@@Max-qd2lf Some mice have scroll wheels that continue to spin when you push them in a direction. That is "unlocked". Locked is a normal scroll wheel that stops when you take your finger of it.
Technically I knew some of these as soon as they introduced them but I think a title like this conveys the content of the video the best. I'd definitely want to know all of this if I was on my second league of playing or I was a returning player after many years. There are some third party recommendations, could be more but I didn't want to make this too long. Let me know how many of these you didn't know! :D Thanks for watching!
@@axzantos4968 also thanks. But i wonder does this have to do with the fact that in poe with the shift you can't put 1 fossil down and hold ~19 and pick up the resonator. Does this work the same when you have 1 fossil and not a stack, just thinking :)
Couple more omegauseful tips that i haven't heared in like 4 years or so. Noone spreads this knowledge for some reason. First one. These's a site that calculates how many chromes you'd need to get your desired socket colors. Cant really remember the name but i google it with "vorici calc" whenever i need it. You gotta put your item' stats in the related boxes and it will tell you the cheapest way to color your items (for example if you should use chromatics on an item or just try 1g+1b workbench craft on your str boots). Second one. There's a way to make 4 off-colour sockets really cheap - "jeweller orb cloluring". It can take you like 100 jewellers instead of 500+ chromatics. All you gotta do is make your item 1 socket, throw couple chroms to get your first off-colour, then go to bench and make this item 2-socket. When you use this craft, the first one will be untouched. If you're lucky, second socket will be the right colour. If not - make the item 1s again and use the craft till you get it. The next step is... the same. You craft 3 sockets to get third off, if you're unlucky - craft 2 and then 3 again. Same goes for the last one. First 3 sockets are dirt cheap (1 jew for 2s craft and 3 jew for 3s), but the last one is 10 jew orbs. But if it will take you 10 4s crafts, this is still cheaper than hundreeds of chromas.
I have played this game for years, and didnt know of a couple. Like controll clicking items into their own tabs, and a couple other things. I have already favourited the video so I can watch it next time I play PoE and setup thing propperly ;)
Important note on binding orbs. DO NOT USE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP SOCKETS/LINKS. Binding orb change the sockets and links to 4. If you have a 6 linked item for example it will turn that into a 4 link.
A very good tip when crafting by "alt or chaos spam" is place the item on a tab, currency tab is even better, and then leave written in the search the required mod. So, lets say you want alt-spam a Thicket Bow to adquire "bow attacks fire 2 additional arrows". You should just write on search "additional arrows", for example, and then start to spam alts. The bow will became highlighted when you roll the mod. Of course you still should control yourself to not click pass the mod, but you save a lot of time reading the mods every time, specially when chaos/essence or other multi mods spams.
That is such a good advice I always follow, but clicking through hundreds of alts still gets me sometimes because of repetitiveness, guess can't do anything about it.
Extra info on the 4:08 3 -to-one map recipe: The "1-tier higher" map received is based on which map is based on the links. If there are two "1-tier higher" map possible, you can change permutations of the 3 "lower tier" map you sell to switch between the two example: t12 pit is linked to t11 beach, t13 cemetery and t13 cells. You have 4 of t12 pit. pit#1-2-3 gives cemetary. pit #1-2-4 gives cemetary. pit #2-3-4 gives cells.
Yes when early game (no watchstones). When vendoring higher tier maps that are not that tier naturally due to watchstones, they won't give a +1 tier of the connected map. Instead it will always give a random map that is a natural +1 tier map in the atlas tree (natural as in map tier without any watchstones equipped).
There's also another good tip : Bind all your auras in your 2nd hotkey slots so when you die you press ctrl 1 2 3 4 5... et boom auras are up in 2 seconds instead of rebinding them 1 by 1 in your first hotkey slots.
when using the in-game search function you can use the | key (shift+backslash, above the enter key) as an "or" function and a comma to act as an "and" function. life|energy will show things with life or energy life, energy will show things with life and energy
Thing I learned somewhat recently. You can Ctrl + C on items you mouse over in game. It will copy the items description and you can paste these in path of building to check if thats an upgrade for example. Or in craft of exile, to try some crafting options as well. Maybe this will be usefull to someone ^^
you can do this with trade items too, there is a button to copy it, them as an example: copy a timeless jewel into your character pob and see the changes in the tree before you buy it
18:25 A small note about curse. An enemy can only be MARKed once, regardless solo or party play, and can't be increased by curse limit. For example , If your curse limit is three, then you can hex enemy twice and mark once.
As a new player I realized that after finishing the story, and getting to epilogue, I was immediately, and completely, lost. I knew I could do the map machine, and that was literally it. :(
Which is anything you need to know.... you will automatically expeeience different leagues mechanics or have already experienced them in the storyline. So most important, try to run as many different maps as possible and "complete" them. White maps needs to be done while they are magic, yellow mals need to be rare and red maps need to be rare and corrupted
Also a helpful addition to the search tip, you don't have to click the search bar, ctrl + f will always focus onto the search bar in any menu and you can start typing
Another big tip for heist runners is you can exit and reenter the heist at any time before the alarm goes off to 'cleanse' any contraband you've picked up before the end case is cracked. This way you won't lose any exalts or currency you find on your journey to the end while trying to exit. You can also cursor over any of the doors in heist that rogues need to open and press V to open instead of clicking the little circle.
Kinda related, you can also use harbinger orbs on the guardian/elderslayer maps (keeps the encounter) if you want t16s but BEWARE because you can actually brick it into a beachhead lol
Hey Empy, I haven't played POE for a few years now but just wanted to thank you for this video man - such a useful collection of tips and if I ever decided to come back this would be the first refresher course I would take for sure! As much as I played this game a few years back I still feel so out of the loop with the amount of stuff constantly added - a video like this can really help. Was also a bit of nostalgia for me :)
As a new player i have had amazing experiences meeting ppl in the community. Everyone ive met has been super generous with their time and their resources. While i was learning about how the trading system works i definitely got scammed…but assumed it was my error. Thanks for that call out
About Heist trinket, there is two stats that work outside the Heists - one is chance to duplicate rogue markers dropped by monsters, and second is chance to duplicate markers from Smuggler's Cache.
EMPY you just made my day! The divine vessel recipe is MASSIVE for ssf! I went all the way to level 93 my first ssf character and never got a single vessel. I might actually go back to SSF because of this one freaking recipe. You're the GOAT dude.
I have 1700 hours in poe but there were so many tricks i didnt know! Thanks a lot for the QoL! I feel like many of those things are "Well they are in the game, but you dont know about that unless you explicitely look for them" like the crafting recipes or the "you gain an extra slot in map device if you do X" Stuff like that would help me motivate me for the game more, so having something like a greyed out slot thats teasing you like "i could be unlocked by doing X" This could make me strife towards something more andgive me a long term goal, and not quit like 1 meter before the finish line, because i didnt know there was one. I mean yes, i could read up on those, but i want to be able to enjoy path of exile and not let it feel like work.
Also for those who didn't know. If you type /afk you can type anything after /afk to add a custom message. Like /afk Ill be back in 15 minutes. So when someone whispers you when you are afk they will see that you will be back in 15 minutes
Coming from a guy who just started 6 weeks ago, THANK YOU! This game is overwhelming for new players, and I am sure many people just quit. Really helpful information, thank you.
I would say that the cast on death portal can be a death trap for newcomers (And sometimes even experienced players). It's a quick way to get back on track but it can also put you back in a really bad situation. Sometimes you die because of a lost bullet, other times you may get overwhelmed and surrounded, and reappearing in the middle of a swarm can kill you multiple times in a row making you lose a good chunk of experience and time. Everything else is amazing. I'm gonna have to burn that divine vessel recipe in my head, have always wondered why you get so few of them when they are so important!
brand new to POE here, deep diving the learning curve, saw this video. Great content, thanks! When you play deep-mechanic-based games, tips/tricks like these are a major part of evening out the play-experience, and imperitive to have! LOL though- you know the game is deep when you downloading and spend 6 hours watching various videos in reference to the game, 'to get the smoothest start plssible'. The best games are all like this, which is why I am still researching/watching/learning, and taking mental notes of what to go rewatch and when. Simply put the game is worth the investment of time at this point and I would even argue part of the fun for a game like this, as an intellectual-deep thinker, is the learning various aspects of it. Many folks just want instant everything, and then end up passing on learning curves, and then do not truly enjoy the experience of the game in full. Assuredly not a game for everyone, but so far it seems as an ARPG/Diablo/looter shooter/tactical play style gamer, these videos are already hitting the spot! (Ironically more shallow games do not hit the same notes when you do/get something right, and are not as fun as a game that requires a non stop deep dive/continual learning curve). I suppose it is like a symphony: some folks just prefer the bass of drums (amd enjoy that deep note), and some folks just enjoy an alto sax (and mayyybe but not a given: get into jazz). For those folks, a game like Diablo or CoD is right at home for them... Then there are those of us who like a full on symphony, and that is where deep mechanics games come into play, like POE for example. (And to those of us like that out here, videos like this are just part of the symphonic experience- like reading the music). Sure, you could enjoy a symphony without, but with? That is where it all comes together when gameplay is flowing forward, and you truly aporeciate the IP (heavy focus on the I part) of a game like POE. Sadly, it is now 2022 before I gave this game a chance and am as semi embaressed as a symphonic based hobbyist who just discovered Bach! None the less this video is coontributing, and will make my firat few hours in game a Moonlight Sonata, vs. say, a trap house song. Both have their places, but assuredly they do not hit the same notes. So with that said, I hope the depth of my thank you is a bit further expressed as a new POE player. I hooe there are many other videos like this on your channel, as I am atepping away from (yet again) Warframe for a break, had a Diablo itch but was bored with what that game is. Hopefully I will truly enjoy the POE experience!
Another hour or so of videos as I await dinner cooking, then eagerly firing up POE. This video is ranked as a 'first hour in game' reference point at the moment. I can only hope I enjoy Necro here as much as, if not more than, my Diablo 3 Necro. (Who will be eagerly waiting for my return if I need a dumb-dumb break, LOL)!
25:30 there is also a mod for x% chance of rogue stashes to duplicate. its a fairly high % actually and is really good money. i always use one that has both, worth it by a lot
Trading tip: buy consumables in bulk(like scarabs) that worth more than 1c thorough regular trade window and not a bulk search one. You can specify minimum stock through a "stack size" settings under Misc spoiler. It's extremely helpful because you can sort items not just by price, but also time, and you like never gonna buy Ex within first 3-5 bulk search traders, but you would like 100% buy from somebody who was placed on a market just a 5 seconds ago. You can do live searches for bulks this way too. You just need to look for prices to not be that much expenisve than a regular market value, but time is also the money, and actually I almost always can find items at the minimum market prices and have them sold to me instantly because they are recent and not much people are looking at them.
Being in Act 8 (farthest ever) and a nooblet visiting this video, there are certainly some great tips even though one can feel a little lost when visiting the deep-end of the content... a what map? it has it's own passives.. wha...? Still great editing and helpful content. Subscribed.
Hope you try out the new league. All it takes is one playthru to the endgame maps and many map bosses to fall in love with the game. The acts/campaign is honestly tedious to get through. But it's worth it once you get to maps.
What an incredible imparting of tips and hints to improve the PoE QoL and interface life. Took me literally days to get through and implement some of them. Thanks !
Been playing for close to 100 hrs and i didnt know more than half of this vid. Thanks for sharing the knowledge man, poe community is filled with very bright content creators/ players that care alot about detail.
@31:35 you clicked something, I think was Cntrl/D for trade pricing thing. What is the name of this program that needs to be downloaded? I am sure I probably found a good item but just vendor-ed it because it was not something I could use. I will be referencing this video many times for next season. Thank you. Being new as of season 3:18 the 3 items which jumped out most to me are: 1. The program I asked for above. Just need name or website to get it. 2. The trinket slot. Always wondered how to get it. 3. How people had 5 slots instead of 4 in map device.
1. Awakened Trade 2. Run a heist blueprint (trinket type) 3. Put in 4 different eternal emblem of legion fragment (except Maraketh, as it's most expensive), enter the portal and survive.
I am a casual player of Poe and I can say I didnt knew must of this information. So I can't wait to try all this out. Thank you for your video. Keep up the good work 👏
You can also use affinity for other stashes like expedition and heist by clicking the affinity button on those stashes. When you're in your regular stash, those items will go to the other stashes. Saves running around and putting those items into those separate stashes.
show this video to your friend who is new to poe, im starting 3rd league and this helped me a lot. mad respect empyrian for the information you provide
Poe Overlay is the best tool for making you currency in poe, the reason for this is time saved. When you are in game you can open the overlay trade window which opens that trade on left 30% of screen. This includes the fuzzy search as default, lets say you want to find a sextant for mapping just type in master (then pick alva) this is much faster than trade. Next you can save the search you just made to favorites which is ready for you next time. Further more it has live search function which is just like official site you just need to save the searches to favorites then activate them on live search, during mapping you get the popup and sound for live search, you can hotkey anything on keyboard to auto pm that person in game. What many people don't know about poe overlay is if you are buying from players and visit the hideout, sometimes they take 5-10seconds to trade you. You can just open overlay keeping your attention in game and continue to search other players sending them pm's and you never miss a trade as the popup is bottom right. You can even accept the trade with overlay open. This means you can watch Empyrian on full screen on the 2nd screen as you trade plebs that take to long :)
10:50 most important tip about resonators: if you have filled resonators of same type you can spam them on item like any other spamable currency. Don't need to click reso-click item cycle. Also for +5 slot Oshabi, its sharable but make sure everyone is inside before clicking oshabi, it gives completion of kill for challenges but do not give +5 slot if you are not inside when fight starts. Want to add them too, You don't need to complete trials for uber lab anymore. Cannot roll attack/caster crafts save your attack/caster mods from orb of annulment.
Been playing for years and this was actually very helpful. Thank you. The cast on death is just brilliant. I feel like a knob for not knowing that already.
About the search feature - it has some limitations that make very little sense:) When you search for complex things, and sometimes even using regular expressions, you may run out of search string length. Now the fun part, in most windows, including stash tab, npc trade / gamble windows etc the limit is 50. However for some weird reason, in your passive tree its 100, and I still have no idea why its not 100 in other places then:)
A note on horizon orbing maps, a good way to tell what's a "natural" map of its tier is to remove all of your watch stones by ctrl clicking them off your Atlas and looking at them that way
Never knew about the save hideout or the shared lab/bench .. I have lost items forgetting them in harvest though, like flasks. This vid must be gold for new players! Knowledge is power in this game more than any I know. Very nice work Empyrian. Your friendly neighbourhood billionaire.
Holy heck!! I started playing poe this week and this is insanely helpful, tysm!! I'm blown away buy how much you can do in this game and how it all comes together in the end
Sometimes watching videos like this scares me away from the game, because you realise just how much insane content there is available and how far behind you are in terms of basic knowledge
Ability to change ascendancy without creating new character is a big game changer, even though it cost a bit... Run normal lab, unspec every ascendancy notable and then you get option to pick your ascendancy again at the end of the lab.
@@trymusic4life One point cost like 5 regrets orbs, multiply it for how many points you want to respec. If you need to respec one point then you don't need to run lab, only if you want to change ascendancy.
Tip #41, Join a group of aurabots that feed you currency and then ignore the inventory management and vendor recipe section and dump all your loot you find onto a seller that does everything for you while you generate currency in a full party.
What a great video. Even after 10 years of PoE I learned a few new tricks, which doesnt even surprise me. There is always something new to find out in this game. I wish you will make a similar video with advanced tipps and tricks someday. That would be awesome.
Oh my god dude. "Always attack without moving." You just explained like 20 times I died when my character didn't dash the way they were supposed to. Thank you very, very much.
How do you do the fast ctrl clicking from inv. to stash like at: 10:10? Some AHK spam click type of thing? Edit - saw you talk about it at the end - x-mouse button control, thanks!
Great video. There were 2 things I did not know. First one skill point allocation/deallocation with ctrl click and second one this godly tool for left click scrolling :) Thx!
Nice video new players like me would sure appreciate, i'll just add one more tips: Disable ScreenShake !! For context, usually play minion then flickerStrick (mostly Fire Scion) but this league i've trust a friend and gone for a spicy one: The Lightning intel stacker, Long story short thing was running nice and smooth then i started to get my crit up and oooh man i wasn't ready for what was about too happen, i'll start flicking and my ping would go to the roof !(Like 6900ms) I'll troubleshoot with my friend but nothing UNTIL an other friend told me to "Check the screenshake, that shit hate flicker" and HE WAS RIGHT !
i love obscure mechanics, you can use haku's quality craft on weapoon swap to increase xp gain of exceptional gems. another gear swap mechanic, as long as socket colours, links and number are the same, when swapping gear their auras will remain active, same applies to weapons if you somehow utilize proper weapon swap playstyle.
It was of little use to me, but if I had seen this video about 6 years ago it would have changed my gameplay completely. At least I can recommend it to newbies friends. Thaks for the hard work!
knew a lot of these but the horizon orbing guardian maps is a huge game changer for someone who likes to boss, can't believe I didn't know this, Thanks!
I've started playing POE again after completing the campaign years ago ( I can't remember much about the game), because I've gotten board of Diablo 4. And already, 10 minutes into this video I can see why POE is 100x better than Diablo 4! So much accessibility and control for the User!
any setup trick to the xmousebutton im missing... got it working setting up+down to left click but my scroller is fairly "heavy" so it still felt really shit and slow... so either missing a setting or dunno?
your section on ctrl+clicking to reset zones reminded me how fun and OP it was to farm mud flats(act6) during metamorph. i wish they made it core. :( also, your section on increased vs more, its not actually a more multiplier but a debuff on enemies that is almost always better than just an increase in damage so it functions more similarly to a more multiplier. champion ascendancy has it, yoke of suffering has it, a bunch of sources actually have this wording.
Got the X-mouse program, but for what ever reason the tab list is still being scrolled through when trying to transfer currency. It works as left-click for everything else. Only seems to happen when i press ctrl to make the quick transfer. Anyone got any idea what I am missing?
@@Empyriangaming I do not have Awakened POE but I checked the programs I do have and POE Overlay i have installed had similar function to A POE. I disabled the scroll function in it and everything worked as expected. Thank you for the info.
boom, there you go. Played for 10-+ years on and off and there are still some tips I didnt knew. (the - one on poe trade for example). Awesome! thanks for the tips.
Played this game for years now and have never managed to get much past the story content. The game is not at all intuitive and I feel it's aimed at hardcore gamers, not solo casual players. That being said I've still managed to get entertainment from it. For a free game, it simply can't be beat. They patch all the time and are always coming up with new content. Better than Craptivision/Blizzard by a long shot. Thanks for the tips, some of these are actually pretty useful. Cheers.

Thanks for the text! What do you mean by "only use on mice with LOCKED scroll wheels"?
@@Max-qd2lf Some mice have scroll wheels that continue to spin when you push them in a direction. That is "unlocked". Locked is a normal scroll wheel that stops when you take your finger of it.

I actually didnt knew the fossil one. where you can hold shift so the fossil goes in no matter what. thanks good sir!
@@axzantos4968 also thanks. But i wonder does this have to do with the fact that in poe with the shift you can't put 1 fossil down and hold ~19 and pick up the resonator. Does this work the same when you have 1 fossil and not a stack, just thinking :)
Couple more omegauseful tips that i haven't heared in like 4 years or so. Noone spreads this knowledge for some reason.
First one.
These's a site that calculates how many chromes you'd need to get your desired socket colors. Cant really remember the name but i google it with "vorici calc" whenever i need it. You gotta put your item' stats in the related boxes and it will tell you the cheapest way to color your items (for example if you should use chromatics on an item or just try 1g+1b workbench craft on your str boots).
Second one.
There's a way to make 4 off-colour sockets really cheap - "jeweller orb cloluring". It can take you like 100 jewellers instead of 500+ chromatics. All you gotta do is make your item 1 socket, throw couple chroms to get your first off-colour, then go to bench and make this item 2-socket. When you use this craft, the first one will be untouched. If you're lucky, second socket will be the right colour. If not - make the item 1s again and use the craft till you get it. The next step is... the same. You craft 3 sockets to get third off, if you're unlucky - craft 2 and then 3 again. Same goes for the last one. First 3 sockets are dirt cheap (1 jew for 2s craft and 3 jew for 3s), but the last one is 10 jew orbs. But if it will take you 10 4s crafts, this is still cheaper than hundreeds of chromas.
I have played this game for years, and didnt know of a couple. Like controll clicking items into their own tabs, and a couple other things. I have already favourited the video so I can watch it next time I play PoE and setup thing propperly ;)
Important note on binding orbs. DO NOT USE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP SOCKETS/LINKS. Binding orb change the sockets and links to 4. If you have a 6 linked item for example it will turn that into a 4 link.
Obviously...................
@@humudu Ah yes, Path of Exile, the game where obvious things are obvious.
@@humudu one would hope so, but I've seen it happen a bunch.
Found this one out the hard way
@@dagowow well it says it upgrades a normal item to rare with 4 linked sockets
A very good tip when crafting by "alt or chaos spam" is place the item on a tab, currency tab is even better, and then leave written in the search the required mod. So, lets say you want alt-spam a Thicket Bow to adquire "bow attacks fire 2 additional arrows". You should just write on search "additional arrows", for example, and then start to spam alts. The bow will became highlighted when you roll the mod. Of course you still should control yourself to not click pass the mod, but you save a lot of time reading the mods every time, specially when chaos/essence or other multi mods spams.
Genuine galaxy brain
That is such a good advice I always follow, but clicking through hundreds of alts still gets me sometimes because of repetitiveness, guess can't do anything about it.
Holy shit
how dare you make me look like a 1Head in front of all these people, genius
This is very good
Extra info on the 4:08 3 -to-one map recipe:
The "1-tier higher" map received is based on which map is based on the links.
If there are two "1-tier higher" map possible, you can change permutations of the 3 "lower tier" map you sell to switch between the two
example:
t12 pit is linked to t11 beach, t13 cemetery and t13 cells. You have 4 of t12 pit. pit#1-2-3 gives cemetary. pit #1-2-4 gives cemetary. pit #2-3-4 gives cells.
Yeah except it will somehow always only give the ones you dont need lol
Yes when early game (no watchstones).
When vendoring higher tier maps that are not that tier naturally due to watchstones, they won't give a +1 tier of the connected map.
Instead it will always give a random map that is a natural +1 tier map in the atlas tree (natural as in map tier without any watchstones equipped).
There's also another good tip : Bind all your auras in your 2nd hotkey slots so when you die you press ctrl 1 2 3 4 5... et boom auras are up in 2 seconds instead of rebinding them 1 by 1 in your first hotkey slots.
Sorry, but how to do that? Didn't find. Thanks.
@@trymusic4life hold control and just change em
Yep, this is nice, somehow i did this from the first time ive played poe 😂
Pro tips dont binds passive, you can active them in the select
when using the in-game search function you can use the | key (shift+backslash, above the enter key) as an "or" function and a comma to act as an "and" function.
life|energy will show things with life or energy
life, energy will show things with life and energy
Ty
That is a good one
Thing I learned somewhat recently. You can Ctrl + C on items you mouse over in game. It will copy the items description and you can paste these in path of building to check if thats an upgrade for example. Or in craft of exile, to try some crafting options as well. Maybe this will be usefull to someone ^^
you can do this with trade items too, there is a button to copy it, them as an example: copy a timeless jewel into your character pob and see the changes in the tree before you buy it
OMG I've been playing for 10 minutes and I didn't know any of these. Thanks, man!
Yo saameee 😂
Same
See what you started hehe
And that's how tutorials are made.
I been playing for about 50 hours and I knew like 20% of this
The most important third party tool is filterblade, to have a good item filter.
18:25 A small note about curse. An enemy can only be MARKed once, regardless solo or party play, and can't be increased by curse limit.
For example , If your curse limit is three, then you can hex enemy twice and mark once.
So marks count towards curse limit but you can only ever have one?
@@jessecraft1199 Sounds weird but yes
@@ywz4662 good to know, I intend to do bane for my league starter, you’ve probably saved me an annoyance
Thanks! I never watch ads so here is a tip. Great info
Thank you!
As a new player I realized that after finishing the story, and getting to epilogue, I was immediately, and completely, lost. I knew I could do the map machine, and that was literally it. :(
Which is anything you need to know.... you will automatically expeeience different leagues mechanics or have already experienced them in the storyline. So most important, try to run as many different maps as possible and "complete" them. White maps needs to be done while they are magic, yellow mals need to be rare and red maps need to be rare and corrupted
Also a helpful addition to the search tip, you don't have to click the search bar, ctrl + f will always focus onto the search bar in any menu and you can start typing
this was hands-down the most informative and enjoyable tips n tricks video i've ever watched
Another big tip for heist runners is you can exit and reenter the heist at any time before the alarm goes off to 'cleanse' any contraband you've picked up before the end case is cracked. This way you won't lose any exalts or currency you find on your journey to the end while trying to exit. You can also cursor over any of the doors in heist that rogues need to open and press V to open instead of clicking the little circle.
That genuinely sounds like an unintentional mechanic but thank you that would of saved me breaking a mouse one time 😂
Yup been using that trick for a while !!
I have too many hours(4000+) in POE I learned the Divine Vessel receive and the horizon orbs on shaper/guardian maps. Thanks a lot!
Kinda related, you can also use harbinger orbs on the guardian/elderslayer maps (keeps the encounter) if you want t16s but BEWARE because you can actually brick it into a beachhead lol
Playing since 2014, same ))
Now its dead as Divine will cost multiple exalts
Hey Empy, I haven't played POE for a few years now but just wanted to thank you for this video man - such a useful collection of tips and if I ever decided to come back this would be the first refresher course I would take for sure! As much as I played this game a few years back I still feel so out of the loop with the amount of stuff constantly added - a video like this can really help. Was also a bit of nostalgia for me :)
Why did you stop and what would change your mind about quitting?
As a new player i have had amazing experiences meeting ppl in the community. Everyone ive met has been super generous with their time and their resources. While i was learning about how the trading system works i definitely got scammed…but assumed it was my error. Thanks for that call out
About Heist trinket, there is two stats that work outside the Heists - one is chance to duplicate rogue markers dropped by monsters, and second is chance to duplicate markers from Smuggler's Cache.
EMPY you just made my day! The divine vessel recipe is MASSIVE for ssf! I went all the way to level 93 my first ssf character and never got a single vessel. I might actually go back to SSF because of this one freaking recipe.
You're the GOAT dude.
Glad it helped!
I have 1700 hours in poe but there were so many tricks i didnt know! Thanks a lot for the QoL!
I feel like many of those things are "Well they are in the game, but you dont know about that unless you explicitely look for them" like the crafting recipes or the "you gain an extra slot in map device if you do X" Stuff like that would help me motivate me for the game more, so having something like a greyed out slot thats teasing you like "i could be unlocked by doing X" This could make me strife towards something more andgive me a long term goal, and not quit like 1 meter before the finish line, because i didnt know there was one.
I mean yes, i could read up on those, but i want to be able to enjoy path of exile and not let it feel like work.
Also for those who didn't know. If you type /afk you can type anything after /afk to add a custom message. Like /afk Ill be back in 15 minutes. So when someone whispers you when you are afk they will see that you will be back in 15 minutes
Coming from a guy who just started 6 weeks ago, THANK YOU! This game is overwhelming for new players, and I am sure many people just quit. Really helpful information, thank you.
I would say that the cast on death portal can be a death trap for newcomers (And sometimes even experienced players). It's a quick way to get back on track but it can also put you back in a really bad situation. Sometimes you die because of a lost bullet, other times you may get overwhelmed and surrounded, and reappearing in the middle of a swarm can kill you multiple times in a row making you lose a good chunk of experience and time.
Everything else is amazing. I'm gonna have to burn that divine vessel recipe in my head, have always wondered why you get so few of them when they are so important!
brand new to POE here, deep diving the learning curve, saw this video. Great content, thanks! When you play deep-mechanic-based games, tips/tricks like these are a major part of evening out the play-experience, and imperitive to have!
LOL though- you know the game is deep when you downloading and spend 6 hours watching various videos in reference to the game, 'to get the smoothest start plssible'. The best games are all like this, which is why I am still researching/watching/learning, and taking mental notes of what to go rewatch and when. Simply put the game is worth the investment of time at this point and I would even argue part of the fun for a game like this, as an intellectual-deep thinker, is the learning various aspects of it. Many folks just want instant everything, and then end up passing on learning curves, and then do not truly enjoy the experience of the game in full. Assuredly not a game for everyone, but so far it seems as an ARPG/Diablo/looter shooter/tactical play style gamer, these videos are already hitting the spot! (Ironically more shallow games do not hit the same notes when you do/get something right, and are not as fun as a game that requires a non stop deep dive/continual learning curve).
I suppose it is like a symphony: some folks just prefer the bass of drums (amd enjoy that deep note), and some folks just enjoy an alto sax (and mayyybe but not a given: get into jazz). For those folks, a game like Diablo or CoD is right at home for them...
Then there are those of us who like a full on symphony, and that is where deep mechanics games come into play, like POE for example. (And to those of us like that out here, videos like this are just part of the symphonic experience- like reading the music). Sure, you could enjoy a symphony without, but with? That is where it all comes together when gameplay is flowing forward, and you truly aporeciate the IP (heavy focus on the I part) of a game like POE.
Sadly, it is now 2022 before I gave this game a chance and am as semi embaressed as a symphonic based hobbyist who just discovered Bach!
None the less this video is coontributing, and will make my firat few hours in game a Moonlight Sonata, vs. say, a trap house song. Both have their places, but assuredly they do not hit the same notes.
So with that said, I hope the depth of my thank you is a bit further expressed as a new POE player. I hooe there are many other videos like this on your channel, as I am atepping away from (yet again) Warframe for a break, had a Diablo itch but was bored with what that game is. Hopefully I will truly enjoy the POE experience!
Another hour or so of videos as I await dinner cooking, then eagerly firing up POE. This video is ranked as a 'first hour in game' reference point at the moment.
I can only hope I enjoy Necro here as much as, if not more than, my Diablo 3 Necro. (Who will be eagerly waiting for my return if I need a dumb-dumb break, LOL)!
poe is for the true swamp brain gamers
To add on to the trade thing, you can use the ~ to specify enchant,implicit, etc. ex: "~implicit area of effect" to search for aoe as an implicit
Straightforward video. Very well done. This is my first league and it is all very overwhelming. These tips are very helpful!
25:30 there is also a mod for x% chance of rogue stashes to duplicate. its a fairly high % actually and is really good money. i always use one that has both, worth it by a lot
Trading tip: buy consumables in bulk(like scarabs) that worth more than 1c thorough regular trade window and not a bulk search one. You can specify minimum stock through a "stack size" settings under Misc spoiler. It's extremely helpful because you can sort items not just by price, but also time, and you like never gonna buy Ex within first 3-5 bulk search traders, but you would like 100% buy from somebody who was placed on a market just a 5 seconds ago. You can do live searches for bulks this way too.
You just need to look for prices to not be that much expenisve than a regular market value, but time is also the money, and actually I almost always can find items at the minimum market prices and have them sold to me instantly because they are recent and not much people are looking at them.
Being in Act 8 (farthest ever) and a nooblet visiting this video, there are certainly some great tips even though one can feel a little lost when visiting the deep-end of the content... a what map? it has it's own passives.. wha...? Still great editing and helpful content. Subscribed.
Hope you try out the new league. All it takes is one playthru to the endgame maps and many map bosses to fall in love with the game.
The acts/campaign is honestly tedious to get through. But it's worth it once you get to maps.
Lol, same. I recognize the importance of this information, but I'm at the end of act 4 and some of this started sounding like another language 😅
Do you need help buddy?
What an incredible imparting of tips and hints to improve the PoE QoL and interface life. Took me literally days to get through and implement some of them. Thanks !
Been playing for close to 100 hrs and i didnt know more than half of this vid.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge man, poe community is filled with very bright content creators/ players that care alot about detail.
Omg the chat rewhisper thing just saved my life!!! Thank you 😊
@31:35 you clicked something, I think was Cntrl/D for trade pricing thing. What is the name of this program that needs to be downloaded? I am sure I probably found a good item but just vendor-ed it because it was not something I could use.
I will be referencing this video many times for next season. Thank you.
Being new as of season 3:18 the 3 items which jumped out most to me are:
1. The program I asked for above. Just need name or website to get it.
2. The trinket slot. Always wondered how to get it.
3. How people had 5 slots instead of 4 in map device.
1. Awakened Trade
2. Run a heist blueprint (trinket type)
3. Put in 4 different eternal emblem of legion fragment (except Maraketh, as it's most expensive), enter the portal and survive.
I am a casual player of Poe and I can say I didnt knew must of this information. So I can't wait to try all this out. Thank you for your video. Keep up the good work 👏
You can also use affinity for other stashes like expedition and heist by clicking the affinity button on those stashes. When you're in your regular stash, those items will go to the other stashes. Saves running around and putting those items into those separate stashes.
Jesus, even knowing half of the tips it's super helpful. Huge thanks, mate!
show this video to your friend who is new to poe, im starting 3rd league and this helped me a lot. mad respect empyrian for the information you provide
Poe Overlay is the best tool for making you currency in poe, the reason for this is time saved. When you are in game you can open the overlay trade window which opens that trade on left 30% of screen. This includes the fuzzy search as default, lets say you want to find a sextant for mapping just type in master (then pick alva) this is much faster than trade. Next you can save the search you just made to favorites which is ready for you next time. Further more it has live search function which is just like official site you just need to save the searches to favorites then activate them on live search, during mapping you get the popup and sound for live search, you can hotkey anything on keyboard to auto pm that person in game. What many people don't know about poe overlay is if you are buying from players and visit the hideout, sometimes they take 5-10seconds to trade you. You can just open overlay keeping your attention in game and continue to search other players sending them pm's and you never miss a trade as the popup is bottom right. You can even accept the trade with overlay open. This means you can watch Empyrian on full screen on the 2nd screen as you trade plebs that take to long :)
10:50 most important tip about resonators: if you have filled resonators of same type you can spam them on item like any other spamable currency. Don't need to click reso-click item cycle.
Also for +5 slot Oshabi, its sharable but make sure everyone is inside before clicking oshabi, it gives completion of kill for challenges but do not give +5 slot if you are not inside when fight starts.
Want to add them too,
You don't need to complete trials for uber lab anymore.
Cannot roll attack/caster crafts save your attack/caster mods from orb of annulment.
Thank you for the tip
Been playing for years and this was actually very helpful. Thank you. The cast on death is just brilliant. I feel like a knob for not knowing that already.
About the search feature - it has some limitations that make very little sense:) When you search for complex things, and sometimes even using regular expressions, you may run out of search string length. Now the fun part, in most windows, including stash tab, npc trade / gamble windows etc the limit is 50. However for some weird reason, in your passive tree its 100, and I still have no idea why its not 100 in other places then:)
A note on horizon orbing maps, a good way to tell what's a "natural" map of its tier is to remove all of your watch stones by ctrl clicking them off your Atlas and looking at them that way
Never knew about the save hideout or the shared lab/bench .. I have lost items forgetting them in harvest though, like flasks. This vid must be gold for new players! Knowledge is power in this game more than any I know. Very nice work Empyrian. Your friendly neighbourhood billionaire.
Been restarting to play POE after 8years, this content is golden. Thanks for all the info !
Tyvm for the 400 tips. I learned all 401 of em! xD very useful.
Holy heck!! I started playing poe this week and this is insanely helpful, tysm!! I'm blown away buy how much you can do in this game and how it all comes together in the end
Loved this. I've waded into the POE world and I'm lost trying to figure things out. This vid certainly helps.
maaaan that cast on death portal is AMAZING!
Man ... I play this game for more than 6 leagues, but 20% of this content was new to me. Ty very much
Sometimes watching videos like this scares me away from the game, because you realise just how much insane content there is available and how far behind you are in terms of basic knowledge
11/10. 500+ hours and still just learned so much! Thank youuuuuuuu
Only started playing a week ago. This has been really helpful. Thank you!
Ability to change ascendancy without creating new character is a big game changer, even though it cost a bit...
Run normal lab, unspec every ascendancy notable and then you get option to pick your ascendancy again at the end of the lab.
How much does it cost to respec all 4 points for new ascendancy?
What if I need to change only 1 point - also run normal labyrinth? Thanks.
@@trymusic4life One point cost like 5 regrets orbs, multiply it for how many points you want to respec.
If you need to respec one point then you don't need to run lab, only if you want to change ascendancy.
24:25 mortal and other fragments (shaper elder) give 10% quant :D
As a playstation to PC convert the second tip was actually huge and explains some issues I had
Edit: omfg that 6 link was great.
Tip #41, Join a group of aurabots that feed you currency and then ignore the inventory management and vendor recipe section and dump all your loot you find onto a seller that does everything for you while you generate currency in a full party.
What a great video. Even after 10 years of PoE I learned a few new tricks, which doesnt even surprise me. There is always something new to find out in this game.
I wish you will make a similar video with advanced tipps and tricks someday. That would be awesome.
Oh my god dude. "Always attack without moving." You just explained like 20 times I died when my character didn't dash the way they were supposed to. Thank you very, very much.
dont do this with dash, things get pretty strange with this interaction xD
How do you do the fast ctrl clicking from inv. to stash like at: 10:10? Some AHK spam click type of thing? Edit - saw you talk about it at the end - x-mouse button control, thanks!
5:47 for some reason ctrl click isnt working for me, I tried ctrl left and right click doesnt seem to work.
Literally just quit Diablo after 20 years for this game and This video is boss mode!. Thanks man, I appreciate your time and work.
Watched til the very end. No new info for me, but you simply can't miss this kind of video from Empyrian.
Important note on Divine Vessels - you can now right click them instead of turning them in to Sin. (You can still turn them in if you prefer)
You can also use a regular expression (Regex) in the shops search to quickly find/highlight items with sockets you need.
Great video. There were 2 things I did not know. First one skill point allocation/deallocation with ctrl click and second one this godly tool for left click scrolling :) Thx!
9:08 holy shit the save hideout thing I did not know
The divine vessel recipe proved to be very useful. Couldn't decide what to do with my divines for a long time!~
Nice video new players like me would sure appreciate, i'll just add one more tips: Disable ScreenShake !!
For context, usually play minion then flickerStrick (mostly Fire Scion) but this league i've trust a friend and gone for a spicy one: The Lightning intel stacker,
Long story short thing was running nice and smooth then i started to get my crit up and oooh man i wasn't ready for what was about too happen, i'll start flicking and my ping would go to the roof !(Like 6900ms)
I'll troubleshoot with my friend but nothing UNTIL an other friend told me to "Check the screenshake, that shit hate flicker" and HE WAS RIGHT !
Tip for older gamers, wrist injured, etc. Controller support has been added and it's really quite good. Saves a lot of repetitive strain.
This is an excellent list of tips. Not all things I personally want to do but all good information for everyone in general. Love it 💕
i love obscure mechanics, you can use haku's quality craft on weapoon swap to increase xp gain of exceptional gems. another gear swap mechanic, as long as socket colours, links and number are the same, when swapping gear their auras will remain active, same applies to weapons if you somehow utilize proper weapon swap playstyle.
Also weapon swaping in town will not turn off your auras.
Thank for the very informative video. Starting Poe again after like 2 years. So many changes.
The most important one i got was X-mouse button control. This tip is a god send. Thank you.
Great video thanks, i already knew most because i go through all the settings day 1. But a few handy new ones like /passives
It was of little use to me, but if I had seen this video about 6 years ago it would have changed my gameplay completely. At least I can recommend it to newbies friends. Thaks for the hard work!
OMG.. I played for over 1000hs and didn´t know nearly any of the Vendor recipes... Thank you so much :-*
Wow, didnt expect to learn some new stuff after playing 5 years in this game) TY for this video =)
OMG, I played this game for 2 years, half of the tips I didn't know....thank you so much!
you already got my attention at #2 - really good video and advices !
knew a lot of these but the horizon orbing guardian maps is a huge game changer for someone who likes to boss, can't believe I didn't know this, Thanks!
Okay cast on death+tp was a real surprise for me)) thank you!
Amazing video, thanks for the help. I knew some of these, but not all of them! Thanks EMPYRIAN
I've started playing POE again after completing the campaign years ago ( I can't remember much about the game), because I've gotten board of Diablo 4.
And already, 10 minutes into this video I can see why POE is 100x better than Diablo 4! So much accessibility and control for the User!
Great guide on QOL tips!! Thank you
That trade searching shortcut is godly for me.
I've played like 1,5k hours of Poe and this video probably saved me like three hours of clicking in the next league
any setup trick to the xmousebutton im missing... got it working setting up+down to left click but my scroller is fairly "heavy" so it still felt really shit and slow... so either missing a setting or dunno?
your section on ctrl+clicking to reset zones reminded me how fun and OP it was to farm mud flats(act6) during metamorph. i wish they made it core. :( also, your section on increased vs more, its not actually a more multiplier but a debuff on enemies that is almost always better than just an increase in damage so it functions more similarly to a more multiplier. champion ascendancy has it, yoke of suffering has it, a bunch of sources actually have this wording.
That ~ tip for trading is a game changer...Thanks!!!
I got new value from your first 2 tips, and I have watched a couple of other tips videos :-)
Not always commenting, but you really saved my ass from the passive points, I was missing 3 sidequest points, thanks very much my guy!
Really great video Empy! Thx for all the nice tips! Didnt knew some of them, really helpful!
Got the X-mouse program, but for what ever reason the tab list is still being scrolled through when trying to transfer currency.
It works as left-click for everything else. Only seems to happen when i press ctrl to make the quick transfer.
Anyone got any idea what I am missing?
Awakened Poe trade settings. Untick ctrl stashtab scrolling.
@@Empyriangaming I do not have Awakened POE but I checked the programs I do have and POE Overlay i have installed had similar function to A POE. I disabled the scroll function in it and everything worked as expected.
Thank you for the info.
The oil recipe!! How did I not know that one. Time to start looking them again
boom, there you go. Played for 10-+ years on and off and there are still some tips I didnt knew. (the - one on poe trade for example). Awesome! thanks for the tips.
Thanks Captain! Didnt know you could change bandit rewards. Very cool
Not ashamed at all to say that I have played 3,500 hours plus...and learned some stuff for sure! Thanks so much
Played this game for years now and have never managed to get much past the story content. The game is not at all intuitive and I feel it's aimed at hardcore gamers, not solo casual players. That being said I've still managed to get entertainment from it. For a free game, it simply can't be beat. They patch all the time and are always coming up with new content. Better than Craptivision/Blizzard by a long shot. Thanks for the tips, some of these are actually pretty useful. Cheers.
