When consumed at The Reliquary Vault, a new area on the Endgame Map, it grants you access to a vault with a chest that drops a special foil version of a Unique item selected by our supporters! They can contain any Unique found in Path of Exile 2, though if the selected item is a Pinnacle Boss drop then only special keys dropped by the relevant content will be able to provide these items. The Twilight Reliquary currently has 453 options for foiled Unique items that it can yield.

The Cruel version of Candlemass' Essence now provides 5% increased Life (previously 8%).

Modifiers to curse effect have been changed to instead apply to curse magnitude. This means that they are additive with any other modifiers to the effect of the debuff on the target. For example, curse magnitude and slow magnitude are now additive with each other for Temporal Chains.
