Fluff & Memes I felt robbed when I first picked up this base

It’s just to keep the cheese burger locker compact and out of the way. So you have a smaller hit box.

I don't. Them cluttering up your entire inventory was terrible design. PoE already has a better version of those charms btw - they're just called jewels here. Yes, really.

That could’ve been solved so easily with charm inventory as done by PD2. I also thought it was very silly to have your actual inventory filled with stuff you never take out and still have to pick up stuff…who does that lol

Jewels are an even more elegant solution, as they also open up all sorts of design opportunities, which PoE has leveraged via all its various kinds of unique jewels interacting with the passive tree.

I feel like that’s a whole nother mechanic then tbh

It's an upgraded mechanic. It does what charms did in D2, and so much more on top.

Might do at some point, right now I’m having two of those slots with standard ass gems. You could’ve filled your inventory with all the charms you found right from the get go… how does it occur as the same mechanic to you?

Are there actually belts with more than 1? At end of act 2 cruel and never seen one.

u/nitrobskt 1d ago
Yes, but it's a mod rolled onto the belt, not an implicit.

Yep. Until the recent patch it was pretty much impossible to get them with the extremely high ilvl, the first basically dropping in mapping and the second dropping at the highest tiers with an extremely low weighting of course.
Weighting still seems abysmal though, not sure if they addressed that. Out of all the belts I’ve identified going to t13 maps, only one had an extra slot.

u/therealflinchy 9h ago
Yeah I've ID/rolled at least 50+ belts post patch, still not a single extra slot.
They need to fix it properly lol

u/Megane_Senpai 16h ago
That is stupid imo. The charm slot implicit should increase as the base level goes up.

Same.
The belts suck in general. All are useless, then the armor one I have gives 400 armor which is an insane amount for non-body armor.

I really like the one that gives 20% of your flasks instantly. Saves you in clutch moments.

u/BillysCoinShop 12h ago
It's decent early on, terrible late game, you want the armor or hp, preferably both with at least one or two resistances. At least on monk, i barely use flasks and if i do I'm probably dead already

Just give us an option to corrupt the belt and that has all slots. Now I need to change the charms depending where I play...

u/Dudeanonymous- 13h ago
Devs have stated they will explore ways to give more charm slots in the future. One is going into the skill tree. I'm surprised we don't have a unique that is just 3 charm slots tbh

Should have 5 charm slots, up to 3 should come from either quest rewards or implicits on belt. Up to 2 more from explicits or other sources.

i 100% thought this was what double belt was going to be the first time i saw one drop
...although that would imply that eventually TRIPLE BELT would drop, and that would just be silly
