What Is Hoghunt

Hoghunt is a unique version of the Felled Greatclub, a two-handed mace that leans heavily into physical damage. It's built for characters who rely on crit-based melee attacks and benefit from Strength scaling. Whether you're leveling or experimenting with crit-stacking mechanics, Hoghunt can be a highly effective weapon in the right hands.

How to Get Hoghunt in Path of Exile 2

As of now, Hoghunt is available through various loot sources. Here's how players typically obtain this unique mace:

1. World Drops

Hoghunt can be obtained as a random world drop in areas appropriate to its item level. You'll want to run mid-tier zones, as the item is not endgame-tier but also doesn't appear extremely early. Mapping in the level 30–50 range gives you a decent chance at seeing it drop naturally.

2. Vendor Recipes

Though no known vendor recipe currently guarantees Hoghunt, keeping an eye on vendor exchanges that involve two-handed maces or crit modifiers could increase your chances of acquiring similar weapons while progressing through the campaign.

3. Boss and Chest Drops

Certain mini-bosses or elite enemies in side zones and dungeons have a higher drop rate for specific unique items. While Hoghunt isn't tied to a specific boss yet, expect new content patches to introduce targeted farming opportunities.

4. Trading with Other Players

Arguably, the most efficient method, especially if you're deep into the economy, is to buy Hoghunt using POE 2 Currency Orbs. With the right trading site or in-game trade interface, you can exchange Orbs and other currency items for this weapon rather than hoping for a lucky drop.
