Path of Exile 2 class posters
Ahead of the early access launch date, Grinding Gear Games released some posters. If you read them closely, they offer some interesting lore about each class and what each character is up to in Ogham. Notably, the majority of these are wanted posters while the Warrior class has a missing poster. We've written out the text version of these posters below!
- Warrior: The adopted son of our dear blacksmith is missing! A brave man of the forge and proud citizen of Ogham, the count demands his safe return. If you know his whereabouts, send word to the manor. A generous reward awaits you.
- Sorceress: A Maraketh sorceress has been sighted in Ogham. Banished by her people, she bends the elements to her will, setting fire to our crops and calling down violent storms to ravage our lands. If you spot her, do not approach! Inform the manor immediately!
- Ranger: Vigilante archer at large! This Grelwood recluse murdered one of the count's men while he upheld the law against a common thief. Stay out of her sights. If you see her, raise the alarm immediately — justice must be served!
- Monk: Fanatical pagan on the loose! His fellow monks have been found murdered in their enclave, and now he sows discord and lunacy among the good people of Ogham. Hear tales of a "Dreamer" or spot in wandering? Fetch a guard immediately!
- Mercenary: A killer prowls Ogham! Wanted across Oriath, this thug-for-hire fled and now plies his bloody trade in our lands. He cares not for law nor morality — only for fulfilling his coin purse. Should you see this man, be wary of his crossbow and alert the manor at once!
- Witch: Beware, dear citizens of Ogham! A foul witch walks among us. Cast out by her coven, she wields pure darkness to spread death and decay across our lands. Should you see this woman, alert the guards immediately!
