Mastering the Ingenuity Utility Belt in Path of Exile 2: A Comprehensive Guide

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a coveted unique item in Path of Exile 2, highly sought after for its build-defining capabilities. Acquiring it, however, presents a significant challenge. This guide outlines the methods for obtaining this powerful belt, catering to both dedicated grinders and those with deeper pockets.

How to Obtain the 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 encounter, you'll need the "An Audience With the King" item, used at the Realmgate on the Atlas. Defeating the King in the Mists offers a chance to obtain the belt, but it's not guaranteed. The drop rate is estimated at roughly one in five attempts. Other potential drops include:

1. The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
2. Beetlebite
3. From Nothing
4. Pragmatism
5. Ingenuity

The King in the Mists' difficulty scales with higher tiers, increasing both challenge and drop chance. His attacks can be devastating, often one-shotting unprepared builds. However, familiarity with the King in the Mists from Act 1 can provide valuable insight.

Alternatively, purchasing the Ingenuity Utility Belt from the PoE 2 trade site is a more reliable, albeit expensive, option. Expect to pay 15-50 Divine Orbs, depending on the item's specific rolls.

Securing "An Audience With the King"

There are two avenues to acquire this crucial item:

• Trade Site/Currency Exchange: This item typically trades for 4-7 Divine Orbs.
• Ritual Maps: "An Audience With the King" has a low chance of appearing as a Ritual favor. These favors are costly (2700-3900 Tribute), often making immediate purchase prohibitive. The "Defer" option allows you to postpone the purchase, guaranteeing its reappearance at a reduced cost within 1-4 Ritual maps.

Players obtaining "An Audience With the King" but lacking the readiness to face the King in the Mists can opt for a carry service or sell the item.

Orb of Chance Ineffectiveness

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is not obtainable through regular means, including Orb of Chance. It's exclusively dropped by the King in the Mists and cannot be acquired via other methods except trading. This means items like Orb of Chance, Astramentis, or Polcirkeln are ineffective in obtaining it.
