Is It Worth It?

Now, for the big question: is the Path of Exile 2 Dawn of the Hunt Mystery Box worth buying? Let’s break it down.

Grinding Gear Games have revealed that players will receive no duplicates of all the items they’ll draw from the pull. When you get an item, you’re guaranteed to get a different one on all your next draws. Overall, there are only 22 item types in the reward pool. What makes the number 55 are the multiple variations for some types of items.

For example, the Arbiter of Ash Wings has two additional variations. So, if you get lucky enough to pull that item type, it’s not guaranteed that you’ll get the variation you want. Additionally, with such drop rates, it might take many more draws to get the one you actually want.

With such a big reward pool, you’re more likely to spend a few hundred dollars trying to fish out your desired item. Of course, if you only want armor sets and items on the more common side, it’s worth pulling for the high drop rates. There’s a high chance you’ll get all of them, and maybe even rare items, for cheap.

It’s also worth noting that they’re planning to release these cosmetics eventually in the shop for higher prices. So, if you only want one or two rare items from the box, it’s better to purchase them individually. This way, you might be able to get more value for your money.

Conclusion

Path of Exile’s new cosmetic offerings surely are attractive to many players. In particular, the portals, wings, pets, and map devices look fantastic. The mystery box allows players to bet on their luck and grab these within a few pulls.

Overall, the value of Path of Exile 2 Dawn of the Hunt Mystery Box depends on the rewards you’re gunning for. If they’re among the more common items, then it’s actually a good deal. Otherwise, it’s better to wait and pay only for your selected items instead of risking Points for items you might not use.
