im wondering if its worth making another guide for people that arent far enough into end game to have all the different crafting choices you listed. I think there are a ton of players that stop progression around yellow maps, so most of the end game choices you discussed would not apply. I find it relatively easy to get good enough gear to handle white/yellow, but usually fall flat working into red maps, and dont have a good understanding of how to progress my gear, since my gear is, at that point, usually dependent on each other (for instance, resists are barely over caps, or gear has critical functions for the build like life regen or something)
Poe chat keeps recommending ziz videos for beginners but every time i check one out its never for beginners. I guess beginners in poe terms means "you played 2k hours and tried 18 different builds"
@@padarousou that's understandable given the vast amount of information but in PoE case they should use a different terminology for extremely beginners. Maybe something like newbie for 2k
I am struggling putting items to sale as a new player, this is what i needed, your channel is so good for new players. Great work, I'll try do die less than you do.
Put all hard to price items in like 10c stash tab. If you get spammed with message fast, then go back and check that specific item, because it's probably underpriced. Let other people price check for you. Work smarter, not harder
installing awakened poe trade is the best thing you can do. it will give you a much faster idea of an items value and help you understand what on that item is worth something

@@CelphTitled7 It's the best way to play and benefits everyone. Individually pricing items is never gonna happen at bulk, so lots of usable cheap items will go to waste. Bad for the community. Having a few big hits being dumped into a bulk tab is the trade-off of doing it this way and is hardly a negative. I do understand your ignorance on the topic however as you lack the experience/foresight.
I think a newer player would have a hard time selling anything as they don't have really good stuff to sell unless they are in higher maps or crrafting.
This is the exact guide I had wanted for my first few leagues. I have the hang of things now and the comment on playing more builds obviously helps, but this is literally one of the most invaluable resources for new players aside from a POB guide. The reason for that is because the decision paralysis of looting in these games is unreal. To teach someone what is worth keeping or vendoring is going to keep their stash clean and their time valuable which is like giga strong skill to have in POE. Amazing work ziz and editors.
I used to pick up every rare and id them, and constantly do the chaos recipe after a while... i got absolutely no where lol that was many years ago but we all start somewhere, now i can get to maps day 1 and make 10div a day after week 1
Loot in this game is very daunting. I'm not sure I have the energy to learn this skill, considering my limited time. There's also so many systems now, that you need to handle to progress at a decent pace... it's intimidating to say the least.
@@ExceedProduction There are many resources to teach, but if you are short on time, just take advantage of the crafting bench and essences, and keep it simple. This game is amazing and you odn't need to learn 10% of it the first time you play it. Just get through some and have a good time
True. This is bad game design in my opinion. The stats potency is counter-intuitive. This game is about about dealing damage, and yet the main stats to look for are health and resistances. The combat is lightning fast and the game itself is just monster grinder. Doesnt matter if you deal fire damage or physical, there is no feel to it when the mobs die in one hit. No idea what damage my minions do and what minions are better. This is just ridiculous.@@ExceedProduction
you could say how to use awakend POE trade to try to figure out price also some uniques with perfct rolls are worth something even if trade addon show 1c price
@@theelder4797 i didnt even beat the campaign and i already dont want that, just mapping seems to be a better use of time than constantly getting interrupted for 1c trades.
Having several stash tabs with ascending prices is great aswell. Put for example all your rare jewels in a stash tab with the price put to 1d, and each day you lower the price until something sells.
Great question, poorly answered. "Here's a random item I picked. I'm arbitrarily TELLING you which 2 stats out of the 6 it has are important. I'm NOT telling you how to find out what the important stats are for yourself; not for this item, OR any of the 10 billion other items I didn't list. Ok, hope you enjoyed the video, good luck!"
Virtually all items you pick up from the ground are trash after the first 48 hours of league start. Don't pick up items after you're done using chaos recipe or gearing (aside from SSF). Just a waste of time and reduces your currency per hour significantly. Aside from fractured good bases and maybe some i86+ bases. Get a loot filter and go stricter than you think you should much sooner.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to make this video Ziz. It's my second League and now that I've finished all my maps and reaching voidstones, I'm struggling with the next step. These guides help a lot
I skipped the last couple leagues, but I'm a veteran for sure. I learned a couple things though. The idea of vaaling iron rings is simple but brilliant. Overall an incredibly succinct and informative video. Some solid examples and very easy to understand reasoning.
What’s makes a good base? You spoke about how an item has some great stats but then said it’s on a bad base. For me this is probably the hardest thing to figure out at the moment.
God bases are basicaly the high requeriments bases armours, based in just id itens, not crafted, for rings (amethyst, two Stone and vermiliion), belts (stygian, crystal, leather and the str base), amulets (double att bases and Life regen%)
Talk about perfect timing! I just started playing for the first time yesterday. One of my first questions was "How do I know which gear to keep?" I'm used to the concept, coming over from Diablo 4, but PoE is a different game. I even asked around on your discord this morning and, a few hors later, viola: you delivered this video! The chart is EXTREMELY helpful!! I'm going to print it and post it near my PS4. Some of the stuff was over my head but it will come in time. Thank you so much for a fantastic video!
When you talk versatile Im in 😌✌🏻 play different build and get lost 😂 throw yourself 🙂 I love that when I know I can make it worth and now its with your words for me as guidance.. thanks! a lot ziz bro
if i get spammed i usually whisper the people back and ask them the real worth of the item. Honest answer that makes the most sense gets it for listed price even if its 5 divines worth more.
When you are new, u consider an open suffix good. When you want good gear, you consider open suffix is worst than open prefix for almost all slots. Rings and amulet is obvious, it's pretty generally understood you want Elreon for most builds (for amulets also some very strong damage mods like aoe/damage or proj damage/speed). For your helm, you very very often want Korell. For your body armor, Gravicius is often BiS and incomparable to any of the awful things you can craft on a suffix. Only exception may be %attributes. Boots you often want to make your suffixes first so you can get veiled ms and bench life. Those the cookie cutter simple boots to make. For gloves, there you have excellent bench craft on both prefix and suffix. For weapon, both caster and attack, almost only suffix is something u bench craft. Shields, good options on both sides there too. Open suffix is only good on bad gear when bench crafted res is considered a good thing. So very early gear stuff. On good gear, the difference is your bench craft prefix is often better than any other mod you could have there. While bench crafted suffixes are often slightly worst than a good natural mod. You can bench attack speed, but it never will be as good as the natural mod. While you cannot roll pierce one target on your gloves or phys taken as fire on your helm naturally and for some builds, these are very helpful.
@@m.h.4907 Yes think I may have said that. Bench craft mods for most gear pieces is still best on prefixes. Because those bench craft mods are better than anything you can naturally roll. I'm thinking Elreon, Korell, Vorici, Gravicius, all those bench crafts are arguably the best prefix you can have on certain builds. So where possible your best items should have an open prefix for those very powerful bench crafts.
I learned it by playing builds, like high life and resistances is the first thing you learn, then the plus to gems and some others stood outs, playing an ES build gave me insight into what stats you want on ES build and so on... the biggest jump in understanding I got was definitely trying to craft items, you get hands on experience on how hard some stats are to get and what it costs to make that item. Id say for new players look for items for your build and sell/buy , etc,.. and try different builds to learn new valuable stats but try to get into crafting, it will speed your learning and make building up much cheaper.
Was hoping this would me understand how to gear my toon. I just got level 77 and am in tier 4 maps. I still have no idea what gear I'm looking for. I can't find half the pieces on the pob and when I do I never have enough currency to fix the sockets.
Great Video, it's my first run through of the game and my first ARPG ever. I was gonna play diablo 4 but the reviews weren't good I I like the game play of ARPG's and getting used to it in preparation for POE 2. But I recently ran into Vaal, and although I beat him on the second try it let me know i am woefully unprepared with my current skills, weapons, and gear. As the random fodder of Act 3 is actually starting to give me problems.
I still cannot wrap my head around elemental weapons. Why is it that I would need flat lightning and fire on my weapon in order to have frost blades do more damage even tho frost blades is cold/phys -> cold? Especially if I don't intend to use trinity? Or is trinity a must have on any elemental attack build?
Usually Elemental Attack builds don't scale one type of element, they scale crit or generic elemental damage, so anything you add to your base damage is very valuable.
Only thing I would have asked for in this video or another is how to price such things. Maybe I'm crazy, but I just rarely ever find something I price over 20c. I probably should download the app that price checks things as a start though. However, knowing something is worth 20c or 20d is a big difference. Quite a few times, I've had something that was listed at like 5c finally sell after weeks, that I'll go check after because even I thought "that's really good" and the next cheapest one is 5 times or more what I sold mine for. But a video on a pricing tool or how to gauge a price would be really appreciated. This video has already helped me immensely though.
As someone with dyslexia reading items quickly is a real issue. I really wish that they would extend the filter system to also allow us to highlight certain stats on items. So I would be able to make life on a item above a certain number have a green color text or +1 gems be purple. This would make the game 1001% more better for me. But maybe that's just me. I also think items should drop identified. This isn't D2 a single juiced map likely drops more items than an entire start to finish run of d2. I never pick up items unless it has a specific base with the influence I need. The whole dopamine hit they are going for when you ID an item and it's actually not trash just doesn't realistically happen. It is so rare. Meanwhile if items drop identified we can get that dopamine hit when the item drops and we will hyped because it will be something we think is valuable because we can filter this with our item filter.
The loot filter can already look at mods and highlight items with good mods that drop, but this is limited in use because only Corrupted items drop identified.
Just remember if you put something up for sale and you get a bunch of messages to buy immediately then you might want to take a second look at the item as you may have undervalued it.
I think a really good video would be how to min max cradting or atleast tips and tricks to cover the little details/nuances. Like how you say crafting mana blocks while unveiling. I didn’t know that. It’s all these little things about crafting that are really nuanced and I can guarantee the average player or new player has no idea. Including myself.
I am new poe player her just startted during the last league, i cant craft in my hideout more than 30% res on my gear how do you get 70% res on the gear any suggestion?
Harvest bench spam 'reforge including fire/cold/lightning mod' will eventually land you t1 resist of one or two of those types. You can view tiers of mods by enabling extended item descriptions in settings and holding alt over the item.
You just find it off the ground with 70%+ resistances, and if you have an open suffix you can craft a 30% resistance on the bench, like you said. -Skryah
You explaine all that for yourself! In your head all those things are clear and you just repeat them while listening to your own voice. If you want to teach someone, that means that the one who is learning, DOESEN'T NOW ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU NOW! Someone who allready now's, can appreciate your knowledge. But that is jus braging. If you want to teach someone, you need to slw down, stop and explaine detailes, show for instance ON THE ITEM, what are you talking about. What are you doing is to pour a ton of information in a verry short time ans say Good Bye! Wrong! Teaching doesen't work like that. Bad video! Dislike and do not recommand this channel.
Good guide, but I think only understand 30% of the practical examples. lol. I played 2-3 leagues, but all stopped when mapping started. The game is offering too much, my brain just stopped functioning and don’t know what to do next, so I stopped playing. 3.25 is the first league I really started mapping, this guide is still a bit advanced for casual players like me. It certainly requires other knowledge as there are just too many things in the game. The cheat sheet really helps, that’s the main thing I will take away from watching.
I just came back to the game and brought my buddy with me. He's a new player and I've been gone for like 6 years. I didn't want to play on the league because it was already underway and trying to teach the game to my buddy when I have so much more to catch up on didn't make it worthwhile. So for now we're playing on standard but that's completely different than leagues. Any advice for what to do in standard or is it just better to play in league?
Play SSF. Can you use it? It's a good item. You can't? It's worthless trash that you vendor even if someone on trade would pay you a mirror for it. Sucks to be them. This is how ARPGs should be IMO, the more you get away from wearing the stuff you get yourself the less it makes sense and just becomes this whole other weird genre where you might as well go play the stock market.
ty for this. the item for item breakdown realy made a lot of sense to me. the bit after that especialy the examples has a lot of points that you need some experience in the game to know whats going on ( knowledge talk, or gibberish if youre new or newer player)
If you start PoE as a new player, you can't know all that stuff, as a new player you get in touch with so many mechanics, you have no clue about items or crafting or stats on items or chaos recepie. PoE is so big an full of mechanics, you must play 3 seasons to know the basics. There are tons of things you can watch in videos or have to keep in mind. But all this makes it for me the GOAT ARPG. You can easy spend 2 years on it and in this 2 years there will alot of new stuff and extensions.
everything is cheap the first week of the league, that why it sucks to start at the end like i always end up doing,. :/ you gotta get chaos as soon as possible so u can get decent bows and stuff for the low low bc ppl just need currency and sell expensive stuff like void key for 20c
vid is helpful no doubt, but for me as a new player to poe im struggling to understand all the possibilities i can do with crafting, there are so many crafting systems veil, harvest etc
I always sell things cheaper that the latest price. They always sell lwhen they are a bit cheaper than the rest. Idc if someone is buy8ng the items just to mark them up... then we both win lol. I use awakened poe so i wont miss the really juicy ones
after 2 weeks into league i don't identify any item that's not fractured and below ilevel 83 unless i am specifically looking for a low level fractured item to make crafting easier in some case
The most confusing thing about this game is why? why did they make it so overly complicated? Plenty of people like it, plenty of people get it, but it seems unnecessary. A game doesnt need to be as complex as PoE. its not better because of it, its just that it works as complex as it is so its fine. but the game would be every bit as good if it werent as complex. I want to like this game because the end game looks so fun, but im so bored while playing it (even ignoring the complexities and just trying to use skills I find fun, end game be damned), that I cant even get half way through the campaign before wanting to play something else.
it uses the same tiered prefix/suffix system as any other arpg, sorry to say. its not really unique in that way. the poe complexity really comes from the massive amount of other items outside of gearing. d4 changed players perception of what's simple/complex because of the green % numbers but those only account for paper numbers. d4 also uses the same prefix/suffix system as well btw.
In crucible I wanted to buy gloves listed for 40c. I whispered the seller and he made it 1D, I messaged again, now those were 2D. Literally the same story. I kept going till 12D and then he invited me which I ignored and he started to whisper me if I'm ready to trade. And his gloves were still there when I quit few weeks before league end.
people putting bs asking prices is a problem and GGG should address that. the same folks who do it, are the type to go up everytime you ask. nothing worse than seeing a fairly priced item, go up several divines just because the idiot finally got some interest. its the traders in this game that make the game far harder than it already is coded to be. you NEED upgrades, but youll never see the currency required to purchase upgrades at the prices some folks think a few pixels are worth
This is what scares me about poe. It's as if you can't play the game without outside help. But since d4 has been such a let down I'm looking forward to trying poe2.
its perfectly fine to just ignore most things and play using a guide, or not at all for your first couple of leagues. you'll just have to accept that you'll be vendoring some potentially good loot that would otherwise sell for a bit. unless you follow the cheatsheet that's linked. although the numbers a tad bit out of date.
What ruins teh game is the -60 resistances after you beat Kitava. It means that Every item I find HAS to have a huge ammount of resists or its useless,
I mean it is tough for new players, and I kinda wish there was a way around it but it's not too hard if you're focusing on them while making your build. Last league I played used The Annihilating Might, which reduces resistances by a further 60%, and Loreweave for 78% max resistances and still capped them even on a medium budget.
Personally, I find that the probability of randomly picking up a really good rare is low enough that it's simply not worth all the effort it takes to sift through them. So I just sell them all indiscriminately. Yes I probably miss from some great rares, but it's far less tedious.
Good beginner guide. I have NEVER seen a belt or anything with 70% total Elemental resistances. good example of what you want but that;s a higher map item or crafted item. You still talking about different crafting methods that may be beyond beginners and also trading if they have chaos or divines. Been playing a little while and hardly ever got divines. You gave some good advice but some still above what a beginner can do. As in other vids you move along/talk fast to try to keep up.
I want to do the impossible and sort/vendor my standard tabs. Yes, the remove only ones. I am starting this now since I've sold all my metamorph organs and must refer to the drop-disabled items list since there are some legacy items I'd like to keep (not just the flasks with the old graphics). I'm guessing I can shred almost everything short of good implicit corrupted items, synth items, 6-links, T-1 res/life/attributes... still, the process will be fairly exhausting. Any other main advice? Like a good Unique's tier list?
It's so weird for me, coming from the diablo 3 space, where +maximum life is pretty bad and now it being the first thing almost every piece of gear wants :D
You are just an absolute treasure chest of info and help. Hope you are getting compensated by GGG because I’m enjoying the game so much mostly because of your help. Thanks!!
I solve this in a much simpler way... I returned to the game after like 3 years of not playing so I just ignore rares and go for guarantueed profit items only... I probably lose on a ton of profit but I enjoy the game more than when I used to worry about rare items
I haven't played Poe for a long time but at the time trading was one of the things that bothered me the most about the game. It takes up a lot of time that you should be playing.
I feel like ES needs its own guide for gearing I know they is a guide from way back but the game has changed a lot since. I also felt that it was a little bit unfair to skip it entirely. Some new players may just vendor high es bases because "it doesn't have life".

I learned it by playing builds, like high life and resistances is the first thing you learn, then the plus to gems and some others stood outs, playing an ES build gave me insight into what stats you want on ES build and so on... the biggest jump in understanding I got was definitely trying to craft items, you get hands on experience on how hard some stats are to get and what it costs to make that item. Id say for new players look for items for your build and sell/buy , etc,.. and try different builds to learn new valuable stats but try to get into crafting, it will speed your learning and make building up much cheaper.
Was hoping this would me understand how to gear my toon. I just got level 77 and am in tier 4 maps. I still have no idea what gear I'm looking for. I can't find half the pieces on the pob and when I do I never have enough currency to fix the sockets.
Great Video, it's my first run through of the game and my first ARPG ever. I was gonna play diablo 4 but the reviews weren't good I I like the game play of ARPG's and getting used to it in preparation for POE 2. But I recently ran into Vaal, and although I beat him on the second try it let me know i am woefully unprepared with my current skills, weapons, and gear. As the random fodder of Act 3 is actually starting to give me problems.
I still cannot wrap my head around elemental weapons. Why is it that I would need flat lightning and fire on my weapon in order to have frost blades do more damage even tho frost blades is cold/phys -> cold? Especially if I don't intend to use trinity? Or is trinity a must have on any elemental attack build?
Usually Elemental Attack builds don't scale one type of element, they scale crit or generic elemental damage, so anything you add to your base damage is very valuable.
@@skryah this makes sense, thank you for the reply
Only thing I would have asked for in this video or another is how to price such things. Maybe I'm crazy, but I just rarely ever find something I price over 20c. I probably should download the app that price checks things as a start though. However, knowing something is worth 20c or 20d is a big difference. Quite a few times, I've had something that was listed at like 5c finally sell after weeks, that I'll go check after because even I thought "that's really good" and the next cheapest one is 5 times or more what I sold mine for. But a video on a pricing tool or how to gauge a price would be really appreciated. This video has already helped me immensely though.
What about "minion build weapons"? I'm assuming they won't just fall into looking for physical or elemental bonuses?
I played a few leagues and different builds but recognizing good items and the right items for my build is still something I struggle with a lot.
As someone with dyslexia reading items quickly is a real issue. I really wish that they would extend the filter system to also allow us to highlight certain stats on items. So I would be able to make life on a item above a certain number have a green color text or +1 gems be purple. This would make the game 1001% more better for me.
But maybe that's just me. I also think items should drop identified. This isn't D2 a single juiced map likely drops more items than an entire start to finish run of d2. I never pick up items unless it has a specific base with the influence I need. The whole dopamine hit they are going for when you ID an item and it's actually not trash just doesn't realistically happen. It is so rare. Meanwhile if items drop identified we can get that dopamine hit when the item drops and we will hyped because it will be something we think is valuable because we can filter this with our item filter.
The loot filter can already look at mods and highlight items with good mods that drop, but this is limited in use because only Corrupted items drop identified.
Just remember if you put something up for sale and you get a bunch of messages to buy immediately then you might want to take a second look at the item as you may have undervalued it.
I started 3 weeks ago and already got 100+hours but still understand nothing.
This is exactly what i needed
I think a really good video would be how to min max cradting or atleast tips and tricks to cover the little details/nuances. Like how you say crafting mana blocks while unveiling. I didn’t know that. It’s all these little things about crafting that are really nuanced and I can guarantee the average player or new player has no idea. Including myself.
I am new poe player her just startted during the last league, i cant craft in my hideout more than 30% res on my gear how do you get 70% res on the gear any suggestion?
Harvest bench spam 'reforge including fire/cold/lightning mod' will eventually land you t1 resist of one or two of those types. You can view tiers of mods by enabling extended item descriptions in settings and holding alt over the item.
@@otter1428 ok thank you i will try it out but whaere is the harvest bench is it the same as crafting bench?
You just find it off the ground with 70%+ resistances, and if you have an open suffix you can craft a 30% resistance on the bench, like you said.
-Skryah
FINALLY!!!!! A video that I might actually understand!!!
I play this game solo, but oh how nice it would be to game with someone with your knowledge 😅 itd be so fun
Vendored my mirror because it had no life. 10/10, would not recommend.
Tip for new players forcus on items with slots that match the majority of yours gems if most of your gems are blue look for items with 4 blue slots
I understood like 5% of all this xd🤣
This game is complicated as hell
You explaine all that for yourself! In your head all those things are clear and you just repeat them while listening to your own voice. If you want to teach someone, that means that the one who is learning, DOESEN'T NOW ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU NOW! Someone who allready now's, can appreciate your knowledge. But that is jus braging. If you want to teach someone, you need to slw down, stop and explaine detailes, show for instance ON THE ITEM, what are you talking about. What are you doing is to pour a ton of information in a verry short time ans say Good Bye! Wrong! Teaching doesen't work like that. Bad video! Dislike and do not recommand this channel.
Good guide, but I think only understand 30% of the practical examples. lol. I played 2-3 leagues, but all stopped when mapping started. The game is offering too much, my brain just stopped functioning and don’t know what to do next, so I stopped playing. 3.25 is the first league I really started mapping, this guide is still a bit advanced for casual players like me. It certainly requires other knowledge as there are just too many things in the game. The cheat sheet really helps, that’s the main thing I will take away from watching.
I just came back to the game and brought my buddy with me. He's a new player and I've been gone for like 6 years. I didn't want to play on the league because it was already underway and trying to teach the game to my buddy when I have so much more to catch up on didn't make it worthwhile. So for now we're playing on standard but that's completely different than leagues. Any advice for what to do in standard or is it just better to play in league?
man.. i wish more people were as honest as you. keep on keepin on
Play SSF. Can you use it? It's a good item. You can't? It's worthless trash that you vendor even if someone on trade would pay you a mirror for it. Sucks to be them. This is how ARPGs should be IMO, the more you get away from wearing the stuff you get yourself the less it makes sense and just becomes this whole other weird genre where you might as well go play the stock market.
ty for this. the item for item breakdown realy made a lot of sense to me.
the bit after that especialy the examples has a lot of points that you need some experience in the game to know whats going on ( knowledge talk, or gibberish if youre new or newer player)
If you start PoE as a new player, you can't know all that stuff, as a new player you get in touch with so many mechanics, you have no clue about items or crafting or stats on items or chaos recepie.
PoE is so big an full of mechanics, you must play 3 seasons to know the basics.
There are tons of things you can watch in videos or have to keep in mind.
But all this makes it for me the GOAT ARPG. You can easy spend 2 years on it and in this 2 years there will alot of new stuff and extensions.
I love this game, in special the tree skill. Is huge but i just ❤❤❤ it. Its look a litlle bit like the tree of A.C - Valhalla 😊. Tnkks for video.
Most of items you were giving as examples don't drop until mid-lvl maps ! Good examples, but quiclkly goes beyond beginner level !
Fewer acronyms, tbh. I’ve been playing 3ish seasons and am still trying to catch up with the acronyms. 😂😂😂
everything is cheap the first week of the league, that why it sucks to start at the end like i always end up doing,. :/ you gotta get chaos as soon as possible so u can get decent bows and stuff for the low low bc ppl just need currency and sell expensive stuff like void key for 20c
vid is helpful no doubt, but for me as a new player to poe im struggling to understand all the possibilities i can do with crafting, there are so many crafting systems veil, harvest etc
I always sell things cheaper that the latest price. They always sell lwhen they are a bit cheaper than the rest. Idc if someone is buy8ng the items just to mark them up... then we both win lol. I use awakened poe so i wont miss the really juicy ones
after 2 weeks into league i don't identify any item that's not fractured and below ilevel 83 unless i am specifically looking for a low level fractured item to make crafting easier in some case
Install PoE Overlay.. press alt-d.
Now if only I could get my loot filter to check this...
There is no beginnings guide. The game is so complicated for people that never played this game that any beginner guide is not that
A so called 6 league player told me a corrupted gem cannot be level up hence asking for a cheaper price.
Be careful with this kind of player.
Is there a loot filter for console? Lol I know dumb question but I'm playing poe for the first time
Looking at all your examples, I guess I haven't yet found a good item in all my years of playing PoE.
Purchase 4 quad tabs. Sell everything you pick up for 1c. Profit.
that's easy
item is not a better version of your gear? ---> sell to npc cause your playing ssfhc.
I need a video like this but for console.. Completely different game almost..
I kinda want to vaal my frostbite dex life iron ring now but I just picked it up for 8 divines
Should I go to ssf to learn crafting or should I just stay softcore every league to get currency to craft?
had a seller do a similar thing to me with the metamorph unique ring. quit haggling at 5 div he still had it at league end for 8 div
I just gave up on picking up rare items from the ground unless it's fractured
Pouring one out for my fellow console players who can’t use a 3rd party loot filter.
the main stats is either of those or those in combination, I am new to POE and not sure what to expect?
The most confusing thing about this game is why? why did they make it so overly complicated? Plenty of people like it, plenty of people get it, but it seems unnecessary. A game doesnt need to be as complex as PoE. its not better because of it, its just that it works as complex as it is so its fine. but the game would be every bit as good if it werent as complex. I want to like this game because the end game looks so fun, but im so bored while playing it (even ignoring the complexities and just trying to use skills I find fun, end game be damned), that I cant even get half way through the campaign before wanting to play something else.
it uses the same tiered prefix/suffix system as any other arpg, sorry to say. its not really unique in that way.
the poe complexity really comes from the massive amount of other items outside of gearing.
d4 changed players perception of what's simple/complex because of the green % numbers but those only account for paper numbers.
d4 also uses the same prefix/suffix system as well btw.
In crucible I wanted to buy gloves listed for 40c. I whispered the seller and he made it 1D, I messaged again, now those were 2D. Literally the same story. I kept going till 12D and then he invited me which I ignored and he started to whisper me if I'm ready to trade. And his gloves were still there when I quit few weeks before league end.
people putting bs asking prices is a problem and GGG should address that. the same folks who do it, are the type to go up everytime you ask. nothing worse than seeing a fairly priced item, go up several divines just because the idiot finally got some interest. its the traders in this game that make the game far harder than it already is coded to be. you NEED upgrades, but youll never see the currency required to purchase upgrades at the prices some folks think a few pixels are worth
thank you. the loot filter does not work in my game. poe iceberg
As soon as a loot filters is mentioned i realized as a console player im just Fckd
This is what scares me about poe. It's as if you can't play the game without outside help. But since d4 has been such a let down I'm looking forward to trying poe2.
its perfectly fine to just ignore most things and play using a guide, or not at all for your first couple of leagues. you'll just have to accept that you'll be vendoring some potentially good loot that would otherwise sell for a bit.
unless you follow the cheatsheet that's linked. although the numbers a tad bit out of date.
This is one of the reasons cause I like to play SSF and not standard :D
Here's a hint: you don't. this guide is outdated every single minute.
Started the game yesterday confused ass hell with them items in poe
What ruins teh game is the -60 resistances after you beat Kitava. It means that Every item I find HAS to have a huge ammount of resists or its useless,
I mean it is tough for new players, and I kinda wish there was a way around it but it's not too hard if you're focusing on them while making your build.
Last league I played used The Annihilating Might, which reduces resistances by a further 60%, and Loreweave for 78% max resistances and still capped them even on a medium budget.
As a new player this is confusing. I'm not sure what some of the words u said are lol. Idk what tattoos are and other stuff
Welcome to math of confusion
Personally, I find that the probability of randomly picking up a really good rare is low enough that it's simply not worth all the effort it takes to sift through them. So I just sell them all indiscriminately. Yes I probably miss from some great rares, but it's far less tedious.
I tend to avoid picking up anything bigger than 4 squares unless I need something for that slot (Armor or Weapon)
I would like to know more about blocking mods. Is there a way to learn this on a specific item i drop, on craftofexile for example ?
Good beginner guide. I have NEVER seen a belt or anything with 70% total Elemental resistances. good example of what you want but that;s a higher map item or crafted item. You still talking about different crafting methods that may be beyond beginners and also trading if they have chaos or divines. Been playing a little while and hardly ever got divines. You gave some good advice but some still above what a beginner can do. As in other vids you move along/talk fast to try to keep up.
I want to do the impossible and sort/vendor my standard tabs. Yes, the remove only ones. I am starting this now since I've sold all my metamorph organs and must refer to the drop-disabled items list since there are some legacy items I'd like to keep (not just the flasks with the old graphics).
I'm guessing I can shred almost everything short of good implicit corrupted items, synth items, 6-links, T-1 res/life/attributes... still, the process will be fairly exhausting.
Any other main advice? Like a good Unique's tier list?
i use awakened poe trade to learn how to value items. looking up a lot
Reminder the time required to learn PoE is probably the same as learning 2 languages or getting a decent degree or trade skill, choose wisely.
12:40
Put a like for that neuron activation, cause that 100% nailed PoE players xD
Had fun playing through the campaign but this game seems way more complex and a little too complicated for me
It's so weird for me, coming from the diablo 3 space, where +maximum life is pretty bad and now it being the first thing almost every piece of gear wants :D
i will say this that playing OTHER builds AND knowing those builds , greatly help identifying some good items
You are just an absolute treasure chest of info and help. Hope you are getting compensated by GGG because I’m enjoying the game so much mostly because of your help. Thanks!!
I solve this in a much simpler way... I returned to the game after like 3 years of not playing so I just ignore rares and go for guarantueed profit items only... I probably lose on a ton of profit but I enjoy the game more than when I used to worry about rare items
Sir im planning to return to PoE but even after thousands of hours im noob, this will help me alot in preparation for PoE2 when it get released
I haven't played Poe for a long time but at the time trading was one of the things that bothered me the most about the game.
It takes up a lot of time that you should be playing.
Thank you for saying about the missing the potential item part, I think we all need that mentality and not too crazy about it.
I feel like ES needs its own guide for gearing I know they is a guide from way back but the game has changed a lot since. I also felt that it was a little bit unfair to skip it entirely. Some new players may just vendor high es bases because "it doesn't have life".
