Path of Exile Affliction League is all set to conclude on March 29th. The League will likely go offline before 10 AM PT on this date, which is when the 3.24 update (Path of Exile: Necropolis) is supposed to go live. Once this update rolls out, all your Affliction Challenge Leauge characters will be converted to non-Challenge Leauge characters.

With little time left on hand, players must start grinding more to acquire any league-specific rewards they've been eyeing. Fortunately, anything they acquire during the runtime for this league will not be taken away; it will ascend with them to the next league.

Path of Exile affliction mechanics

To collect everything the league currently offers, you must know about the game mechanics. Affliction in Path of Exile is a league mechanic that explores the Viridian Wildwoods and collects as many Wisps as possible. There are three types of Wisps that you can find in the Wildwoods: Primal, Wild, and Vivid. These Wisps can affect the monsters in the wood. You can gather as many blue wisps as possible to empower monsters and acquire rare items.

While Affliction can be used to increase your loot, it can also empower monsters to a point where they become unkillable and block you from exploring the Wildwood area. You must be careful while collecting wisps and create a sweet spot between not making the mosquitoes extremely potent and acquiring rare loot. Here is a list of all the wisps and their effects:

Vivid Wisps: These Wisps can cause an increase in the quantity of items dropped by monsters.

Wild Wisps: These Wisps increase the rarity of dropped items from monsters.

Primal Wisps: These Wisps can cause the monsters to drop more currency items.
