[@TheMereth]

yeah i was interested in tip 4 because 4 is my favourite number , it was very convenient to be able to skip to it

[@qdlaty23]

@Wangchung405 that was a good one mate 😂

[@DarknessXevil]

That tip about not leveling certain skills past a certain point is beyond helpful. I literally just took a look at my level 9 Hypothermia that reduces cold res by 32% for 89 mana. If I leveled that shit up to 12 then it would cost 119 mana, have 106 int requirement, and only reduce cold res by 33%!!! That's genuinely abominable. Thank you for the heads up.

[@fabienb]

I was in the exact same position with Hypothermia and decided not to level it up!

[@J36gE]

Yea this is a good tip for my monk

[@gregrussell1787]

He does mention you can't go down but you can always just stash it and make a new one.

[@Steph1]

One thing I see people forget: enjoy the game. Nobody cares whether you run tier 18 maps or whether you are just playing act 1 over and over. Just enjoy the game 👍

[@Matrix_Array]

I've been playing Act 1-3 repeatedly since the beta came out. I don't care about mapping or end game as much as I care about seeing how fast I can clear each Act; and what the odds are for finding gear good enough to climb in an SSF mode

[@potworzgo]

I only just now finished the campaign. Taking my time and currently I would rate it much better then poe1. By the time I get to red maps ggg propably will fix endgame problems :D

[@Myuri123]

Same for life

[@NafenX]

Facts, I got 5 characters to the end of Act 1 before actually taking one of them into Act 2 😅

[@Vertigo2688]

I'd recommend doing Delirium maps, get the distilled emotions from them, then instill maps using them. That will create a perma Delirium type of map that gets you simulacrum splinters if I recall correctly. Those go for like 1 exalt each. And you can get quite a lot from a single map.

[@markhowell9440]

Delirium in general is the best to start with anyway imo. Instilling your amulet with a powerful passive is really helpful early on in endgame. I didn't actually know you could instill maps with them though, thanks for that tip

[@reggaeonabike]

Good strategy for sure. However, the simulacrums are half an exalt currently I think.

[@Vertigo2688]

@@reggaeonabike Oh, might be. Market is a volatile place. I was going by whatever prices I saw yesterday, didn't really trade any though.

[@NafenX]

I knew that they had added pause into the game which is HUGE, but for some reason never thought to pause to hover over debuff icons etc. "Top 5 tips" style videos are usually such BS but just on the first tip I already learned something that's not super obvious. Thanks!

[@geem9307]

For the waystone maps section. You can just spend 1 exalt and someone will sell you one, or just ask nicely and you may get one for free. People seem to be pretty helpful in global chat.

[@DrumAndSpaces]

Quick tip for poe trader always search by cost of regal first as youll find a bunch of crazy deals for regals. Better than exalt sometimes.

[@jibbibious]

The trade costs are going crazy lately and I’m still not to endgame on my first character yet so this will be very useful. Thanks! Then divine orb costs are devious

[@kekplexis]

I have much less amount of regals so why would I do that?

[@Mattchu44]

Another tip when price checking - scroll down past the first 20 listings and check what the further down ones are going for. A lot of shitters will list expensive items as 1 ex to bait people that don’t know the price to make them sell it for 1ex when it may be worth 20ex or more. If you get a ton of instant spams for an item, you probably listed it at a lower price than it’s worth.

[@roberthowarth5515]

grats on the rank 1 messiest stash tab

[@stilladreamer1]

That's a dump tab, it's the most efficient way of mapping. You roll like 20 (or some people roll a full tab of maps once they've got infinite supply), Run them all without stopping. You basically dump all your loot into this tab (and maybe many more tabs). And at some point you sift through your tabs and sell what is sellable, etc. reorganize. It's much more efficient than spending a few minutes after each map organizing your loot, rolling a new map etc. Will pretty much double or triple your farm rate.

@@stilladreamer1 what's the fun in that? might as well have a bot run it at this point

[@GrotesqueSmurf]

Why is almost noone talking about "+rarity of items found"? It increases the rarity of your currency drops. PoE1 veterans seem to ignore it because they don't know or don't care, but the stat is beyond broken at the moment. So broken indeed, that GGG might even nerf it in the future.

[@danielmuller2695]

I would like a comprehensive guide on why you can die instantly. F.e. I have 3000+ ES and 3000 + Mana, I'm immune to chaos. But sometimes my character commits suicide. And I don't know why. I don't even see any enemy around me. And some people have to do much better. But I can't farm up waystone. I can kill everything, but lossing all of my progress cause my character commits suicide. How to I see those effect? What is the cause of it.

[@thendcomes]

Low level gem preference is a game design problem, should not be the case.

[@MadrasB]

Low level gem being POTENTIALLY better is actually a design plus: you have more options.

I wouldn't necessarily say that it normally happens in a lot of games when u go to maximize ur build

[@mcb6331]

@@MadrasB Yes but we should have the option to choose which level we want, like the support gem, a lvl3 can make all the gems from 1-3.

[@douglasmurdoch7247]

Disagree. If highest level gem is obviously superior in every way, then there’s no decision, it’s just on rails. Every time an element of design makes you make a choice, it’s better.

[@GrotesqueSmurf]

[@rich1231]

I really hope GGG makes runes exchangeable and lets us downgrade gems. Those would be the greatest QoL changes. Regarding chaos res, that's why I decided to go full chaos inoculation Invoker Monk, plus it also gave me immunity to bleed and poison;)

[@GrotesqueSmurf]

"downgrade" gems? Why? It's your own fault you leveled it to high, so just cut a new gem and start over.

[@Itelfig]

@@GrotesqueSmurfI cant see the harm allowing downgrading gems (like in poe 1). If you have 5L gem, its grazy expensive to make a new gem with same link count

[@AscensionStudiosCA]

[@cakimiric5034]

Chaos damage is a thing in PoE1 as well, and if you want to progress, no it s not something you can easily neglect. Very important, just like you discovered it is in PoE2 to get resist for it

He didn't say it wasn't a thing, he said you could get away without it being capped ant not get oneshot, and he is correct.

[@FirroLP]

One really good tip for trading is that you if you have 10000 results, sorting doesn't take in all matches beyond 10k, so filter it down to below 10k first so that when you sort, you actually get the highest value

[@Hankblue]

6:07 You know there's a rune for chaos res right? :)

[@Carefaceeeee]

Thank you man

[@MrZordex]

Tip 6: get yourself a gem stash tab :D

[@crimson1490]

you can "kind of" downgrade your skill gems but its basically just making a new one so you lose quality or corruption. Just unequip the skill gem and use an uncut of desired level to make a new one

[@GrotesqueSmurf]

Yup. Just very expensive especially when not deep into endgame, because jeweller's orbs are hard to come by and corrupting for 4th slot is a big gamble.

[@kasumimi]

[@1treyton1]

1:04 I DESPERATELY NEED HELP! When I was running through act I I was playing in a party with friends. The quest to pick up Ren's tools to unlock the reforging bench was bugged and to this day I cannot complete the quest because the tools won't drop! I've gone back so many times in my solo instances and re-ran that area and they will not drop. I am locked out of using the bench. Does anyone know a fix for this?!?!?!

[@PristineRuin]

Just keep playing youll get it in act 2. This is from maxroll. What About the Tinker's Tools in Mawdun Quarry? The Tinker's Tools hidden event only appears to you in the Mawdun Quarry if you did not return the Smithing Tools to Renley in Act 1. It's a failsafe event designed to unlock the Salvage Bench for players that have not. If you have already unlocked the Salvage Bench you wont see this event on the map but may find an empty chest in the Mawdun Quarry, which would have held the tools.

Crafting is bad because currency is still bad. I cant do shit. I just level up. My Merc is lvl 62 still using a lvl 38 crossbow 😂

[@GrotesqueSmurf]

Crafting during the campaign is totally possible, just don't use your exalteds all the time. There could be more material drops tho during the campaign, I agree on that. And since GGG want players to craft, and it's a common feedback, I think they'll look into it. Oh and: increase your "+rarity of items". PoE1 players tend to neglect it, but in PoE2 it has a HUGE impact on your currency drops. So huge indeed, that GGG might even nerf it.

[@sean78745]

If you're on trade, a couple exalts go a LONG way. If on ssf, check vendors every time you level and craft up good bases that drop. Guaranteed you'll get a solid upgrade pretty fast

Tip #1 Don't play warrior.

[@MrTidus1492]

I wish I knew not to roll warrior

[@gasman555]

I was so happy when I got rings with + to All elemental resistances - and then I checked, it didn't apply to Chaos res?? :( sad...

[@MaGiKzzGaming]

Yeah unfortunately Chaos Res is considered its own thing but I think that needs to be the case for balancing. Depending on where you are at progression wise and how much spare currency you have one of the best ways to cap it is getting the Chaos Resist rings and with a chaos resist roll on top of that. Another tip, and what I personally do, is instead of trying to get as many different resistances as possible on all your gear I focus on one or two resists per item with really high rolls. I feel like its generally cheaper to get gear if you do this Eg. I got boots with 37% fire res and 25% move speed with an empty socket for 1ex where as boots with 25% move speed and 3 resistances all 10-15% would generally be much more expensive, so you can kind of "specialise" each gear piece and just "top up" your resistances using sockets or one or two gear pieces with resist all or multiple resistance rolls. Hopefully this will help you out a bit if you try my approach!

[@SservisGaming]

Lower Level Gems: If you remove your current gem create a fresh gem instead of upgrading, you will end up with two gems, the old one and a new one. I think (untested) this means you will have to recreate extra links if you had them on the lower level gem, but it's still useful at low levels or after creating links is no longer a large expense. If you're playing multiple of the same class (both ascendencies?), this handles much of the campaign and all the gems the new character earns are spare low level gems.
