Path of Exile 2 fans, it is time to get excited. Grinding Gear Games has finally given us a peek at the next big update, and it is called The Last of the Druids. As the name suggests, we are getting a proper Druid class – something players have been asking for forever. A true nature-based shapeshifter is a fresh change for Wraeclast’s grim world. Every time a new class drops, it usually lands with a unique weapon type that shapes its gameplay. While nothing’s confirmed, the community is already throwing ideas around. Could it be massive two-handed axes for a brutal bear form? Or maybe mystical staves tied to ancient rituals? No one knows yet, but the hype is real. For gamers who like to plan ahead, having the right PoE 2 Currency ready could make the first days of the league even more fun.
  The first proper look at all this is just around the corner. The big reveal for patch 0.4 is happening live on December 4 at 11:00 AM PST. That is our best shot at seeing the Druid in action – new skills, shapeshifts, maybe even the weapon choice. One week later, on December 11, the league actually begins. If you are curious but still on the fence, GGG has planned a free-to-play weekend from December 12 to December 15. You will be able to jump in on PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox without paying a penny. It is an open invitation to try the game’s complex skill systems without committing upfront.
  The beauty of this free weekend is that it’s not throwaway progress. Any XP you earn, gear you find, or levels you gain will stick with you. If you choose to buy into early access after the weekend or simply wait until the official free-to-play launch, your character will still be there. It is a proper head start compared to most free trials, and that means you get the thrill of the opening rush without losing steam later. You can dive deep into the new mechanics before the league gets crowded.
  For those new to Path of Exile, the league format is worth knowing. The Last of the Druids should run for around four months, which is standard. Once a league wraps up, every character you made gets moved into the permanent Standard league. All your loot, levels, and builds carry over. It is a clever cycle – players get fresh challenges every league but still keep the work they put in. So if you plan to make the most out of this update, it might be worth checking out u4gm poe to get a boost before diving in.
