The Newest Path of Exile League: Settlers of Kalguur 3.25
The newest Path of Exile League, Settlers of Kalguur 3.25, launches today! We've updated the guides on our sister site, PoE Vault, to ensure that Exiles are well-prepared to help Kalguuran pioneers build the town of Kingsmarch and establish trade between Wraeclast and their homeland.

The Settlers of Kalguur Challenge League
In the Settlers of Kalguur Challenge League, you’ll come across familiar faces from the Expedition league: Dannig, Rog, Tujen, and Gwennen. They are on a mission to gather resources in Wraeclast to initiate town construction and establish a shipping trade route to Kalguur. To aid in this endeavor, they have enlisted numerous characters from Wraeclast, some of whom you might recognize. However, they also need the assistance of a powerful Exile like yourself. This Path of Exile July expansion introduces the Settlers of Kalguur challenge league with the following:
A New Trade Market System for Currency Many Changes to the Endgame Changes to Tier 17 Maps New Bosses Additions to the Campaign A lot of Quality-of-Life features Reworked Endgame New Supporter Packs For more information, please head over to the PoE Vault Settlers of Kalguur League Hub.

Recommended Builds for the Settlers of Kalguur League
We’d like to give you a few recommendations of what we believe to be some of the strongest league starter builds (although any build tagged as a League Starter and updated for 3.25 is a very solid choice).
CasualDanPoe’s - Minion Army Necromancer is a cheap league starter that will enable you to farm tier 16 maps on a budget. Fast, deadly, with a lot of quality-of-life features. If you’d like to feel like a General of an Undead Army, then try out this league starter and you’re not going to be disappointed. BalorMage’s - Poison Summon Raging Spirits Necromancer is going to be one of the best minion builds of Trial of the Ancestors. This build excels in not only getting your maps clear, but it’s an excellent boss killer. With the new Atlas bosses, this build will not let you down and is described as the most OP minion build of the league. GhazzyTV’s - Zoomancer Necromancer proved itself last League. Having your own army of minions doing all the work for you! Giving good clear speed and consistent bossing damage, the build is perfect for both beginners and veterans alike and a solid league starter choice.
GhazzyTV’s – Dominating Blow Necromancer is an insanely strong league start ability offering a lot of variations for the end game. Thanks to the straightforward design of the ability, we can tweak this build into some pretty juicy defensive styles, allowing it to be a solid first choice for starting a league in Hardcore as well! GhazzyTV’s – Holy Relic Guardian is a very strong minion build that requires very few items to work well. Unlike most summoner builds, Holy Relic plays very differently and it offers a different way of playing summoner. This is a very strong league starter on a budget. TbXie’s Lightning Strike Warden is a well-versed build guide that focuses on durability as well as damage. It has a pretty forgiving entry point and requires almost no gear whilst still providing you with enough potential upgrades to give you a sense of progression. TbXie’s – Cyclone Slayer offers incredibly clear speed and an old overlapping style of scaling its damage to the point where it becomes an absolute powerhouse. For players who like to blast through the game on a budget and want a build that is expandable with an acceptable amount of currency and incredible returns, this is a one-of-a-kind build. TbXie’s – Hexblast Miner Saboteur is a build for you if you've ever wanted to build a miner that does not feel clunky. This build is an insane and obscene powerhouse in the late game but does well for a League Starter also. Pohx’s - Righteous Fire Chieftain has been a staple of the last league starts and solo self-found alike. Righteous Fire has been a true Path of Exile staple since the skill gem was introduced. The concept of running through maps while hordes of monsters die around you is a true Power Fantasy. Pohx’s - Righteous Fire Juggernaut version can easily hold its own. Juggernaut has a much easier time getting the defensive layers online. Also, no need for anything complex as this build is great for first-timers since your main defensive layers come from Armour stacking. If you're new to Righteous Fire, this version is excellent for you.
Velyna’s - Tornado Inquisitor is the build for players who like to harness the elements and unleash them to seek and destroy. Sending out Tornadoes that will chase any nearby enemies. A relaxed play style with high mobility and safety. Velyna’s Explosive Concoction Ascendant is an absolute beast for endgame bossing. The build synergizes very well as a League starter till end game. It has high levels of damage and survivability, giving massive sustain through Life Gain on Hit. A solid league starter with good potential for the end game. Velyna’s Ground Slam Slayer is a strong League Starter not requiring expensive uniques or heavy crafting to kill bosses early, and this remains true today. If you want to cruise through the acts into the endgame quickly and easily, this is the build for you. PoEVault’s – Ice Shot Deadeye is an excellent league starter and requires very little investment to start rolling over maps and bosses. Due to the range and nature of Ice Shot, even content that outstrips your current character or power level can be easily approached at a distance and eliminated. A very good recommended bow build for this League. PoEVault’s – Boneshatter Juggernaut is not the fastest build, but it is sturdy and it smacks things with its big stick. It is one of the very few viable “true melee” builds left in the game and Juggernaut is a natural fit for Boneshatter as Juggernaut becomes a very tanky build. If you love a sturdy melee build, this is a very good league starter for you.

If you're thinking about getting into Path of Exile (it's free-to-play!) with this newest league, our mods are available to answer any of your questions, so please feel free to join their Discord.
We wish you an amazing league start.

This build brings very enjoyable clear speed as well as efficient bossing to the table. A solid League Starter.
TbXie’s - Hexblast Miner Saboteur plays like a miner but is less clunky than you would imagine and the AoE and clear speed make it feel more like a caster. If you’re looking for a solid league starter but also a build to invest later in, while feeling safe and doing insane numbers then this is the build for you. TbXie’s - Shockwave Totem Hierophant offers incredibly clear speed and an old overlapping style of scaling its damage to the point where it becomes an absolute powerhouse. For players who like to blast through the game on a budget and want a build that is expandable with an acceptable amount of currency and incredible returns, this is a one-of-a-kind build.

PoEVault - Lacerate Gladiator can reach similar heights on significantly less gear, and with a unique style and flair that few other melee skills have. This is partially because Lacerate is not really a true melee skill — in the end game, you will be able to obliterate packs nearly a full screen away. If you like a more melee style build, be sure to check this build out!
