Item

From Path of Exile Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Items in Path of Exile are used to represent not just a character's equipment but a variety of other game features. Items can be moved around between locations using the mouse cursor, including the inventory, worn items, stashes, and others, as well as on the ground. Not all types of items can be moved to all item locations. Different item types take a different amount of space in grid based item locations such as inventory and stashes.

Depending on their type, items can have attributes such as rarity, quality, item affixes and item level.

Loot items

In Path of Exile, "items" usually refers to loot items. These are items that have a physical representation in the game world as loot. They are often dropped by slain monsters or loot containers. When a player commands their character to pick up an item, it goes into the character's inventory where the player can then make use of it. In towns or hideouts, items can be stored in the stash to free up inventory space. Items can be purchased from or sold to NPC vendors. Most items can also be traded between players.

Equipment

Main page: Equipment

Equipment categories includes armour, weapons, jewellery, and flasks. Rarity is indicated by text colour (normal, magic, rare or unique).

Currency

Main page: Currency

Currency items are used to modify other items, and are also used for trading or gained from vendors for selling equipment. They have a light brown text colour by default.

Divination cards

Main page: Divination card

Sets of Divination cards can be exchanged for a certain item, and have specific drop locations. They have a light-cyan text colour by default.

Quest items

Main page: Quest items

Quest items are found on the ground like other items, or given as rewards for completing quests. They cannot be placed anywhere but in inventory or back on the ground. By default they have a bright green text colour.

Gems

Main page: Skill gem

Skills in Path of Exile are granted by gems which are treated as regular items. The skill can only be used when the appropriate gem is socketed in an equipment item being worn by the character. Skill gems, by default, appear in blue-green text when on the ground.

Other items

Cosmetic items

Main page: Cosmetic item

Cosmetic items use a separate cosmetic tab for managing them and applies to the whole character instead of on specific items.

Hideout decorations

Hideout decorations and crafting benches, when not in use in a hideout, appear as items in a hideout tab. They can be right clicked from this screen to add them to a hideout.
