Trading Tips & Tricks For Path of Exile 2

[@DustyF3OX]

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.

[@Gregair13]

Just used this to buy a few items to see how it works... Fixed all my res, added 1100 DPS to my main attack and got my item rarity find to 85%... All for 3 exalted. Very helpful.

[@traiantulbure3819]

Great vid! The weighted sum filter is a game changer. Another I’ve found very useful is the “count” option, which lets you add a bunch of desirable affixes and then choose the minimum number of them you’d like to see on an item. Very helpful when changing gear over multiple pieces and have a number of affixes that are desirable, but you’re flexible in where they appear (often rings/ amulet), great for covering resistances for example.

[@c-tothefourth4879]

Inferior to weighted sum

[@traiantulbure3819]

@ not necessarily if the affixes you require are not weighted and merely need covering, but you are flexible about where they appear. For example you need 30 dex and 25 strength for specific gems/gear. They’re not weighted just necessary.

[@skyluke9476]

Is there any way to add multiple gear sets to search for? Like what if I want either a helmet or boots that has a specific stat but I don’t want to search for any other gear types

This video is really useful for those of us that were a bit confused on how to search (and overwhelmed by the amount of results) in the PoE2 trade website. That's for sharing it. ❤

[@PathOfExileBots]

Yep!

[@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 😎

[@shagmesilly78]

Great video Raxx... Another tip, which I always screw up is, I forget to double check the basic stat requirements (STR, DEX, INT). The amount of times I've found something that is amazing, only to buy it and realise that I can't use it, as I need way too much STR etc. So in the Requirements section, list what you're CAPABLE of getting to, by changing your skill nodes in your skill tree.

[@PNW_MX222]

One of your most helpful guides ever. Strong work bud.

[@kenallsop7502]

Fantastic video as always, Raxx. Super clear, love the various examples. Looking forward to the gearing + crafting guide for SSF; will probably go that way for the first league reset as I always enjoy the process of having to find or make everything myself.

[@selluminis]

Great video. One thing I have been noticing. The item that the buyer whispers you about will be highlighted in your stash with a purple outline around it. Now, this does not always work for some reason, but it makes finding the item they buyer wants much easier. Just noticed this a couple weeks ago. The sum feature explanation really helped. I was not sure how that worked at all.

[@purplatypus7405]

Only thing I would add. Don't feel like you NEED to buy something asap. This isnt an auction house like WoW as its only showing you what people currently online are selling. If you dont find anything worth buying check back in an hour or a day and between new active players and items constsntly being added youll find something sooner or later.

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.

[@user-bi6eg1lo7v]

I'm glad you mentioned etiquette because I messaged 10+ people to buy things and no one messaged me back. I just gave up on trading.

[@LukasSoftwareDeveloper]

Raxx, I just want to say thank you. Thank you a lot.

[@airtazznunya5724]

Good video. Enjoyed the last section the most.

[@welshmouse]

if you're searching for a weapon, I think it's a bad idea to add affix searches for things like phys damage and attack speed, since they are accounted for in the DPS calc, you're better of just increasing the DPS threshold since then you know you're getting the best combination of damage stats. The thing to filter for might be things like +gem level, or explicit elemental damage etc.

[@jellysg]

decent guide covering most of the frequently asked questions, however im more impressed by your paint skills and for that you get a sub

[@MoonDoumaTwo]

Hey Raxx, love your videos man! I was curious if you would ever do a small video for people who aren't quite sure what base items are worth rolling orbs on to craft, or if maybe I missed one where you did this.

[@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.

[@lutenNplunder]

great guided mate. helped me out a lot

[@dustinbesser4780]

awesome thanks, had no idea about the weighted sum! I think that's gonna help a ton

[@rafa155k4]

thank you so much man i bought some gear after watching this video it 3x my damage its helping a lot with the campaign

[@DualTV92]

Love this guide a lot, and I'm an avid watcher on your stream - however I still standby that searching a website (even if it is the official one) to upgrade my gear just feels completely terrible and completely defeats the purpose of an ARPG in my opinion. Great video as always, keep up the good work.

[@smithiWerben]

Count is also really helpfull, it lets you choose all the stats that would be good for you and then you can say that the items that are shown need to have at least X amount of those stats on them. Another thing i usually do is after putting in all the stats i want i sort my results by those stats once and then update each stat with a realistic min value i would like to have.

I swear to god your tutorial vids are just godsent, thank you for dumbing it down to us casuals 🤣

[@tomekhome]

thank You for all you do Raxx, this is great.

[@ryanbach9929]

One trick I like to use with certain items, like boots, where one affix is by far the most important - instead of setting that one as an AND filter and then doing my other stats in a weighted sum, I'll include that one in the sum with a really high weight. So for boots, I might set it so that 5% more movespeed was worth almost as much as a pretty good roll on another stat. That way I can see a mix of say, 35% movespeed boots with pretty good stats and 30%s with way better rolls on other stats. One other tip worth mentioning: if you have the budget to spare or just lots of choices in your price range, it's often worthwhile to go for better resist rolls on resists you're already capped for over small increases to other stats. This provides a buffer against -resist debuffs but (IMO) more importantly: it makes your life easier next time you want to swap out a piece of gear with a couple resists on it, so you don't have to search for exactly the same resist values to avoid dropping under cap. The hardest time to upgrade gear on a character, in my experience, is around yellow maps when you likely have pretty decent gear in all slots, still have a somewhat limited budget, the gear you're looking to buy is higher end so there won't be a huge number of great options sometimes, and you just barely cover all your resists with a bunch of mostly mediocre rolls on basically all your gear. The difference in item quality you'll be able to afford searching for new gloves that must have 32% fire and 20% cold to keep you capped, vs. just any gloves with the other stats you want, can be pretty huge, especially if there are lots of other suffixes you want that can take the place of those resist rolls.

[@NephChevsky]

Wow, i didn't know about the weighted sum search. That's a really good tool. Not sure i understand how the weighting works but i'm gonna check it out for sure. Thx, really looking for the crafting guide Raxx

Great bigginers guide, nicly done.

[@MildManneredBen]

Another good tip: I've found that if items are listed at kind of a low price and no one is replying, you're probably asking people who think the item is too cheap to warrant leaving their map for, or they never really intended to sell it at that price in the first place. As an example, I could find loads of Radiant Grief helmets listed for 1-2 ex, but no one was replying to my whispers (and I did this hundreds of times). Went for one selling for a more honest price (a couple of ex higher) and got the trade done in one go.

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]

Goated guides as always

[@crankyknuckles1849]

Other tips: You can manually force delist your item from trade if you get spammed with messages. To better understand an item's stats, you should look up a database containing all item stats, making searching for item stats much easier than guessing. If the seller's item has been out for days, whisper the seller with a lower offer. From my experience, the majority of sellers will lower prices. You can also manually change the direct message from seller trade, but then you should do your diligence and give the seller information about the original price and your own asking price. Another thing you can do with trade is to manually save the trade setting, so that you have multiple trade options ready whenever you need something particular, like for example a high-level waystone that is magic and not rare.

I think another big thing is check if you're searching for too many prefix/suffix mods on an item, stats can only roll as a prefix/suffix so you won't be able to have triple resist + something like thorns.

[@Essemlol]

Just as a bit of info. Typically in a league economy the longer the league has gone by the price threshold to get consistent responses increases. On day 1, 2 or 3 for example, people will happily take the time to sell you their 1-5 exalt items. But on week 3 the time it takes to go out their map or whatever else they are doing is not worth to trade the 5 exalt item that they have forgotten in a 5 ex dump tab from weeks ago so they will not respond. And that threshold will continue rising. So sometimes checking when the item was posted is important to actually get a response.

Hi.First of all, thanks for all the videos that give an insight into the game, I'm quite new to POE2, I've never played POE. The game is great. is there any site reference where item stats can be seen?Example: 53% recovery to minions - I understand what it means but I don't understand the mechanics (probably if you have a summon build heals minions for a percentage).So i can understand the importance of item stats and trade.I come from the D2R universe and there is a lot of new stuff.
