Path Of Exile 2 Gold

One of the six classes available in early access, Monk combines melee and ranged attack capabilities. While Monk may seem weak at the beginning of the game, a well-built Monk can become a very powerful endgame character.

If you are looking for specific advice on how to effectively build a strong Monk, or want to know which specific skill combinations are best suited to your current play style, then the following content will be very helpful to you.

Monk Overview

The initial Monk is good at using a continuous long stick melee attack, as well as some basic ranged elemental skills. At the beginning of the game, it is recommended that players should not be too picky about which type of damage to use, but should make full use of all available skills to quickly increase the character level. At about level 10 or so, consider investing some POE2 Currency to develop specific types of damage to synergize the build.

Improving Dexterity and Intelligence is crucial for Monk. As one of the most mobile classes in the game, Monk not only needs to flexibly shuttle across the battlefield to avoid enemy attacks from both near and far ends, but also needs to ensure that he has enough mana to release those powerful elemental skills.

Improving Dexterity allows monks to move faster and more easily avoid enemy attacks. Improving Intelligence ensures that you have enough mana to cast elemental skills.

In the early stages, due to relatively limited resources, it is recommended that players make full use of quarterstaff melee attack. Although these simple means of damage may be replaced by more complex and efficient elemental skills in the long run, at the beginning, they can cause effective damage to the enemy without consuming mana.

Skills

Monk is a profession with extremely flexible and powerful output capabilities, especially in utilizing lightning skills. By combining lightning skills with air skills, you can create a highly efficient character build.

For example, in the early stages of the game, you can freely combine lightning and air skills with a frost skill. Among them, Glacial Cascade is one of the best frost skills. If you can cast this skill a few meters away from the boss, this ranged attack will form a continuous frost path on the ground, and explode after reaching a certain distance, causing tremendous damage.

Here are the skills we recommend for a Monk:

• Falling Thunder
• Killing Palm
• Staggering Palm
• Tempest Bell
• Tempest Flurry
• Whirling Assault
• Gathering Storm
• Flicker Strike

Tempest Flurry skill is a combo melee skill that deals lightning damage. After completing the combo, the skill ends with an AoE lightning strike. Players can unlock it after reaching level 12. This skill basically replaces the basic quarterstaff attack.

You can use Tempest Flurry in conjunction with Tempest Bell. To achieve this combination, you need to get a four-hit melee combo. Once you successfully complete this combo, you can throw the next big bell, and each attack will cause damage. By default, the bell deals air damage, but if you hit it with a lightning attack, it will deal the same type of damage.

When you drop Tempest Bell and stand still to hit it, enemies will continue to attack you. Using Falling Thunder skill is an effective strategy if there are too many enemies around.

When enemies are low on health, you can use Killing or Staggering Palm to finish them off. In the late game, you can unlock some new skills such as Whirling Assault, Gathering Storm, and Flicker Strike. Whirling Assault clears large groups of enemies, while Flicker Strike allows you to jump from one enemy to another to deal damage.

Support And Spirit Gems

Support Gems can enhance the effects of your skills. In addition, Spirit Gems can be used to provide additional buffs to Monk.

Here are some Support Gems and the best Spirit Gems to use:

Support Gems

• Perpetual Charge (Falling Thunder)
• Lightning Infusion (Falling Thunder)
• Ruthless (Tempest Bell)
• Magnified Effect (Tempest Bell)
• Life Drain (Killing Palm)
• Profusion (Killing Palm)
• Overpower (quarterstaff attack)
• Conduction (Tempest Flurry)

Spirit Gems

• Herald of Thunder
• Lingering Illusion

Dexterity is one of the most important attributes of a Monk. Therefore, Dexterity Support Gems are essential, which can increase elemental damage, increase potential charge, and increase the range of effect to help better play to Monk’s strengths.

Passive Skills

Every time you level up your Monk, you will receive some points that can be allocated to Passive Ability skill tree. The following nodes are very worthy of priority investment:

• Conservative Casting
• Killer Instinct
• Flow Like Water
• Step Like Mist
• Essence of the Storm
• Immortal Infamy

Ascendancy

In PoE2, Monk has two Ascendancy options: Invoker and Acolyte of Chayula. For the build in this guide, Invoker is a meaningful choice. It can strengthen the use of elemental attacks and accumulation. Enables players to use more lightning attacks to cause higher damage and can shock the surrounding ground.

In summary, building a strong Monk character requires players to make wise choices. By focusing on improving Dexterity and Intelligence, and handpicking a skill combination that suits their play style, players can create a flexible and powerful endgame character. Finally, don’t forget to pay attention to the game giveaway information on IGGM Discord. You may get some free currency, including Exalted Orb, Chaos Orb, etc. Good luck!

In the previous POE 3.25, you will notice that the game began to add gold as a new component of the entire currency system, and it still plays a role in POE 2 early access.

But this does not mean that the original POE2 Currency is not important - in fact, various currencies still bear the main responsibilities of upgrading your equipment, adding slots and even changing modifiers.

At present, the currency in Path of Exile 2 includes many types, but they are all related to each other. These currencies are not just a trading item, but also represent a crafting and upgrading system, and each currency has unique effects.

In addition, some specific currencies can be obtained by completing different tasks to obtain corresponding shards to synthesize; some types of currency can only be collected from the drops after killing monsters. Even some of the unique currencies can only be found in the late game and endgame content.

Therefore, in order to help you better understand and adapt to the various mechanisms and settings related to currency in Path of Exile 2, we will introduce you to those more important types.

Mainstream POE 2 Currency Types

You can get this type of currency randomly by completing adventures related to the main campaign. In the early stages of the campaign, you will mainly get the commonly used Exalted Orb and Regal Orb. In the later stages of the campaign, or after completing some rare and difficult tasks, you may find some rarer currencies, such as Chaos Orb, Divine Orb, etc.

Based on this, the following is a detailed introduction to some mainstream currencies.

1. Exalted Orb

POE 2 Exalted Orb can be used to enhance rare equipment with new random affixes, and is also one of the four most commonly used orbs when you exchange items with other players. It can be dropped by killing monsters, obtaining treasure chests and destructible containers.

In addition, they can also drop from arcanist’s strongboxes and beast crafting recipes. Or you can also get Exalted Orb by downgrading Mirror of Kalandra, or get Exalted shards and then combine them into orbs. However, neither of these two methods is practical.

2. Regal Orb

This orb acts as a currency to upgrade a piece of your magic equipment to a rare, or to add additional affixes to it, and can also be used to exchange for certain skill gems from vendors.

Adding affixes can improve maps or strongboxes, and additional affixes can also produce additional results. Converting magic items to rare items is important for your crafting, as rare items have six affixes, while magic items only have two.

In crafting, using a Path of Exile 2 Regal Orb is an intermediate step to crafting a magic item with good affixes into a rare item. If you need the affixes added by Regal Orb, you can continue with Master Crafting, or use Exalted Orbs to add six affixes. If the affixes are not to your liking, you can use Orb of Annulment to remove an affix randomly.

3. Chaos Orb

In fact, you can use Chaos Orb to re-roll the random modifiers on a piece of your rare equipment, and it is also one of the four most commonly used orbs when exchanging items between players. Chaos Orbs are less common than Exalted Orbs or Regal Orbs, but they are still obtained as drops from monsters.

These orbs are useful in crafting, as they can re-roll all modifiers on a rare item, as well as the number of modifiers. While the final result is unpredictable, it at least gives you the opportunity to get more and better modifiers.

POE 2 Chaos Orbs also play an important role in trading, and are often used to exchange for low- to mid-tier items.

4. Divine Orb

As an extremely rare currency item, you can use Divine Orb to re-roll the values ​​of all random explicit modifiers on a piece of equipment, but can only be used on magic, rare, or unique items. Only the values ​​of affixes with a certain value range will be randomized, because Divine Orb does not change the level of the affix, but only re-rolls within the current level.

When Divine Orb is used on the legacy variant of a unique item, the affixes will be re-rolled to the new value range. When used on magic or rare items, the affixes will be re-rolled, assuming the new range is the same level. It is worth noting that Path of Exile 2 Divine Orb does not change Style Variant of unique items, such as Doryani’s Invitation.

5. Other Main Currencies

In addition, the mainstream currencies include the following types:

• Orb of Transmutation
• Orb of Augmentation
• Orb of Alchemy
• Orb of Chance
• Vaal Orb
• Arcanist’s Etcher
• Armourer’s Scrap
• Artificer’s Orb
• Blacksmith’s Whetstone
• Gemcutter’s Prism
• Glassblower’s Bauble

Special Currency Types

In fact, most currencies can be obtained by completing quests or killing monsters, but there are five currencies that can only be obtained in the endgame and specific end-game activities.

Among them, The Catalyst, Distilled Emotions, and Omen Currencies can only be obtained through Breach, Delirium and Ritual end-game events, while Essence and Greater Essence upgrade materials can be obtained by killing monsters.

• Catalyst: Increases quality of rings and amulets.
• Distilled Emotions: Adds passives to the amulet.
• Omen: Grants specific abilities under certain triggers.
• Mirror of Kalandra: Copies an item perfectly, doesn’t work on Uniques.

How To Use Currency Shards?

When you kill some common monsters or get treasure loot in Path of Exile 2, you can get some currency shards, which can be directly used to craft the corresponding currency. In addition, you can also get currency shards by disassembling or salvaging certain types of items.

• Artificer’s Shard: 10 can form 1 Artificer’s Orb.
• Chance Shard: 10 can form 1 Orb of Chance.
• Chaos Shard: 10 can form 1 Orb of Chaos.
• Exalted Shard: 10 can form 1 Exalted Orb.
• Regal Shard: 10 can form 1 Regal Orb.
• Transmutation Shard: 10 can form 1 Orb of Transmutation.

I hope that after our introduction, you can have a deeper understanding of the currency structure of POE 2. In addition, if you pay attention to the game giveaway information on IGGM Discord in a timely manner, you may get some currency for free. Wish you good luck!
