veiled modifier betrayal league path of exile

You must speak to Jun to unveil these items, one time unveiled they will give y'all the option for 3 different craft modifiers. Unveiled a mod will requite you experience towards unlocking it as a crafting recipe for your crafting demote.

How to Obtain Veiled Items

Veiled items can be obtained from Syndicate members, they can also driblet from other league specific chests in places like Heist. Sure veil crafts can just be establish from specific Immortal Syndicate members. Check out the full list of exclusive mods here.

Setting Up Your Syndicate For Profit

Betrayal is extremely profitable, yous don't necessarily take to optimize your syndicate lath to make currency, merely if you lot do, this will probably the almost efficient way.

The Basics

Before we start let'southward merely cover a few things:

  • It That Fled in Research is the nearly profitable of all
  • There must only be two members in Research & Intervention at all times
  • "Rivalry" is better than "Trusted"
  • The board must not comprise any "jobless" members
  • Removing "jobless" members is a priority
  • We never run Transportation or Fortification safehouses once the setup is complete

Rivalry or Friendly

Nosotros don't desire any neutral characters as they give the states less take a chance to run across people. Rivalry allows you to rank up characters by betraying others. Trusted allows you to rank upwards entire factions at the toll of demoting another faction.

The Theory

Essentially we are just going to juggle the Research and Intervention members, every time you complete a safehouse the leader will exist imprisoned, if at that place is already a jobless member they can automatically take the leader function, this is why we must ensure we practice not have any jobless members. If there are no jobless members the member in the faction volition assume the role, your mastermind bar should be full so any leader imprisoned will automatically be released and yous volition exist able to get them straight back to the faction on the next map.

The Setup

The setup we need is to have It That Fled in Research and either Vorici or Tora (Leo is ok only with Harvest cadre, he is non worth as much), we demand two of these people in Intervention: Gravicius, Vagan, Cameria or Tora. Every other master in the encounter must be in either Transportation or Fortification.

How to Achieve the Setup

In order to achieve the desired setup, we must practise iv things.

Pace 1: Revealing The Safehouses

So the first matter we want to do is to reveal all the safehouses ASAP so we can start edifice our relationships between members, the leaders of each safehouse cannot develop a relationship unless they are removed from the leader position.

Stride 2: Developing the Relationships

Next, yous're going to want to run the Syndicate encounters and continuously piece of work on establishing relationships between the members using the "Rivalry" & "Trusted" mechanics until you go the correct members that y'all need for the gear up into the syndicate. The style to do this is to kick current members out of the syndicate and they'll exist replaced past a new random ane from the remaining pool.

Step 3: Getting the Setup Gear up

At this point you should take all the members you desire in your setup, you now need to shift them into position call back you only need TWO in Enquiry & Intervention, shift everyone else into Transportation and Fortification & level them all upwardly to level 3, from now on we don't run any Transportation and Fortification hideouts.

Stride 4: Avert Bricking Your Setup

There are 3 unlike ways to brick your setup they are as follows:

  • Fighting The Mastermind – It completely resets your board
  • Resetting a relationship between members to "Neutral"
  • Betray option "Remove All Rivalries" – only sentinel and don't autoclick this 1

Avoid doing the above and simply keep creating more than rivalries and trusted relationships and you should exist good to become, enjoy your easy currency.

The Mastermind

In one case y'all've collected plenty intelligence, you lot'll be allowed to enter The Mastermind's Lair, here you'll run across Catarina, The Master of Death.

Annotation: Some people consummate skip The Mastermind every bit once you defeat her your syndicate board will completely reset and you'll have to set it up all over once again.

Betrayal Ultimatum Changes 3.14

As of iii.14, Ultimatum has since upgraded Expose league, fighting and defeating the Mastermind at present causes all syndicate members to give a special Tier 4 reward in their safety-houses, these are VERY powerful and make the Mastermind actually pretty good to farm.

Veiled Modifier Changes

These are excerpts from the official Path of Exile patch notes:

  • "Modifiers that are unveiled through Jun are now more powerful than before. Previously, when an particular was unveiled, the veiled modifier added to the item would be equal to the highest tier modifier available on the Crafting Bench."
  • "You will still obtain progress towards unlocking the craftable versions of these veiled modifiers, however, progress towards unlocking craftable versions of these modifiers is at present slightly faster and many crafts have had their worst tier removed."
  • "The weighting of Veiled modifiers has been rebalanced in a way that makes modifiers exclusive to 1 or two types of equipment more common, while modifiers that can announced on a wider range of equipment types are rarer."

What does this hateful for Betrayal?

This means that Aisling may be the new moneymaker in Path of Exile's Expose mechanic, at tier 4 she GUARANTEES one tier 1 veiled modifier slam onto an item, these no longer count as "Crafted" modifiers, which means you will exist able to go a selection of 3 potentially powerful modifiers and still be able to craft more than on your detail.
