Path of Exile 2: How to use your currency (and how to get it)

[@acronen]

Tip to get more Arcanist Etchers (I had so few through the campaign): Every time you level, go to the scepter/wand vendor in every act. Buy any of these items that has any quality on them, and salvage them.

[@Psylento]

same tip goes for socketed items at vendor as well!

[@Gumpinn]

Or buy them using currency exchange, 7 cost 1Ex which aint that much

[@jarhead2159]

Just an important heads up : when he mentions some currency that would be better to “sell” like the divine orb, he means using the currency exchange to get other currency (usually exalts) and NOT selling to vendors

[@EggsAndBacon14]

Yes, this. Other players included. The currency exchange market will give you what the going rate is and you can't get scammed.

[@DeathbladeX619]

Man, just thank you for this. I reached Act 3 yesterday without understanding most the basics of what you explained in the video which was very well structured. I so appreciate it. Just thank you.

[@opegamin]

Editor needs a raise. One of the best showcases on how to use stuff for crafting.

[@gadget392]

I'm brand new to PoE, and this video will singlehandedly change and correct how I play the game. Thank you so much for this.

[@James-o2r6i]

I was literally trying to figure out how to use currency yesterday and was overwhelmed with should I use this or that. I was gonna look up a video today and what are the odds your video was the first one on my feed when I when to check. It’s like you read my mind and made the video just when I needed it. The universe works in mysterious ways. Wow what are the chances. Awesome video by the way got exactly what I needed. Thanks.

[@Knights_of_the_Nine]

"I have no idea what a divine orb is, and this point in too afraid to ask."

[@Stormsurgez]

12:30 Are you able to Vaal orb a gem to make it go from 3 to 4 sockets, and then later on use a Perfect Jeweler's orb to make it go from 4 to 5? Or is that not allowed since it is now corrupted and doesnt allow that future change?

[@idontusegmail5342]

you cant modify corrupted items

[@Krems_]

No once you corrupt it you can’t upgrade sockets on it

[@PlatinumTrickster]

Thank you very much for this video, it helped a lot to understand things!!

[@holydarkness6007]

Import tip about reforging 3 of the same pieces. The item that is created will be the lowest item level. Meaning if you use item level 65, 69, and 70 it will be an item 65.

[@uwagaogorek5739]

you can actually reforge 3 esseces at the bench and it has a small chance to upgreat into a random greater essence

[@wildesanity]

I didn't know Ziz was doing a Sonic cosplay for the 3rd movie 😁

[@mlazNJ]

Excellent, excellent video, thank you.

[@your_eulogy2688]

I love how blizzard doubled down on advertisements for d4 after POE2 EA launched lmfao.

[@danielkelsosmith]

Currency grinding on Expedition is pretty nice and profitable. The currency exchange gets you a minimum of 5e every map. It ain’t much but it’s worth something I guess. (If you’re dying endlessly on other maps, just run expedition)

[@EggsAndBacon14]

Expedition is my favorite, with Delerium right after. It can get dicey, but the rewards are instant, you can get quite a bit, and you can control it more and plan ahead. Breach is very profitable but so chaotic especially on tight corridor maps like crypts and forests, that it's tough to really gauge if you could handle it well or if you just got lucky and didn't get screwed.

[@EggsAndBacon14]

I would be much happier with the crafting if the mats (most but doesn't have to be all) dropped more and salvaging gear gave back a larger variety of potential mats. I love how it's handled in Last Epoch, and with so many items to reset or lightly influence your preferred craft, it would be more fair and enjoyable imo if things like essences and exalts dropped more. All of this without magic find of course.

[@newjersey973]

11:30 what stops the person from keeping your mirror and the item? Sounds super risky and sketchy

[@Tekvorian]

Great video. thanks a lot

[@DreadedLad88]

This is a great vid. Its hilarious to see so many "content creators" racing to post endgame builds and complaining about the systems... When most of the player base hasn't even finished the campaign.

[@AnatoleVGC]

Right? And those endgame guides are so hard to fully grasp when you are new to the game. There are a lot of new PoE players, we need more beginner guides than edngame so we dont feel lost on the journey.

[@xMaidinChina]

@@AnatoleVGC I’m new to this genre (played d2 as a child) but I’m in higher tier maps now and haven’t found the game too difficult. Just need to find your grove and maybe don’t play a warrior class if you are new to start.

[@EAZUP]

If he does a POE2 school like part 1... That show will be 10hrs long. Cant wait 😁

[@harleyhendricks7659]

Completely unrelated so my apologies 🙏. Potential solution for game difficulty that can become currency related.Let us craft portal uses on maps for the harder/important maps. More portals have higher investment. IDK if this idea has already been discussed though.

[@Cocker_Spaniel]

So for conclusion we can use divine and Vaal orbs on unique items?

[@steveg1054]

I was hoping you would cover how screwed up Chaos orb drops are.... I cannot recraft anything as I have not seen a single chaos in 8 tiers of maps!

[@mattb6646]

Damn thats unlucky, I'm on tier 3s and I've found like 8. Chaos suck pretty bad now, and they're close to 1-1 for exalts so you can trade for them

[@koko2274]

​@@mattb6646 maybe bro is playing on SSF.

[@Calekoflight]

I miss Alterations.....

[@adybli36]

Nah, alt spam was one of the worst parts of the game.

[@swapnajoynath1478]

How much do orb of annulments go for? Is it worth 1 divine or more?

[@Majber]

what chaos orb can change? only prefixes or sufixes too?

[@cyberbogart]

What a great video.

[@konakoffee5262]

Am I supposed to be running a focus or a shield for my witch Infernalist?

[@libor2010]

shield with high block chance.

@ Thanks for the clarification! I’m relatively new to PoE.

[@saadqudusi7663]

how to use filter for ps5 players? (2:00)

[@ramstab]

How do you get this filter on console? I usually copy someone’s filter and paste it on the website, but this…isn’t the way

[@GlovikXIV]

Can’t use filters on console atm

[@ramstab]

@ Ehhh, it’s fine

[@saiucrozier]

You said you'd link Neversink and you didn't

[@a1subie]

[@saiucrozier]

[@dembro27]

[@mattb6646]

Im sorry but they totally ruined chaos. The chances of it giving you something good at stupidly low. Its like 4 layers of rng with all bad odds

[@Anonymous-nj9wh]

Why the sonic cossplay ?

[@BarsimonR]

okay good video but not as beginner friendly as maybe you thought :) I think a step by step on a white item would make more sense and had spare currency

[@nerdedkyle3515]

I made it to tier 4 maps I hear people talking about juicing maps how do you do that and also I can't seem to quality my skill gems even though I clicked the correct things

[@deano4138]

juicing is essentially adding more monsters and loot into your maps(but making them harder). There are a couple ways to do it but the main one is putting Precursor tablets into towers. It isnt something you should really worry about until you clear tier 15's. Toss in a tablet here or there if you want, just have fun. You cant upgrade the quality of a gem if its been corrupted by a vaal orb already. Is that the case?

[@r4m0m777]

All i really wanted to know is if theres ANY viable infernalist build that works without fire skeleton skulls + firewall + arsonists, every single build guides out there just focuses on the same 3 stuff to a point that i dont even want to experiment with something else myself.

[@LightNovelEnthusiast]

Check out ghazzytv and goblin, they’ve done both reaver minion and frost mage minion builds.

[@BigWillyam]

chaos orbs are used to exchange for exalted orbs lmao

[@mephisto8644]

As person who played poe for less than 40h year ago I came now to play poe 2 I decided to play SSF to force my self to learn the game Not just buy gears and blast like in trade league 😅 The thing im having trouble with, there is no F*** crafting table im un battle between Res and Dmg stat 😂😂😂 Kind fun to feel happy when getting item with 3 good stat Than u check Trade u find it only with 1 ex orb 😅

[@Hrivera585]

i stoped crafting stuff i brick everything 😅

[@dwahg]

no hate to you personally ziz but "lets say that this item has" then highlight the relevant parts and darken the rest like you did with item level "i dont have this omen but its on poe2db" then.. open poe2db and show it? you already had some minimal editing in the video (which is already an achievement for poe videos on youtube as a whole) so you showed you can do it, you really gotta make this shit much easier to process and digest if you're gonna tell new players 50k new things in a video

[@blindseerurza]

the arsonist's command ability is super useful

[@BoutiqueChicSpot]

Awesome

[@elderwiz3165]

Playing POE 2 turned your hair blue?

[@chance-dp4qg]

It's not crafting it's gambling crafting you craft sumthing you want you can't do that in this game

[@jeezes1708]

somebody pls use regal orb on Zizaran

[@ON_1_Jon]

Anyone know why PS5 can't use the trade website?? Everytine I try to go on it when I'm on the game it just says I have to be in game to do whisper someone when I try and start a trade . Even when I go on my laptop or phone browser it says the same thing and I've verified/linked my account 🤷🏽‍♂️ so I dunno what's up

[@dirty8351]

You drink to much blue Kool aid.

[@prax4173]

Have like 5-6 divs rn and probably alot more in crafted items. Got to a point in the game when i need new computer to play the game, when i have del + breach and boss encounters in same map on savannah or any grass map my computer gets deleted. Works on all other but grass maps. If you know any settings that can improve game performance please let me know, my computer is 2 years old it should not struggle on Poe 2.

[@leftoverpastaz1182]

are you trolling? they give you 300 points to spend on the mtx store.

[@mattb6646]

Im just gunna be honest with a hot take. I think ggg screwed up the crafting in poe2. Its worse than poe.

[@emmas1366]

not very hot but i do disagree. it clearly doesn't have the same amount of depth but I like the foundation more personally

[@danielkelsosmith]

Highly agree. It often feels like I’m losing something more than gaining when I’m crafting. If an item has cost me 5e to craft, I’d rather have never made it. It doesn’t feel enjoyable

[@jdawglmao]

Streamer like you got paid to hype the game towards us. It's no near it was advertised in countless interviews. - Boring endgame - Repetitive maps - Tideous grinding - Obsolete on-death XP punishment - Cafting is just a theory; everyone just buys what they need - Massive bugs, visual glitches, disconnects - Lack of server performance - Group mapping is the only way of leveling - Missing 99.9% of MTX from PoE 1 - Game is barily playable in 1080p - 4K 120Hz? I can offer you 2 fps - In-game shop's MTX are too expensive - Copy/Paste low effort armor MTX with 2005 visuals - Massive currency inflation - Console experience is even worse Was there any negative streamer feedback from pre-testing the game? Just a single one from the above?? No. Because they were told to hold on their critics after the game launched and made money. PoE 1 Veterans get mad because it's not even close to the original experience. Casual players get frustrated because 3 hours of grinding laggy maps is worth nothing when you just die once. And every critic from players like myself is treated the same way: "Bro, chill. It's early access man. What do you expect? The game will be free eventually." The official forums are flooded with complaints, feedback, bug reports and opinions. Instead of begging us to give you our money to see you actually enjoying the game, and in return posting the same nonsensical build showcase video, you should stand your ground and talk about the real problems. You streamer people have probably forgotten this, but here's a friendly reminder: you're the player's representative, not GGG's strategic marketing ambassador. If I invest time and money, I want something in return. In this case I can't enjoy playing because the game lacks in performance. And I can't progress because if I only make one mistake within two hours of grinding T15 maps and die, I'll be put back at the start of my XP bar.

[@emmas1366]

multiple streamers Ziz included have made videos touching on many of the issues you mentioned. it is EA but yeah, and criticism is still neeeded -thats why they're giving it. making videos is these peoples jobs, they're not only going to critique the game the entire time? Maybe you just happened to not see the videos but again many people including Ziz have put out videos and talked on stream about a lot of the current issues with the game

[@Mjdemass]

Bro, chill. It's early access man

[@jdawglmao]

@ Guess what: they've played the game for countless hours before early access launch. They already knew all of the flaws of the game before it came out, but kept silent.

[@reasonsreasonably]

​@jdawglmao Some enjoy the game and understand that it's EA. If you don't like endgame, for example, rerolled and learn about other classes. Take things slower, etc. Rushing to endgame, which you know is half-baked is your choice. The campaign is well done. Really, just chill and enjoy what is enjoyable. Better yet, take a break and touch grass.
