertainty and helps players make informed decisions before committing high-value currency to reroll stats.

It's a simple UI clarification - but one that directly impacts economic efficiency.

Ritual System Updates

The Ritual mechanic also receives several upgrades in Patch 3.28.

Glowing Ritual Icon for Unspent Tribute

The ritual icon will now glow if:

·All rituals in an area are complete

·You have significant unspent tribute remaining

A pop-up notification will also appear after the final ritual is completed, ensuring players don't accidentally leave value behind.

Quick-Use Vessels

Players can now quickly use Vessels on completed rituals, streamlining the process of capturing and storing valuable encounters.

These improvements make Ritual farming more intuitive and reduce missed opportunities.

Shrine Interaction Priority Update

One of the most frustrating gameplay moments has finally been addressed.

If you've ever tried to click a Divine Shrine surrounded by enemies and struggled to target it correctly, Mirage League fixes this.

Shrines now take interaction priority over monsters when clicking overlapping areas. This ensures you can reliably activate shrine buffs even during chaotic combat.

It's a small fix - but one that improves moment-to-moment gameplay feel.

Mirage League: A Focus on Player Experience

Mirage League isn't about a single flashy mechanic. Instead, Patch 3.28 focuses on:

·Trade efficiency

·Campaign variety

·UI clarity

·Reward transparency

·Interaction improvements

These changes collectively reduce friction across nearly every stage of gameplay.

From smoother currency exchange to better Labyrinth rewards and smarter ritual notifications, the update demonstrates a continued commitment to refining Path of Exile's core systems.

To discover the full list of changes and detailed breakdowns of new mechanics, players can tune into the official livestream on February 26th.

With Mirage League, Path of Exile continues to evolve - not by reinventing itself, but by polishing the systems players use every day.

If Patch 3.28 is any indication, Mirage League will deliver one of the smoothest and most refined league launches in recent memory.
