In Path of Exile 2, the gear you wear often defines how far you can push your character in both endgame maps and brutal boss fights. One such item making waves in the early-access economy is the Sorrow Veil Wyrmscale Coat—a rare and highly sought-after armor piece that boasts powerful modifiers ideal for evasion-based and hybrid builds. In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know to obtain the Sorrow Veil Wyrmscale Coat, including its stats, where it drops, how to farm it, and how to craft or trade for the best version possible.

Overview: What Is the Sorrow Veil Wyrmscale Coat?

The Sorrow Veil Wyrmscale Coat is a rare-tier body armor with a base type of Wyrmscale Coat, which is an evasion and armour hybrid base. Items with this base are typically used in builds that want to dodge and mitigate damage at the same time, making it ideal for Rangers, Duelists, and Gladiators who rely on mobility and light armor mitigation.

However, what makes Sorrow Veil unique is not just its base but its pre-rolled rare modifiers. These modifiers are generally superior to randomly rolled stats and often synergize with niche builds—especially ones focusing on high evasion, attack speed, elemental resistances, or Life on hit effects.

Base Stats of Wyrmscale Coat

Before discussing the Sorrow Veil version, here’s what the base Wyrmscale Coat provides in PoE 2:

Base Armour: ~120–150

Base Evasion Rating: ~120–150

Item Level Requirement: Level 35+

This balance between evasion and armour allows players to use it in hybrid defenses builds, typically combined with Determination + Grace auras, or new Ward-based mitigation layers.

Affix Pool – Sorrow Veil Variants

While exact affixes can vary due to the procedurally generated nature of rare items in PoE 2, the Sorrow Veil typically drops with high-value mods such as:

+90 to Maximum Life

+15–20% to All Elemental Resistances

+% Increased Evasion and Armour

Attacks have +# to Critical Strike Chance

+#% to Global Physical Damage

+# to Dexterity or Strength

These modifiers make it excellent for physical attack builds, such as:

Bow Deadeye with scaling crit and evasion

Flicker Strike Duelist builds

Champion builds with aura stacking and high armor/evasion synergy

Poison-based Rangers who need survivability but don't want to run full armour

How to Get Sorrow Veil Wyrmscale Coat

 1. Natural World Drops (Endgame Farming)

The Sorrow Veil Wyrmscale Coat can drop naturally as a rare item from high-level monsters, especially those in Act 5 and beyond or Tier 5+ mapping zones. The base Wyrmscale Coat starts dropping at item level 35, but Sorrow Veil versions usually only appear with item level 70+, meaning:

Best zones to farm:

The Crucible Forge (PoE 2 exclusive area)

The Caverns of Regret (Act 6 Boss farming)

Nightmare Atlas Zones

Delve depth 100+

 2. Target Farming with Divination Cards (If Available)

In Path of Exile 2, Divination Cards are slowly being introduced with sets for specific gear bases. If GGG implements a div card that rewards a Wyrmscale Coat or Sorrow Veil prefix item, this will become the best deterministic farming method.

Check for new cards like:

"Hunter’s Pride" – rumored to drop a rare evasion-based body armor

"Veil Unbroken" – possibly PoE 2’s answer to The Offering card set

If these drop in maps like Thicket or Spider Forest, target them using Atlas passives.

 3. Vendor Recipe Farming (PoE 2 Specific Crafting)

Path of Exile 2 introduces new vendor recipes, and although most are not datamined yet, it’s very likely that the rare modifier “Sorrow Veil” is part of a specialized vendor turn-in that involves:

A magic Wyrmscale Coat with specific stats

A Veiled modifier item

Orb of Alchemy or Chaos Orb

Keep an eye on community recipe discoveries or test combinations in high-level acts (Act 6 onward). GGG has added more "secret" recipes to encourage exploration in PoE 2.

4. Crafting and Using Essences

Another option is to force rare modifiers on a Wyrmscale Coat base using Essences or PoE 2's Rune Imbuing System.

Steps:

Farm or purchase a high item level Wyrmscale Coat (ilvl 70+)

Use Essences of Sorrow, Greed, or Torment to force Life, Resistances, or Global Crit

Add modifiers using the new Rune system or Metamod bench crafting

Aim for 4-5 tier 1 mods that simulate Sorrow Veil

This method requires currency, but it may yield even better stats than a naturally dropped Sorrow Veil.

 5. Trade Marketplace – PoE 2 Economy

The PoE 2 player-driven economy is flourishing, and Sorrow Veil Wyrmscale Coats are already appearing on the trade board in several currencies:

POE 2 Chaos Orbs: ~40–80 chaos depending on roll

Divine Orbs: For mirror-tier versions

Exalted Shards/Orbs of Binding (new PoE 2 trade currency)

Use the Official PoE Trade Website or community Discords to locate sellers. Be sure to filter by:

90+ Life

15%+ all res

1200+ combined Evasion and Armour

Relevant suffixes (Dexterity, Crit Multiplier)

“Enemies you Kill Explode”

“+1 to Socketed Active Skill Gems”
