In Path of Exile's 3.22 Expedition league, Grinding Gear Games introduced charms - a new type of powerful accessory that can drastically optimize builds. Now in the 3.23 expansion, we've had plenty of time to evaluate all available charms and their interactions. In this guide, we'll detail what we believe to be the top charms based on our testing and theory-crafting. While we may have overlooked options that stand out for specific builds, our goal is to highlight the most generally impactful charms and the new synergies they enable. Whether enhancing existing powerhouse mechanics or unlocking fresh playstyles, the top charms push the boundaries of min-maxing.

Charms were introduced as a new item type that players can equip into dedicated ring slots to gain passive bonuses, similar to notable passive skills. They are class-specific and offer random modifiers like increased damage, new effects tied to skills or mechanics, or better scaling for existing bonuses. By equipping up to three charms that have the same modifier, their bonuses are significantly scaled, enabling powerful interactions for specialized builds. Different charm modifiers also have varying tiers of effectiveness depending on the item level they generate. Charms in Path of Exile add further customization and optimization possibilities through combinable extra bonuses that synergize with and amplify ascendancy classes and existing damage or defensive mechanics. Now in PoE 3.23, these are the best charms enhancing the power of your build!
