Obtaining the Ingenuity Utility Belt in Path of Exile 2: A Comprehensive Guide
The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a highly sought-after unique item in Path of Exile 2, crucial for various builds. Acquiring it, however, requires significant endgame progression. While purchasing it with Divine Orbs is the most reliable method, this guide details how to obtain it through gameplay.
Obtaining the Ingenuity Utility Belt
The Ingenuity Utility Belt drops exclusively from the King in the Mists, a challenging endgame Ritual Boss. To access this encounter, you'll need "An Audience With the King," which is used on the Realmgate in the Atlas. Defeating the King in the Mists grants a chance to obtain the belt.
The King in the Mists has a unique drop pool:
- The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
Beetlebite
From Nothing
Pragmatism- Ingenuity
While not guaranteed, the Ingenuity Utility Belt's drop rate is approximately one in five successful encounters. Higher difficulty tiers increase the drop chance but also significantly increase the boss's challenge.
Alternatively, purchasing the belt from the PoE 2 trade site costs roughly 15-50 Divine Orbs, depending on its stats. This is considerably more expensive but ensures a high-roll item.
Acquiring "An Audience With the King"
"An Audience With the King" can be obtained via:
- Trade Site: Expect to pay around 4-7
Divine Orbs. - Ritual Maps: This item has a low chance of appearing as a Ritual favor. The initial cost (2700-3900 Tribute) is high. You can defer the item to obtain it later at a reduced cost (typically within 1-4 Ritual maps).
If you obtain "An Audience With the King" before being ready for the King in the Mists, consider seeking a carry or selling the item.
Orb of Chance and the Ingenuity Utility Belt
No, the Ingenuity Utility Belt cannot be obtained using 
Orb of Chance. It's a unique drop exclusive to the King in the Mists and is not part of the regular loot pool. Trading remains the only alternative to farming it.
