If you have experienced POE 3.25 or earlier works in the series, then you must know that Currency was the main currency system in the game.
However, in Path of Exile 3.25, the game began to introduce gold and currency at the same time. Gold at this stage is actually a collectible item that can be dropped from monsters and loot containers of Settlers Alliance. In Kingsmarch, gold can be used for town construction and giving workers’ wages, or providing you with other miscellaneous services.
However, as the release time of POE 2 early access is approaching, you will find out from various relevant news that POE 2 Gold may replace Currency in POE 2 and become the new mainstream Path of Exile currency.
So if you want to better experience Path of Exile 2, you must understand how gold works in it. Based on this, we will provide you with some information.
Overview Of Path Of Exile 2
First of all, about Path of Exile 2, you can regard it as the sequel to Path of Exile. It was first announced on November 15, 2019 during ExileCon 2019 as a major “version 4.0” update to the first game, introducing new action activities and major changes to the core game mechanics and graphics.
Originally, its early access date was announced as June 7, 2024, but after multiple delays, it is currently scheduled to be officially launched on December 6, 2024. It is reported that POE 2 not only includes rich content such as six-act campaigns and twelve classes, but also makes major changes to many core systems of the game.
For example, the skill gem system has undergone enormous changes; combat has been improved and a new dodge mechanism has been added. Other changes include a major visual remake based on physical rendering, a comprehensive overhaul of itemization and crafting, 36 Ascendancy classes, a new passive skill tree, and a brand new endgame system. And the changes to gold that we are going to introduce this time.
Introduction To Gold
Currently, gold is one of the core resources in Path of Exile 2. You can get relevant drops by killing monsters and engaging in various encounters, and automatically pick it up within range.
It is worth noting that in POE 2, gold cannot be used to trade with other players, but can only be used to exchange related items and services from NPC suppliers. This also makes gold more important to you in the campaign than in the first game.
How To Farm POE 2 Gold?
Since Path of Exile 2 early access has not yet been officially released, we will introduce you to several main methods based on some known information and refer to the relevant content of POE 3.25.
1. Complete Tasks And Challenges
As a large-scale MMO game, and in order to better meet your gaming needs, POE 2 contains many challenging tasks. After completing them, you will get various loot, including POE 2 Gold.
2. Farm Advanced Maps And Bosses
As your game progresses, the further you go in various campaigns, the higher the level of the runnable maps will be, so that you can get more gold by killing monsters in them.
It is worth noting that map bosses and rare monsters will drop more gold, so we recommend that you aim for bosses with a lot of rare items to increase your gold income.
3. Take Advantage Of The Town Mining Mechanism
In Path of Exile 3.25, you can use the new town mechanic to earn gold, so it is reasonable to predict that this feature may continue to POE 2. To take advantage of this feature, you need to reach mining level 11, after which you will receive gold equal to the amount of ore mined.
This means that every time you encounter an ore node and click on it to mark the location where your miner mines are, you will receive gold equal to the amount of ore mined. Since there are multiple nodes on most maps, this will cause your gold inventory to pile up quickly.
4. Kill Pirates
This method has some risks, but it does not mean that you can’t try it. You can deliberately increase the risk of your ship being attacked by pirates during the voyage. If you are really attacked by pirates, you can get 50,000 gold by killing the pirates and taking back the stolen goods.
5. Other Possibilities
In addition to the above four main ways, you can also plan your currency items and exchange them for Path Of Exile 2 Gold when necessary. In addition, remember to pay attention to game bloggers on various social media or video platforms in a timely manner to learn new strategies for farming gold that they may propose.
What Are The Uses Of Gold?
In POE 3.25, you can use gold to develop your town, hire new workers, and give wages to existing workers in Kingsmarch settlement. Path of Exile 2 has obviously expanded the application scenarios of gold.
You can use it to exchange flasks, jewelry, and some mage items, even armor and weapons at NPCs. In addition, you can find the hooded NPC in the town and remove passive points on your passive skill tree by giving them gold, which can help you better plan the use of your game character’s skills.
The above is some of the information we provide you with farming gold in Path of Exile 2. As the game is officially launched, we will also bring you more new help. Thank you for reading.
