How to Get Maligaro's Virtuosity in Path of Exile 2

In Path of Exile 2, Unique items continue to play a pivotal role in shaping powerful builds and optimizing character performance. Among the most coveted gloves in the game is Maligaro's Virtuosity, a pair of Fine Bracers that completely redefines how Critical Damage is handled. For players building around critical strikes, this item can be a cornerstone—but acquiring it isn't easy.

Whether you're hoping for a lucky drop or saving up POE 2 Currency to make a purchase, understanding how this item works and where to find it is crucial. In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know about Maligaro's Virtuosity—how to get it, how it functions, and how to get the most value out of this unique glove.

What Is Maligaro's Virtuosity

Maligaro's Virtuosity is a pair of Unique Fine Bracers designed specifically for critical strike builds. Here's a look at its powerful modifiers:

    (60–80)% increased Evasion Rating

    (20–30)% increased Critical Hit Chance

    5% increased Attack Speed

    +(10–20) to Dexterity

    Your Critical Damage Bonus is 300%

On the surface, these stats look strong, but it's that last line—"Your Critical Damage Bonus is 300%"—that makes this item game-changing. Rather than scaling with traditional sources of critical damage, Maligaro's Virtuosity sets your bonus to a flat 300%, no more, no less. This means it overrides any other source of Critical Damage Bonus, whether higher or lower.

For players, this provides consistency and allows you to ignore otherwise necessary crit damage scaling. Instead, your focus can shift toward increasing critical chance, attack speed, and other offensive layers, creating a more streamlined path to massive damage output.

How to Get Maligaro's Virtuosity in Path of Exile 2

Because of its strength and versatility, Maligaro's Virtuosity is highly sought after—and not easy to acquire. Here are the three primary methods of obtaining this item:

1. Random Drops in Endgame Maps

Maligaro's Virtuosity is part of the global Unique drop pool, but it only becomes available from monsters level 79 and above. This means you won't find it during campaign progression or early mapping. Instead, you'll need to be clearing Tier 15 Waystone maps or higher in the Atlas.

While there's no targeted farm for this item, you can improve your odds with "Increased Item Quantity" and "Increased Item Rarity" modifiers on gear, passive nodes, and Precursor Tablets. Still, even with optimal gear and strategies, drops are far from guaranteed.

2. Orb of Chance (Extremely Rare)

A much more luck-dependent option is to use an Orb of Chance on regular Fine Bracers, the base item for Maligaro's Virtuosity. The Orb of Chance has the potential to upgrade a white item into any random Unique tied to that base.

However, the odds of hitting Maligaro's Virtuosity are exceedingly low. This method is only worth attempting if you already have a large stockpile of POE 2 Currency and enjoy gambling mechanics. Even then, this route is best seen as a novelty rather than a serious acquisition strategy.

3. Trading with Other Players

The most reliable—and fastest—way to get Maligaro's Virtuosity is by purchasing it through the official PoE 2 trade marketplace. Prices will vary depending on league, build popularity, and overall demand, but players can typically expect to pay between 1 and 5 Divine Orbs.

For those accumulating POE 2 Currency, Divine Orbs remain a central trading currency. If you're planning to buy high-end Uniques like Maligaro's Virtuosity, prioritizing Divine Orb generation through boss farming, currency flipping, or Atlas progression is a smart play.

Understanding the 300% Critical Damage Mechanic

The defining feature of Maligaro's Virtuosity is its fixed Critical Damage Bonus of 300%. This number replaces any other crit multiplier from your gear, tree, or ascendancy, not stack with them.

This mechanic opens up new possibilities for building crafting. Instead of trying to push your crit multiplier to 500% or beyond (as some builds do), you simply cap at 300%. As a result, gear and passives that offer bonus critical damage become useless. Instead, you can safely opt into talents and items that provide other boosts—even if they reduce your Critical Damage Bonus.

A perfect example is the Careful Assassin passive, which increases Critical Hit Chance by 50% while reducing Critical Damage Bonus by 20%. Normally, that would be a painful trade-off—but if you're using Maligaro's Virtuosity, the negative penalty is ignored entirely. This allows players to take passives they normally wouldn't consider, adding a layer of build depth and flexibility.

Is Maligaro's Virtuosity Worth It

For critical strike builds, absolutely. The gloves offer:

    A guaranteed 300% Critical Damage Bonus (equivalent to a massive passive tree investment)

    Decent Dexterity and Attack Speed

    Additional crit chance and evasion

    Build flexibility by eliminating the need for crit damage scaling

For most players, especially those using bows, claws, or daggers, Maligaro's Virtuosity can serve as a long-term gear solution, even in high-end content.

Final Thoughts

Maligaro's Virtuosity is more than just a high-value Unique—it's a mechanical game-changer for crit builds in Path of Exile 2. Whether you're farming maps hoping for a miracle drop, rolling Orbs of Chance on Fine Bracers, or investing POE 2 Currency to trade your way to it, securing these gloves is a worthy goal.

As POE 2 evolves, items like Maligaro's Virtuosity continue to redefine build theory and give players new creative directions to explore. If your playstyle revolves around fast, high-damage crits and efficiency, these gloves should be at the top of your wishlist.
