Path of Exile 2's skill gem system is a unique approach to character abilities and progression. Unlike traditional aRPGs that unlock skills through level progression, PoE 2 uses a dynamic gem-based system.

Skill Gems: The Basics

Skill gems come in two main types:

• Uncut gems: Raw forms found as drops from enemies
• Regular gems: Created by engraving uncut gems

The system allows players to:

• Create new spells by engraving uncut gems
• Upgrade existing abilities
• Switch between different abilities freely
• Customize their combat style without level restrictions

Obtaining Skill Gems:

• Drop from all enemy types
• Higher chance from elite enemies and bosses
• No specific farming method currently known
• Regular gameplay yields steady gem acquisition

Additional Gem Types:

• Support gems: Modify existing abilities
• Buff gems: Add extra effects to skills
• Both types drop similarly to skill gems

The skill gem system offers unprecedented flexibility in character building, allowing players to experiment with different abilities regardless of their character level. As Path of Exile 2 is still in Early Access, this system may evolve with future updates.
