How to Fix your Character's Resists in the Campaign
Sometimes your character has a small problem with it – you get a big gear upgrade but that item lacks a resistance modifier you need, or you want a small amount of damage of a particular element.
- In Path of Exile 1, players solved these issues with Helena’s crafting bench.
- In Path of Exile 2, the crafting bench is not going to exist.
A new system, Runes & Sockets, replaces most early game crafting bench uses. These runes will add one additional modifier, often simple stats like +12% cold resistance, or a little more damage on weapons.
Runes tell you what they do on them.
This guide is based upon pre-release information (no leaks) and may change in the first few days as we learn more about Path of Exile 2.
Maximum Sockets
Ordinarily, chest armour and two-handed martial weapons can have up to two item sockets. One-handed martial weapons, gloves, helmets, and boots can have up to one.
Quivers, Caster Weapons, and Jewellery cannot have sockets.
