Guide to Co-op and Loot Sharing on the Path of Exile



On the Path of Exile, you can play with your friends and team up. Although team play can get more rewards, there are also some issues that we need to consider, such as team making monsters more and more difficult to fight, and will affect your loot drop. Therefore, we have brought you a guide on Co-op and Loot Sharing on the Path of Exile to help you take advantage of teamwork and get more rewards.


Co-op Party Scaling in Path of Exile


In Path of Exile you can have a party of up to six players and each additional person beyond the first has a scaling effect on each instance you enter. These effects are essentially an increase in potential difficulty and rewards. Diverse parties with stacking auras may have a much easier time with scaled content than a less diverse, and less cooperative party.


Monster life Scaling


For each additional player in a party beyond the first monsters gain 50% extra life from their base. So a party of three will see double life monsters while a party of six will see triple life monsters.


Experience Scaling


There are two aspects to experience scaling and sharing at a party. The first is an increase in the base experience of monsters by 50% per extra player after the first. The second is that players within roughly two game screens of their party will receive a 30% experience bonus on whatever their party kills. This means that you should clear content as a group sticking together to maximize your experience gains. Total-experience for a two-man party is 195% of the base divided by two. Which is actually slightly less (2.5% less) than solo.


Loot Scaling


In a party, loot is scaled by quantity at a rate of a 50% plus item quantity modifier per additional player after the first. Killing a boss or opening a large chest with six players is going to fill your screen with loot. For the purposes of the item, rarity rolls the player dealing the killing blow has their Item rarity bonus used.


Flask Charge Gain Scaling


Flasks are given a bonus of a 75% increase in charge recovery per additional player after the first. However, only the player dealing the killing blow to a monster will receive charges. Although this will balance out most of the time you may want to intentionally share the killing with lower DPS party members occasionally to ensure they see some flask charges. This can be especially helpful if you have a very low damage tank taking all of the incoming damage for you.


How to group up in Path of Exile?



Press "S" to open your social menu (or navigate to the social menu using your controller), and look for the section at the bottom that says Friend Invite. Type the name of your friend's character into the space to add them to your friend's list.


Then, once they're online, you can select their name and invite them to your group.


It's also possible you could enter another version (instance) of town than your friend — meaning you won't see each other — but they will show back up in the world with you once you enter a questing area.


You can also use the public party system in the social menu to find like-minded players.


How does loot work at a party?


When you adventure through Path of Exile in a party, you have the option to change the loot rules. Here's a quick rundown of each of the options:


Free for All


When an item drops, any player can pick it up if they're fast enough. Whoever picks it up first keeps it.


Short Allocation


This setting randomly assigns loot to nearby party members. But if your party member doesn't pick up the item assigned to them after a few moments, it will become lootable for any other party members.


Permanent Allocation


Similar to Short Allocation, this setting randomly assigns loot to nearby party members. But it will never become Free for All loot, no matter how much time passes.


If you or one of your allies gets assigned a piece of loot that you don't want or is better for an ally, you can drop it on the ground so your pal can pick it up.
