Specific drop rates for individual items in Path of Exile 2 are not explicitly revealed by the developers. However, the game utilizes a system influenced by two main factors: increased item rarity (IIR) and increased item quantity (IIQ).
Increased Item Rarity (IIR): This stat affects the likelihood of monsters dropping higher rarity items, such as magic, rare, and unique. It does not influence the drop rate of currency or non-rarity items.
Increased Item Quantity (IIQ): This stat simply increases the number of items that monsters drop. It has no effect on the type, quality, or rarity of the items, only the quantity.
Players can enhance their IIR and IIQ through various means:
Drop Penalty: It’s important to note that there’s a penalty applied to currency and divination card drops in areas with a monster level significantly lower than the character’s level. This discourages players from farming low-level zones solely for high-tier loot.

While specific drop rates remain undisclosed, these adjustments significantly improved the acquisition of valuable items in Path of Exile. It’s safe to assume these changes will also be implemented in Path of Exile 2.
