And if you haven't bought it yet, I recommend it as the single most worthwhile investment you can make on a PoE account. I recommend having this tab directly after your dump tab(s). Currency Tab - I've played a character on a free to play alt account to level 100, and let me tell you the currency tab is the single most pay2win thing in the entire game. You can use the Highlight Items feature at the bottom of the tab to deal with one type of item at a time.Ģ. You can sort all the loot more efficiently once these tabs are full, or once you're about done with your current play session. After clearing a map you just CTRL+click all the loot into these tabs and get right back into the next map ASAP. Dump Tab - The first 4 regular tabs OR a single Quad Tab to use as a temporary dumping tab between map runs. Buy an extra one to gamble on, and make sure you keep some currency left over as well.Īlways be aware of the opportunity cost of your actions and make informed decisions based on what would give you the highest amount of enjoyment and/or currency per hour.Īn important aspect of efficient grinding is to have your stash tabs set up in such a way that you waste as little time as possible.ġ. Don't blow all your fusings/chroms on the only Carcass Jack you have in a desperate attempt to 6link it or get 4 offcolors. If you do go down the gambling path, at least be smart about it. Some people enjoy the gamble, while others would rather just buy a sure thing from poe.trade. When it comes to 6linking items and crafting in general, there's usually no right or wrong answer. Efficiency-minded players are a tiny minority, so don't you worry, we won't make it impossible for you to get your leveling uniques and budget gear. There will always be someone who lists and sells items for a single Alchemy Orb, because a huge portion of the community are casual players, and some people even enjoy the pleasing social interactions™. Prices will change depending on the time of day, how far into the league you are, and on the shifting meta. It's also okay to list an item for more than the current market value if you're not in a hurry to sell it. Bear in mind that you might get lowballed by a large amount if you list an item without a price, though. If you want an item to sell quickly, it's OKAY to sell it for a lower price than the market value, so long as you are aware of it, and are making an informed decision. Negotiating with these people is usually a huge waste of time.Ĥ. If someone is trying to offer you camels and goats (random rare items plus mixed currency that equates to far less than your listed price) for a high value item, just say "No thanks" and keep mapping. If I'm trying to buy an item I usually wait about 10 seconds to give them time to respond, before whispering the next person on the list.ģ. Be polite, don't waste people's time, but don't let anyone else waste your time either. I don't even list items that are worth less than this, unless I can sell them in bulk, like certain maps or essences.Ģ. It's a sensitive issue, because any improvements might screw up the economy and open the doors for new types of abuse.ġ. I don't expect GGG to fix, or even significantly improve the trade system any time soon because they already think that players are able to get gear upgrades too easily, bypassing some of the intended progression. The awkward chat and trade systems will make players whisper multiple people in short succession out of frustration, and sometimes the person who whispered you gets a delayed response from someone else and ends up declining your invite as a result. It disrupts the flow of your grind, even if the trade goes as smoothly and quickly as possible, which is not always the case. Every time you have to stop killing monsters in maps to invite another player, go to your hideout, find the item and make a trade, you are not only losing time, but also momentum. Opportunity cost also applies to trading. If you play an exceptionally slow build and don't mind the extra tedium, it MIGHT be worthwhile for you to do the unid one for 2c. Whenever I've done it, I felt like a slave. It is also painfully tedious and not at all fun. I'd argue that the Chaos Recipe is never worth doing in the current meta, because practically every build these days can clear Blood Aqueduct or low tier maps with enough speed to outperform it with just 6socket items and currency drops alone. The faster you can clear and loot a map and start a new one, the more valuable your time becomes. Before the actual specific tips, I'd like you to take a moment to really understand the concept of opportunity cost, since it applies to almost everything you do in Path of Exile, and will be a recurring theme throughout this guide.Įssentially your time has value, and every minute you spend doing something is a minute you could be spending doing something else instead.
