A tool designed for the upcoming Path of Exile 2, this resource estimates the number of attempts needed to obtain a specific unique item by using a currency called Chance Orbs. The function relies on several variables, including the base item type, its rarity, and the overall probability of a successful outcome. For example, a user inputs the desired unique item (e.g., “Headhunter” converted from a Leather Belt) and the calculator provides an estimated number of Chance Orbs required, along with associated costs in other currencies.
Such estimation tools are valuable for players planning their character builds and crafting strategies. Accurate assessments of the resources required to acquire desired items permit efficient resource allocation, mitigating the risk of wasting in-game currency. Furthermore, these calculators provide context for the relative difficulty of obtaining different unique items, allowing players to make informed decisions about target items. The genesis of these tools stems from the inherent randomness in Path of Exile’s item acquisition system and the player-driven desire for optimization.
