What Is The Necropolis League Mechanic?

Rearranging the Lantern of Armor monsters in the map device in Path of Exile

There are three ways to look into Path of Exile's Necropolis season.

Lantern of Arimor

Every time you enter a map, you'll see a pop-up window that shows random monster packs with random monster modifiers (Lantern of Arimor). The modifiers on these monster packs add either difficulty or loot to your runs.

However, the monster packs become significantly more dangerous through added monster modifiers. If the wrong modifiers hit the strongest pack of monsters, and you aren't aware enough to rearrange them, you'll encounter big problems when you start clearing the map.

It is so dangerous that even hardcore players will always look at the modifiers before thinking if they should either rearrange the modifiers to specific packs or skip the map or instance in its entirety.

Overall, The Lantern of Arimor gives players a pseudo-buff to their drop rates when eliminating mobs. Applying various Allflame Embers can turn those bad modifiers into manageable ones while having the possibility of increasing loot drops too.

You are always looking for modifiers that increase your quantity or rarity of items for a specific monster pack.

Undertaker Arimor's Necropolis

When you start finishing content like maps or the campaign, you'll come across random corpses you can collect. These corpses have some crafting modifiers, which is a bit confusing because thousands of crafting combinations are available in the game.

These corpses are ingredients for crafting high-quality gear in Undertaker Arimor's Necropolis. Once you have collected enough corpses, you can talk to Undertaker Arimor, and he'll take you to the Necropolis.

While in the Necropolis, you'll see several graves around. If you interact with them, you'll have the option to put some of the corpses you have collected. Choose the right combination of corpses and then click Craft. The Tome of Arimor will show up, and you'll have the choice of what base item to use in your crafting method.

Once you have chosen one, it'll exorcise all the corpses from the graves and craft an item with slightly skewed stats based on the crafting modifiers used from the corpses.

The Nameless Seer

Nameless Seer's selection of unique items  in Path of Exile

The Nameless Seer is only here because of how, sometimes, it could give you that huge dopamine hit everyone is looking for in Path of Exile. He is an NPC that randomly shows up in your maps to offer you one free item and some Path of Exile currency from a selection of unique.

It is a bit reminiscent of how the rituals could sometimes show a list of unique items to purchase with favors. However, the Nameless Seer has a slight bias toward offering rarer items and cheap Path of Exile currency. You can get one of the strongest and most expensive uniques from him, such as a Mageblood or a Headhunter.

The only problem is its abysmal spawn rate, but there are ways to increase this:

Using Reliquary Scarabs of Vision will guarantee the Nameless Seer to spawn in your map.
