- Fixed a bug where the Mastery for “20% increased Maximum Energy Shield if your Rings have Evasion Modifiers” and “40% increased Energy Shield Recharge Rate if your Amulet has an Evasion Modifier” were not correctly applying after changing areas.

- Fixed bug affecting some monster skills which could cause them to repeat on the server but not display in the client (notably the Vaal Fireball Spell Totem from Ungulath in Prisoner’s Gate).
- Fixed a bug in the Domain of Timeless Conflict Map where incorrect reward icons were displayed after killing reward monsters.
- Fixed an instance crash.
3.21.0c Hotfix 4

3.21.0c Hotfix 2

- Fixed a bug where completing Logbooks with at least 10 Remnants active would only grant credit towards the Expedition Excavation Challenge if the Logbook had an area level of 81 or higher.
- Fixed a bug where you could not click and drag items into the Forge of the Titans or the Antique Furnace.
- Fixed a bug where the client could freeze when interacting with the Forge of the Titans or the Antique Furnace in Controller Input mode.

3.21.0c Hotfix
- Added a 100ms cooldown to the Twister Skill that is triggered when using the Saqawal’s Flock Unique Helmet.
While we generally try to avoid mid-league balance adjustments, this skill was causing unsustainable server load and frequent crashes. We have assessed the balance of the skill with this cooldown and have found that it is still very powerful. The build that is using this skill is still capable of triggering twice as many Twisters as it could pre-Crucible, and this number goes even higher with investment into cooldown recovery and Triggerbots
3.21.0b Patch Notes
Crucible League Changes:
- Crucible monsters now have much less damage reduction, except when channeled to maximum difficulty.
- Crucible monsters now have less life at all levels, most notably in Part 2 of the campaign, and in low-tier Maps. In addition, Crucible Bosses have had their life further reduced by roughly 20%.
- Increased the amount of Crucible Passive Skill Tree experience gained from encounters, particularly for encounters that are not fully-channelled. This should result in smoother progression on the experience bar while channelling.
- Increased the drop rate of Igneous Geodes. Lower-tier Crucible monsters are now more likely to drop these. Note Geodes have a higher chance to drop in high-tier Maps, and their drop chance is affected by item quantity.
- Added a “Crucible Item” filter to the Miscellaneous filters section on the Path of Exile: Trade website.
Other Fixes:
- You can now dismiss the unclaimed Kirac’s Vault rewards notification with right-click. The notification will reappear when you earn a new reward, or when you next login.
- Fixed a bug where explosives in the Olroth, Origin of the Fall encounter were not destroying crystals.
- Fixed an instance crash.
- Fixed a client crash.
3.21.0 Hotfix 9
- Fixed a bug where it was possible to combine the Crucible Passive Skill Trees of a non-Unique Item and a Unique Item together in certain cases.
- Fixed a bug where it was still possible for critical strikes to inherently Ignite with the “Critical Strikes do not inherently Ignite” Fire Passive Skill Mastery allocated.
- Fixed a bug where critical strikes did not inherently Ignite.
- Fixed an instance crash.
3.21.0 Hotfix 8
- Temporarily disabled the “Flasks you Use apply to Linked Targets” modifier on the Ceinture of Benevolence Unique Belt.
3.21.0 Hotfix 7
- Fixed a bug where clicking the Unclaimed Vault Pass Rewards icon could sometimes disconnect you.

3.21.0 Hotfix 6
- Attempting to pick up a Kirac Pass Free Track item with a full inventory will no longer delete the item.
- Fixed a problem where Kirac Pass Free Track rewards were available in Private leagues and in Ruthless. We have kept them enabled in HC SSF Ruthless Crucible for this league in order to maintain fairness in the ongoing Boss Kill Event.
3.21.0 Hotfix 5
- Fixed a bug where Microtransactions awarded by the Paid Track of Kirac’s Vault had not been awarded correctly. They are fixed now.
3.21.0 Hotfix 4

- Fixed two more instance crashes.
3.21.0 Hotfix 3
- Fixed a bug where certain vendor recipes did not maintain an item’s Crucible Passive Skill Tree properly.

- Fixed some problems with the chat version of the Chaosborn Armour Set’s dialogue.
3.21.0 Hotfix 2
- Fixed three instance crashes.
3.21.0 Hotfix 1
