News Tag: POE 2 Currency

As a large-scale, complex ARPG, even though Path of Exile 2 is currently only an incomplete early access, I believe you must have felt that it requires you to invest a lot of time to fully experience it. Despite this, there are still some hidden details that are easy to be overlooked.

There is no doubt that in order to cultivate your game character in POE 2 so that it can be successfully upgraded or accumulate POE 2 Currency, you need to make use of all the favorable mechanisms as much as possible. Besides the obvious skill gems or passive skill trees, those inconspicuous mechanisms or items can sometimes play a big role.

Based on this, this time we will introduce you to how Power Charges and Golden Idols work in Path of Exile 2.

What Is Power Charges?

Energy Charge is actually one of the many effects that can help you create super builds in the game. Although the effect works slightly differently compared to the first game, what remains unchanged is that almost every class can use Energy Charge, although some classes may use it more conveniently.

Alternatively, you can think of Power Charges as tokens for certain skills or skill effects. Power Charges themselves don’t directly benefit you, but certain skills, such as Falling Thunder, can become more powerful by consuming these charges. Power Charges last for 20 seconds by default, but can be refreshed over time as you gain new Power Charges.

While Power Charges are not required to cast skills, and are not required to use builds, they do make certain builds more powerful, such as Tempest Flurry Invoker Build.

On the other hand, Power Charges have the same characteristics as Frenzy and Endurance Charges - by default, they do nothing on their own, but whenever a skill that consumes them is used, they provide a significant combat benefit.

How Are Power Charges Generated?

The generation of Power Charges depends on the class you play, and the skills you have available. For example, Killing Palm gains a Power Charge every time it deals a critical hit to an enemy, while Profane Ritual generates a charge by consuming a corpse, while dealing chaos damage in ​​the corpse.

If you have Resonance activated in the passive skill tree, you can convert Frenzy Charges you get into Power Charges. This conversion can generate some new combinations of skills and support gems, giving you the opportunity to use a wider variety of skills or discover the shining points of skills that were originally useless.

It is worth noting that Cast on Ailment buff can auto-generate Power Charges for you. For example, if you bind Profane Ritual to such a buff, you will trigger the skill without any input - provided that you keep applying the relevant Ailment. And Cast on Ailment buff will gain energy and trigger the skill faster when facing stronger enemies.

Available Support Gems

If you accumulate enough support gems while playing POE 2, you will find that they can help you generate more charges or make skills consume charges to enhance their effects. The current support gems related to Power Charges in the game are mainly:

• Profusion
• Perpetual Charge
• Potential

What Are Golden Idols?

There are quite a few quests to complete in the three acts of Path of Exile 2 early access. Some are easy, while others require you to fight very powerful bosses - the good thing is that you may get the rare POE 2 Regal Orb.

However, compared to the quests that can be easily found in the log, some quests are not obvious, or even not added to your quest log at all, such as the collection of Golden Idols in Act 3. Although these items are marked as quest items, it is difficult to feel the quest item characteristics of them.

Specifically, Golden Idols are actually a unique POE 2 quest item, and there are 6 of them available for you to collect. And after collecting them, you can sell them in exchange for a large amount of gold.

How To Get Golden Idols?

When you enter Act 3 and successfully explore the ruins of Vaal civilization below Ziggurat camp, you will be taken back to the past by a portal to continue visiting the once glorious Vaal city of Utzaa. This city represents the heyday of Vaal civilization and is now known as The Drowned City.

If you want to find Golden Idols as quickly as possible, try not to be distracted by the city’s magnificent visual wonders. Next, you may find some Golden Idols in Utzaa and its connected areas. There are three in Utzaa itself and another three in the connected area, Aggorat.

Utzaal Golden Idols:

• Glorious Idol
• Golden Idol
• Grand Idol

Aggorat Golden Idols:

• Exquisite Idol
• Exceptional Idol
• Elegant Idol

Each of these Golden Idol items can be found on the ground or on pedestals in the corresponding area, and most of the time they will appear in the side rooms connected to each area. It is worth noting that they will not drop from normal enemies in these areas, so you can only do your best to search for them.

What Do Golden Idols do?

Once collected, you can bring these Golden Idols back to Ziggurat camp and exchange them for gold. However, this transaction is not available to every vendor.

To save time, it is recommended that you go directly to the north side of Ziggurat camp, find Oswald, and talk to him. During the process, he will comment on your Golden Idols, and then you can open the corresponding trading interface to sell your Golden Idols. The current amount of gold that can be exchanged for each Golden Idol is as follows:

• Golden Idol: 500 Gold
• Exquisite Idol: 500 Gold
• Grand Idol: 1000 Gold
• Elegant Idol: 1000 Gold
• Glorious Idol: 1500 Gold
• Exceptional Idol: 1500 Gold

Since each Golden Idol will take up a small part of your inventory and they have no other use except being sold as high-value items, it is recommended that you return to Ziggurat Camp immediately after collecting them to sell them to save backpack space.

In addition to the exploitable mechanisms and items mentioned above, you will actually find that there are more important props in POE 2, that are various types of Orbs! Now there is a good chance to get POE 2 Orbs for free - a POE 2 Currency giveaway event in IGGM Discord!

Just leave the reaction emoji “Love” and you will have the chance to share 1,000 Exalted Orbs, 1,000 Chaos Orbs, 1,000 Orbs of Alchemy and 2,000 Regal Orbs with 19 other players! I believe you will have this good luck!

In POE 2 early access released not long ago, there are 6 classes for you to choose and experience. Although 6 classes seem not so rich compared to the 12 classes that are expected to be released in the official game after the early access, it is actually enough for you to play for a long time.

As you know, the current 6 classes of Path of Exile 2 not only have different gameplays from each other, but each class also has its own builds and different ascendancy subclasses, so they have different strengths when facing different enemies. So if you want to farm POE 2 Regal Orbs by defeating high-level bosses, you must be more cautious in class selection.

In addition, because of the inherent differences in the design of each class, not every class is easy to operate. Some classes are relatively simple at the beginning, but difficult to operate in the endgame stage; some classes are difficult to upgrade in the early stage, but will show their full strength after being perfected.

Based on this, we have ranked these 6 classes from easy to hard based on the difficulty of mastering for your reference.

6. Sorceress

Sorceress is currently the easiest class to play in POE 2. Although she has almost no protection against physical damage from enemies, she can use her powerful elemental attacks to eliminate enemies before they get close. However, if you want to improve her survivability, you can also invest in passive skills to gain energy shields.

In the mid-game, you can expand Sorceress’s damage potential through the synergy between lightning damage, Sorceress buff gems, and Stormweaver ascendancy.

In fact, this class may also be the easiest class to enter the endgame, because her high energy shield attribute and passive skills provide more survivability than you think.

5. Ranger

You may feel that Ranger is a complex class because of its skill-shot abilities, which require you to grasp the timing of the attack. Of course, this is true to a certain extent, and as a class with a high skill cap, Ranger has huge damage potential. But there are actually easier ways to deal damage to this class.

For example, if you play as a Ranger, you can easily deal a lot of area damage through lightning or poison, or use freezing skills such as Escape Shot and Freezing Salvo to control the enemy. Just invest in relevant passive damage skills, and you can keep your damage high throughout the game, making it easy to defeat enemies and get the dropped POE 2 Currency.

4. Witch

This class is a mixed bag in terms of difficulty. At the beginning, the required operations of Witch are relatively easy, because the available minions have a significant advantage in the early game, which can prevent enemies from approaching, while you can deal damage from a distance.

However, once you enter the mid-to-late game, when bosses and elites can deal enough damage to eliminate minions, Witch will gradually lose this combat advantage. Unless you wait for rebirth, then it will be difficult for you to focus on damage output.

For this reason, it is recommended that you light up the passive points that enhance the ability of minions, and also pay attention to Witch’s energy shield passive, which can prevent you from dying immediately when the minions’ meat shield is broken. In addition, curses and infection mechanisms that can achieve optimal damage add a little extra complexity to Witch.

3. Mercenary

At first glance, you will find that the combat function of Mercenary seems similar to that of Ranger - they are both ranged warriors and can mix elemental and poison attacks. But compared to the high mobility of Ranger, Mercenary has greater health and armor potential, as well as a more methodical shooting method.

Mercenary’s crossbow can fire various types of arrows and ammunition, such as allowing you to use Fragmentation Rounds in close combat and Permafrost Bolts at a distance. Or use grenades to ignite a cloud of poison gas, allowing you to cause large-scale damage to enemies as you upgrade.

2. Warrior

If you are more used to playing RPGs, or are familiar with POE 1, you may be mistakenly thought that Warrior will be the easiest class to get started at the beginning, but the more complex melee mechanics in Path of Exile 2 mean that this is not the case. To experience the game as a Warrior in POE 2, you need to balance many things.

While you also get the standard survivability boost, this ultimately counteracts the demanding playstyle of POE 2. That is, even Warrior with the highest armor can’t stand still and take the boss’s hits.

Of course, it is possible to create Warrior builds that can clear the end content, and the class has the highest single-target damage potential in the game. However, this requires you to have very precise and patient gameplay and pay careful attention to movement rotation and enemy status, so the actual operation is still relatively difficult.

1. Monk

If you can fully master this class, you can get excellent clearing speed in combat, but it will be difficult to reach the upper limit of Monk. To do this, you must master the use of energy charges and actively generate them in order to enhance skills. And to get the highest DPS output of Monk, you need to use Tempest Bell. When other Monk skills hit it, the damage you deal with will be further amplified.

In addition, the survivability of Monk is relatively average, because the class attributes are mainly distributed in intelligence and agility, so you can only defend with dodge rating and energy shield. But the humble dodge level attribute provides almost no protection, so you can only focus on strengthening the energy shield to resist enemy attacks.

But no matter which class you choose to play, you will need the help and benefits of various Orbs. So join POE 2 Currency giveaway event in IGGM Discord now! Just leave the emoji “Love” for a chance to get a lot of Orbs! Good luck!

With the official launch of POE 2 early access, you will find that although there are only 3 acts to experience, each act is very rich, including campaigns with different plots and bosses of different difficulties.

Among them, if you can successfully defeat those higher-level bosses, you can not only get more POE 2 Currency than completing ordinary tasks but also unlock the next act or a new challenge difficulty. Viper Napuatzi, in the third act is such a boss worth challenging.

Located in Utzaal, this boss will deploy various poison attacks in a very small arena, forcing you into a claustrophobic battle. Although the battle process with her may not be very complicated, the limited size of the arena and the power of the poison will make her extremely deadly. Especially when she uses multiple core actions in rapid succession to cover the arena in poison or trap you in a corner.

Based on this, we will introduce you how to defeat her from two aspects: pre-preparation and specific battle.

Prepare According To The Boss’s Weaknesses

When you encounter her, you need to make sure your game character is at least level 43-45 - of course, the higher the better. Since Viper Napuatzi is resistant to almost as many elemental damage, even physical damage, so you’d better use chaos damage to deal with her, or destroy her armor as much as possible.

Among the 6 classes currently available, Warrior’s slam attacks and Witch’s chaos build will be the best weapons to deal with this boss, and Ranger with poison or chaos attacks is also effective. Other professions will feel more difficult, such as Monk or Sorceress. If you play such a disadvantaged class, you’d better use chaos resistance to enhance your equipment and defense.

To do this, you need to farm equipment with chaos resistance attributes throughout Act 3 beforehand, and make them stronger by consuming POE 2 Exalted Orbs. In addition, you can also work hard to unlock those chaos resistance nodes on the passive skill tree. Alternatively, you can use Chaos Resistance Ring, which is a random drop in Act 3, and can also be found at vendors in Act 2 or Act 3.

It’s worth mentioning that if you’ve previously defeated Ignagduk and completed Tribal Vengeance quest, you can choose to obtain Blooming Antidote Charm. This will make you immune to poison when you’re poisoned during the fight with Viper Napuatzi.

How To Defeat Viper Napuatzi?

Throughout the fight, Viper Napuatzi will accumulate the frequency of her attacks, rather than switching between phases. As a result, she’ll become more unpredictable as the fight progresses.

First, her basic range of attacks is based around spear attacks, which include thrusts that can be dodged sideways, and a standard three-hit combo. Typically, her first two attacks might hit you at close range, and then she’ll leap forward and slam her spear into the ground for a more powerful third attack. You can dodge the first two attacks by rolling out of the way, and then rolling to the side to avoid the third slam.

She will then slowly walk forward, swinging her spear, and suddenly jump forward while spinning the spear, dealing poison damage to you. During this time, you must do your best to stay away from her, because if you are hit, you will continue to take damage while being infected by the poison.

Be careful, Viper Napuatzi can also rush towards you to close the distance between you, but you can predict it by some of her behaviors. When Napuatzi holds the spear with her right hand and charges it, you can see the poison concentrate on the tip of the spear, accompanied by a loud sound prompt.

This is actually a long-range charge attack, and she will launch two snakes in the area in front of her. This attack has a wide range, so when she releases the charge attack, you should immediately step back and dodge.

Between all of Viper Napuatzi’s attacks, it is recommended that you use single-target skills that can be automatically aimed, area-of-effect skills, or projectiles such as walls and spheres to allow you to damage her while avoiding the boss.

Of course, you should always remember not to get too close to her, but to guide her from a distance to keep a medium distance around the arena slowly. This will allow you to avoid most of her melee attacks with good dodging.

How To Deal With The Ultimate Phase Of The Fight?

If you play as a Warrior or other melee class, you’ll want to focus on casting totems and shockwaves. Also, if you don’t damage Napuatzi for too long, her energy shield will regenerate, making her harder to kill.

When Napuatzi’s health drops to around 85%, she’ll place her spear on the ground and form a poison pool around herself while rising into the air above the arena and starting to fire blasts at you. These blasts are marked with circles on the ground, and to avoid them you must slowly move around the arena, moving to spaces where the blasts didn’t hit or just hit.

There’s no set order for these attacks. Viper Napuatzi can use several blasts in a row, or relentlessly unleash her melee attacks. To do this, you’ll need to be familiar with her movements for each attack.

When her health drops to around 30%, she will perform a spear attack, and once her health drops to 5%, she will perform a spear attack more continuously. However, you cannot damage her during this attack, so you have to wait until she starts fighting on the ground again to continue to damage her until she is defeated.

With the death of Viper Napuatzi, you will not only can obtain Regal Orbs or some rare equipment that may drop through her, but also enter Cruel difficulty and endgame.
