  • What Are PoE 2 Charms?
  • All Charm Types

With all the big changes that happened in Path of Exile 2 that most players, particularly PoE vets, aren’t used to, there are some things that just need a bit extra explaining. One of the biggest things I found within the sequel that confused me at first was the use of Charms. Since we don’t have magic flasks anymore, it only makes sense that there would be a sort of replacement that uses charges, but it’s still quite different. Let’s take a look at Charms in Path of Exile 2 and how they work.

Charms are, in the most basic sense, a way to protect yourself from various ailments, effects, and damage types. The most basic of them give you a certain percentage of elemental resistance, while others can do things like prevent you from being stunned or frozen. Each one has a specific use, and they can be a massive game changer.

However, there’s a bit of a twist when it comes to how they work. Much like flasks, they have a certain amount of charges that can be used, and they only activate when you take a certain type of damage. That said, they also differ from flasks in the sense that they cannot be manually activated and you can’t see how many charges remain on each of them. Each flask can be crafted on, as well as recharged at any Well in a town.

Jordan is an experienced fantasy writer who spends hours behind her laptop, and lost in the pages of a book. She strives to be a successful gaming blogger, and has no complaint about the hours of game time she used to increase her knowledge of all things “geek”. She primarily writes gaming articles and fantasy novels. Ark: Survival Evolved is a favorite, along with Diablo 3, Warframe and Minecraft lately, though you can’t forget the good old Magic the Gathering card game! Writing about games truly gives her joy as it gives her another perspective to look at games from, a reason to really look into the mechanics of the game.
