Monsters
Monsters are the primary enemies encountered by the player. Killed monsters may grant experience and drop items and gold. Monsters can belong to four rarity types:
- Normal: This is the weakest and most common rarity of monsters, but such enemies appear in larger numbers, often forming 'monster packs'. They can have some innate abilities but do not have any modifiers by default (though they can have properties granted to them by nearby rare monsters).
- Magic: These monsters are more powerful and less common. They will randomly generate with one or two modifiers that empower them and improve their drops.
- Rare: These are the least common and most powerful type of randomly generated monsters. They can have multiple modifiers which can significantly increase their difficulty. Certain monster types have different base abilities and stats when they appear as rare monsters, beyond the random modifiers affecting them. Some of the modifiers that can affect a rare monster can take the form of auras or other buffs that empower other nearby monsters, and the combination of modifiers that affect any specific rare monster can make it more dangerous than a similarly levelled unique monster.
- Unique: These monsters are not randomly generated. Specific unique monsters are guaranteed to appear in specific campaign areas and maps when they are inhabited by a boss, as well as certain Atlas encounters such as rogue exiles. These monsters have carefully constructed abilities and move sets to provide a challenging and rewarding fight, and many in the campaign are required to be killed to complete Quests.
Boss
Bosses are unique monsters typically encountered in boss arenas. Boss arenas are usually preceded by checkpoints. Dying against a boss will reset the encounter.
Mechanics
Many bosses are capable of using deadly attacks that ignore block and evasion, indicated by the boss flashing red and giving a sound cue before unleashing the attack.
Bosses take less damage when they first spawn in. This damage reduction gradually tapers away over time, and tapers off faster while the boss is moving. Bosses which cannot or barely move have a shorter damage reduction period.

Rarity
All monsters, strongboxes and most items can have one of four different rarities. The common rarity is normal, followed by magic, rare and unique. Some items such as currency do not have rarity; however, they do have internal measures of "valuable"-ness or "rarity" through weights which affects their drop rates.
Sources of #% increased Item Rarity and #% increased Rarity of Items found (also known as IIR) affect both the rarity of items dropped, as well improving the random modifiers that can roll when an item is identified through "unidentified tier" items. This effect is known as the "item rarity tier system" and is explained further below. Some sources of IIR have diminishing returns. Different sources of IIR (e.g. items vs area modifiers vs monster IIR multipliers) are multiplicative with each other. The combined effect of IIR, IIQ (increased item quantity), and party bonuses is colloquially referred to as magic find/MF.
Item rarity
Most craftable items rolls with a random rarity - normal items being the most common and unique items the least common.
Magic, rare and unique items found on the ground are unidentified and you must use Scroll of WisdomScroll of WisdomStack Size: 40Identifies an itemRight click this item then left click an unidentified item to apply it. to discover their properties.
Rarities
Normal items (also called base items) are the "default" state of items without any explicit modifiers/affixes. Some specific base types have implicit modifiers.
A normal item can be upgraded into a magic item using an Orb of TransmutationOrb of TransmutationStack Size: 40Upgrades a Normal item to a Magic item with 1 modifierRight click this item then left click a normal item to apply it., guaranteeing one affix, or a rare item using an Orb of AlchemyOrb of AlchemyStack Size: 20Upgrades a Normal or Magic item to a Rare item with 4 random modifiersRight click this item then left click a normal or magic item to apply it.

Magic are the upgraded versions of normal items with magical properties given by affixes, base item is the same as in normal rarity, but now you can have up to one prefix and one suffix.

Rare items are given a randomly generated name.
Unidentifed rare items generate with 4, 5, or 6 modifiers with a ratio of 8:3:1 respectively.
Flasks and Charms cannot be of rare rarity.
Unique items have the same base properties as normal item of the same type, but have specific unique name and artwork, as well as their own set lists of modifiers instead of random affixes. While overall it is better to have the highest rarity of item (e.g. rare items are always more powerful than magic items), this is not the case with unique items; most of the time they provide different and specific modifiers that can't be found on other items.
Items of Unique rarity often contain a set of mods which provide build-defining effects and/or quality of life to game play.
Some unique items are drop-restricted; these items can only be obtained from specific sources or through specific methods, and cannot normally obtained or be upgraded into using an Orb of ChanceOrb of ChanceStack Size: 10Unpredictably either upgrades a Normal item to Unique rarity or destroys itRight click this item then left click a normal item to apply it.. They are also excluded from pools of rewards containig random unique items.
Monster rarity
Regular monsters can spawn as normal, magic, or rare. Typically most monsters in a pack will be normal; however, the entire pack can be magic instead. Only one or a few monsters in a pack will appear as rare, and will almost always be a pack leader monster type if applicable.
By default, magic and rare monsters can roll up to 2 or 4 monster modifiers. The specific pool of monster modifiers it can roll are dependent on the specific monster type; certain combinations of monster types and monster modifiers are not possible for balance purposes.
The rarity and monster modifier(s) provide inherent bonuses to its life, damage, item rarity, and item quantity.
Unique monsters are special, and almost always categorized as a type of boss, found in designated arenas. Unique monsters typically cannot have monster modifiers, though they may have inherent modifiers such as Cannot be Slowed. They may have a unique varied pool of skills. Unique monsters have significantly increased life, damage, item rarity, and item quantity bonuses. They also have certain restrictions, such as disabling the ability to create a portal or preventing changing your character's equipment.
Chest/strongbox rarity
Chests and strongboxes typically have rarities. These rarities do affect the items found in the chest or strongbox. Strongboxes can be crafted with currency; chests typically cannot. Items from both are affected by area IIR multipliers, but not by player IIR multipliers.
Item rarity multplier mechanics
Item rarity multipliers come in different "buckets" which are multiplicative with each other:
| "Bucket" | Sources | Diminishingreturns? |
| Player IIR | Item modifiersBuffs | Yes |
| Area IIR | Waystone modifiersTablet modifiersCoalesced Corruption modifiersCleansed map modifiersDiluted Liquid GreedDiluted Liquid GreedStack Size: 10Emotion Tier: 3Removes a random modifer and Augments a Rare Basic Jewel with anew guaranteed Crafted | No |
| Monster IIR | Inherent base multipliersInherent multipliers from monster rarityAzmerian wisps | Unknown(likely no) |
| Deliriousness | Delirium mirrorsInstilled mapsSimulacrum | Unknown |
According to player testing as well as information shared privately from Path of Exile 2 developers to Kripparrian, player IIR anecdotally has the most noticable benefits between 100-150% with significant diminishing returns and worse opportunity cost after 150%. Area IIR is not affected by diminishing returns at all.
Minions and companions use their owner's player IIR values when they kill enemies. They will not benefit from any IIR granted to them directly (e.g. via Necromantic Talisman). Other allies (e.g. NPCs) and other players and their minions in a party use their own player IIR values.

Although it should theoretically result in random item drops always dropping as normal rarity, it appears to be possible to still drop magic items. It will not affect guaranteed magic or rare item drops from hidden modifiers on certain bosses or items from chests.
Item rarity tier system
Modifiers and stats that influence the rarity of dropped items function using a skewed "10-tier" rarity system. When an item drops, one of these tiers is selected; the item rarity stat increases the chances to select a higher tier.
The "% Increased Rarity of Items Found" modifier generally increases the likelihood of finding higher-rarity items (e.g., magic, rare, unique). However, its impact on currency item drops varies by game mechanics.
How the 10-tier system works is as follows:
- No apparent changes to drops
- Increases the chance for an item that can have rarity to drop as magic, rare, or unique. This conversely reduces the chance for dropped items to be converted to gold
- Decreases the chance for a unique item to be common tier; increases the chance for a unique item to be uncommon, rare, or mythic tier.
- Increases the chance to upgrade currency to "Rare" currency (e.g. Exalted OrbExalted OrbStack Size: 20Augments a Rare item with a new random modifierRight click this item then left click a rare item to apply it. Rare items can have up to six random modifiers., Orb of AlchemyOrb of AlchemyStack Size: 20Upgrades a Normal or Magic item to a Rare item with 4 random modifiersRight click this item then left click a normal or magic item to apply it. Current modifiers are not retained., Regal OrbRegal OrbStack Size: 20Upgrades a Magic item to a Rare item, adding 1 modifierRight click this item then left click a magic item to apply it. Current modifiers are retained and a new one is added., etc.)
- Increases the chance to not drop base types that are significantly lower level requirement than the area's drop level.
- Does not affect the outcomes of modifiers on unidentified items.
Rarity tier 6-9 / Unidentified (Tier 2-5):
- Implements the unidentified modifier tier system (e.g. Unidentified (Tier 5)).
- Unidentified tiers only begin appearing at certain drop level/item level thresholds. Unidentified tiers only affect items when they are being identified. It does not affect modifiers added after the item is identified, such as through crafting.
- Unidentified modifier tiers function differently for magic and rare items: Magic: Each Unid tier culls a certain percentage of tiers for each modifier type separately. At least one tier of each modifier can always roll. For example, culling 50% of tiers for a mod with 3 eligible tiers prevents the lowest tier from rolling. Rare: Each Unid tier culls all modifiers requiring an item level below a certain value. The modifier's tier itself is not relevant.
Unidentified tiers
| Unid Tier | Minimumitem level | Magic modtier culling | Rare modilvl culling |
| Unid Tier 2 | ilvl 20 | 50% | < ilvl 11 |
| Unid Tier 3 | ilvl 34 | < 68% | < ilvl 23 |
| Unid Tier 4 | ilvl 52 | #% | < ilvl 35 |
| Unid Tier 5 | ilvl 65 | #% | < ilvl 48 |
Tier culling will not remove the highest possible tier of a modifier type if it would be excluded entirely from being able to roll. In other words, at least one tier of each mod will always be eligible to roll, respecting item level.

Rogue Exiles
Rogue exiles are a special type of monsters. Wandering around Wraeclast, these hostile exiles seek out a fight to the death. Rogue exiles start appearing in Act 4 of the campaign and have an ~8% chance to appear in maps.
Mechanics
Rogue exiles are Unique monsters based on playable characters and can use player skills, including Dodge Roll. They use a more advanced AI than other monsters with smart targeting and smart pathfinding. They can also use life flasks to heal themselves mid-combat.
Rogue exiles come equipped with their own set of equipment, which can occasionally include drop-enabled unique items, and stats from these items will affect the rogue exile. They may use items with socketed augments which are retained when dropped. Any unique items they carry will be displayed under their modifiers. When defeated, rogue exiles will drop all the equipment they were carrying. If you are defeated by a rogue exile, they will open a Town Portal and leave the area.
A Rogue exile captured in a Ritual generates new equipment each time they are respawned, including unique items.
Rogue exiles that spawn near abysses will respawn as a Lichborn Exile when killed, imbuing them with additional abilities and Abyssal modifiers. Their name will display as "<Rogue Exile's name>, the Lich Born". Lichborn exiles can drop the exclusive unique item Heart of the WellHeart of the WellDiamondLimited to: 1<Custom Desecrated prefix><Custom Desecrated prefix><Custom Desecrated suffix><Custom Desecrated suffix><List of mods>Countless souls scream in agonising harmony,forever sinking under the weight of the newly dead.Place into an allocated Jewel Socket on the Passive Skill Tree.
