In the vast and complex world of Path of Exile, few unique items offer as much early-game utility and leveling value for bow users as Hyrri’s Bite. A low-level unique quiver, Hyrri’s Bite provides a suite of powerful stats that make it a staple in many leveling builds and niche endgame strategies. Despite being a relatively common unique, obtaining it efficiently or at the right stage of your progression can significantly smooth out your gameplay.

This guide covers everything you need to know about Hyrri’s Bite in Path of Exile 2.0 and beyond: what it is, how to get it, where to farm it, how to craft it using vendor recipes, and how it fits into the game’s evolving economy and meta.

What is Hyrri’s Bite?

Hyrri’s Bite is a unique Sharktooth Arrow Quiver, and it’s most known for granting the following powerful stats:

Base Stats:

Requires Level 10

+(15-25)% to Cold Resistance

+(5-10) to all Attributes

+(30-40) to Evasion Rating

10% increased Attack Speed

Gain 5% of Life Leech from Attack Damage

+2 to Level of Socketed Bow Gems

Adds (10-20) to (30-40) Cold Damage to Attacks

These stats make Hyrri’s Bite a superb leveling item for bow characters. The cold damage boost, attack speed, attribute bonuses, and life leech make it viable into the 40s or even higher, depending on your build.

How to Obtain Hyrri’s Bite

There are three main methods to obtain Hyrri’s Bite:

World Drops (Random Drops from Monsters and Chests)

Vendor Recipe (Crafting via Specific Rare Items)

Trade (From Other Players via Trade Site or TFT Discord)

Let’s break down each method and how to use it efficiently.

1. Random World Drops

Hyrri’s Bite is part of the global unique drop pool, meaning it can drop from any monster or loot container in the game, as long as the monster level is 10 or above. However, as with any unique item, the chances are quite low unless you're specifically farming.

Best World Drop Farming Locations:

The Ledge (Act 1) – High monster density, easy layouts, quick resets.

The Blood Aqueduct (Act 9) – One of the best areas for farming Divination Cards and general loot.

Delve Depths (Depth 40–80) – Monsters in Delve drop many rare and unique items, especially in biomes like Frozen Hollow or Fungal Caverns.

Efficiency Tips:

Stack quantity and rarity modifiers using Magic Find gear.

Use Strongboxes, especially Arcanist’s or Cartographer’s Strongboxes, which can contain rare or unique gear.

Use Scarabs or Sextants with modifiers like “Monsters drop additional Unique items.”

2. Hyrri’s Bite Vendor Recipe (Best Method)

This is the most reliable and repeatable way to get Hyrri’s Bite. You can assemble the item by selling a specific set of items to any vendor.

Hyrri’s Bite Vendor Recipe:

To get Hyrri’s Bite, sell the following rares (not magic, not uniques):

1x Rare Sharktooth Arrow Quiver

1x Rare Onyx Amulet

1x Rare Crude Bow

All items must have a total of at least 40% quality combined (crafted quality works).

Pro Tip: Use armor, weapon, or jewelry quality currency (Blacksmith's Whetstone, Armourer's Scrap, etc.) on the items before selling them to ensure they hit 40%+ total quality.

This recipe will reward you with a Hyrri’s Bite (unidentified). It’s the best method for farming the item early and often.

3. Trade (Player Market)

If you don’t want to farm or use vendor recipes, you can buy Hyrri’s Bite from other players.

Where to Trade:

MMOEXP Discord (for bulk or crafting services)

Pricing (as of early 2025 in Path of Exile 2 league economy):

Normal league: 1–5 Chaos POE orbs depending on roll

How to Farm Items for the Vendor Recipe

If you choose to use the vendor recipe (which is recommended for SSF players), you’ll need specific rare items.

1. Crude Bow

Drops from Act 1 zones like The Coast and Mud Flats.

Can be crafted or corrupted into a rare using an Orb of Alchemy.

2. Sharktooth Arrow Quiver

A common quiver base that can be found early (Act 1–2).

If needed, buy a white one and upgrade it to rare.

3. Onyx Amulet

Random drop or can be crafted from other amulet bases.

You can use Essence of Dread or Fear to help create a rare version.

Once you’ve got these, add quality using applicable currency, and combine them to make your Hyrri’s Bite.

Hyrri’s Bite in Builds

Though mostly considered a leveling item, Hyrri’s Bite finds niche utility in some advanced setups:

Popular Build Pairings:

Tornado Shot / Ice Shot Levelling Builds – Perfect for Ranger and Deadeye.

Elemental Hit – The cold damage bonus synergizes with early elemental bow builds.

Poison or Crit Bows – The +2 Bow Gems can be surprisingly useful even into mid-tier maps.

Spectral Throw / Kinetic Blast – Sometimes used for early clearing with projectile skills.

Upgraded Version: Hyrri’s Demise

Many players confuse Hyrri’s Bite with Hyrri’s Demise, an upgraded version of the quiver.

Hyrri’s Demise Features:

Requires Level 45

Adds elemental damage to attacks

Significantly more damage scaling

You can obtain Hyrri’s Demise through the prophecy “The Servant’s Heart” (no longer in core game) or by trading with players. As of recent leagues, it's primarily acquired via drops or trade.

Economic Value and Investment Potential

In SSF leagues, Hyrri’s Bite is often sought after and used for leveling multiple characters, meaning it retains consistent value. In trade leagues, its price is very low due to the recipe availability, but good rolls can still command 4–10 Chaos Orbs early in a league.

Profit Tip:

Bulk farm recipe components and sell full sets or completed quivers on trade.

Look for corruptions like +1 to Socketed Gems or Increased Projectile Damage to flip for extra Chaos/Divine value.

Conclusion

Hyrri’s Bite remains one of Path of Exile’s most useful leveling uniques for bow-based characters. With its easy vendor recipe, powerful stats for early progression, and relevance in low-budget builds, it is a staple item that’s worth farming or crafting in every league.

Whether you’re a Solo Self-Found adventurer or a high-efficiency trade player, knowing how to obtain and utilize Hyrri’s Bite gives you a strong head start. Focus on farming the vendor recipe components, roll some quality, and get ready to blast through the campaign with the cold power of Hyrri’s legendary quiver.
