Petition Splinter Guide: What It Is and How to Use It in POE 2

Petition Splinters serve as a key currency in Path of Exile 2 for accessing high-end pinnacle content, specifically the Crux of Nothingness and its boss, The King in the Mists. Players collect stacks of these splinters, which drop from various endgame activities, and consume them at the Realmgate to open portals scaled by difficulty.

What Are Petition Splinters?

These stackable items (up to 300 per stack) act like ritual shards, obtained primarily through mapping, Delirium encounters, or boss farming. At the Realmgate, minimum requirements start at 50 splinters for the base Crux portal, scaling to 100 or 150 for harder versions with increased boss health (1.85M to 9.20M HP) and better rewards like Omens, uniques, and divines. They enable targeted farming of chaos/physical damage bosses, with shift-click unstacking for precise spending.

How to Farm Them Efficiently

Focus on Delirium mirrors in juiced T11+ maps with high quantity tablets, atlas trees boosting rare monsters, and distilled emotions for 15%+ rarity—yielding 150-250 splinters per map. Expedition Logbooks and citadel strategies also excel, converting into bulk stacks for 30+ divines/hour profit via King runs. Runic Splinters follow similar patterns for other bosses, but Petition shines for Mists' Omen drops like Corruption (13ex each).

Using Splinters at the Realmgate

Travel to the Realmgate hub, interact with the device, and spend splinters to spawn a portal—50 for entry-level (quick 40-second clears on LA Deadeye), up to 64k+ for ladder pushes netting 140+ divines in 5 hours. Dodge red telegraphs on the King, who heals between phases; scale attempts based on gear to avoid losses from lag or deaths.

Tips for Every Build

LA Deadeye or spark clearers maximize speed for 428+ kills per session, trading Omens of Erasure (300ex+) and Ingenuity uniques. Beginners start at 50-splinter runs for profit testing; veterans juice with fracturing mirrors for mirror-tier rewards. Bulk farm to flip at 140 div/64k investment, hedging with rune sales.
