With the new Sentinel League in Path of Exile looming close, Grinding Gear Games has announced the new and slightly revamped challenge system. You still have to complete 40 of them. However, this time around, you will start earning rewards from six completed challenges, unlike the previous leagues where the first rewards started after completing 12 challenges.
