Path Of Exile 2 Greater Rune Of Alacrity: What Can It Do For You?

Posted: May 21, 2025 Views: 60

As you know, Path of Exile 2 patch 0.2.0 released in early April brought a lot of new content, including not only game content that can be experienced, such as new classes or new maps, but also many new items that can be obtained, including new skill gems and runes.

Among them, runes are one of the important items in POE series. When you insert it into the open slot of gear, it will provide you with corresponding attribute bonuses, which is very important. However, after the launch of Dawn of the Hunt, facing hundreds of new runes, you may not know which ones to get first.

Based on this, we will give you priority to Greater Rune of Alacrity this time, and introduce its role and how to obtain it.

Path Of Exile 2 Greater Rune Of Alacrity: What Can It Do For You?

What Is POE 2 Rune?

A rune is a POE 2 item that can be inserted into the corresponding slot on the equipment. Each rune provides different attribute enhancements, mainly depending on the type of rune and the gear it is suitable for (including military weapons, wands, staff and armor).

All runes in the game are divided into three rarity levels: lesser, normal, and greater. The higher the level, the harder it is to get, but the better the buffs it provides. In addition, after you complete Trials of Chaos, you may receive a drop called Soul Core. It works similarly to runes, but the effect is more unique and harder to obtain.

With the release of Dawn of the Hunt, you may find that Talismans drop after killing enemies affected by Azmerian Wisp. It also works similarly to runes, but each Talisman can only provide the properties of one piece of gear.

What Is Greater Rune Of Alacrity?

As one of the new greater runes added in patch 0.2.0, when Greater Rune of Alacrity is embedded in a martial weapon, it can increase your skill speed by 8%. Based on this, if you are playing Warrior class, you can try to utilize mace builds based on choosing Smith of Kitava as your Ascendancy class.

This is because the skill Perfect Strike, which is the main skill of this type of builds, has a very slow attack speed on normal mace, and Greater Rune of Alacrity can perfectly solve this problem.

However, it is worth noting that due to the large number of new runes, it is troublesome to pick runes from them without the help of a guide. So you may prefer to buy POE 2 currency to directly add speed-enhancing modifiers to gear. But seriously, this rune is worth having.

Advantages Of Greater Rune Of Alacrity

In addition to the skill-speed increase mentioned above, this rune can also provide damage bonus. But embarrassingly, no matter how your weapon is obtained, only the basic DPS and other attributes will be displayed, and the damage increase brought by the skill-speed increase will not be displayed, causing this rune to be ignored.

However, the skill-speed-up benefit not only increases damage, but also makes your combat experience smoother, and reduces the speed of enemy movement and attack by allowing you to launch fully charged attacks faster, killing bosses more accurately while avoiding enemies.

How To Get This Rune?

The way to farm runes in Path of Exile 2 is basically universal, mainly including killing enemies, recasting other runes, and exchanging them by currency.

Dropped After Killing Enemies

Generally speaking, you have a chance to get rune drops after completing most battles, but Greater Rune of Alacrity is one of the four special greater runes. It can only be obtained by summoning and defeating the boss during the exploration of the unique map Phaaryl Megaliths.

The four runes are:

  • Greater Rune of Alacrity
  • Greater Rune of Nobility
  • Greater Rune of Tithing
  • Greater Rune of Leadership

Reforging Bench

Unfortunately, due to its rarity, this method does not work with Greater Rune of Alacrity, as it has no lesser or normal versions. Here’s how Reforging Bench works:

  • Combining three lesser runes of the same type turns it into a normal rune of the same type.
  • Combining three normal runes of the same type turns it into a greater rune of the same type.

Currency Exchange

Find Alva in the Hideout and talk to him to open the currency exchange interface, where you can trade Greater Rune of Alacrity with other players using your existing currency. However, considering how hard it is to get, the currency required should be quite a bit.

How To Utilize It?

As long as you have an empty rune slot on your military weapon, drag Greater Rune of Alacrity to the designated location to apply it. It is worth noting that once greater rune is placed, it cannot be removed or restored, but it can be replaced by other runes of any level, Soul Core, or Talisman.

The above is all the content introduced to you this time. I hope this will attract your attention to this rune and get it in time to fully utilize its value. Wish you good luck!
