Understanding Chancing
Using an Orb of Chance is a unique crafting method in Path of Exile 2 that can potentially turn a regular item into a Unique item of the same category. For instance, using it on an evasion-based helmet could yield a Unique helmet with equivalent defense stats. However, it’s important to note that applying an Orb of Chance may destroy the item if it fails, and does not guarantee a unique outcome every time.
There’s no precise percentage for success, but anecdotal evidence suggests low odds based on player experiences. Despite these odds, players still find value in using orbs, as regular items generally lack other uses within the game. For those looking to acquire specific items, consider exploring where to buy items in Path of Exile 2 to enhance your gameplay.
Final Thoughts
The aforementioned Unique items present some of the most compelling options for players considering the chance on equipment pieces. Not only can they contribute significantly to various builds, but they also carry high value within Path of Exile 2’s trading ecosystem. Should you happen to obtain a god roll of any of these items, there will always be potential buyers eager to obtain them.
