Spirit in Path of Exile 2 is a crucial resource used for activating skills, maintaining persistent buffs, and summoning permanent minions. It essentially limits the number of active abilities and auras you can sustain. Managing and increasing your Spirit pool is critical for effective gameplay.

Quest Rewards
Boss encounters, like The King in the Mists in Freythorn (Act 1), drop items such as the Gemblood Skull, granting +30 Spirit. Similarly, Ignagduk, the Bog Witch in The Azak Bog (Act 3) offers another Spirit boost.
Equipment Choices
Sceptres, amulets, and specific body armors can directly add Spirit. Equip a sceptre in the off-hand for an easy bonus. Alternatively, some weapon setups provide Spirit boosts or modify reservations dynamically depending on the loadout.
Skill Gem Leveling
Higher-level minion skill gems reduce their Spirit reservation, freeing up more resources for other abilities.
Boss Encounters with Upgrades
Each act has bosses with unique upgrades to Spirit. Track these through the world map and focus on clearing zones with resource-boosting rewards.
Buildcrafting Strategies
Balance Spirit between offensive and defensive needs. For instance, activating an Aura like Arctic Armor costs 30 Spirit, while advanced Meta Gems may demand up to 120. Prioritize resource efficiency when creating builds.
Effective Spirit management revolves around careful equipment selection, quest completions, and mindful allocation of abilities. Planning your progression can make Spirit challenges feel manageable as you venture through the game’s acts.
