PoE 2 Ailith's Chimes Effects, Location & Best Use

Ailith's Chimes is a powerful Lineage Support Gem introduced in Path of Exile 2 with the 0.3.0 update. Unlike traditional support gems that primarily offer straightforward stat boosts or damage increases, Lineage Gems like Ailith's Chimes bring entirely new mechanics to the game, functioning almost like unique items for skills. This gem is designed exclusively for endgame content and significantly alters how supported skills behave. By integrating Ailith's Chimes into your skill setup, you gain access to a unique mechanic that rewards the expenditure of Combo points with a chance to generate Power Charges.

PoE 2 Ailith's Chimes Requirements

To use Ailith's Chimes, a character must meet the level 65 requirement and have at least 5 Dexterity; it does not require any Strength or Intelligence. This makes it accessible to a variety of builds that focus on Dexterity and Combo-based skills.

The gem specifically supports skills that expend Combo points: when you use such a supported skill to consume Combo, you gain a 10% chance per Combo point spent to generate a Power Charge. Notably, this chance can exceed 100%, meaning that large Combo expenditures can guarantee multiple Power Charges.

PoE 2 Ailith's Chimes Value

Ailith's Chimes is a popular Lineage support on the PoE 2 trade market. Its market price typically hovers around 3.6 Chaos Orbs on normalized trade metrics, but can be valued as 4.9 Exalted Orbs in certain trading hubs. The most valuable may be Rakiata's Flow and Dialla's Desire, equal to 1.3K and 1.1K Chaos Orbs, respectively (their trading value is constantly changing). 

Where and How to Get Ailith's Chimes in PoE 2 0.3?

Ailith's Chimes is not obtainable through standard campaign drops or the usual gem vendors. Instead, it has very specific and rare drop locations and bosses. PoE 2 Ailith's Chimes drops exclusively from certain Anomaly bosses in the new Derelict Mansion map in 0.3 Update: Varloch, the Ashen Lord, and Avelyne, the Withered Rose. Because it is a rare and valuable endgame gem, farming these bosses is the primary way to obtain it.

How to Use Ailith's Chimes in PoE 2 0.3?

• Farm the specified Anomaly bosses or acquire it via a trusted service or trading with other players.

• Place Ailith's Chimes into a linked support socket connected to a skill that can expend Combo points.

• When you expend Combo using the supported skill, Ailith's Chimes gives you a chance (10% per Combo) to gain Power Charges. This chance can exceed 100%, allowing multiple Power Charges from large Combo expenditures.

• Use this gem to create unique, powerful builds that rely on Combo mechanics and Power Charges, pushing endgame damage and survivability.

Best Build Example to Use Ailith's Chimes in PoE 2 0.3

You can use Ailith's Chimes on a Hollow Palm Technique Amazon build in Path of Exile 2, which excels in both speed leveling and endgame content. This build capitalizes on a unique synergy between melee attacks, lightning damage, and freezing effects, delivering high damage output while maintaining exceptional survivability through evasion and energy shield.

The Ailith's Chimes can be equipped in the Tempest Bell skill slot. This combination provides a significant advantage by granting free Power Charges throughout gameplay, even against single-target bosses. This greatly boosts damage and attack speed without extra effort. Reaper’s Invocation paired with Profane Ritual allows on-demand generation of 7 Power Charges, maintaining uptime on Charged Staff and powering up Falling Thunder for dealing with tougher mobs, especially in Abyss encounters. You’ll often use Ice Strike to trigger combos and then activate Tempest Bell for massive area damage. While Tempest Bell’s area effect can feel a bit inconsistent, careful positioning and combo usage with Storm Wave (in earlier versions) helped clear groups quickly. Now the build relies fully on melee and buff synergy.

Gear Priorities

• Focus on Evasion stats on chest, helmet, gloves, and boots.

• Prioritize flat elemental damage (physical, cold, fire, lightning) on rings and gloves for maximum DPS.

• Resistances should be maintained on all other gear slots to ensure survivability.

Skill Setup

• Storm Wave + Rapid Attacks I + Elemental Armament I

• Ice Strike + Cold Attunement + Rapid Attacks I

• Tempest Bell + Concentrated Area + Overabundance I

• Herald of Thunder + Longshot I + Lightning Attunement

• Herald of Ash + Magnified Area I

How to Farm More Guaranteed Lineage Support Gems in POE 2 0.3?

1. Locate the Anomaly boss maps on your Atlas

Look for anomaly boss map locations on your Atlas; these bosses can be encountered with mysterious anomalies and only appear in maps unlocked with at least a Tier 6 waystone and are guaranteed to drop at least one Lineage Support Gem (100% drop chance).

2. Activate specific mechanics to unlock the map

To enter these maps with Anomaly bosses, you must first activate specific waystones, hengestones, or devices nearby. The activation process varies by map:

• Jade Isles (Maelstrom Anomaly): Activate a beacon in a nearby map to reveal the connection to the Jade Isles map, located in the Water biome. Drops Rakiata's Flow, etc. 

• Derelict Mansion (Mansion in the Mists Anomaly): Activate a set of nearby hengestones to unlock the map. Note: After the boss arena is opened once, you no longer need to find a tome to open it again. Additionally, if you die to the bosses, the arena remains accessible without reactivation. This map is found in the Swamp, Grass, and Forest biomes. Drops Ailith's Chimes, etc. 

• Sacred Reservoir (Temporal Sandstorm Anomaly): Activate three devices in surrounding maps to clear the sandstorm, granting access. This map is in the Desert biome. Drops Garukhan's Resolve, etc. 

• Sealed Vault (Sealed Vault Anomaly): Obtain an Idol of Estazunti by running adjacent maps, which is required to open the Sealed Vault map located in the Mountain biome. Drops Atalui's Bloodletting, etc.

3. Enter and clear the map, and defeat the boss

Once the required waystones or devices are activated, enter the map and clear it as usual. Defeat the Anomaly boss to receive at least one Lineage Support Gem, guaranteed every time. Each boss drops different Lineage Support, so farming multiple bosses is a good way to diversify your collection.

4. Repeat the process on various maps

Since each Anomaly boss drops different gems with a guaranteed 100% drop rate, repeatedly farming these bosses across different maps is the most reliable method to obtain a variety of Lineage Support Gems. Be aware that some maps or waystones may have bugs; ensure all activation steps are fully completed and keep your game updated to avoid any issues.
