Continue ShoppingImplants are one of the most fascinating additions introduced in Path of Exile 3.27 (Keepers League). These currency items are part of the new Genesis Tree crafting ecosystem — and if you've been farming Wombgifts, you've probably seen one drop by now. In this guide, we'll break down what Implants are, how they interact with Grafts, and how to use them efficiently for endgame builds. We'll also list every Unstable Implant modifier currently available in 3.27.
Implants are currency items exclusive to the Keepers League, designed to modify or upgrade Grafts. They're “birthed” from a Lavish Wombgift at the Genesis Tree — one of the new progression systems in 3.27. Unlike traditional orbs, Implants focus entirely on Graft manipulation, adding modifiers, upgrading rarity, or even corrupting the item for high-risk, high-reward outcomes.
You can think of them as the Orbs of Alchemy and Vaal Orbs for the Graft system.
Implants don't drop naturally from monsters — they're generated through the Genesis Tree system, specifically through Lavish Wombgifts. These wombgifts produce currency rewards, and the rarer the wombgift, the higher your chance of spawning higher-tier implants.
Here's the general flow:
If you're aiming to farm them efficiently, target areas or missions that yield high-tier wombgifts and focus on Genesis Tree investments that increase currency or crafting drops.
| Implant | Effect | Drop Level |
|---|---|---|
| Augmentation Implant | Adds a new random modifier to a magic Graft. | 1 |
| Regal Implant | Upgrades a magic Graft to a rare Graft. | 1 |
| Exalted Implant | Adds a new random modifier to a rare Graft. | 1 |
| Unstable Implant | Corrupts a Graft — either destroying it or replacing its implicit with a powerful new modifier. | 68 |
The first three work like their traditional PoE equivalents (Orb of Augmentation, Regal Orb, and Exalted Orb), but they only apply to Grafts. The Unstable Implant, however, is where things get truly interesting.
This is the most dangerous — and most exciting — Implant in PoE 3.27. When used, it corrupts your Graft, meaning:
These implicit bonuses can completely reshape your build's scaling — especially if you synergize around attribute stacking, resist overcaps, or gem color layouts.
| Modifier | Effect Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | (1–2)% increased Attack Speed per Frenzy Charge |
| 2. | (4–8)% increased Critical Strike Chance per Power Charge |
| 3. | Regenerate (0.2–0.2)% of Life per second per Endurance Charge |
| 4. | Increases and Reductions to Light Radius also apply to Accuracy |
| 5. | Stun Threshold is increased by Overcapped Fire Resistance |
| 6. | 1% chance to take 20% less Area Damage from Hits per 2% Overcapped Cold Resistance |
| 7. | 1% increased Projectile Speed per 20 Strength |
| 8. | 1% increased Cast Speed per 20 Dexterity |
| 9. | 1% increased Melee Damage per 20 Intelligence |
| 10. | 2% increased Effect of Non-Damaging Ailments for each Blue Skill Gem you have socketed |
| 11. | 2% increased Cooldown Recovery Rate for each Green Skill Gem you have socketed |
| 12. | 2% increased Skill Effect Duration for each Red Skill Gem you have socketed |
If you're experimenting with Unstable Implants, make sure you have enough backup Grafts and resources before diving into corruption crafting. For smoother progress and faster build optimization, you can buy PoE Currency cheap at U4N to keep your crafting momentum going strong.
Attribute-Based Mods (7–9)
Perfect for stat-stacking builds. For example, Intelligence-heavy melee builds benefit from “Melee Damage per 20 Intelligence,” while projectile builds can gain serious value from Strength-based projectile speed scaling.
Charge-Based Mods (1–3)
Ideal for Frenzy or Power Charge stackers. Bow builds, CoC setups, and Charge jugglers can all use these to boost offensive tempo or regeneration.
Resistance Overcap Mods (5–6)
Defensive builds that push resistances above 75% get unique mitigation bonuses, making these great for tanky Juggernauts or Elementalist hybrids.
Gem Color Mods (10–12)
These encourage creative socket setups. Red-socket builds (e.g., Warcries, Slams) enjoy longer buff durations, while Green-heavy builds get smoother cooldown cycling.
Light Radius Mod (4)
It's a niche pick, but for accuracy-based hybrid builds that already scale light radius (like Esh's Mirror setups), this can be surprisingly strong.
Grafts are the foundation for Implant crafting. They're exclusive to the Keepers League and come from Growing Wombgifts. Each Graft offers:
Implants are used to modify these bonuses — adding, upgrading, or transforming them depending on your crafting goals. Think of Grafts as “mini-items” with unique mod pools and Implants as their specialized crafting currency.
If you're serious about optimizing your Grafts, follow this crafting path:
Personal Tip:
Pair the Genesis Tree's crafting upgrades with map modifiers that boost Wombgift quality. This makes Implant farming much more consistent and efficient.
Implants in Path of Exile 3.27 redefine how players approach crafting within the Keepers League. Through the Genesis Tree, Lavish Wombgifts, and the intricate Graft system, you gain a new layer of item progression that rewards creativity and calculated risk. Whether you're testing your luck with Unstable Implants or optimizing your perfect Graft, mastering this system is key to reaching true endgame efficiency.
