继续购物If you've played any action RPG before, you're probably used to picking up “unidentified” items and flipping them over to see what's inside. Path of Exile 2 keeps that classic loop alive, and the Scroll of Wisdom is the key piece of that system. Even though it's one of the simplest currencies in the game, new players still have a lot of small questions about how it works, when to use it, and whether it still matters later on. Here's a clear, easy guide to help you use your scrolls without wasting them.
A Scroll of Wisdom is the basic “identify” item in PoE 2.
Use one on an unidentified item, and it instantly reveals that item's modifiers so you can equip it, compare it, or trade it. No scroll = no stats, no real info, and no real use.
It's simple, but it's something you'll interact with hundreds of times while leveling.
You don't need to hunt for them—scrolls drop everywhere.
Monsters, chests, random world objects… anything can give you one. Early NPC vendors also sell them, so you're never stuck without a way to identify items.
They're low-value but extremely common. Think of them as the “glue” of the early game.
Players can purchase Path of Exile 2 currency safe from SHANNENG.
Scrolls of Wisdom stack up to 40 in one inventory slot.
This makes it easy to carry a healthy amount while leveling without feeling like your bag is overflowing.
Small tip: you don't need hundreds. A stack or two is more than enough.
The simple answer: use it anytime you pick up something good that's still unidentified.
The more helpful answer: be a little picky.
Early game, you'll use scrolls often. Later, less so.
Yes… but not as much as they used to be.
As you progress, more NPCs or systems can identify items for free, and the amount of gear you need to check decreases. By mid-late game, scrolls feel more like a background item than a major resource.
Still, you'll always want a few. Unidentified rares and uniques still show up, and not carrying any scrolls means walking past something that could be an upgrade.
Absolutely.
Even though PoE 2 added new systems—like gold for NPC purchases—unidentified loot is still a core part of the game. That means the Scroll of Wisdom isn't going anywhere.
There's only one:
You can only use a Scroll of Wisdom on an item that is currently unidentified.
If the item is already identified, nothing happens. No error, no animation, no payoff.
Here's the simple rule:
Use scrolls freely, but focus on:
Scrolls matter less.
Identify only items you care about—high-level rares, uniques, or potential trade items. Don't scroll every random drop.
You'll naturally end up with a small pile in your stash anyway.
Technically, yes—but only in the very early game.
Scrolls serve as a tiny, entry-level currency. Once players move into higher zones and earn better orbs, scrolls fall off the trading ladder. By mid-game, they're practically “spare change.”
Veteran players may notice the difference:
They're still needed, but not the backbone of item identification anymore.
A few small pitfalls newer players hit:
Focus on value, not curiosity.
The Scroll of Wisdom is one of the simplest currencies in Path of Exile 2, but it's still important, especially while leveling. Use scrolls to check good drops, don't waste them on trash items, and always keep a small stack with you. As the game progresses, scrolls become less vital thanks to new NPC and identification systems—but they never fully disappear from your gameplay loop.
