Exiles, Path of Exile 3.27, "Keepers in the Flame," brings more than fiery battles—it changes how we approach one of the most important item types in the game: rings. For players aiming to get strong early in the league, the six new ring bases are the main targets. These rings—Cryonic, Enthalpic, Formless, Fugitive, Organic, and Synaptic—aren’t minor additions. They can form the foundation of new builds and unlock levels of power not possible before. Prioritizing these bases early can influence how you spend PoE 1 Currency and shape your crafting focus throughout the league.

Getting these rings requires engaging with the new Genesis Tree mechanic. The Genesis Tree is the only reliable source for Cryonic, Enthalpic, Formless, Fugitive, Organic, and Synaptic Rings. Simply running maps won’t be enough to gather them efficiently. Players need to work with the league’s core mechanics to consistently harvest these bases, making interaction with the Genesis Tree central to early-ring farming. This mechanic ensures that the early acquisition of rings is both strategic and repeatable.

The Genesis Tree also changes crafting potential. Beyond providing access to new ring bases, it lets players create high item level (ilvl) fractured items. Fractured items come with a locked implicit modifier, giving a solid starting point for further crafting. For example, a player could lock in a strong modifier on a Cryonic Ring before using other crafting tools. This opens the door to build-defining items that are far more powerful than ordinary drops or randomly modified items.

The Genesis Tree pairs perfectly with recombinator crafting. Recombinators allow players to merge two items, selectively combining their modifiers and sometimes their base types. By combining a new ring base from the Genesis Tree with a fractured modifier from another item, players can craft unique items that weren’t possible before. This expands the creative possibilities for PoE 3.27 players, letting them forge niche or high-powered rings that match specific builds. It turns ring crafting into a multi-step process that rewards both planning and experimentation.

The strategic hunt for these rings is more than just collection—it’s about leveraging the Genesis Tree to create high ilvl fractured items and maximize crafting efficiency. Early adopters who understand the system can combine base type selection, fracturing, and recombinator mechanics to craft truly powerful gear. Players who focus on these six ring bases first are best positioned to invest PoE 1 Currency for sale wisely and gain an early lead in the league.

In Keepers in the Flame, the priority is clear: target Cryonic, Enthalpic, Formless, Fugitive, Organic, and Synaptic Rings, engage with the Genesis Tree to maximize crafting potential, and use recombinators to combine modifiers strategically. This approach provides strong early progress, enables powerful custom items, and sets up characters for long-term success in PoE 3.27.
