All Game Items

Path of Exile: Comprehensive All Game Items Guide

This guide provides a detailed overview of every major item category in Path of Exile (PoE). Items are grouped logically by function—currencies, equipment, consumables, crafting materials, collectibles, and quest items—with explanations of what each does, how to obtain it, when it is useful, and important synergies or upgrades. Note that PoE has thousands of unique items; this guide covers the fundamental categories and representative examples.

---

1. Currencies (Orbs)

Currencies in PoE are more than just money—they are crafting tools that modify items. Most drop from monsters, chests, and league mechanics. The exchange rate between orbs fluctuates based on player trading (via the official trade site or third-party tools).

#### 1.1 Basic Currency Orbs

#### 1.2 Advanced Currency Orbs (Crafting)

#### 1.3 League-Specific Currencies

These drop primarily from their respective league mechanics.

---

2. Equipment

Equipment includes weapons, armor, accessories, and flasks. Most items have implicit and explicit modifiers. Rarity tiers: Normal (white) → Magic (blue) → Rare (yellow) → Unique (orange).

#### 2.1 Weapons

Weapons are divided by type (one-handed, two-handed, ranged, caster weapons). Each base type has implicit stats (e.g., critical strike chance, attack speed). Common bases:

Unique Weapons (notable examples):

• Oro's Sacrifice (2H Sword) – Fire damage, enables fire conversion builds.


• The Saviour (1H Sword) – Creates clone of yourself.


• Wand: Void Battery – High critical, grants power charges.


• Bow: The Tempest – Lightning damage, high attack speed.

#### 2.2 Armour

Armour pieces: Body Armour, Helmet, Gloves, Boots, Shield.

Unique Armour Examples:

• Body: Belly of the Beast – High life, good for life-based builds.


• Helmet: Devoto's Devotion – Movement speed, chaos res.


• Gloves: Tombfist – Added physical damage per abyssal jewel.


• Boots: Seven-League Step – Insane movement speed for fast mapping.


• Shield: The Surrender – Recovery on block.

#### 2.3 Accessories

Jewelry: Rings, Amulets, Belts.

Unique Jewelry Examples:

• Ring: Pariah – High resistances, all attributes.


• Amulet: The Perfect Form – +1 to level of socketed cold gems.


• Belt: Headhunter – (Very rare) Gain rare monster mods on kill; extremely powerful for mapping.

#### 2.4 Flasks

Flasks are consumable potions with separate slots. They are essential for survivability and utility.

How to obtain: Flasks drop from monsters, chests, or can be crafted. Unique flasks drop from bosses or specific divination cards.

Upgrades: Quality (via Glassblower's Bauble) increases recovery amount. Enchantments via betrayal or lab trials grant additional effects.

3. Consumables

Consumables are single-use or limited-use items that provide temporary effects or access to content.

#### 3.1 Skill Gems

Gems are the primary way to gain skills. They are socketed into equipment and level up with experience.

Acquisition: Monster drops (especially from skill-gem chests), vendors in town (sell gems for scroll fragments), quest rewards. Awakened gems drop from The Shaper, Uber Elder, and Maven bosses.

Upgrades: Level up by equipping and gaining XP. Quality improves via Gemcutter's Prism. Vaal Orbs can corrupt them into Vaal versions or transform them.

#### 3.2 Maps & Map Fragments

Maps are the endgame content item. They are placed into the Map Device in your hideout.

How to obtain: Drops from monsters in maps, from Zana quests, via divination cards, or from vendor recipes (3 maps of same tier -> 1 tier higher).

Modifiers: Maps can be altered with currency orbs (Alchemy, Chaos, Chisels, Vaal) to increase difficulty and rewards.

#### 3.3 League Consumables

Various league-specific items that unlock encounters or crafting.

4. Crafting & Upgrade Materials

These items are used to modify, enhance, or craft new equipment.

#### 4.1 Essences

Essences are powerful single-mod items applied to normal/magic items. They guarantee a specific mod type.

Usage: Right-click the essence, then click on a normal or magic item in your inventory. Cannot be applied to rare or unique items.

#### 4.2 Fossils & Resonators

Fossils are socketed into Resonators (Delve crafting) to modify items.

Resonators are single-use items that hold up to 1-4 fossils and apply their combined effects to a normal/magic item.

Synergies: Combining fossils can force specific combinations (e.g., Corroded + Aetheric for chaos casters).

#### 4.3 Catalysts

Catalysts are used on jewelry (rings, amulets, belts) to improve specific modifier types and add quality.

Usage: Right-click catalyst, then click on a ring, amulet, or belt. Each catalyst adds 5% to 20% quality (max 20% per item). Quality improves the numeric values of affected mods.

#### 4.4 Oils

Oils are used in the Blight league mechanic. They can be applied to rings/amulets (via Cassia) to anoint passive skills or to create Blight maps.

Obtain: Blight encounters, Blighted maps, chests. Oils can also be combined (3 of one type -> 1 higher type).

#### 4.5 Delirium Orbs

Delirium Orbs are applied to maps to add the Delirium mechanic (fog, increased monster density, rewards).

Usage: Use in map device alongside a map. Cannot be removed.

#### 4.6 Harvest Crafts (via Lifeforce)

Harvest is a league mechanic where you collect lifeforce from plants and use it to craft items. Crafting options include:

• Reroll a rare item, keeping certain mods


• Remove/add a specific modifier type


• Augment a modifier if possible

Lifeforce types: Wild (green), Vivid (blue), Primal (yellow). They are collected and stored in the Horticrafting Station (Hideout) or used as they drop.

5. Collectibles

Collectibles have no direct use but are tradeable, used in crafting recipes, or required for challenges/achievements.

#### 5.1 Divination Cards

Divination Cards are stackable items that, when the full set is collected, can be turned in to Tasuni (Act 4) for a specific reward (unique item, currency, etc.).

Obtaining: Cards drop from monsters in specific zones, maps, or league mechanics. They are tradable.

Strategy: Many players farm specific maps known to drop valuable cards (e.g., Burial Chambers for The Doctor).

#### 5.2 Prophecies

Prophecies are conditional events that trigger during gameplay. They are consumable items stored in a prophecy tab.

Obtain: Silver Coins from monsters → use on Navali in town → receive a random prophecy.

Use: Prophecy automatically activates when conditions are met. They can be sealed and traded.

#### 5.3 Bestiary Items

Bestiary is a mechanic where you capture beasts using nets (or using Einhar's trap) and then sacrifice them in the Menagerie to craft items.

Crafting examples:

• Split Beasts – Split an item into two separate items, each with half the mods (imprints the original as a copy).


• Combine Beasts – Add a bestiary implicit mod to a weapon or armour.

#### 5.4 Leaguestones (Legacy)

Leaguestones were used in the Legacy league (2017). They are no longer in the core game but exist in Standard. They activate a past league mechanic for a limited number of areas.

6. Quest Items

These items are required for completing the main story (Acts 1-10). They cannot be traded and usually disappear after use.

Note: Most quest items are automatically placed in your inventory and consumed upon use. Keep them until the quest is complete.

7. Miscellaneous Consumables & Keys

8. Important Synergies & Upgrades

• Flasks + Quality: Use Glassblower's Bauble to hit 20% quality for maximum recovery. Enchant with "of the Order" (staunching, heat, grounding) via betrayal.


• Orb + Item Level: High item level is needed for top-tier mods. Always check ilvl before using Exalted Orbs.


• Essences + Fossils: Combining essences with fossils in resonators produces deterministic outcomes. Example: Corroded + Sanctified + Aetheric for chaos spell damage.


• Divination Cards: Flipping cards (buying low, turning in, selling rewards) is a common trade strategy.


• Harvest Crafts: Can modify an item without destroying it. Save high-ilvl bases for augment/remove mods.


• Vaal Orbs: Can brick an item (turn it into a rare with corrupted mods) or create a powerful implicit. Use on items you are willing to lose.


• Map Sustain: Use Chisels, Alchemy, and Vaal Orbs on maps. Run influenced maps (Shaper/Elder/Maven) for better returns.


• Unique Items: Many unique items are build-defining (e.g., Shavronne's Wrappings for low-life casters, Loreweave for max res). Check global trade for prices.
