Path of Exile Strongbox Guide - Everything You Need to Know

In this guide, raiditem ( the No.1 path of exile store in the game market ) will share the rewards and penalties in Strongbox. You should pay attention to the four dangerous modifiers when opening the box. Please read carefully now.

Out of the normal strongboxes, there isn’t anything that is inherently scary about them. A strongbox is just that, a box with monsters and items inside. The danger comes from the modifiers on the box. Just like gear and maps, strongboxes can be Normal (white), Magic (blue), Rare (yellow).

There are four big things to watch for when opening boxes. Two of them can be dealt with beforehand, two are after the fact. The first two are what happens when opening the box - Freezes you when activated & Casts a random Curse when activated. These two modifiers can be deadly. However, these two mods can be easily combatted by flasks.

The other two modifiers are the most dangerous things a strongbox can offer. The modifiers are Detonates nearby corpses & Casts Ice Nova. Both effects happen around two seconds after activation, giving you time to read the modifier and run. Detonates nearby corpses will explode all bodies near the strongbox, dealing enough damage to kill even the tankiest of builds, fairly easily. Always lack for enough poe currency? Don’t hesitate to buy poe currency at raiditem.

In addition, there are a few strongboxes you should watch for. Diviner and Cartographer are the big money makers. Arcanist is definitely worth your time as well, although to a much lower extent.

Diviner Boxes

The Diviner boxes will show up every twenty or thirty maps, and they contain divination cards. Divination cards can range from completely worthless to multiple exalts.

Cartographer Boxes

On the other hand, are a bit iffy. Cartographers drop maps, which are likely the highest priority items for you at the time. However, they only appear in Tier 13 or lower maps. This means that the investment you want to put into them will be directly proportional to how much return you can get. If you manage to find a Cartographer in a tier 16 Temple of Atzoatl. Then it is definitely worth the currency for a second additional item modifier, as long as you’re in a league where maps are expensive. If you need to buy poe exalted orb and chaos orb, raiditem is your best choice.

What’s more, there is a fourth rarity of boxes. These boxes cannot be modified, but you can chance a normal box into them if you are very likely. They can have some incredible or worthless rewards, but they are on average better than many other strongboxes. There are a few with great rewards, but some of them are dangerous to deal with. The most dangerous is most likely The Maelstrom Cell, Diviner’s Strongbox. It summons four or five unique Shaper bosses to fight in a row, all of whom are quite strong and can be problematic for builds without high leech.

Please make sure to use our poe Strongbox guide correctly. To sum up, the best way to deal with the strongboxes is to take what’s given and modifying the big-ticket items. Keep in mind that you should be careful with those dangerous modifiers and keep your flasks up!
