Path of Exile: Incursion FAQ

Next league for Path Of Exile, Incursion will allow players to travel back in time to defeat an ancient Vaal. As with any new league in PoE, community bombarded Grinding Gear Games with questions, that's why today guys from New Zealand released an FAQ. 

The Aztec themed league will set players for the search of Alva Valai an adventurer searching for the ancient temple of Atzoatl and only travelling back in time can reveal its location. Alva will send players back to when the temple was still under construction to learn its layout and location. Those temporal incursions are brief but can be extended by killing monsters inside the shrine. During your stay in the past, you can kill Vaal Architects and influence what rooms will be available in the present-day temple. 

PoE has had some really impressive and unique league mechanics but this time GGG have really outdone themselves, no wonder this addition raises lots of questions, that is why an FAQ was released. From it, you can learn details on things like Alva spawning location and time, a number of incursions required to reveal the location of the temple, pyramid upgrades and modifications and possible drops. 

Some examples: 
 

Do you only earn items once you've completed the whole Temple?

You'll get a fountain of items at the end of each Incursion and, if you're careful with your Temple upgrading, you can earn some very valuable rewards from the final Temple. It's a Treasure Temple, after all!

Do your map mods affect your Incursions and final Temple?

When you open a map, your Incursion will be affected by all of the mods of that map. The final Temple has its own game instance and will not inherit any map mods, because it gets its mods from the rooms it contains. 

For example, if your map has "Players are cursed with Vulnerability", then the players in the that map's Incursion will be cursed by Vulnerability. If it has 30% Pack Size, then the Incursion packs will be 30% larger. If it has "Monsters have 100% quantity of items found", it will cause the item fountain at the end of your Incursion to drop more items.
