Grinding Gear Games has released a new hefty patch for Path of Exile, improving some elements of the Metamorph League. There are also general fixes following the release of Conquerors of the Atlas which should ensure a smoother experience. It won’t stop the number of instant deaths afflicting you in end-game but very few things will at this point.

Patch 3.9.2b re-enables the Convert Maps button in the Map Stash Tab and allows for creating new instances of Tane’s Lab. Simply click on the World Map Pin while holding Ctrl to do so. Those frustrated with the progress of their Atlas will now have more quest information about when Watchstones will drop.

The Purifier’s Weapon Throw has seen a reduction in damage and area of effect, and performance while using Arctic Breath-supported Traps, Mines and Totems against large packs has been improved. If you took advantage of The Hungry Loop unique ring consuming Corrupted Support Gems, then that’s been fixed. Check out some of the patch notes below with full notes here.
