Unique Items have the same basic statistics as a normal item of the same type, but have specific names, unique artwork, and set lists of modifiers. It is GGG's intention that each base item has at least one corresponding unique item.
Unique items are meant to be less powerful overall than high-level rare items, but offer unique gameplay and allow special character builds to be based around them.
A compilation of all known Unique Items. As of Version 0.11.6f there are 190 Uniques in total, 54 of which were created by Diamond Supporters and 38 items have alternate artwork available.
For information on the purpose and design of Unique items, please take a look at the Dev Diary on the official Path of Exile website.
Current Unique Items
Accessories: Amulets · Belts · Rings · Quivers
Armour: Body Armour · Boots · Gloves · Helmets · Shields

For a complete listing of every Unique item, please view the Full Unique Item Index.
Obtaining a Unique Item
- World Drops - Unique items can be found as random drops just the same as any other item. Normal monsters drop items with an item level equal to the monster level, Magic monsters drop items with item level at monster level +1, Rare/Unique monsters drop items with item level at monster level +2.
- For example: If a Unique item has a base level of 50 that means it can be dropped by Normal/Magic/Rare/Unique monsters in level 50+ zones, dropped by Magic/Rare/Unique monsters in level 49 zones, and dropped by Rare/Unique monsters in level 48 zones.
- Drop Rates - The actual drop rates of Unique items are unknown to us. The only info we have to go on is:
Chris - "Stratified the drop rates of Unique items so that some of them are more common (especially build-enabling ones), and powerful ones are still extremely rare. The drop rates of Unique items are no longer proportional to their item type. A common Unique ring is now as likely to drop as a common Unique weapon."
- Orb of Chance - There is a very small chance of upgrading a Normal item into a Unique of the same base type when using an Orb of Chance. For example if you want the Andvarius unique ring then you should use an Orb of Chance on a Gold Ring of Normal rarity. Exact success rates for Orbs of Chance are still unknown but if you would like to know more, please visit MonopolyLegend's Orb of Chance Community Log.
- Event Prizes - Occasionally, Unique items are offered as top tier prizes in special Event Competitions. Please note that not all events offer Unique items as prizes.
Vendor Recipes
All currently known Vendor Recipes pertaining to Unique items.
- Recipe: 1× Normal, 1× Magic, 1× Rare and 1× Unique item of the same base type.
- Reward: 5× Orbs of Chance (Same reward if all items are unidentified)
Custom Uniques
Custom uniques are unique items specially crafted by members of our very own Path of Exile Community. These members were awarded the chance to create their one-of-a-kind items as a special thanks from GGG for purchasing either a Diamond Supporter Package during the Closed Beta phase of Path of Exile, an Eternal Supporter Package during Open Beta or simply the Custom Unique option in the Microtransaction shop. Here before you is a list of all current in-game custom uniques and their creators. The amount of Diamond, Eternal and Custom Item packages sold is well over 250 so you can expect this list to grow substantially in the future unless, of course, some people prefer to remain anonymous.
Extra Notes
- A Unique item, easily spotted by its orange text and orange banner, is one that always spawns with the same mods (sometimes with different values) on the same base item with the same requirements.
- Unique items may have their mod values rerolled using Blessed or Divine Orbs. Some mods, however, have static values and cannot be changed.
- Mirrors of Kalandra and Orbs of Scouring CANNOT be used on Unique items.
- Possessing a Keystone passive and equipping a Unique item which grants the same Keystone ability will NOT double the effects of the ability - i.e. the effects do not stack. For example, if you have character that has activated the 'Acrobatics' Keystone and is also equipped with the Hyrri's Ire Unique armor, that character will have just 20% Dodge and not 40%.
- Demigod's PresenceDemigod's PresenceAmulet Skin, a Closed Beta exclusive item, can no longer be obtained as an event reward.
- The Item Level of the Unique affects how many sockets can appear on it. While the stats may be the same a Unique with a high Item Level may have a higher selling price when trading with other players.
- All mods that include 'when on Low Life' are activated when Life drops below 35%. Mods that include 'when on Full Life' require the player to have 100% of their Life total.
- "Gems in this item are Supported by level X [gem]" means they are supported by a Support Gem of level X. That gem (probably) has a mana multiplier, which is applied. "Gems in this item have [property]" is not using a specific support gem, so no there is no mana multiplier.[1]
- There is different Tier of unique. On drop, the rarity roll determines not only if the item will be unique but also from wich tier. A random unique will then be pick from the determined tier's pool. When chancing, the probability of obtaining each tier is fixed. If there is no unique of the rolled tier or lower, a rare will be chanced instead.[2]
