Beating the Campaign - Path of Exile for TOTAL Beginners

[@salendrak]

*3.21 UPDATE:* Tip #9 in the video is now mostly obsolete, as the 3.21 league is removing the vendor recipes that added flat elemental damage to spells. The generic added physical damage and added spell damage recipes still work though.

Thanks for these videos. Just coming from diablo 4 and these are very helpful

[@dipl3ft172]

I started POE a few days ago after dumping a hundred hours into D4 and needing a switch up, these videos have been INSANELY helpful, I’ve tried to play POE numerous times over the last 5 years and couldn’t even get the motivation to get out of the beach, I’m now halfway thru act 1 thanks to these videos :)

[@salendrak]

Awesome! And welcome to Wraeclast!

[@calvin8154]

Same here! Diablo 4 was super fun and a great gateway into the ARPG world. Since I hit end game it got real boing real quick. There just isn't anything to do. So I figured I'd give POE a good honest try. Like you I've tried it a few times in the past and drowned at the beach. POE 2 looks like it's going to be fun so I figured now is a good time to start learning POE so I'll at least be prepped for it next year. I know the 2 games will be different but I'm sure a lot of the knowledge I gain from POE will be transferrable. Either way, thanks to this guys beginner guides I'm having a blast with POE and I'm hooked. I can't see going back to Diablo 4 unless there are huge changes to the end game and builds.

The devil is in the details!!

[@robosergTV]

new player should absolutely follow a build guide and pick skills listed in the guide. Otherwise the character will be bricked as POE doesnt have a good system to wipe skill points like Diablo has.

[@salendrak]

@@robosergTV While I agree that following a build guide is a great idea, I don't think it's necessarily a good idea for anyone that is playing the game for the first time. "New Player" is a very broad category of experience levels, whereas "Total Beginner" is a much smaller sub-set of "New Players". And besides - bricking a character you've been trying to create on your own is likely to be far more educational than blindly following a build guide. But as with all things, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to the game, so it's nice to have options!

[@jamo7303]

@@robosergTV I'm following a build guide for my first play through after dumping 150hours into D4. My plan is that once I've completed campaign, played a little bit of endgame and if i enjoy it to then start over without a guide and try to complete campaign. I feel it might be best to play through with a build guide first as I don't want to spend 100's of hours learning all the small details then getting to endgame and not liking it (im still reading tooltips etc as I play thru campaign). I can pick up basic knowledge whilst following a build guide and then if I enjoyed it I can gain further knowledge from there.

[@thejenkka01]

​@@robosergTVthat sounds tedious. I'd rather not even play as a beginner, since I always like to experience the game by myself on my first run, so for me this video made me actually want to finish the campaign for the first time

Great guide! Most of the 'beginner' guides out there focus a lot on end game stuff, trading and currency. Completely overwhelming any newby. Yours instead really points the main doubts we all had when playing for the first time. Also the chronological order of the tips is quite accurate to the character progression. Good job!

@@salendrak I'm super interested in that. I wonder how many people have landed on your videos because Diablo 4 falls off really fast in end game. Oh and thanks for the tip about only picking up relevant loot. Coming from D4 I just picked up everything in the first few missions of POE to vendor for mats or currency. I spent more time vendoring than I did slaughtering. I thought I needed to build up my mats/currency base at the very beginning of POE since I had nothing. Wish I had watched this video immediately after the getting started video yesterday before I went home and spent several hours vendoring crap. I did make it to level 14 though. The game is really fun and I look forward to future leagues and playing different characters.

Welcome to Wraeclast!!

[@Niczu.]

Regarding keybinds.. This may not be everyone's cup of tea but some months ago I switched to using RDFG instead of WASD as my primary buttons, mainly due to wanting some more buttons to the left side that I can use. At that time I didn't play PoE but few days ago I decided to give the game another go (after being frustrated in the past, same story as with so many others). So the cool thing about this is that I now have skills bound to RTDFG and flasks to AS

[@salendrak]

That's a great idea! Reminds me of how I used to play MMORPGS like WoW- I would put my movement keys on SDFE so that I could use the adjacent keys (along with Shift, Ctrl, Alt variants) to use ALL they keybinds! And I honestly wish POE had more spots for hotkeys LOL

[@Niczu.]

@@salendrak Thanks for the comment! Yeah, SDFE is pretty good too but it feels too weird for me to have that notch on my index finger (its a bit OCD thing I suppose lol) so I moved it one row more to the right side. Also, these were great videos btw! I would guide new players towards these videos most definitely. Zizaran (for example) also has great beginner stuff but I feel like these were easier to digest due to length and sticking to the most basics.

[@timlampers8610]

23:45 it should be noted that if you are early on in a trade league, you might potentially want to sell that 6linked item to other players that can use it for a few chaos orbs. Or if you're on SSF, you can keep the 6link for a new character or at least keep it 'banked' to only vendor when you need the sockets.

[@salendrak]

True! And along those lines there are many items that will sell like hotcakes in the first few days of a league, but will only gather dust later on in the league. Gotta love that ever-shifting economy!

[@timlampers8610]

19:45 I would argue that 200-300 life per act is best, as trying to get items that provide good sockets, resistances AND life could be quite tricky. It's generally better to go for resistances and armour/evasion rather than just focussing on life.

[@salendrak]

I agree - a balanced approach is generally best, but you can also think of it as a bit of a sliding scale. If you've got a good balance of defensive stats, less life is needed. By contrast, if you're lacking on resists or other defensive stats, then more Life will also keep you going. And there's definitely no one-size-fits-all!

[@Venvaneless]

To any beginner who might find my comment: While resistences are important and will be even more important than life the further you go, don't make the same mistake I did: Like every beginner, it's pounded into your head, that you need to raise your resistances ASAP, but you will notice, that with every level, the resistances nodes are sitting much further away on the passive tree, this is the time you need to focus on your gear more and look for best items, to better those stats. Sometimes it's not worth it to waste 6 skill points only to get 8% fire resistance. Some good jewelry will do better and you can use the points you get for it to focus on damage. Also, depending on your class, you will get faster to one type of defence nodes than the others (like ES for witch, for example). Read what each differentiate from others and decide, which is better for your character and combat style.

[@salendrak]

I approve of these pointers!

[@FighteroftheNightman]

[@salendrak]

I'm curious - what caused you to lose steam in your previous forays into PoE?

[@jameslane2326]

@@salendrak The controls have always felt a bit clunky, and after Diablo 4 they feel even more so. I tried switching to an xbox controller, which worked flawlessly on D4 but on PoE there were issues picking up loot. Ive always loved the concept of the massive passive skill trees in POE but its layout has always seemed daunting and confusing, im not someone who likes to follow build guides, i like to discover and make them up as i go and PoE makes it hard to play that way. There arent really good tool tips on the nodes, so of them have words that i dont know what they mean and theres no in game way ive found to quickly reference what a particular ability does in detail. Finally and perhaps the biggest reason i lose steam is that the world feels somewhat lifeless. The quests arent very engaging, and the gameplay seems to basically just be find a big group of mobs and aoe it down, loot and repeat. Which is fun in small doses but can get stale.

Defiantly learned I didn't need to sell all my junk. I blame Diablo. Also, thought vendor recipes were just 'a few things' .... no its a whole damn kit your self out early. So thanks for that. Makes me wonder if I'll find use for all my identify scrolls and orbs of augmentation... i'm sure I will. I also like how you reinforce this is preferred, but hey, do your own thing. WITHOUT the sass. In other games people will be like 'you can do what you want, but I'm just telling you this, the path I have, is superior.' That has done one of two things, cause my O.G. founders of American blood to boil and say 'I'm throwing your tea in the harbor' and two, just rebel...cuz...i hate meta's. Edit: well, I guess not all the recipes work...but there's enough according to the wiki to let you safely play around with what you want and don't want in gear. That's way better then usual crafting/trading where its 'here's this item AND the next thing you pick up is so superior that you don't want it.'

No gems, no orbs...current club hits for 10, new one hits for 12, use new club.. lets go...Complexity for complexities sake is just stupid. IF I pick up something that makes my character better, like a gem, just AUTO place it, if it's equal, let me choose. I shouldn't have to think about oh, if I pick up this piece with these other 2 pieces I get this piece? It's not a game breaker YET...but it's not looking good.

[@salendrak]

I personally can't stand it when games auto-equip stuff for me, but then, not all games are for all gamers. And that's OK!

[@calvin8154]

I mean why can't the game also auto target and auto cast the correct skill to kill enemies for me? I shouldn't have to look at an enemy and decide the best way to kill it. In that vein, the game should also decide to just equip the most OP skills automatically. I shouldn't have to think about how to gear my character. The game should do it for me. Also if the game could make sure that my defenses are perfect for each situation I encounter that would be great. But wait, why should I have to sit at my computer to play at all? The game should play itself when I don't have time. I shouldn't have to think about oh, if I go to work today then I can't play POE, but if I stay home to play POE, then I won't get paid. If the game just played itself for me then I wouldn't have to make these kinds of decisions. I sure hope when I get home I have a maxed out super OP end game ranger and my wife has my preferred dinner ready without even soliciting my opinion. I'd hate to have to think about making a decision on dinner. Why can't she just make what I feel like eating today without asking me?

@@sapphireglaceon Active skill gems or support gems? If you have the support utility turned on it will tell you if a support will work with an active skill gem, but you'll still want to read the descriptions. Otherwise, just experiment!

@@salendrak alright thanks

[@robosergTV]

Spacebar should be a movement gem, not a flask lol And QWER for skills is standard layout of MOBAs for the last 20 years, so 99% of players are used to it

[@salendrak]

That's certainly also an option, though I'm not aware of any compelling argument as to why anyone should or shouldn't put a movement gem on spacebar. Care to explain?

D4 soon boys

[@salendrak]

I'm still on the fence on whether I'll be trying or or not. I LOVED D2, but absolutely hated D3, and generally don't care for Blizzard as a company these days...

Maybe?

@@salendrak okay okay, u right now my statement is: yes

[@sapphireglaceon]

sadly no because you dont really answer what is not TRASH ITEMS

[@salendrak]

Sadly no what exactly? I'm confused... As for what is no trash items, honestly that's quite the complex topic! As trash for one character might be decent for another, and a good item early on quickly becomes trash later! Mostly though it's something you learn with experience.

@@salendrak sorry it was a point in the video i forgot to tag the time

[@majicMix911]

Your viudeo actually saved me countless hours of my life. Uninstalled.

I take it this game really isn't your cup of tea? If so - there's nothing wrong with that!😆
