Path of Exile 2 Return of the Ancients two-week stats revealed

Grinding Gear Games has dropped a two-week recap for the Return of the Ancients league in Path of Exile 2, with data analyst Lily crunching the numbers on just how much carnage players have unleashed across Wraeclast.

Players opened 219,088,375 Waystones and cleared 6,187,370 Unique Maps, collecting over 8 trillion Gold in the process. A total of 262,915,249 Tablets were socketed into Waystones, including 59,115,949 Abyss Tablets specifically. The Abyss overran 1,633,511 maps, and players cleansed 1,290,936 Corrupted Nexuses. The Arbiter of Divinity was killed 1,249,367 times. On the death side, Standard leagues saw 170,236,613 Exile deaths, while Hardcore claimed 178,753 characters permanently.

The three most-played Ascendancies were Martial Artist, Spirit Walker, and Deadeye. The top five most-used skills across all realms were Barrage, Frost Bomb, Whirling Slash, Ice-Tipped Arrows, and Twister. The deadliest boss wasn't the final one — Arbiter of Ash topped the kill chart with 3,516,457 Exile deaths, ahead of Arbiter of Divinity at 2,789,506, The Bodach at 1,519,439, Count Geonor (Western Enigma) at 1,284,693, and The Vessel of Kulemak at 909,001.

The numbers paint a picture of a league that landed well, with enormous engagement across both Standard and Hardcore. Arbiter of Ash sitting above the Arbiter of Divinity on the lethality chart will likely spark some debate about whether that boss needs a look before the league wraps.
