love the video. As a newbie myself to POE2, "just play the game" is the perfect advice.

[@ChickenKing420]

Thank you! I will follow you now because of the beginning and end of this video, because you highlighted that we would enjoy games much more by simply playing them instead of rushing to the end with compressed information and builds from all kinds of platforms. I completely agree, and it took me many years to understand this. I was always focused on being the best and the fastest, only to realize that once I reached the end of a game, there was nothing left to explore-so I moved on. Every time. If you’re reading this and feel the same way, let me share something with you: only consume information about your favorite game from different sources if you truly need to, and avoid “build guides,” “how-to’s,” and “don’t-miss” lists. Thank you for your time.

[@Taooflu]

Agreed. The min / max thing is personally not healthy - I do like some research to understand mechanics but what’s the point of making the game too easy with some OP build! My second play through of baldur’s gate 3 for example I took my time and it was enjoyable. I still haven’t finished haha

[@kudbettinkohen1935]

In a game like Elden Ring. I totally agree. For POE, the decisions are so harsh that I feel like you have to. What if you don’t like how your ascension plays endgame? Just make a new character?

[@ChickenKing420]

@@kudbettinkohen1935 true, but lets see what future brings .. maybe itll get beginner friendlier

[@shroomer3867]

@@Taooflu Min / maxing is fun as long as it's something you do and not something a guide told you to do. Sure the build will not be as optimal as possible if you aren't a genius at figuring mechanics out, but hey, you're the one making it and trying to min/max it.

[@UnknownDigital0]

[@Ohanrahan]

The funny thing is (almost) never trust people trying to buy/sell things off you in PoE2 itself. I have seen people try and buy Divine`s for below 30Ex, and people trying to sell off their mediocre rares for double the price its worth when just using the trade site. People are just very scummy on PoE2 itself. Worst case scenario and you dont trust what its worth? Look up the currency or item/mods on the site, type in the mods you are looking for/selling and if on average they are like 5ex or w/e then thats the price you should be going with. PS : Dont just look at the first few items being listed, these are most likely people trying to price gauge items or lower them for their own gains. Like i said people can be scummy and will fight over literally breadcrumbs to gain a slight advantage on things.

[@hdgdhnxbdx1619]

But it's an open market. Also different game so how donu know what's worth or not . Stop talking like it

My guy the game has been out for a week. There’s no way the economy is settled yet. And it’s a mutual trade. That’s the beauty of freedom.

[@Ohanrahan]

@@KZbinDictatorship2024 There is no ``mutual`` trade when one party is getting scammed over for 10-20Ex. That is called a scam and being a scumbag. Nothing else. All im trying to say is : Dont be an asshat trying to take advantage of newer people. it doesnt benefit anyone if you make new people quit or make them feel bad. Not in the real world should this be rewarded, and also not in PoE2. That is all.

Nice also for sorcerers cast speed should be just under spell level. We can get damage from many sources. Spell level (a must), cast speed (very desirable), %element, spell damage, gain % as same element, and if you get an add on like shock chance or freeze…oh man. I like element over spell damage but spell damage sells just as well. This way the bonus ticks on dots etc vs just spell cast hits

Just saying, but crit chance and crit damage are incredibly strong as they increase your BASE crit chance/damage values. Of course, no reason to have crit if your prefixes are crap but depending on your build it might be vital, for example crit chance on Crossbows if you're building for crit.

[@RC_Trailblazers]

I found a bow at level 52 it's for level like 47 or 48. +132% physical damage, +68% elemental damage. Both T5 rolls +2 physical damage runes. My Ranger hits hard AF!

[@irishxinfection560]

I might have missed it, what did the purple and green stand for?

[@jc008titan]

as an under average poe player(350h in poe 160h in poe2), i can estimate values myself. i know what stuff it's worth it, i know when i literally rip people off by buying their listed items. i even built 1/3 of the build I use. It's uber capable!(oneshot bosses) and also very fast clears. But somehow the items i use on my build were literally cheap af! no clue why tho. I bought most of my build with under 30ex/piece, but was able to sell the same items i used for 1-2divs after adding quality and iron runes to them. +skill level isn't that important without damage. i compared by bow with 160 lightning and 150 phys dmg with 85% elemental damage with a bow with half the flats, but +3 lvl to projectile skills, it was way worse! -1.5k dps. but i knew how to use the trade site from the beginning, so after gathering some exalts until act 2 i was able to buy items which carried me trough acts by oneshotting every mob and boss haha. I started to die a bit too much at T10+ maps, and that's where i got my current build. I've just killed Djinn Barya 4th floor boss(sanctum for 4th ascendancy)! I deleted his hp bar at his every stage! But sadly my luck is trash. I didn't drop a div or something better in the past 40 hours of playtime, which made me rely on trade sells for currency.

[@Woolie]

the name = the "base" of the item and what determines its implicit values (i.e: armor/evasion/energy shield value or physical damage on weapons.) you're basically looking for the word "expert" in front of everything for the highest tier - if you're ever confused, just look at the "level requirement" of the item (next to its stat reqs)
