The minion mod on belts in PoE2 has a minimum modifier level of 50. That means the belt needs to be high enough item level for that mod to appear.

A forum discussion from June 2026 also says belts are the main place to get the +minion skill modifier, with belts being the “winners” for this type of roll.

Practical takeaway

  • Minimum modifier level: 50.
  • Where it rolls: belts, and also rings/amulets in related discussions, but belts are the standout source for the strongest minion roll.

Why this matters

If you are trying to craft or trade for a minion belt, look for a base that can actually access that modifier pool. In practice, higher item level gives you the room to hit the minion roll you want.

TL;DR: Minion belt mods start at modifier level 50 in PoE2.
