This Guide details all the extra bonuses available in each Act of Path of Exile 2’s Campaign, everything from Items to character power.
What Bonuses Are Available in the Campaign
There is a large variety of bonuses available in the campaign of Path of Exile 2, which we’ve given three different categories to: Character Bonuses, Selectable Power, and Items or Currency.
Character Bonuses are those that will permanently affect your character or account. This can range from character stats to account-wide features, such as the Salvage Bench.
Selectable Powers are also bonuses that grant permanent bonuses to our character, but unlike Character Bonuses, they can be changed to the other options at any time. This allows them to be far more flexible.
Items or Currency is just as it sounds, an optional encounter that awards some form of item or currency. These are great pickups for the first character of a league, but not typically after.
Below is a table of all the bonuses the game offers as we progress.
