Path of Exile: What Should You Complete Before the Allflame League Ends

Path of Exile's Curse of the Allflame Challenge League is entering its final days. With the current league scheduled to end on November 9, 2026, players have limited time to finish their remaining challenges, unlock exclusive cosmetic rewards, and complete any unfinished goals before the next league begins.

The Allflame league has been running since July 24, bringing its deep-sea exploration content, Allflame crafting, and other gameplay changes to Path of Exile 1. Now, with the next expansion, Covens of Umbra, scheduled for November 13, players should start deciding how to spend their remaining time.

Whether you are close to completing all 40 challenges or simply want to make the most of your current character, here are the most important things to finish before Allflame ends.

Quick Answer: What Should You Finish Before November 9?

If you only have a few days left, prioritize the following activities:

• Complete enough challenges to unlock your next Allflame cosmetic reward.
• Finish any remaining league-specific objectives you still want to experience.
• Use your current character to complete unfinished Atlas and endgame goals.
• Review your equipment, valuable items, and crafting projects.
• Prepare a new character and league starter plan for Covens of Umbra.

The most time-sensitive task is completing the seasonal challenges. Once the Allflame Challenge League ends, you cannot continue earning its challenge rewards.

Complete Allflame Challenges and Unlock Exclusive Rewards

The 3.29 Curse of the Allflame Challenge League features 40 challenges, with four free cosmetic rewards available at specific milestones. These rewards are particularly important for players who enjoy collecting league-exclusive cosmetics.

Here is the reward progression:

Completing challenges also grants pieces of the Allflame Challenger Trophy Hideout Decoration.

Players do not need to complete all 40 challenges to unlock every major cosmetic reward. The final reward milestone is reached at 36 challenges, leaving four additional challenges beyond that threshold.

This makes checking your current progress especially important. If you already have 30 challenges completed, for example, reaching 32 or 36 may be a more realistic goal than attempting to finish everything before the deadline.

A good strategy is to prioritize challenges that are nearly complete or require activities you already understand. Avoid spending too much time on difficult objectives without first checking how many additional challenges you need for the next reward.

Ruthless players have different reward thresholds. The four cosmetic rewards are unlocked at 2, 4, 6, and 8 completed challenges respectively.

If you are interested in the Allflame cosmetic collection, make sure you reach the required milestones before the league closes.

Finish Your Remaining Allflame Content

The end of a challenge league is also a good opportunity to experience content you may have postponed during the season.

Allflame introduced a deep-sea exploration experience built around the ship Sovereign, with Charts and Voyages taking players into underwater encounters. The league also features Allflame crafting and its associated rewards.

If you have not spent much time exploring these activities, consider revisiting them before November 9.

You can focus on the following goals:

Complete unfinished Voyages and explore the encounters available through your remaining Charts.

Make use of the Allflame crafting opportunities you still want to experience.

Collect valuable rewards from activities you have not fully explored.

Test different equipment combinations and character setups.

There is little reason to rush through every available activity simply because the league is ending. Instead, focus on the content that offers something meaningful to your current character.

Players who have already completed their seasonal challenges can use this time to experiment with different builds or tackle endgame encounters they previously skipped.

Review Your Equipment and Spend Currency Wisely

The final days of Allflame are also a reasonable time to review your character's equipment and remaining currency.

If your build still struggles with damage, survivability, or specific encounters, identify the biggest weakness before investing in another upgrade. A well-chosen equipment improvement can make a noticeable difference when completing difficult endgame content.

However, spending all your remaining currency is not necessary.

Remember that Allflame and Covens of Umbra have separate challenge league economies. Currency and equipment from your current character will not provide a starting advantage in the new challenge league.

If you intend to continue playing your existing character in Standard after Allflame ends, valuable equipment and crafting materials may still be useful there.

Players who are preparing for a fresh start should instead focus on understanding the early progression requirements of their preferred build. Having a clear idea of which items are essential can make the opening days of a new league much easier.

For players who want to finish their current equipment setup, managing PoE Currency carefully is more useful than making last-minute purchases without a clear upgrade goal.

Prepare for Path of Exile 3.30: Covens of Umbra

Allflame is approaching its conclusion, but the next Path of Exile expansion is already on the calendar.

Grinding Gear Games has confirmed the following schedule:

The next expansion is titled Covens of Umbra. Its full details are being revealed at ExileCon 2026, giving players an opportunity to learn about the upcoming changes before starting a new character.

Rather than locking yourself into a particular build too early, pay attention to the official announcement and subsequent patch notes.

Skill balance changes, item adjustments, and endgame updates can all influence which builds are suitable for a fresh league start.

Players should also consider what they enjoyed most during Allflame. If you prefer fast mapping, boss encounters, or a more relaxed progression style, those preferences can help narrow down your next build choices.

Four days separate the end of Allflame from the launch of 3.30. Use that transition period to review the new information and prepare for the next challenge league.

Final Thoughts

The final days of the Curse of the Allflame Challenge League are a good time to finish unfinished goals and collect rewards that will no longer be available through the active seasonal challenges.

Prioritize the 12, 24, 32, and 36 challenge milestones, complete the Allflame activities you still want to experience, and review your current character before the league ends on November 9.

With Covens of Umbra arriving on November 13, there is also a new adventure just around the corner. Make the most of your remaining time in Allflame, then get ready for another fresh start in Path of Exile.
