If you want more Charm Slots in Path of Exile 2, it will take an incredibly long time, unless you’re lucky. This is because Charms, in general, are very powerful. They bring passive resistances and can get you out of incredibly sticky situations in boss fights and beyond. However, you don’t have a lot of resources when it comes to getting more slots — unless perhaps you have a glut of Exalted Orbs.
In general, you want to have a variety of Charms equipped in Path of Exile 2 — but getting more slots takes a bit of grinding, work, or perhaps lucky drops. Here’s everything we know about how you can get a few more slots.
How to get more Charm Slots for your gear in Path of Exile 2
The only way to get More Charm Slots in Path of Exile 2 is to get a better belt. That’s the long and the short of it. Throughout Acts 1 and 2, you’re only going to see 1-slot belts, or at least that is what we found. If one with more slots drops in the early game, we’ve yet to see it. Still, as far as I know, it's not impossible.
Nevertheless, once you’re in Act 3, and Cruel difficulties, they have a better chance to appear.
However, it’s still remarkably rare. In all my time, I’ve yet to see a single 2 or 3-slot Charm belt, although I do know they exist and that people have seen them. If you want to get one, you have a few courses of action. You can use one of the gambling NPCs to hopefully get one, but that’s a waste of gold.
You can also grind through maps, and take a look at all the belts that drop for you in Path of Exile 2, hoping they will have more charm slots. Your final course of action is only if you have some Exalted Orbs - head to the Trade Website. In the screenshot above, you’ll see that a few with at least two slots are available. If you want to search for that type of belt specifically, select “Stat Filters”, and then search for “# Charm Slot”
In general, this is going to set you back one Exalted Orb. However, belts with greater amounts of Affixes/Corrupted Belts will go for more - typically 3x Exalted Orbs. You’ll occasionally even see higher amounts or other currencies like Regal Orbs. While half the fun is grinding through waves of foes to get good loot, sometimes, the only recourse is to just get it from someone else.
While eventually, you will no doubt start getting belts with more Charm Slots in Path of Exile 2, the best way to do that right now is to embrace player trading and store away some of those valuable Exalted Orbs.
