Forever Exiled
Forever Exiled is a Path of Exile podcast hosted by Justin (Tagz) and Tyler (Wrecker of Days) that covers all things Path of Exile. We’re both heavily obsessed with the game. Every time we go out for dinner, the conversation quickly turns from real life to the builds we’re playing, the news that GGG has released, and all of our opinions and dreams regarding it all. We talk so much PoE, that a podcast just made sense ;-). Tagz has been playing Path of Exile since Beta in April 2012 and Wrecker eventually joined in 2014. We both have very diff...
D's, T's, and Rating 'Fun' Trees
In episode 338, we accidentally bring up the equality of D's and T's, we totally don't judge what other people find fun, and we double-check to make sure that all cracks are sealed. GGG keeps patching our favourite game(s) and we keep loving it. Path of Exile's 3.28 Mirage is really tickling our fancy, even though life is busy. We love that you're here. Thanks for stopping by!
Episode 338 of Forever Exiled is another real-life-meets-Wraeclast catch-up, where Tagz and Wrecker bounce between busy weeks, family time, and their ongoing adventures in Path of Exile’s 3.28 Mirage league.

Accessibility? Yes Please!
C'est la vie in PoE! Episode 337 is short but sweet! We talk about working out like a wet noodle, teenage birthdays, GGG's new endgame, and 3.28 Mirage league (obviously)! We even squeeze in a little Path of Exile 2 for ya. You all rock! Thanks for your love each week 🙂 .
After a packed week of real life, spring break chaos, and a milestone teenage birthday, Episode 337 of Forever Exiled keeps things short but full of personality. Tagz and Wrecker dive into everything from family life and new routines to the realities of trying to unplug from work… and what it ac...
Week One of 3.28 Mirage
In episode 336, Tagz and Wrecker talk about their first week of GGG's big changes to Path of Exile 1 via 3.28's Mirage. Builds, Atlas, league, progress...we actually talked about Path of Exile this week! (Thanks for tuning in each week! Love ya!)
After a week of real life chaos, new pets, spring break planning, and recovering from sickness, Tagz and Wrecker finally settle in for a proper Path of Exile discussion as they dive into their first full week with 3.28 Mirage. From early league impressions to endgame Atlas progression, the duo compares how their builds, mapping strategies...
3.28 Mirage League Launch
Super buds, with super skills, with super observation skills (well, one of us). It's day-one of GGG's Path of Exile 1's 3.28 Mirage league. And you'll never guess what we did (we played it). And you'll never guess what we did after that (we talked about it). And you'll never guess what this specific episode is about (I can't get more obvious than the last two comments...sooooo...)... Thanks for your listens each and every week. It's so much fun having you around. Thank you!

3.28 Mirage Reveal
Sooooo, ground loot? Who knew. Guardian? Back at it. Episode 334? Worlds collide. Atlas Influence? Can't beat it. It's a fun time to follow GGG. Path of Exile 1 and 2 just keep getting better. Hopefully you enjoy league-launch next weekend! Thanks for being a part of the conversation this week as we learned about 3.28 Mirage! Love ya!

Celebrating with Pillows and Bubbles
It's episode 333! What a number! Nice round edges, repeating, it's big...ah, what a day. With GGG announcing PoE 1 and Path of Exile 2 news in the same week, they provided lots of content to throw around. We have Breaches, Vaal thingies, screen-hopping, Atlas stuff, mapping, checkpoints...nothing like a good checkpoint! Just chatting with a buddy about our favourite game for the 333rd time. Good times. Thanks for being a part this week (and so many others). We love that you're here. You're the best.

It's episode 331! GGG announced ExileCon last week, Phrecia is on going, our 3.27 private league is ongoing, Path of Exile 2 is still a fun thing, Trials of Chaos is still...Trials of Chaos. No matter how busy our weeks are, or where we are in GGG PoE schedule, there's always so much in Path Land to discuss. We wish we could chat with you!

It's episode 330! You know those times when you can't decide what's better, or why, or even what your preference is regarding something, but you have lots to say about it anyway because you really care, but you really aren't sure what would be the right path or direction to take because, though you know what you want, you can't really put a finger on it? Ya, same with us this week. Love ya! (Path of Exile came out with their 3.27 Phrecia this week. We have our private league. And GGG is cool.)

Private Theory Crafting Attempts
It's episode 329! It was a slow week in GGG Land, which means a slow week in Path of Exile Land, but they did announce a Phrecia Event. So, that's cool. This week's convo has lots of theory-crafting attempts in the Last of the Druids/Fate of the Vaal, observations, and, of course, personal opinions. It's always a pleasure to have you around! We wish we could include you in the conversation! Good luck in our private league (or Pharecia) and thanks again for your time!

The Balance of Path, Fur Sure
Welp! There's nothing like a slow week in The Last of the Druids league to spawn lots of good Path of Exile talk between buds! Episode 327 saw GGG put out a big PoE 2 patch, 0.4.0d, that made some nice long-term changes to the game that we'll no doubt take fur granted without a couple of play sessions. We hope you're enjoying your Path of Exile'ing and we look forward to seeing you in are private league coming up! Thanks, as always fur your time each and every week! We love your faces, eh?

It's episode 327! You know what that means? We don't either. But, we played lots of Path of Exile 2 this week, so that's good. We both tested the boundaries of our love/hate relationship with the game, but c'est la vie. Well, actually, it's c'est la beta vie. GGG keeps making the changes they need to to keep their game ticking, and we keep looking for new ways to enjoy ourselves. Have a great week everyone, and thanks for listening!

Happy 2026, everyone! We hope you had a great season and start to your 2026 year! With the holiday season wrapping up, we had more time than expected for respec'ing, levelling, and theory-crafting! So this week we get chatting about GGG's new Djinns in Path of Exile 2, SSF vs. trade, skills and tags, something better about ascending in PoE 2 than in PoE 1(!), and we even get a little snub in on new year resolutions. It's always a pleasure to hang with you! Thanks for giving us your time this week! Love ya!

Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you have a marvelous season no matter what your situation is.

Reveal for The Last of the Druids and Fate of the Vaal
Well, the .4 reveal has come and gone! GGG sure surprised us this go around with what will (and won't) be included in the Fate of the Vaal and The Last of the Druids.

Sweet Therianthropic Skills
DON'T be judgey. OF COURSE we know what that means...and of course we knew long before the episode started...and of course we didn't learn of the above term while in the process of recording this episode. BUT! If episode 320 taught us anything, it's that GGG has us quite hyped for the Druid in Path of Exile 2's 0.4.0 The Last Druid. Nope! Wait! It's 'The Last OF THE DruidS! We're just 3 weeks away and our questions and hopes are all hype! May the loot be with you.

For episode 319 we find ourselves 3 weeks into Path of Exile 1's 3.27 Keeper of the Flames and 3 weeks away from Path of Exile 2's 0.4.0. Lots of good is happening in PoE 1, and there's still lots to come for PoE 2! We scooch over to Path 1's hype a bit, then we schooch over to Path 2's hype a bit. And while we're on the subject, you can never have too many golems, you know? Or serial killer shows. Thanks for hanging with us this week! It was nice to have you around 🥰 .

3.27's First Day (Keepers of the Flame)
In episode 317 we discuss the opening day of Path of Exile's 3.27 Keepers of the Flame. We had pretty different experiences, annnnnd we partially forgot that this wasn't After Dark. So hopefully GGG forgives us on that one. And you'll never guess which one of us is in maps, and which one of us is in Act 2. New content is always exciting, especially after it's tweaked, and we're looking forward to seeing where the game goes from here. Thanks for your listens each week! We love ya!

3.27 Keepers of the Flame Reactions
In episode 316 (final answer), we go back on our promises. GGG's newest Path of Exile 1 expansion, 3.27's Keepers of the Flame, has so many QoL improvements, revamped trade, sub ascendancies (Bloodlines), and so much more, that we may, kind of, sort of, possibly, might play more of the original game then we planned. Blast you, GGG! PoE 2 is on hold! Thanks for the great expansion, and thanks, everyone, for your listens each week!

Welp! We're almost finished our 3.26 private league (Path 1) and it's only natural to compare games when you jump from one game to another. So this episode is all about our builds, hardcore deaths, and comparisons between GGG's games.

Big Mid-League Changes!
This week GGG made some huge changes to Path of Exile 2's 0.3.0 (The Third Edict) endgame. Mapping has turned much more into PoE 1's setup, but with a lot of Path 2 retained. What could be coming out in 0.4 if GGG is willing to bring this out mid-league! Hopefully you enjoy the upcoming changes to the beta, and more importantly, we hope you're having a great week.

The Eben and Blair Show
An interview this week spawned a lot of good subjects and conversation. GGG's Eben interviewed Blair who voices both Tujen and Huck in Path of Exile 1 and 2, and the content they touched on could have us talking for hours. No matter where your opinions are of PoE 1 or 2's gameplay/balance, most of us can agree that the story and voice acting are top notch, though, that's only a smart part of our subject matter. We hope you're having a great time playing 0.3.0 Rise of the Abyssal/The Third Edict (or Borderlands 4), or whatever else you may be playing...
Cold Turkey Congrats
GGG released patch 0.3.0c this week! So, in episode 310, we discuss our gameplay before and after the patch, and the build ideas and progress we've made so far. New content, especially in a beta, comes with it's list of good and bad additions, and the glorious thing about sharing that with people is that sometimes they agree with you, and sometimes they don't! The person writing this, is of course, always right...but don't tell my co-host that.
Thanks for all of your support as we reach episode 310! You're amazing! Thank you!

There have been a lot of changes in 0.3.0 and its subsequent patches, and that means a lot to experience and a lot to unpack! With each expansion improving Path of Exile 2 more and more, it's no wonder our time stamp is what it is! GGG still has a lot they want to add but it'll take a good while to properly experience what they've given us for now. Thanks again for your time each and every week! We love your faces.
