How to Acquire Unique Relics in PoE 2
There are two primary methods for obtaining Unique Relics in Path of Exile 2:
- Acquisition as a random drop from Zarokh, the Temporal during a standard run (requires a Level 75+ Djinn Barya).
- Trading with other players.
The rarity of Unique relics drops is influenced by the value of the Unique item obtained from defeating Zarokh with that Relic equipped. For instance, The Last Flame is highly sought after, as it provides Temporalis—a powerhouse item—making it the rarest of the Unique Relics. Conversely, The Burden of Leadership drops with greater frequency since its reward, Sekhema’s Resolve Ring, is less desirable.
This disparity in value is also reflected in market prices. Players can trade The Last Flame for as much as 250 Divine Orbs, whereas The Burden of Leadership is significantly less expensive.
Farming Unique Relics from Zarokh in PoE 2
Farming Unique Relics at the Trial of the Sekhemas is a relatively uncomplicated process. To optimize your chances, you will need:
- To stack Relics with the #% increased quantity of Relics dropped by Monsters modifier. The maximum increase you can achieve is 20% on a single Relic.
- The Enchanted Urn Minor Boon (provides a 30% increase in the Effect of Non-Unique Relics) from the Merchant.
Although the Enchanted Urn Minor Boon is not guaranteed in the Merchant’s inventory, you can enhance your chances by utilizing a mix of the Silver Tongue Boon (which reduces Merchant prices) and the Chipped Dice Boon (allowing you to reroll the Merchant’s stock).This strategy can effectively clear out the Merchant’s offerings, providing a high likelihood of acquiring the Enchanted Urn before the conclusion of your run.
