Sometimes, luck in Path of Exile 2 strikes when you least expect it. That’s exactly what happened to me just two days ago. I was casually clearing a Tier 6 map, farming for some basic currency and crafting bases, when out of nowhere—a unique item dropped. Not just any unique. It was Kaom’s Power Unleashed, one of the most overpowered Uniques currently trending in PoE 2. With just one item, my entire build transformed—and honestly, it felt like my game was complete.

Let me walk you through what makes this moment so special, and how PoE 2 items like this can reshape your entire gameplay. Many players grind for days, even weeks, trying to put together a functional build. Some spend endless Divine Orbs, Exalted Orbs, or Chaos Orbs just trying to craft the perfect weapon or armor. But sometimes, all it takes is one lucky drop.

So what did I do next? I instantly rebuilt my character around this unique. I swapped out my passive tree points, changed my support gems, and even upgraded my flasks. It cost a little currency, sure, but it was worth it. For anyone looking to do something similar, here’s my strategy for getting strong fast without wasting time:

Always check item bases when they drop. Don’t ignore those orange-text Uniques. Some of them, like Kaom’s Power Unleashed, are game-changers. Learn which PoE 2 items are valuable.

Set up loot filters smartly. A good filter will highlight high-value bases and unique items. If you’re unsure which filters to use, try Neversink’s filter—it’s updated constantly for the meta.

Use trading to your advantage. If you’re not lucky like I was, you can still buy PoE 2 items using the currency you earn. I traded 150 Chaos Orbs last league for Flesh-Eater’s Fangs, and it was well worth the price.

Join Discord trading communities. Sometimes, players will sell undervalued gear, especially after resets or updates. That’s a great chance to buy PoE 2 items at a lower price than official trade sites.

Run content that drops more loot. Expedition, Delirium, and Harbinger encounters are currently some of the best for farming currency and PoE 2 items. Focus on these if you’re low on cash but high on time.

Ever since I picked up that unique item, I’ve been running maps 20% faster. My DPS skyrocketed, and my survivability increased too thanks to its built-in Fire Resistance and max HP boost. This one drop turned my average Fire Juggernaut into a beast that melts bosses and never dies.

And that’s the real beauty of PoE 2: Every map has a chance to change your story. You never know when a random monster might drop something that completely upgrades your build. If you’re still struggling to get your gear together, don’t worry. Farm smart, loot carefully, and when in doubt—buy PoE 2 items from reliable sources to fill in the gaps.

Whether you get lucky like I did or build your power piece by piece, the grind is always worth it. Happy hunting, Exile!
