Unique items in Path of Exile 2 (POE 2) are among the strongest elements in the game but are hard to find.
These items keep the implicit modifiers of their base item if it exists and provide exclusive modifiers.
The developers of POE 2 have also mentioned players’ second characters will have access to leveling uniques.
Leveling Uniques In POE 2
The game currently has 262 unique items, including maps and items with different modifier versions.
Unique items usually have special modifiers that do not appear on regular items. These modifiers can sometimes help you create entirely new character builds.
Like other items, unique items can have legacy versions when the modifiers get updated, but older items are not changed.
This means some uniques have stronger, weaker, or different versions that players can trade in the permanent league.
In PoE 2, your second league character benefits from powerful leveling uniques, making it easier to rush the campaign.
Players can obtain leveling uniques by four primary methods: opening chests, defeating Bosses, Gambling, and using Orb of Chance.
How To Obtain Unique Items
Unique items can randomly drop from defeated monsters, chests, or other loot sources in the environment.
The chances of finding them depend on their rarity tier, as well as modifiers like item rarity and item quantity.
Additionally, you can turn a normal item into a unique one by using an Orb of Chance, though this is very rare.
Some unique items can be acquired by purchasing items from the Gambler, though it is not guaranteed.
Lastly, you can also get certain unique items from specific bosses or game mechanics, meaning they can be obtained more predictably.
Unique items make the game more exciting by offering powerful effects and unique playstyles.
Players should always keep an eye out for uniques, as they can make a big difference in both leveling and endgame builds.
