Path of Exile 2 has several amazing stat-boosting quest rewards, increasing your resistances, Spirit, and more. While many of them come from slaying bosses out in the wild, others are granted after you complete specific quests.

Whether you need more Spirit to summon skeleton warriors or just want a few more skill points, Path of Exile 2 has plenty of stat-boosting quest rewards littered throughout it. We’ll update this article, as we find more of them.
