On June 13th, the much-anticipated Mercenaries of Trarthus league kicks off, bringing along the exciting Secrets of the Atlas Expansion! To gear you up for the challenges ahead, Maxroll has unveiled a treasure trove of updates including a state-of-the-art PoEPlanner tool, fresh league starters, and brilliant new enhancements to existing builds.

Introducing Mercenaries of Trarthus

In this exhilarating challenge league, players will encounter unique Mercenaries in each zone, each boasting distinctive personalities, skills, and gear. Look out for the rare 'Infamous' Mercenaries who possess superior loot. Engaging with these characters opens up thrilling build possibilities that are sure to redefine your gameplay!

Defeat for Riches!

Players have two exciting choices when battling these Mercenaries. First, the 'Hire' option allows you to pay upfront gold to recruit a Mercenary into your team. After their defeat, they fight alongside you, ready for item swaps or revival without item loss!

Alternatively, the 'Take Item' option allows players to claim one of the Mercenary's items upon their demise – including valuable currencies! Some Mercenaries even drop exclusive 'Of Trathus' Skill Gems, adding further depth to strategizing your approach.
