Patch:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3611708

- Campaign bosses killed after the first kill will now drop less currency items, replacing them with other items.
- Increased the drop rate of Regal Orbs.
- Significantly increased the drop rate of Gemcutter's Prisms.
- A single Gemcutter's Prism also improves the Quality of a Skill Gem by +5% (previously +1%).
- Lowered the drop rate of Chaos Orbs and distributed it amongst the other more valued
- Currency Items (Like Regal Orbs, Exalted Orbs).
- Lowered the drop rate of Artificer's Orbs and distributed it to Lesser Jeweller's Orbs.
- Disenchanting Rare Items with 6 Modifiers now provides 2 Regal Shards (previously 1). The value displayed will still show as 1 until a later patch.
- Increased the values of all Prefix Modifiers that can roll on Waystones. We've also adjusted the chances of getting the more commonly powerful Modifiers such as increases to Rarity and Pack Size.
- Monster Modifiers now grant higher amounts of Item Rarity and Item Quantity. This is most common on Magic and Rare enemies, but also affects Unique Enemies if applied through various Endgame Mechanics like the Deadly Evolution Keystone.
- Increased the chance for Rare Monsters in Maps to have 3 or 4 modifiers.
- Rare Monsters in Map areas are now revealed on the minimap when there are 200 Monsters remaining (previously 50).
- Fixed a bug where some Persistent Buff Skills, such as Raging Spirits and Mana Remnants, were not working for the Infernalist when in Demon Form.
- Fixed a bug where you could sometimes be unable to interact with the Map Device in The Ziggurat Refuge.
- Fixed a bug where Monsters Shattered in a Blood Circle Ultimatum Encounter were not contributing blood.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the instance to permanently stop time (freeze) when trying to revive a Chronomancer.
- Fixed a bug where Rare Monsters could not be found within the Chimeral Wetlands.
- Fixed a bug where "Move only" was name-locking.
- Fixed three instance crashes.
- Fixed a client crash.

value of spirit gear would instantly plummet if they gave you the spirit that YOURE SUPPOSED TO HAVE ACCESS TO

Having read the forums ..yeah this is going exactly how I thought it would.

Like Blizzard they are holding onto the firm belief they know better than the players and "You think you do but you don't" mentality from them is pretty clear.

The biggest peeve is map resets on death .. its such an asinine mechanic just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ why. POE1 doesn't have nor did it need this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ so why have it here, why even bring it to the game.

I can deal with all the other horrible QOL ♥♥♥♥ but resets on death is just utter troll game mechanic behaviour.

here is another little bonus to the map resets. .you know that shiny red item that dropped .. yeah you had better not die to cheese before you can go grab it or poof its gone.

as if the game wasn't annoying and loot stingy enough already.
