Path of Exile 2

Compare unique item effects and requirements

Which unique matches the slot and requirements?

Use item comparison to choose between two unique variants by their requirements, base, category, and modifier lines. Highlighted lines are the differences. The page does not add those lines into a damage score.

How do I compare two items?

  1. Open comparison for one game. The league name on the page is the league those quotes and variants belong to.
  2. Set First item and Second item. An empty plan opens with the pair stored as that game's starting comparison, when both items are present.
  3. Read each column for requirements and modifiers. Follow View item for the full variant, including other rolls of the same name.
  4. Add to plan when the column should join the acquisition list. The same plan then opens on the acquisition and equipment tabs.

What do the starting items actually require?

Path of Exile 2, Forbidden Rites

An empty plan opens with both items filled in. Both occupy the same equipment category, so the page compares their lines directly.

Headhunter (Heavy Belt, Belt)

  • Level: 50
  • +(40-60) to maximum Life
  • +(20-40) to Strength
  • +(20-40) to Dexterity
  • When you kill a Rare monster, you gain its Modifiers for 60 seconds

Ingenuity (Utility Belt, Belt)

  • Level: 55
  • (1-19)% reduced Charm Charges gained
  • (1-20)% increased Charm Charges gained
  • (1-10)% increased Charm Charges used
  • (1-10)% reduced Charm Charges used

Path of Exile, Allflame

An empty plan opens with the first item filled in. The second column stays empty until you choose an item.

Headhunter (Leather Belt, Belt)

  • Level 40
  • +(40-66) to Strength
  • +(40-66) to Dexterity
  • +(50-72) to maximum Life
  • (20-30)% increased Damage with Hits against Rare monsters

Abyssus (Ezomyte Burgonet, Helmet), one item you can place in Second item

It is a helmet, while Headhunter is a belt, so the page shows the category warning beside the line differences.

  • Level 60
  • +(20-25) to all Attributes
  • Adds 40 to 60 Physical Damage to Attacks
  • +(100-125)% to Melee Critical Strike Multiplier
  • (100-120)% increased Armour

What should I keep in mind while comparing?

  • The two columns are a comparison of requirements and modifiers. They are not ranked by a damage or defence total.
  • A saved browser plan replaces the starting pair. A share link for another game or league is rejected rather than mixed with these selections.
  • Variant, corruption, and link labels stay in the item name when the stored row distinguishes them. Pick the variant you mean before adding it to the plan.

Where do I take the item I kept?

Add to plan, then open the acquisition plan to set needed and owned quantities, or open the equipment planner to place the item in a legal slot. The affix workbench remains the place to check ordinary modifiers on the base.
