How to Get More Support Gem Slots in Path of Exile 2
In Path of Exile 2 (PoE2) Support Gems increase your active skills by adding more effects or making them stronger. Each Skill Gem can have up to five Support Gem slots, allowing for a powerful "6-link" setup. Here’s how to get more Support Gem slots:
1. Understand the Gem Slot System
Every character starts with nine slots for Skill Gems. Each Skill Gem can be linked to up to five Support Gems. This system gives you a lot of flexibility to customize your skills and make them stronger.
2. Use Jeweler’s Orbs to Add Support Slots
You’ll need Jeweler’s Orbs to unlock more Support Gem slots. These come in three tiers, each adding an extra slot:
Tier 1 Jeweler’s Orb: Adds the third Support Gem slot.
Tier 2 Jeweler’s Orb: Adds the fourth Support Gem slot.
Tier 3 Jeweler’s Orb: Adds the fifth Support Gem slot.
Apply these orbs to a Skill Gem to increase its Support Gem capacity and unlock more powerful combinations.
