Trading Tips & Tricks For Path of Exile 2

[@EaglemanF3OX]

Hey Raxx, I watch your stream a lot and notice you often click on a vender and then select the option to disenchant or to identify items. If you CTRL+left click on those NPCs it'll automatically select that action. i.e., if you CTRL+left click Doryani, it'll automatically identify all the items in your inventory. Quick and easy.

[@b4rt3c86]

Thank you!

[@jakemantle6718]

no way! nice tip

[@Aldilus]

Oh my god thank you!

[@BigBadBanana89]

ALT + left click will also select the second option, so you can automatically pull up the magic vendor's inventory, for example.

When searching for an armour piece and you dont want Armour on it you can set the max to 1 and you will not find any with Armour same with evasion and es

[@resolveyeetlord8340]

bro spittin

[@GrotesqueSmurf]

I set the max to 0 but same thing :D

[@James-m1u7z]

That's super helpful! Thanks!

Can also put 1 in the minimum of ES/Evasion depending on what you want

When you message 100+ people trying to get a piece of gear and you get 0 responses does it really matter?

[@Amatsuichi]

exactly my experience... I gave up on trading entirely

[@Xenamos]

This has never happened for me and I trade every day. You're just trying to buy some clear fake items for 1ex that are alot better than their pricing

[@TdonC]

That's usually because they are price fixers trying to make other people devalue their items so they can buy them cheap and mark them up and sell them on again. It's a whole thing, so if you see something for 1ex that looks godly it's either a price fixer who has no intention to sell it which is why you get ignored or somebody dropped it in the wrong tab in their stash that automatically puts everything at 1ex.

[@Dino55316]

Yup... I just smash every whisper link on the site at a particular price and hope one of them isn't a foreign bot. 10% of the time it works every time.

[@TheRithianyawgmoth]

The weighted sum explaination was worth its weight in gold

[@BruceWayne-19]

i don't get one thing: why not implement this search in game with a nice price checker? That way you don't have a disadvantage versus those that use a 3rd party price checking app. Also, if i set the exact price for an item, why do i need to lose time and manually trade it? It would be easier if it automatically gets traded as soon as someone buys it

[@MadsFeierskov]

In case it wasn't clear from the video: The reason you might want to put attack speed or crit chance in the equipment filters, is that the bonus might come from an implicit stat on the gear and that's more work to actually search for with the filters, because you'd have to search for both and put them in an "or" group. Another tip for the equipment filters is that you can put a max value of 0, if for example you don't want an armor roll, but you don't really care if the item has evasion, energy shield or a hybrid of both. You might also add something like a life filter if you're playing CI and you don't want to have a dead stat of life on your gear. To do that you choose the stat group "not" and add life.

[@whysoslow1999]

Attack speed is calculated into DPS so you don't want to search for it especially since it doesnt help you one shot packs (though technically attack speed gives you slightly less move speed penalty while using non-melee weapons) +bow skills doesnt increase the DPS number though so you'd search for +1 arrow, >+4 projectile skills, (possibly cold damage if you need help with freezing though this narrows your search a lot which is bad), then sort by DPS

[@GrotesqueSmurf]

+projectile skills could also really hurt your build if you don't have enough mana reg. Had a "+6 to all melee skills" staff on my monk. Had to sell it because I couldn't sustain the mana.

[@williamhenderson2661]

Ya + skills can get you. Got a perfect bow and can barely use it with how my mana is. Wish I had considered that when buying the bow

[@Mirrax45]

You do all this work to filter an item then you get no response from the seller.

[@GrotesqueSmurf]

9 out of 10 times this happens you're trying to buy stuff that was put in too cheap and the seller doesn't actually want to sell for that price, or beccause it's cheap and already got sold. or the person is just busy. I'm always getting what I want, so it's more of a you-problem.

[@JTD472]

@@GrotesqueSmurfit still happens a lot man. I’ve been playing a while, esp PoE1, and I’m with you. It becomes easy to tell when you’re less likely to get a response for various reasons. However it’s still a common problem. You’re all over this comment section replying to people just dismissing this complaint like it’s not valid. It really does happen a lot, especially for newer players and lower value items. It’s understandably frustrating and just pretending like it’s their fault somehow for having a lower budget is besides the point and pathetic. Raxx is even addressing this in this very video for a reason.

[@czproductions]

​@@GrotesqueSmurfIt's a you problem that the seller listed something too cheap? Lol HOW? 😂

[@Ezo772]

If youre Looking for generic Expert bases (which afaik isnt possible directly), set the minimum Level Requirement (not Itemlevel) to 65, Its not perfect but it filters out alot of the advanced or normal bases.

[@sjohntube]

The weighted search is the biggest difference from similar vids and is the greatest impact. If you can figure out a good edit for just that it would be very useful standalone vid or Short to reference

[@evanarnold3663]

Microscopic QoL tip; instead of scrolling down to click search manually, you can initiate the search sequence at any point by just pressing enter. It works even if you’re done typing an affix in and are no longer tabbed in the text box. Saves probably no more than half a second, but .01% smoother is .01% faster 😎

[@Raxxanterax]

I like .5 second saves, they add up quickly

[@Norththeninja]

Count is super good too for jewels and other items that have multiple valued affixes. Plug in a list of affixes set the count to 2-3 then search

[@Iwuldvbinurdady]

Love the video Raxx. I'm a level 87 ice strike monk. Clearing all content with ease, I just finished my t 15 map quests and got my 4th ascendancy. My unlucky ass has found 0 divines so far. Yes I've been juicing maps and using tablets and I have some increased rarity (100+).

[@vbmnx]

I am a 89 and found 2 divines within 10 min one from another in act 3 cruel while lvling my first character. Nothing more since than. But man I was so happy with the find i sold them immediately for 12ex each 😂.

[@rantsreviews3573]

Haven't traded once, loving it. I also die in T17 Breach regularly so lol...

[@soshspotgames4380]

the craziest part is lowering your requirements takes you out of an entire price bracket. So, in your phys bow example, lowering your dps requirement from 400 to 350 meant you also should have swapped back to exalted for currency, and then you would have found a few 350 phys dps bows for 40-60 ex. Same with body armors. Looking for a 600 ES body armor with any spirit on it at all will run you 2 div minimum. Looking for a 450 es body armor now lets you also have a resist and still get spirit and you're again only paying 40-60 ex. I recommend never selecting "divine" as the currency. You should always start with exalt searches and only if you can't find any listings for exalts do you then swap to divine.

[@bartoszmisztal6861]

combning weighted sum with the actual affix requirement is also very useful. weighted sum can give a result of zero on one or more of the stats but if you also include them one by one above then the search will always give you the ones with the actual thing.

[@worldycloop]

Was thinking about this video and here it is 16min ago.. Insane

[@Looosc]

love the trade site in poe. i would like something in game, but i'm a bit afraid that it would remove the complex queries you can perform to really narrow down your searches if it was a straight up AH. hope they can figure something out that keeps the ability to perform good searches

[@thomashull7776]

This is a fantastic guide! Can someone explain in detail what the R-values are on item affixes?

[@stebay99]

It seems slamming an exalted orb can up the level requirments of an item. So if the item is your level and you slam, be cautious

[@toxichecarim710]

could you add a weighted sum to your max roll guides on your items in notes like your gloves on monk have evasion and ES, phy dmg, cold dmg, item rarity, crit dmg bonus and attack speed what are the prios i should be looking for 1st 2nd 3rd and get the rest later?

[@MonkeyDGio89]

A 45 minute training video about trading is exactly what I need. Let’s go Rax I’m taking notes

[@stephenmclemore7614]

On console if someone whispers to you to buy somthing if you open chat (it's on the 2nd hot bar, R2 and right on directional pad on ps5 I beleive) and you can highlight their name and invite them. Took me a minute to figure that out. They definitely don't make it easy.

[@maloo2brvo26]

Was the decision to go for lucky vs crit on the ranger build for cost? Or is it actually better? Can we expect an update on it? Thank you for the trading guide :)

[@lockdown8716]

how does weighting work when numbering why 1 and 3 or 5?

[@christophermccormick5505]

How do you search for the physical damage range on a weapon? Like if i want a weapon to have a physical damage range between 250-400? It only let's you search by dps or a single damage number.

[@GoonUnit98]

If im sorting by weighted sum, does it really matter if theres 10000+ results? Wouldnt the best results still filter to the top?

[@jayduffy9177]

Try it on console. Best time to try trading on console is when your minions are stuck in a door and you’re waiting for them to respawn before you die.

This video was so perfectly timed, for me! I’m on console, so I’ve just been playing SSF. Really hoping that GGG will add some type of in-game trade functionality for us console peasants… 🤣

[@Knights_of_the_Nine]

I honestly like just being able to find a divine, sell it for 120 exalts, and then just craft all my gear.

[@adriaandavel9540]

Resistances on items is making trading mandatory for me. I have picked up a better helm, boots, and belt, but I cannot use them because my resistances will be crap. The chance of picking up a better item, with the correct resistances is practically zero. I have to sell it better gear, and nit pick the better items I need. This is, combined with the poor UX in buying stuff is killing the end game for me

[@kurtisbiggins4594]

I tried to resist trading but if you don't go SSF you screwed. You have to trade in standard. That means going to a website to trade. I think casual players won't like this but they will have to adjust. I did. Now I got all my gear for both my characters. Going thru end game. So easy.

[@Amatsuichi]

my experience trying to buy a Polcirkeln ring.... always 5-6 pieces listed between 1 ex to 10 ex... 100+ whispers to all of them, zero responses... every other price was 1 divine or more... I dont see any real chance how to buy something cheap because bots / farmers a buying it immediately it pops up, then change the price to 1 div+ fortunately enough, on 3rd character after 300 hours of playing, the ring finally dropped... not a very good version, but still good enough...

[@Alejandro-xk5ej]

No shit you cant get an item that is insanely underpriced. Most of the time its just ppl price fixing or underpricing. If an item is worth 1 div then dont be supprised if you cant get it for 5 ex. Not to meantion u just need to chance some saphire rings and you get that shit supprisingly fast.

[@Xenamos]

What a beggar ofc it's not 1 ex that's completely your fault trying to get a non existent deal lol. Pay 1 div like everyone else and stop crying

Hey raxx I know you probably have been asked a bunch but can you point me in a direction for a good leveling build for sorcerer (fresh character) I keep trying different things and just feel it's better to reset

[@soshspotgames4380]

i'm assuming you're not interested in the super popular/powerful spark archmage build that has 11 million guides available. if that's the case, there's also a fireball/frostwall build from Tenkei, and there are other variations of archmage builds that instead use other skills. for the most part, if you're playing sorc....then you're playing some kind of archmage build. frost builds are a bit under-cooked until you get to insane levels of investment, and fire builds frankly don't exist at end game.
