PoE2: Guide to Acquiring Ingenuity Utility Belt

Path of Exile 2 Ingenuity Utility Belt: The Ultimate Guide

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a coveted unique item in Path of Exile 2, crucial for many high-level builds. However, acquiring it isn't easy. This guide details how to obtain this powerful belt, whether through challenging combat or the in-game economy.

Obtaining the Ingenuity Utility Belt

Ingenuity Utility Belt

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a unique drop from the King in the Mists, a challenging endgame Ritual Boss. To access this fight, you'll need the "An Audience With the King" item, used at the Realmgate on the Atlas. Defeating the King in the Mists isn't guaranteed to yield the belt; it's one of five possible unique drops, with an approximate drop rate of one in five attempts. The King's other potential drops include:

The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
Beetlebite
From Nothing
Pragmatism

The King in the Mists' difficulty scales with higher tiers, increasing both challenge and the potential drop rate of unique items. His attacks are similar to the Act 1 King in the Mists, providing a degree of familiarity.

Alternatively, you can purchase the Ingenuity Utility Belt from the PoE 2 trade site. Expect to pay 15-50 Divine Orbs, depending on the item's stats. This is a significantly more expensive option but guarantees acquisition.

Acquiring "An Audience With the King"

The "An Audience With the King" item can be obtained in two ways:

Trade Site: Purchase it for approximately 4-7 Divine Orbs.
Ritual Maps: This item has a low chance of appearing as a Ritual favor. The initial cost is high (2700-3900 Tribute), but you can defer the item to obtain it later at a reduced cost in subsequent Ritual maps (typically within 1-4 maps).

If you obtain "An Audience With the King" but aren't ready for the King in the Mists encounter, consider selling it or seeking a carry for a small fee (1-2 Divine Orbs).

Can Orb of Chance be Used?

Orb of Chance No. The Ingenuity Utility Belt is not found in the regular loot pool and cannot be obtained using Orbs of Chance. It's exclusively dropped by the endgame King in the Mists.

This comprehensive guide should help you secure the Ingenuity Utility Belt in Path of Exile 2. Remember to choose the method that best suits your gameplay style and resources.
