Blog Tag: Poe 2 Uniques

There are quite a few unique items in Path of Exile 2, so many players complain that unique items are not that unique at all. However, it is undeniable that unique items can bring a good improvement to the player’s build. And even if there are many unique items, it is not easy to get one of them.

Players want to get unique items in the game. Basically, you can only rely on farming enemies or challenging bosses, gambling at merchants, and using Orbs of Chance. These methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you want to get a specific unique item, then using Orbs of Chance or gambling may be the best way for you.

Farm Rares & Bosses

In theory, unique items can appear anywhere. It may be dropped by monsters, or it may be a treasure chest you open randomly. But the probability of a unique item appearing in them is lower than winning the lottery. If you want to ship efficiently, remember two keywords: Rares and BOSS.

Rare enemies are a little harder to deal with than normal enemies, but they have a higher chance of dropping rare equipment, POE 2 Currency and other items. In addition to rare enemies, bosses are more likely to drop good items. Some unique items can only be dropped by bosses.

If players want to get unique items by farming rares and bosses in the early stage, it is recommended that you choose an area one or two levels lower than your character’s level. This will ensure that your farming speed of the boss will not be too slow, and it will not delay level increase.

Try to find a copy that can avoid being disturbed by monsters and directly find the boss, which can improve your efficiency.

The recommended location is Mausoleum of the Praetor, which is in Act 1 and also contains Forgotten Riches area. You can find a lot of gold and treasure chests in this area.

The advantage of farming Rares & Bosses is that you can also get a lot of resources including equipment, currency, gold, etc. during the farming process, but the disadvantage is that it is very time-consuming and you have to have enough patience.

Gambling Vendor

There is a Gambling Vendor in the center of each town, where players can gamble for equipment with gold but not use currency.

It is worth mentioning that most of the equipment provided by these unscrupulous vendors is also very ordinary. The probability of unique items appearing is also very low. But the advantage is that this method is very safe, and there is a probability that you can gamble for the unique equipment you want. If you have a lot of gold that you can’t use, then you can try this method.

The equipment provided to you by Gambling Vendor is all random, including affixes, attributes and rarity. But you can only view their attributes and rarity after you get them. You can basically only view the type of equipment and whether it has armor and energy shield.

If you want a unique glove, then you better only exchange gloves from Gambling Vendor. The attributes of the equipment are random, but the type of equipment is fixed. Gambling Vendor of POE 2 is different from Diablo 4, and cross-type shipments cannot be made here.

Orbs Of Chance

Orbs of Chance is a relatively common way to gamble for unique items. Orbs of Chance can turn a normal item into a unique item, or destroy it. It’s also a bit risky, but it’s the quickest and most accurate of the three methods.

If you want a specific unique item, then using Orbs of Chance will help you get it in the shortest amount of time. The downside is that Orbs of Chance is also very random, and there’s a good chance that your normal item will be destroyed. So make sure you have plenty of normal items and don’t try to use Orbs of Chance on your best normal item!

Orbs of Chance itself is also relatively rare. However, players can get some Chance Shards in Act 1and Act 2, which can be combined into a full Orbs of Chance. And full Orbs of Chance may appear in the drops of various bosses in In Act 3, Cruel difficulty, and beyond difficulty. If you need a lot of Orbs of Chance, you can team up with other players to farm bosses at Cruel difficulty quickly and safely.

Although the probability of Orbs of Chance upgrading ordinary items to unique items is not high, it is already very high compared to the above two methods. If you have a lot of Orbs of Chance, you can try to gamble with it.

The above are three ways to get unique items. These three methods are very random, and players can choose which method to use according to the items they have. Some unique items cannot be obtained by the above three methods. They will only appear in the drops of specific bosses. For example, the unique items dropped by several high-difficulty bosses in endgame can only be obtained by defeating these bosses. If players want to get a specific unique item, first remember to check how to get it.
