Path Of Exile 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!

When playing Path of Exile 2, players often find themselves stockpiling various equipment, many of which are not suitable for their current character. Although you can choose to sell, disassemble or transfer these unwanted items to other characters through stash, sometimes you may encounter some equipment that can be equipped but has poor properties.

It seems a bit wasteful to sell or disassemble such items directly, because they are still useful resources after all. At this time, Reforging Bench becomes a very useful tool. It allows you to combine multiple items of the same type for a chance to re-randomize their properties.

This method not only allows you to make full use of the resources in your hands, but also may get unexpected excellent results, and sometimes even get new equipment that is better than using each item separately. If not, you can continue to enhance your gear by consuming POE 2 Exalted Orbs. Below, this guide will tell you how to find and use Reforging Bench in POE 2.

When To Unlock Reforging Bench?

In POE 2, Reforging Bench is a very useful feature, but it will not be unlocked until Act 3 of the game. Therefore, if you are just beginning your journey, you may need to wait a while before you can use this feature. At some point in Act 3, players will receive a Legacy of the Vaal quest, which will lead you to a brand new area - Drowned City.

After completing this quest, return to Ziggurat Encampment and find an NPC named Oswald near the northwest corner of the screen. Talking to Oswald will start Treasures of Utzaal quest. After successfully completing this series of quests, you will then be able to unlock Reforging Bench.

How To Unlock Reforging Bench?

Unlocking Reforging Bench is an important quest in POE 2. When players follow the quest marker to the adjacent Drowned City and reach around level 40, they enter a dungeon called Molten Vault. This dungeon is full of fire-based enemies, so it is recommended that players use POE 2 Currency to prepare any fire-resistant equipment and use ice magic to fight these enemies.

In Molten Vault, players will face a powerful boss named Mektul, The Forgemaster. Mektul is a boss that deals massive fire damage, but has a slow attack speed and a long cooldown between most attacks.

The player can dodge his attacks by holding down the dodge button and counterattack in between his attacks. This fight has a four-minute timer, and if the player fails to defeat Mektul within the time limit, the room will fill with lava, causing the player’s death.

To defeat Mektul effectively, the player should focus on using cold damage and becoming familiar with his attack patterns. Once he has mastered his attack patterns, the player can defeat him with relative ease. After defeating Mektul, the player will receive Hammer of Kamasa, an item that can open a portal back to town. After returning to town, speak to Oswald again to unlock Reforging Bench and an Uncut Skill Gem as a reward.

How To Use Reforging Bench?

Reforging Bench allows the player to combine three items of the same type and rarity into a new item of the same type with new properties. To use Reforging Bench, you need to find it and interact with it, just like any other crafting station.

There is a Reforging Bench in every town for players to use, or you can place one in your own hideout. When you decide to use it, walk up to it and interact with it.

It is important to note that the original three items will be destroyed, so make sure you no longer need them before using Reforging Bench. The properties of the newly obtained items are entirely dependent on the items you put in, and you cannot expect to gain Soul Cores by putting in equipment. You can use the following items on Reforging Bench:

• Weapons, armor, or accessories of the same type and rarity
• Unique items
• Catalyst
• Essence
• Soul Core
• Precursor Tablets
• Distilled Emotion
• Runes
• Relics
• Waystones of the same tier

In POE 2, there are a few key points to keep in mind when using Reforging Bench. You always need three input items, but you can only get one output item. While most re-rolls are random, some special items, such as Waystones and Distilled Emotions, often reward higher-tier items.

In addition, there are some additional restrictions to note. It is forbidden to use damaged items for recasting. You cannot see the full function of most recast items until you use Hooded One or Scroll of Wisdom to identify them.

Finally, the level of the output item will be the same as the lowest-level item you put in. Therefore, ideally, you should choose three items of roughly the same level to recast to ensure that you don’t waste high-level items to get low-level items.

Overall, Reforging Bench is a very strategic and practical feature in Path of Exile 2. It not only provides players with an effective way to utilize resources but also adds more possibilities and surprises to the creation of equipment. When operating, always keep an eye on the level and rarity of the items and choose the right combination to maximize the benefits. In the process of pursuing the perfect equipment, you can also enter IGGM discord to pay attention to occasional giveaway information.
