Path of Exile 2 is shaping up to be one of the most content-rich ARPGs of all time, and with that comes systems that both entice and test the limits of a player's patience. In today's deep dive, we'll walk through a community experiment where a dedicated player named Nick ran the Trial of Chaos 100 times-and defeated the Trialmaster in every single one. From divine orb drops to adorned loot and everything in between, get more POE 2 Currency Orbs, this is a raw, unfiltered look at what grinding the Trials of Chaos really looks like in POE 2.

The Setup: 100 Trials, 100 Bosses

Right out of the gate, Nick sets the tone. "We're going to be running the Trial of Chaos 100 times, and we're not stopping there-we're also killing the Trialmaster 100 times." This isn't just a casual grind. It's a full-blown endgame farming strategy aimed at uncovering whether the Trial of Chaos and its associated boss fights are worth the time, currency, and effort.

To begin each run, the player needs chaos fragments-three types, in fact: Cowardly, Victorious, and Deadly. These fragments determine the modifiers and difficulty of each trial, and ultimately, your shot at the adorned unique items and high-value currency loot.

Early Results: Light Work, Light Rewards

The first few trials were more about feeling things out than scoring big. The early boss fights were described as "light work," with Nick jokingly nervous before the first fight, only to find the Trialmaster surprisingly easy. The first drop? An Adorned unique.

It's a promising start, but as any seasoned exile knows, RNG giveth and RNG taketh away.

Midpoint Check-In (50 Runs): Solid Profit, But No Jackpot Yet

Rather than splitting check-ins into four parts, Nick opted for a halftime report at 50 runs-a smart move given viewer feedback from earlier videos. At this point, the results were already intriguing:

·Currency Tab Value: ~25-26 Divine Orbs worth, including chaos, exalts, and divine orbs.

·Trial Fragments: About 2.5 additional Divines worth.

·Soul Cores & Custom Ultimatums: A small but meaningful bonus, with custom ultimatums adding gambling potential.

·Uniques: No additional Adorneds. Plenty of standard stuff-helmets, gloves, shields-but nothing to write home about.

Luck, Lulls, and Loot in the Back Half

The second set of 50 runs brought with it more excitement-and a little chaos of its own. One standout moment came when a Divine Orb dropped from a loot window between trial rooms. "Absolutely mint," Nick called it, and those moments are what POE dreams are made of.

However, nothing topped the excitement of finally seeing another Adorned drop. After 250 career kills of the Trialmaster and countless letdowns, Nick finally pulled an Adorned unique-and his genuine, hyped-up reaction is something any POE player can relate to.

The Final Check-In (100 Runs): A Wealth of Currency and Insight

So, what do 100 runs of the Trial of Chaos and 100 Trialmaster kills actually yield?

Currency Gains

·Divines: 15 raw drops.

·Chaos Orbs: 264 total, more than double the first half.

·Exalted Orbs: 281 collected.

·Soul Cores: A whopping 300.

·Estimated Currency Value: Around 29-30 Divines.

Nick never got the coveted 3-divine reward in a single loot window but did snag a 2-divine drop, which helped boost his total. Despite feeling a bit unlucky at times, the final currency haul proves this method is solid for profit seekers.

Trial Fragments

·Cowardly: 41

·Victorious: 30

·Deadly: 29

·While Deadly is the most valuable (and rarest), all fragments contributed several Divines to the final total. These fragments not only enable further runs but also hold trading value for other players looking to farm.

Custom Ultimatums and High-Risk, High-Reward Content

Among the loot was one particularly spicy custom ultimatum that offered the chance to turn three divine orbs into six-but at the cost of being cursed with three of the deadliest debuffs in the game: Enfeeble, Temporal Chains, and Elemental Weakness. This one encapsulates POE 2's risk-reward gameplay beautifully-how much are you willing to gamble for double your money?The Gear: Rares and Uniques

Despite a full stash tab of rares, most of them didn't pass the eye test. Low item levels (typically iLvl 80 or lower) mean the affixes just don't stack up. There were a couple of standout items-a wand with solid spell damage and a crossbow with rare projectile mods-but neither was game-changing.

Nick estimates 5-10 Divines total from all rares, but he excluded them from his core profit calculation due to market uncertainty and mediocre rolls.

Uniques

The unique haul? A mountain of mediocrity. No additional Adorned uniques showed up besides the two dropped over the course of the 100 runs. Most other uniques were common league filler-helmets, belts, shields, gloves-that you've probably vendored more times than you can count.

Still, the Adorned uniques themselves, while rare, justify the effort. Their 2% drop rate (roughly 1 in 50) held mostly true in this experiment.

Final Verdict: Was It Worth It?

Absolutely. Nick walked away with well over 30 Divines in profit with POE 2 Chaos Orbs, factoring in both raw currency and tradable loot. And that's not even counting the future runs he can now fund with the additional fragments and soul cores collected along the way.

Highlights:

·100 runs cost ~20 Divines.

·Total profit: ~30-35 Divines.

·Two Adorned drops.

·Rare currency moments (2 Divine loot box, 300+ soul cores).

·Countless uniques and rares (mostly garbage, but a few decent items).

·This grind isn't for everyone. It's repetitive. It's intense. And it requires a massive upfront investment. But if you're looking to gamble on high-return content, the Trial of Chaos might be one of the most rewarding systems in Path of Exile 2 right now.
