Every time your character levels up inPath of Exile 2, you’ll get a passive skill point. Based on theclass you start with, you’ll have a predetermined starting point in the massive passive skill tree, but from there, you’re free to build in any direction you want.
Each character has a max level, meaning there are only so many passive skill points you’re able to get through leveling up. That being said, there are other methods for getting passive skill points that will help you get stronger much faster if you know what to do.
How To Get More Passive Skill Points In Path of Exile 2
Aside from leveling up, you can oftentimesget more passive skill points by using Quest items, which appear with a green name on the ground and while in your inventory. As the name would imply, quest items are oftentimes rewards for completing main quests and side quests for the NPCs found in theHUBs of each Act. Not every quest will reward a quest item that gives passive skills, so there’s another method to get additional quest items.
When looking at the Act map, you’ll see skull icons around various areas. These skull icons indicate a boss that can be found while exploring an Instance in that area. Some of theskull icons will have a plus icon next to them, indicating that the boss will drop some sort of Quest item whenever they are defeated. With Instances being randomly generated, finding these bosses will require a bit of exploration. No matter what the Quest items give, it will be a permanent buff to your character, with many of them being additional passive skill points.
Quest items must be used in the inventory after being picked up to actually get the passive skill points.
