How to get new Kalguuran skills in Path of Exile 2?

To get the new Kalguuran skill gems in Path of Exile 2, you must participate in the Remnant encounters introduced in the Return of the Ancients(Patch 0.5) update. These special gems cannot be bought from normal town vendors, so you have to find or craft them yourself.

Here is how you can find and get these powerful new skills.

1. Follow Farrow's Questline

You can eventually craft your own Kalguuran skills.

• Talk to Farrow in Act 2 after finding specific runes to unlock a special location on your map.
• Continue through Farrow’s questline into Act 4.
• Completing this story unlocks Ancient Runes crafting, which lets you use your collected runic resources to make the skills you want.

2. Run Expedition Remnant Encounters

The primary source for Kalguuran Skills is Remnant encounters (the overhauled Expedition system involving Verisium deposits and explosives).

• Campaign & Maps: You can find these encounters randomly starting early in the campaign (as early as Act 1 areas like Manor Ramparts or Act 2 Buried Shrines) all the way into endgame Maps.
• The Routine: Set your explosives to unearth buried items and defeat the waves of Kalguuran monsters. The skill gems themselves are offered as rewards directly from these encounters.
• Instance Reset Farming: If you are determined to find them early, players have had success repeatedly resetting specific campaign zones that contain the league mechanic to force encounters.

3. Maximize Efficiency in the Endgame

If you've reached endgame Maps and want a steady supply of gems or the specific components to build around them, target Grand Expeditions:

• Identify Grand Expeditions: Look for the Expedition map icons surrounded by spikes on your Atlas. These spawn significantly more Verisium Remnants than standard encounters.
• Target Multi-Slot Remnants: The number of "circles" or slots on a Verisium Remnant dictates the waves of monsters and the scale of the final loot explosion. A 5 to 7-slot encounter yields massive drops.
• Hunt for Aldur's Saga: When running the Moor of Fallen Skies map, prioritize choosing Aldur's Saga from the rewards. This rare modifier guarantees higher minimum slots on your Grand Expedition remnants, dramatically raising your chances of high-tier drops.

4. The Trade Alternative

If RNG isn't on your side, Kalguuran gems can be bought directly from other players. You can find them listed on the standard in-game currency market or the trade site, as they drop as physical, tradeable items.

Note on Upgrading: Unlike traditional gems that level up purely from gaining character experience, Kalguuran skills are leveled up using a specialized material called Thaumaturgic Flux, which you'll occasionally receive as rewards from runeshape recipes or find on the currency exchange.
