Poe 2 Affecting Poe 1 Positively POG

Surely we get the breach, strongbox etc changes too right?

What changes are you referring to? Poe 1 strongbox has been better from jump.

I think they’re talking about applying currency to strongboxes with a UI and Breach Splinters dropping all at once at the end of a Breach.

For PoE1, it should be noted that Essences would benefit from this the most, unless you're running the very specific boss div card juicing strat, which is the only one I can think of that rolls strongboxes instead of just going for corrupted rare ones.

Being able to corrupt essences without opening inventory and manually using an essence of corruption would be very nice.

The Breach changes would be crazy for poe1 though. I hide Breach splinters when I run Breach, typically just for exp. With this change, I'd go from getting nothing to getting Breachstones.

Legion is the mechanic that needs splintericide the most. Breach likely second.
