As one of the most popular games among players, the biggest feature of POE 2 is that players will be buried by a large number of items at the beginning. Whether it is a dozen different currency types or hundreds of unique equipment, or unique currencies that are only needed for special scenes, POE 2 is not short of items.
Therefore, for players, if they want to remember all the items, it is an enormous challenge, especially for rookies who enter Wraeclast for the first time.
In fact, Soul Core is a good example. However, these items will not appear until the later stages of the campaign, so players don’t know much about them. Therefore, we will introduce Soul Cores to players in detail.
The Role Of Soul Cores
In fact, it is a relatively special rune in POE 2, but like other runes, it can increase the fixed properties of items by placing them in empty equipment slots. They can either replace already placed runes or be placed in empty rune slots like runes.
Of course, different types of Soul Cores also have different functions and bring special benefits to players.
Soul Core of Azcapa
For example, Soul Core of Azcapa can bring 15 Spirit to the weapon and increase the rarity of the found items by 10%, which is a very special reward for players because it means that players will have items with higher rarity. This can not only increase the player’s sense of achievement in playing the game, but also attract more players.
After all, players just want to get more rare items and currency in the game. And only after accumulating enough POE 2 Currency and rare items players will have a greater chance of defeating the boss and winning.
Soul Core of Jiquani
Soul Core of Jiquani can help players increase 2% of Life after killing. Don’t underestimate this 2%, maybe it will become the cornerstone of a comeback.
Soul Core of Ticaba
Soul Core of Ticaba will not only reduce the critical damage suffered by players by 10%, but also increase the critical bonus of players’ weapons by 12%, maximizing the function of weapons.
However, players still need to be reminded that although they are harder to get than runes, this does not mean that they are better, but they just help players provide more options to add to their equipment.
How To Get Them?
Ordinary monsters in POE 2 do not drop Soul Cores. Players can obtain it mainly through three methods - Trial of Chaos, Currency Exchange and trade with other players.
Through Trial of Chaos, players can get at least one Soul Core, but this requires players to invest a certain amount of time and effort. However, if the player does not reach the point and fails in Trial of Chaos, all the rewards obtained, including Soul Cores, will disappear. Therefore, this is also an adventure for players.
Although it can also be obtained through Currency Exchange, the price of Soul Cores is not stable and fluctuates randomly, so players can carefully examine it and choose to obtain it at the lowest price.
Compared with the other two methods, trading with players is the fastest way to obtain it, and the price when trading between players is lower than currency exchange. Although this situation rarely happens, it also exists and is feasible.
In short, Soul Cores are indeed a good thing. Players can get different benefits after getting it, but the main thing is that the process of owning it is not simple, and players need to make brave decisions according to the battlefield situation.
