Mystery Boxes in Path of Exile 2 are random cosmetic microtransactions you open from your MTX stash. They are purely visual, don’t affect power, and the fun is in the theme, the chase, and the “what did I get?” moment.
The Last of the Druids Mystery Box is the current themed box for the 0.4.0 era, and it’s packed with armor sets, portals, hideouts, pets, stash cosmetics, and flashy effects.
1. What Is the Last of the Druids Mystery Box in Path of Exile 2?
The Last of the Druids Mystery Box in Path of Exile 2 is a paid cosmetic box that awards one random themed microtransaction when opened. The pool includes 63 microtransactions (including variations), and the box is designed to avoid frustrating repeat pulls of the exact same variation.
If you care about cosmetics but hate getting the same thing twice, that “no duplicate variations” rule is the single most important detail to understand before you spend points.
1.1. Mystery Box Price And What You Actually Get
- Cost: 50 Points per box
- Bundle: 250 Points (bundle option)
- Value floor: you’re guaranteed an item worth at least 50 points, and it’s statistically more likely to be a higher value
- Power impact: none (all rewards are cosmetic)
2. How To Claim The Free Mystery Box Event
There’s a free The Last of the Druids Mystery Box available right now as a holiday giveaway, and it’s the easiest “yes, just grab it” MTX you’ll get all season. The key detail is that this free claim only triggers within the Path of Exile 2 game client, not when browsing the website shop.
If you plan to open any boxes at all, claim the free one first so you can see how the theme looks on your character before spending points. For the full information, you can read the details on the official Path of Exile 2 website.
2.1. Redeem Steps
- Launch Path of Exile 2.
- Open the in-game shop (client shop, not the website).
- The Mystery Box should be automatically added to your account.
- Check your Microtransaction Stash and look for it under Consumables.
Important: It can take around 30 minutes for the free box to appear on your account after you trigger it.
2.2. Eligibility Rules And Deadline
- One free box per account.
- Your account must have been created before the giveaway day (accounts made after that are not eligible).

Deadline is January 8, 2026. The Time Zone displayed will match your local time.
3. How To Buy And Open The Mystery Box in Path of Exile 2
Buying and opening is straightforward, but players still miss the box because they check the wrong menu. The box is treated like a consumable microtransaction, so it won’t appear as an armor piece until you open it.
If you’re claiming the free one and buying extras, do both in the same session so you can confirm the box shows up correctly.
3.1. Where It Shows Up In Your MTX Stash
- Purchase the box in the in-game shop.
- Open the Microtransaction Stash.
- Go to Cosmetics (or My Cosmetics, depending on your UI).
- Select the Consumables tab.
- Click the Mystery Box to unwrap it.
4. No Duplicate Variations And How Odds Work
The Mystery Box uses a “no duplicate variations” rule, meaning you won’t open the same variant twice. If an item has multiple thematic variants, you can still pull another version later, but not a duplicate of the one you already own.
That makes the box feel better the longer you stick with it, because every open removes something from your remaining pool.
4.1. Why Your Chances Improve Over Time
- There’s an equal chance to open each distinct microtransaction type from the box.
- The chance of getting a specific variant depends on the item, and some variants are far rarer.
- The listed drop rates apply to the first box you open.
- Every box after that improves your odds of getting something you don’t own yet, because duplicate variants are blocked.
5. All Items in The Last of the Druids Mystery Box
The theme mix here is broad, but it’s not messy. Most rewards fall into a few clear buckets: Stormborne armor, Marionette cosmetics, time-and-sands portals, map devices with trackers, and a set of quality-of-life style cosmetics for hideouts and stash management.
If you want the highlights, focus on the armor sets, the map devices, and the stash/hideout pieces.
5.1. Stormborne Huntress Set And Variants
The Stormborne Huntress look is element-driven, with body armor variants themed around cold, fire, lightning, and chaos.
- Body Armour Variants: Frigid, Infernal, Thunderous, Chaotic
- Helmet/Gloves/Boots: one main set that matches your equipped body variant
- Back Attachments: matching variants
- Weapon Skin: applies to spears, shields, quarterstaves, bows, and quivers
5.2. Marionette Set, Character Skin, And Weapon Skins
If you like creepy-cute cosmetics, the Marionette set is the standout.
- Armor Variants: Porcelain and Fleshveil
- Back Attachment: includes a windup-crank vibe
- Weapon Skins: for sceptres, flails, wands, and staves
- Character Skin: full puppet transformation option
5.3. Portals And Map Devices With Trackers
These are cosmetics with personality, and they also show off progress.
- Desert Sands Portal Effect (plus rarer color variants)
- Hourglass Map Device: tracks map completion time, lets you pin best times
- Soulslash Portal: dramatic “slice and dice” gateway vibe
- Prison Waygate Map Device: tracks souls from slain monsters, visuals change as portals are lost
5.4. Hideout Tools, Stash Cosmetics, Pets, And Effects
This is where the box gets surprisingly practical, at least by PoE cosmetic standards.
- Toad Idol Hideout Decorations: quick-use currency idols for Alchemy, Chaos, and Corruption, pulls orbs from stash/inventory, and tracks uses

- Pets: Phoenix and Quillbook variants
- The Phoenix pet has a special flourish when you die and respawn at a checkpoint

6. The Last of the Druids Mystery Box Quick Tips
If you’re opening boxes casually, the system is simple: claim the free one, open it, and decide if the theme hits. If you’re chasing a specific rare variant, understand that even with duplicate protection, you’re still rolling against a big pool.
The smartest approach is picking a target theme and treating everything else as a bonus, because that’s how Mystery Boxes stay fun instead of frustrating.
6.1. Best Way To Open Boxes If You Want Specific Themes
- Claim the free box first so you can see the cosmetics in your own lighting and character silhouette.
- If you’re buying, consider the bundle if you already know you want multiple opens.
- Expect variants to be the long chase. The system avoids duplicate variants, but it can still take time to hit a specific rare color.
- If the box doesn’t appear after redeeming, give it up to 30 minutes, then re-check Consumables in your MTX stash.
And that’s everything you need to know about Path of Exile 2‘s The Last of the Druids Mystery Box. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
