On the part about rolling socket colours - if someone wants to craft item they should roll reduced stat requirements on item and then hit it whit chromes. That way you increase chance to roll offcolour sockects. Its a bit advanced tip, but it something that actually works

[@ruibarian5187]

#94, color your sockets before doing your quality. Quality increases the likelihood that items innately have, so no quality items will be more likely to hit off colors.

[@Sam_1205]

Another useful tip, maybe already mentioned. With the affinities and storage tabs in general. You can set up everything you want on standard before a new league and when you start a new league all those settings will be saved and carried over as to not have to set them everytime.

[@zodiacr]

A behemot of a video, must've been very fun to create. Well done, thanks Pal!

For what it's worth, vendors only refresh every 3-4 levels now, so you don't need to check on every level up.

[@Palsteron]

TRUE, #16 is outdated

[@kiki-wc1oj]

when did this happen and how does it work :D

[@Sidnv]

@@kiki-wc1oj Last league I think. Vendors will just keep their inventories static for more than 1 level now. Just check them every 3-4 levels, I'm not actually 100% sure when they refresh.

[@nicrozevil1966]

[@steel5897]

#1 The literal opposite happened to me. I followed a build guide my first time because that's what everyone told me to do (it was a toxic rain build), but I did not enjoy the game. I was getting far, I got into yellow maps effortlessly, but I did not understand the intricacies of how the game works or why my build was effective, my brain was just doing what the build told me to do without putting a second thought into it, after all, it was working, why question it? But what use is the boundless complexity and the sandbox of different systems in this game if I'm not going to mentally engage with any of it? I felt no reward, no accomplishment, no sense of engagement with the game. Later on, a year later, I tried playing on my own, and instead of following a build guide, I learned Path of Building, and later on learned to filter characters in PoE Ninja to get an idea of how other players were playing the stuff I *chose* to use. That was a mind blowing experience, and immensely more rewarding. That is when I fell in love with the game, and could see the complexity as a boon rather than a hostile obstacle to overcome. PoB taught me the mechanics of the game, taught me how different things interacted with each other, and PoE Ninja pointed me in the right path when I had doubts on where I should take my character. My first couple of characters were not that great, but they were functional, I got into red maps, I had IMMENSE fun with the game, and pretty much half of that time was spent outside it, theorycrafting things in PoB, which was fun in and on itself. AFTER going through those first few characters, something interesting happened. I looked at build guides and I started *understanding* them, beyond a template to copy. I then started using build guides and enjoying the game even more. Like I said, the opposite, the complete other way around. I had to learn the game *before* I got enjoyment out of using build guides. I realize I'm not "most people", I realize most people want results first, and worry about the process later, because today's world is all about efficiency and minmaxing your time. But I thought I'd post it to show that this is not a 100% rule, I'm certain there are others who would much rather find reward and satisfaction in learning the game from the ground up (PoB, wiki, poe ninja, lots of research, lots of trial and error) BEFORE they succeed at it, even if that means bricking a few characters and starting over, but with newfound knowledge that will get you further and further each time. If that process sounds frustrating to you, follow a build guide, but if it sounds fun, give it a second thought. I also think if you are like me and enjoy theorycrafting and learning mechanics and game systems, this game will be one of the best you'll ever play.

[@steel5897]

#2 I'd consider SSF way before anyone considers HC. SSF is amazing to learn the game, but it will, just like my method above, slow down the process too. SSF will just force you to engage with game systems that you'd be able to ignore in trade, including multiple league mechanics. So maybe start in SC but "graduate" to SSF instead of HC if you want to move on from SC. SSF is a real game changer, while HC is just asking to have your time wasted for no gain.

[@Venvaneless]

Same. Everyone wants to get there fast. I don’t want to and won’t follow a guide my first time, I want to see what I did wrong and what I got right and I promised myself I’m not gonna give up just because of the skill tree. Be simply aware that your first time(s) won’t be that great and be patient. I want to learn on my pace instead of being locked into something. I want to understand the mechanics, paths and nodes I take, without mindlessly following a guide like a grad schooler. I‘m happy that someone is the same way! Btw. Want to explore together?

[@asdfasdf-mn8iu]

@@steel5897 Yeah, i usually recommend new players to ignore most systems except the core game (like alva, niko etc.) and just play the game however they like to play, explore it and enjoy it. Not only is the game pretty cool at the start imo but the only downside to that is reading through the description of 8 skill gems that are each 40 lines long and mention stuff one does not know sadly. Also, new players without stash tabs bought are SSF by default, because they cannot trade :D

Poe is amazingly complex. Despite being a beta veteran with over 15k hours played, today i learned that rogue trinkets can have incubators and can work for mapping.

I hope you one day make a dedicated list of advanced tips focused on the most obscure aspects of the game.

#16 with the vendor stuff, there were a change where after level up only 25% items are replaced

[@flexfit21]

Palsteron! Amazing video bro, you answered so many questions and many ah-ha moments throughout. Your TR Path Ballista build guide was the very first POE video I watched almost 3 months ago. I remember about 6 minutes in you lost me with all the terminology and stuff I'd never heard of. 100 hours of /played later and I have watched that video at least 4-5 times. Even with this one I was able to follow you for most of it. Lost me a little with the divergent/anomalous gem stuff. I guess I'm just saying thank you for the content and how awesome POE is in that you learn over time. It's like speaking a new language. Keep doing your thing!

[@Wubby-y8z]

[@hyzent]

2 Tips That I may add specially for experienced players: - You can buy items with " + level of all ...gems" from NPC even in act 1 for just 1 transmute, Might not be for speed runners but it gives a lot of power boost for spell casters. You can search in NPC trade "level of all" then it will highlight the item| side note both Wand seller NPC and Weapon Seller NPC sells items with this mod (Nessa & Tarkleigh in act 1) - In addition to tip 90 - You can Copy an item from trade to check power boost on your character by pressing the + icon on lower left when hovering on the image on trade.

[@NonnyStrikes]

I spent about 50-60 hours playing month or two after initial release and got hooked into playing HC with friends on Diablo 2. Kinda regret it, but also not because good friends are hard to come by Amir? However, that time away, playing game styles I've never played before like Heroes of the Storm and WoW, really improved my kiting ability and map awareness. Now that I have more tools/ideas in the box, this game is, well...a wet dream for those that want replayability and variety. I know you know this....because this kind of content takes thousands of hours of gameplay. I truly appreciate the efficiency.

[@Baelfyr]

Number 16 was also changed in crucial league, vendors no longer reset on level up, they will persist for a few levels now. Items now persist in a Vendors' shops for multiple levels, so that you have a chance to buy them before they vanish. Each time you level up, the oldest items are removed and some new ones are added. You can also now rarely find Rare items at Vendors.

[@squirebalo9357]

Lilly in your hideout also lets you trade in divination cards nowadays. I like to use the second/third ability bar (ctrl/alt) with vaals skills. Having one skill at one key and pressing the same keey + str for the vaal version helps easing my mind a little.

[@mateuszbortkiewicz5362]

Damn how i wish this video existed when i began my adventure with POE...

[@benegesserit9838]

so trueeee

[@Demha96]

small nitpick, for the chaos recipe only one of the items has to be in the chaos recipe item level range, the other ones can be even higher ilvl but not lower. this is good to know because higher ilvl items turn into a regal orb recipe but you also dont want to farm white maps all day just for the chaos recipe so just do higher lvl maps and keep a few lower ilvl pieces around.

[@BuzzaB77]

If I may add one, There is a blight exploit which trivializes the mechanic. A Lvl 3 seismic in the circle of a LvL 3 empower (no higher) will perma stun all non immune enemies, then you can forget that direction them until the end.

to add on with tip 94 if you have a ton of jewelers and not that many chroms an easier method might be to jeveler it to 1 socket, make that red then craft on 1 and 1 socket with the bench until you have 4

[@evilgibson]

37:11 concerning #95 about buying things and no one responding: recently works but what I found to really increase my chances is look for anyone NOT from the US/UK. The other countries are more likely to be bots or playing in PC bangs.

[@Rogerztheurbanlegend]

"Unless you want to wear glasses when you're 40". Man, you really had to kick me while down. 42, played 11k hours on this, and I just got my first prescription, lol. Also, about 41, one thing that people don't look at is 'you cannot take reflected damage' sextants, which rolls quite a lot. I agree, try not to do reflect maps, but for something like SSF, and you corrupt a map to get completion and it rerolls to reflect, there are options for that.

Regarding the Kirac Missions: The maps that Kirac sells reset every time you do a Kirac Mission, so you can use Kirac Missions to support your Atlas progression.

About number 41 with the Reflection mods on maps, if you play Slayer or Elementalist you will have the choice in your Ascendancy to skill full reflect immunity for either Elemental or physical reflect immunity (Slayer can give himself Phys ref. immunity and Elementalist Elemental ref. immunity) that can make mapping at the start MUCH MORE relaxing because you dont need to watch the map mods that hard again, note though that if you play a slayer that goes for elemental damage you can still one shot yourself with elemental reflect.

[@wpoitras]

A player using a physical damage build can be immune to elemental reflect by using a Brutality Support where you deal no elemental damage.

Solid format. Where was this two years ago xd

[@knaz7468]

I've been playing a long time and I actually didn't know a couple of these!

[@renediffie]

I had no idea about ctrl+clicking vendors. Watching the video was worth it for that alone. One tip I would like to add is for Exiles that feel a lot of strain on their mouse hand. Put your main skill on your keyboard instead of rightclick. At first this might seem almost like blasphemy but if you are struggling with pains in your mousehand I highly suggest trying this out. It's going to feel weird for one session and after that it will be second nature. Putting my main skill on spacebar have been a gamechanger for me.

Tip 41 can be neglected if you run a DoT only build such as Righteous Fire. Reflect only procs on Hits, no DoTs. not sure about AoE Damage though

[@lilinezu8368]

Watching this with 100hrs of poe experience is blowing my mind

[@JoseOrtiz-bx3vl]

Very thorough. Excellent stuff @Palsteron.

[@paradcxgreen1167]

several things still didn't know after years, tab affinity thing been wondering for forever.

[@Deluxo]

This guide helped me out a ton, thanks man!

[@Olson34]

Thank you for 39. I was trying to figure out something for my red green color blindness

[@mareklos2879]

Great video and tips! Also really well timed before the league start and when new players are joining

[@overshare7]

7 in 103 after 5 years of gaming :/ GG great video

[@Saki630]

#94 cant you also craft INT/STR/DEX on the item to increase the chance to get that color?

[@techymarky]

I've been playing for a week now! Exactly the same day this was uploaded and I've only seen this now. :(

[@pwnskies]

Damn you even had a secret tip in there, I had no idea you could make the message a whisper after you've already typed it out.

[@Shanopla]

I would only suggest one difference in these amazing tips. I started on HC, and yes it was meaningful to die, but man. It hooked me. 2013 though. POE was in a different place.

[@aram69420]

I still do the first tip until this day. I have zero time to spend theory crafting or learning stuffs about the end-endgame or the item craft stuff. So I still play on softcore trade league for like 1 patch per year (whenever I'm free to play the game)

[@asfsdafdsgasgadfgg]

Using your crafting bench as soon as possible can actually screw you severely because it can increase the level requirement beyond your level and brick you if you don't have the currency to remove the crafted mod

[@Cracks094]

While i understand the notion that new players should follow a build guide, there are also people like myself who embrace the challenge of learning on your own. I had to make 3 characters before being able to finish Acts for the first time and i had an absolute blast doing so. Instead of telling everyone outright that you *need* a build guide to enjoy the game, rather tell them that if they want to go the path of learning by themselves, they should be prepared to start over a couple of times with newly aquired knowledge. Following a build guide is easier, yes, but it's fully possible (and even fun for some) to do it yourself - if you have the patience for it.

[@HG-ze5wq]

Patience is key if you wanna learn by yourself--absolutely. I think he recommends a build guide because many new players get frustrated with the game and quit before even finishing the campaign, and encouraging people to run blind would only exacerbate that. If you're the kind of person who is willing to take on the challenge of learning this deep of a game blind then you probably already know that. If you're on the fence you probably need to hear someone tell you to use a guide.

[@greglyhoblit]

It my first time playing, my friend insists on playing hard-core so I've restarted about 5 times already with different classes but I've landed on witch summoner and it feels pretty good, I've been looking up little tips but mostly making my own variation of the build it's been fun

[@JayM928]

Counter-point: If you embrace learning on your own and prefer that, why would you be watching a play tips video? I think the advice makes sense for the audience.

[@Cracks094]

​@@JayM928 My point was specifically about the notion of "Follow a Build Guide" - which most of the time don't really explain certain underlying mechanical interactions unless revolving about something very specific. The vast majority of build guides do not explain mechanics and basics about the game to you. They don't need you to understand how things interact with each other (unless using some unique mechanic) - just what exactly you have to get and build for things "to work". Unless you want to have a myriad of possibly wrong half-knowledge about everything, you have to get your information from somewhere. Telling every new player to "Follow a Guide" is like presenting the solution to a puzzle, without ever answering 'why' things work the way they do.

[@Kamelosk]

Thanks for the balls in chat tip, the only one i didnt actually knew

[@sparriz]

I remember the basics was easy to pick up when starting the game and for the most of the rest a basic understanding was enough to get by (ie. More is better than increased). No "build" I had from that time did endgame comfortably however and I personaly like the challange but most wont and unless you want to learn the hard way a guide or at least a well made pob is a good thing.
