How To Identify Gear In Path of Exile 2

by

As an avid gamer with countless hours spent looting and levelling in various RPGs, I can confidently say that Path of Exile 2 has quickly become my new go-to game for action-packed, loot-filled adventure. With its intricate mechanics and immersive world, it’s a true delight to explore every nook and cranny, especially when it comes to gathering gear.

In Path of Exile 2, players can expect a wide variety of equipment at their disposal. Items with increased rarity will boast magical properties that elevate them beyond their apparent worth based on basic statistics. Some items require identification before they can be utilized immediately.

Until an unrecognized piece of equipment is identified, it won’t function properly and its benefits will remain hidden. It’s crucial to identify all gear so you can fully understand its properties before making any decisions about it. Here’s a simple method to mass-identify items at no cost:

How To Identify Gear For Free In Path of Exile 2

To quickly identify multiple items at no cost, simply chat with The Hooded One and opt for the ‘Identify Items’ feature in his conversation window. This action will instantly reveal the names of all the unidentified items within your inventory, using up no Scrolls of Wisdom. The total number of identified items will be displayed on the left side of the screen, eliminating the need to open your inventory and streamlining the process.

This process is exceptionally fast, allowing you to instantly teleport to The Hooded One’s central location in every Act using a town Portal whenever necessary. This way, you can continually assess equipment and prevent your inventory from overflowing by not leaving any loot behind.

Scrolls of Wise Guidance can serve as an alternative to the Hooded One for appraising equipment. They can be acquired through both buying and free discovery during exploration. These scrolls are commonly dropped by enemies of moderate rarity or found within chests. While useful, the Hooded One makes them less necessary once he is rescued.

When Does The Hooded One Join Town In Path of Exile 2

In the opening sequence of the game, you’ll recognize a character known as The Hooded One. Later on in Act 1, this character will transition from appearing only in cinematics to becoming an active Non-Player Character (NPC) in the town. This transformation occurs after you successfully finish “The Mysterious Shade,” which is the fifth mission in Act 1. Once you’ve completed that quest, The Hooded One will become the fourth NPC residing at Clearfell Encampment, joining the existing trio of characters there.

  • Renly – Blacksmith
  • Una – Disenchanter & Merchant
  • Finn – Random gear Merchant

With the Hooded One, you can rearrange your passive abilities to experiment with various character setups, though keep in mind that altering numerous abilities simultaneously may require a considerable amount of gold.
