Unique item

See also: List of unique items

Unique items have the same basic statistics as a normal item of the same type, but have specific names, unique artwork, and set lists of modifiers. It is GGG's intention that each base item has at least one corresponding unique item.

Unique items are meant to be less powerful overall than high-level rare items, but offer unique gameplay and allow special character builds to be based around them.

As of version 1.1.1 there are 232 uniques in total, of which 81 were created by player supporters and 59 have variations with alternate artwork.

Obtaining a unique item

• World Drops - Unique items can be found as random drops just the same as any other item. Normal monsters drop items with an item level equal to the monster level, Magic monsters drop items with item level at monster level +1, Rare/Unique monsters drop items with item level at monster level +2.

For example: If a Unique item has a base level of 50 that means it can be dropped by Normal/Magic/Rare/Unique monsters in level 50+ zones, dropped by Magic/Rare/Unique monsters in level 49 zones, and dropped by Rare/Unique monsters in level 48 zones.

• Drop Rates - The actual drop rates of Unique items are unknown to us. The only info we have to go on is:

Chris - "Stratified the drop rates of Unique items so that some of them are more common (especially build-enabling ones), and powerful ones are still extremely rare. The drop rates of Unique items are no longer proportional to their item type. A common Unique ring is now as likely to drop as a common Unique weapon."

• Orb of Chance - There is a very small chance of upgrading a Normal item into a Unique of the same base type when using an Orb of Chance. For example if you want the Andvarius unique ring then you should use an Orb of Chance on a Gold Ring of Normal rarity. Exact success rates for Orbs of Chance are still unknown but if you would like to know more, please visit MonopolyLegend's Orb of Chance Community Log.
• Vendor Recipes - Some unique items can only be produced by using a certain Vendor Recipe. Orb of Chance does not work, and they can't be dropped. The item level of the produced unique will be equal to the lowest ilvl of the components of the recipe. See The Goddess ScornedThe Goddess Scorned

Custom uniques

Custom uniques are unique items specially crafted by members of our very own Path of Exile Community. These members were awarded the chance to create their one-of-a-kind items as a special thanks from GGG for purchasing either a Diamond Supporter Package during the Closed Beta phase of Path of Exile, an Eternal Supporter Package during Open Beta or simply the Custom Unique option in the Microtransaction shop. Here before you is a list of all current in-game custom uniques and their creators. The amount of Diamond, Eternal and Custom Item packages sold is over 350 so you can expect this list to grow substantially in the future unless, of course, some people prefer to remain anonymous.

Legacy variants

Main page: Legacy Items

Like all items, unique items can have legacy variants. This means for some uniques there exist better versions that aren't dropping anymore. The main source of legacy items are nerfs that affect future item drops, but leave the already existing items as they were. The only way to get these legacy items is from players who had them before they were changed.

Other information

• A Unique item, easily spotted by its orange text and orange banner, is one that always spawns with the same mods (sometimes with different values) on the same base item with the same requirements.
• Unique items may have their mod values rerolled using Blessed or Divine Orbs. Some mods, however, have static values and cannot be changed (e.g. Voll's ProtectorVoll's Protector
  Holy ChainmailArmour: (388-582)
  Energy Shield: (82-122)
  Movement Speed: -5%Requires Level 35, 53 Str, 53 Int(100-150)% increased Armour and Energy Shield
  50% reduced maximum Mana
  Gain a Power Charge for each Enemy you hit with a Critical Strike
  Inner ConvictionAlthough a great leader during the war,
  Voll proved disastrous in times of peace.).
• Mirrors of Kalandra and Orbs of Scouring CANNOT be used on Unique items.
• Possessing a Keystone passive and equipping a Unique item which grants the same Keystone ability will NOT double the effects of the ability - i.e. the effects do not stack. For example, if you have character that has activated the 'Acrobatics' Keystone and is also equipped with the Hyrri's IreHyrri's Ire
  Zodiac LeatherEvasion: (2049-3142)
  Movement Speed: -3%Requires Level 65, 197 Dex+(40-50) to Dexterity

  +30% chance to Suppress Spell DamageHyrri loosed a barrage of arrows,

  only oppression can ferment. Unique armor, that character will have just 30% Dodge and not 60%.
• Demigod's PresenceDemigod's Presence
  Gold AmuletRequires Level 8(12-20)% increased Rarity of Items found+20% to all Elemental Resistances
  20% increased Character SizeThe maidens of court swoon to see
  the challengers crushed at your feet., a Closed Beta exclusive item, can no longer be obtained as an event reward.
• The Item Level of the Unique affects how many sockets can appear on it. While the stats may be the same a Unique with a high Item Level may have a higher selling price when trading with other players.
• All mods that include 'when on Low Life' are activated when Life drops below 35%. Mods that include 'when on Full Life' require the player to have 100% of their Life total.
• "Gems in this item are Supported by level X [gem]" means they are supported by a Support Gem of level X. That gem (probably) has a mana multiplier, which is applied. "Gems in this item have [property]" is not using a specific support gem, so no there is no mana multiplier.
• There is different Tiers of unique. On drop, the rarity roll determines not only if the item will be unique but also from which tier. A random unique will then be pick from the determined tier's pool. When chancing, the probability of obtaining each tier is fixed. If there is no unique of the rolled tier or lower, a rare will be chanced instead.
