All permanent bonuses from the campaign

Path of Exile 2 has been released into early access and provides not only a full 3-act campaign, but also a complete endgame system for players who can grind as well. With an infamously robust character customization tree that allows for unlimited build creativity, players can tackle the trials of Wraeclast in whatever way suits them best.

Throughout the player's campaign journey, various objectives will provide players with permanent upgrades to their character, including additional skill points, free resistance and life, and more. While some of these bonuses are granted by completing quests, many others are rewarded for killing optional bosses and completing missed interactions that are not recorded in the player's quest log.

Path of Exile 2: All Main Quests and Actions

Here is a list of all quests and their rewards in Path of Exile 2.

All permanent bonuses from the campaign

Things you shouldn't sell to merchants in Path of Exile 2

Permanent bonuses gained from a campaign can represent a significant part of a character's power, both offensively in the form of passive skill points for a weapon set, spirit and mana regeneration, and defensively in the form of maximum life, durability and increased charge charm generation. In addition, these skippable objectives can also unlock major crafting options such as the Salvage Bench and Forge Bench. Total permanent bonuses from the campaign include:

24 passive weapon set skill points
20% resistance to fire, cold and lightning
20 maximum service life
Maximum life increased by 8%.
100 spirit
Two options between 30% increase in elemental disease threshold or 25% increase in mana regeneration rate
Choice of 25% increased stun threshold or 30% increased elemental disease threshold or 25% increased mana regeneration rate
Choice between 10% Chaos Resistance or +5 to all attributes, or 15% reduced debuff slowing potency on you

Permanent bonuses in Act 1

Act 1 features six missed bonuses, including one of three available ghost upgrades, as well as a salvage bench that allows players to turn unwanted items into crafting currency.

Bonus	Location	Source
+10% Cold resistance	Clearfell	Beira of the Rotten Pack
+2 Weapon Set Passive Skill Points	Hunting area	Crowbell
+30 Ghost	Freythorn	King in the mists
+2 Weapon Set Passive Skill Points	Ogham farmland	The lost lute
Rescue bench unlocked	Ogham village	Searching for a forge
+20 Maximum Durability	Ogham Manor	A candle, a living ceremony

Permanent bonuses in Act 2

While Act 2 only contains 4 permanent upgrades, it includes the first choice players must make between two stat bonuses in the Ancient Vows quest line. Fortunately, players can return to the Valley of the Titans and change their selection at will.

Bonus	Location	Source
+2 Weapon Set Passive Skill Points	Keth	Cabala, the Constrictor Queen
Choice of 30% increased charms gained or 15% increased mana recovery from flasks	Valley of the Titans	Ancient Vows
+2 Weapon Set Passive Skill Points	Deshar	Traditional toll
+10% lightning resistance	The Spires of Deshar	Sisters of Garukhan

Unlike most other permanent upgrades, Sister of Garukhan's target does not drop a consumable item that grants players a bonus to lightning resistance. Instead, the bonus is granted immediately upon interacting with the shrine, displaying a message confirming the bonus granted, and forming a group of enemies shortly thereafter.

Permanent bonuses in Act 3

The final Act available in Early Access, Act 3, offers another choice between stat boosts, but unlike the Ancient Vows reward in Act 2, the choice is permanent in Act 3. A reforging bench is also unlocked here, allowing players to recycle three items of the same rarity and write into the newly discarded item.

Bonus	Location	Source
+2 Weapon Set Passive Skill Points	Jungle ruins	Mighty Silver Fist
+30 Ghost	Azak God	Ignagduk, Swamp Witch
Choice of 25% increased stun threshold or 30% increased elemental disease threshold or 25% increased mana regeneration rate	Venom Crypts	Slithering Dead
+10% fire resistance	Jiquani's Machinarium	Blackjaw, The Rest
Reforging Bench unlocked	Melted safe	Treasure of Utzaal
+2 Weapon Set Passive Skill Points	Aggorat	A bloody sacrifice

The Blood Sacrifice objective requires players to first obtain a Sacrifice Heart, a random drop from monsters in Aggorat or Utzaal. Once obtained, you must bring it to the altar in the Aggorat using the sacrificial knife nearby to complete the ritual.

Permanent bonuses on brutal difficulty

Only three acts are currently available from Early Access out of the six acts planned for the game's full release. To compensate, the game switches players to Cruel difficulty after completing Act 3, allowing players to go through a harder version of the campaign while keeping all of their items and stats. Identical permanent bonuses are also available throughout the campaign on Cruel difficultywith only a few minor modifications, including:

Candlemass, The Living Rite now grants 8% max life instead of +20 max life
King in the Mists no longer grants ghost +30
Ignagduk, The Bog Witch now grants +40 spirit instead of +30 spirit
The Slithering Dead now rewards players with a choice between +10% Chaos Resistance or +5 to all attributes, or 15% reduced debuff slowing potency on you.

As the Cruel difficulty is currently a placeholder for the unreleased fourth, fifth, and sixth acts, it is possible that the permanent upgrades granted in the second half of the campaign may change after release.
