How to get Spirit - Path of Exile 2
In the dangerous world of magical powers, a little Spirit can go a long way.
Spirit is a hugely important resource for your characters in Path of Exile 2. While Mana is the main source of energy used to cast abilities and spells, Spirit is used for buffs, debuffs, and those all-important minion summons.
How to get Spirit - Path of Exile 2
One of the most common ways to get more Spirit is from items. Some weapons and items will grant increased Spirit as one of the affix bonuses if you are lucky enough to loot one or have it roll from an upgrade. It might sound frustrating, but by the nature of Path of Exile 2, you will need to keep an eye on every item drop, as armor pieces, jewelry, or weapons can all give you some extra spirit, depending on their affix roles. Some Uniques will also grant spirit, so keep an eye open for organe items.
Some items also have a built-in Spirit value in their profiles and are key for Spirit builds, such as the Scepter.
There are also optional bosses in the game that you can track down, and killing them will award you additional Spirit on that character. The following optional campaign bosses will all grant extra Spirit if you manage to defeat them:
- Act 1: King in the Mists - Freythorn
- Act 3: Ignagduk, The Bog Witch - The Azak Bog
You should also keep a close eye on your passive skill trees. The Witch Infernalist is a good example, as the Beidat's Will node will grant you additional Spirit.

You get spirit from a specific quest reward as a baseline and then items can add more.
When you are engraving a new support gem to a spirit gem it notes on the support gem the increased spirit cost it will incur to the spirit gem. Conceptually the idea is auras cost a certain amount of spirit. Making the aura more powerful then should cost even more spirit.-

I mean, you just put the piece back on and then you’re good? It’s much worse when it’s something like a chest piece with +dex and you unequip it to craft or test another armor only to discover the +dex was required to satisfy the armor’s dex requirements and now you can’t re-equip the chest piece without swapping a bunch of other +dex items on first and then unequipping those.
I agree they could use some better UI around managing/showing spirit in general though.

Not just items. By the time you finish the campaign you should have 100 spirit.

You can get a total of 100 spirit through the campaign.
The article lists the 30 spirit each you get from Act 1/3, but you also get another 40 spirit from killing the same boss in Act 3 Cruel difficulty.
Spirit is mainly used by persistent skills (for example auras) or persistent minions (for example skeletons). Non-persistent minions like zombies or raging spirits don’t use any spirit, but they only last for a short duration.
If you plan to use spirit, your best bet is to make sure you’re always using a scepter, since they always provide an additional 100 spirit as a base implicit. After that, yeah you pretty much have to get lucky with finding/crafting affixes that provide extra spirit.-
I was a little surprised to discover spirit gems took up active skill gem slots. I just assumed the purpose of spirit was its own balancing mechanism for auras since PoE1 had no skill count limit. On my monk it’s definitely a real cost to carry 2-3 auras given how many active skills they want us using to make combat dynamic.
