The league mechanic in Path of Exile is one of the coolest new mechanics added to the game with the Settlers of Kalguur update. You can utilize the game’s new league system to generate tons of valuable resources for yourself. These resources can then be used to get some very useful rewards.
In our guide, we will be looking at everything that you will need to know about the new league system in Path of Exile. With how many resources you can earn through the system, you will not want to miss out.
How The Settlers Of Kalguur League Mechanic Works
The league mechanic in this game allows you to manage and utilize all of the resource-generating NPCs found at Kingsmarch. Kingsmarch is a new location in Path of Exile that has been added to the game with the Settlers of Karguul update.
Using the NPCs found at Kingsmarch, you can generate tons of resources for yourself. As you progress through the game, you will be able to upgrade your league, allowing you to generate even more resources. Resources you gather can then be used to get amazing new rewards.
Overall, the league system introduces a lot of new things to the game, including an all-new currency. To fully understand how everything works, it’s important to look at them in more detail.
Gold
Before looking at how the League mechanic works in this game, it is important to understand what Gold is in Path of Exile. Gold is the primary currency that you will need to have on you to interact with almost anything in Kingsmarch, including the league system.
So, how do you get Gold in this game?
Like most other resources in this game, Gold is a regular item drop you can get from enemies or looting. You will need Gold for everything related to the league system in Path of Exile, so make sure you always have some on you.
Accessing & Managing Your League
As mentioned earlier, the league system is exclusive to the Kingsmarch location. So to get started, make your way to Kingsmarch. The League system allows you to take control of every major NPC in the settlement, giving you full control of the settlement.
When it comes to managing the NPCs, you can either go up to each of them individually or manage all of them together using Johan, The King’s Hand. You can find Johan at the northern corner of Kingsmarch. He will always be accessible at the same location.
Interacting with Johan will show you the menu seen in the image above. This menu shows you all of the resource-generating NPCs found in Kingsmarch. Additionally, it will also show you all of the resources you currently have on you.
Resources in the league system are generated in real-time. So even when you are not playing, the workers you have will automatically generate resources. Workers in this game will constantly require Gold to work, even when you are not in the game.
To make sure the workers always have the gold they need, you can deposit Gold into your league treasury. Remember to regularly deposit Gold into the treasury, as not having sufficient gold will halt the inflow of resources. For more on that, check out our guide on how to add gold to the treasury.
Recruiting & Assigning Workers
One of the main uses of Gold in the league system is recruiting workers. Hiring workers and refreshing the workers page will require a bit of Gold.
After you’ve hired a worker, you can assign them to one of the resource-generating tasks at Kingsmarch. An important thing to look at is the specialty of the workers you assign. Each worker in this game will specialize in a certain task. So for example, if you have a worker that specializes in farming, make sure you assign them to farming. It’s not necessary to use workers in their specialized field, but they will be more efficient this way.
Workers in this game will take an hourly wage for working.They will automatically get paid through the money you deposit into the league treasury. Do note that the workers will stop working if the money there runs out, so make sure you always have some money in the treasury.
Upgrading Your League
Eventually, you’ll be able to upgrade your league in Kingsmarch using Gold and a bunch of other materials. Upgrading certain tasks like shipping or mining will improve their efficiency and overall output.
You can upgrade these tasks by either going to each of them individually or through Johan.
Shipping
Resources you generate in Kingsmarch will have a number of different uses, with one of the most important ones being shipping. You can utilize shipping in Path of Exile by deploying shipments with the resources in your possession. Carrying out these shipments will allow you to earn some amazing rewards. As you upgrade your shipping, you will be able to carry out better shipments and get better rewards.
The rewards you earn through shipping will need to be claimed manually. For a detailed guide on how to claim your rewards,check out our guide on that.
Map Devices
One of the best ways to use workers in Kingsmarch is by using them to carry out missions. These missions can be carried out using the Map Devices feature.
Workers assigned to different maps will also require an hourly wage to work. It’s completely worth it though, as your workers can complete different maps for you, allowing you to earn all of the loot within them. You can assign a number of different workers to a set of maps.
So there you have it, a complete breakdown of how the league mechanic works in Settlers of Karguul. It’s important to remember that the league system is continuous. You can constantly upgrade it and make it better to generate more and more resources for yourself.
