Path of Exile 2:Loot Evaluation and Gem Link Recommendations

In Path of Exile 2, the equipment system is one of the cores of building character strength. How to screen high-value trophies, optimize gear value, and reasonably match gems to improve combat effectiveness is a key skill that every player needs to master. This article will make in-depth analysis from the acquisition of trophies, value judgment, and gem combination recommendation of different genres.

Acquisition of Spoils and Value Judgment

Source of spoils

In the game, the main ways to obtain trophies include:

• Monster drop: Monsters in different areas will drop equipment of corresponding level. Boss level enemies usually drop high-quality equipment.
• Treasure chest and hidden rewards: Some special maps, relics or world events may provide additional loot.
• Trading and manufacturing: improve equipment attributes through trading markets or using currency items (such as Holy Stone and Chaos Stone).
• Task reward: Some main line or branch line tasks will present specific equipment or skill gems.

Screening of high-value trophies

In the face of massive falling, players should give priority to the following types of equipment:

• Weapons with high basic attributes (high physical or magic damage increase)
• Armor, ring, necklace with multiple prefixes/suffixes (provide resistance, HP, mana, critical hit, etc.)
• Six-linked items (even if the affix is ordinary, it can also be used as a skill match)
• Rare currency (such as noble stone, chaotic stone, mirror, etc., which can be traded in the market)
• Legendary equipment (some legendary equipment will greatly increase the damage of some schools)
  
• *Suggestion: Get familiar with the affixes of items as soon as possible to improve the efficiency of equipment screening.

Strategy of Matching Equipment and Gem

In the early stage, survival is preferred to trophies: in the early stage, the priority of resistance, HP, and magic recovery is higher than output.

Skill gem matching equipment attribute: For example, high critical weapon is suitable for matching with the gem Critical Hit Rate Increases, and fast casting staff is suitable for Spell Echo.

Upgrade equipment in a timely manner: If you get better basic equipment, you should give priority to transferring gem combinations instead of sticking to old equipment.

Pay attention to the market trend: if you don't plan to use some equipment for yourself, you can observe the market price and sell it in exchange for useful currency.
