For what it's worth, vendors only refresh every 3-4 levels now, so you don't need to check on every level up.

#16 with the vendor stuff, there were a change where after level up only 25% items are replaced

On the part about rolling socket colours - if someone wants to craft item they should roll reduced stat requirements on item and then hit it whit chromes. That way you increase chance to roll offcolour sockects. Its a bit advanced tip, but it something that actually works

Palsteron, I wanna salute you for the time it took to out this AMAZING video out. With D4 just launching were going to be seeing a lot of newer players that are about to embark on one of the hardest bell curves in gaming. This video is such a HUGE boon to anyone starting out. Truly one of the pillars to this community. ❤

You have been a huge help for me this past couple weeks getting myself back in line with everything POE as we approach this next league - haven't played since Expedition so lots to catch up on. Really appreciate your knowledge and delivery!

Shout out to no. 35. Only true poe vets know about no. 35

played almost 5k ours but didnt know about 35, its very helpful vid, ty

#94, color your sockets before doing your quality. Quality increases the likelihood that items innately have, so no quality items will be more likely to hit off colors.

As someone that went in blind these kind of tip videos are the best as Im not into watching and following a guide step by step I want to explore and learn it myself. This collection of small tips helps way better into gaining knowledge bit by bit instead of watching a full on course on how to play. I might not reach the end of endgame but im having fun.

Another useful tip, maybe already mentioned. With the affinities and storage tabs in general. You can set up everything you want on standard before a new league and when you start a new league all those settings will be saved and carried over as to not have to set them everytime.

My tip: Put your main ability on something like E and not your right mouse button. That will save a lot of hand strain and is just a lot more comfortable imo

Dude the amount of work put into this🤯 gj man, right in time for all the d4 refugees and right b4 new league :)

A behemot of a video, must've been very fun to create. Well done, thanks Pal!

This was crazy helpful, I started played back when there were only 5 acts and played up until the start of Bestiary but just started again and so much has changed. Thank you :)

To add on #83, You can also search the name of the pantheon god you need instead and it will highlight all maps that have upgrades for that god

Awesome video, so many good and unknown tips and details! Well done Palsteron, tks for sharing your knowledge with us :D

While i understand the notion that new players should follow a build guide, there are also people like myself who embrace the challenge of learning on your own. I had to make 3 characters before being able to finish Acts for the first time and i had an absolute blast doing so. Instead of telling everyone outright that you *need* a build guide to enjoy the game, rather tell them that if they want to go the path of learning by themselves, they should be prepared to start over a couple of times with newly aquired knowledge. Following a build guide is easier, yes, but it's fully possible (and even fun for some) to do it yourself - if you have the patience for it.

Huge! Thank you, especially for tip 35.

If I may add one, There is a blight exploit which trivializes the mechanic. A Lvl 3 seismic in the circle of a LvL 3 empower (no higher) will perma stun all non immune enemies, then you can forget that direction them until the end.

This guide helped me out a ton, thanks man!

amazing video, just started poe two wks ago and there was a lot of things I didnt know 🙏

Regarding the Kirac Missions: The maps that Kirac sells reset every time you do a Kirac Mission, so you can use Kirac Missions to support your Atlas progression.

Damn how i wish this video existed when i began my adventure with POE...

Palsteron said miss me with that top 10 video TPB, I got 100 for you. Thank you Pal

Number 16 was also changed in crucial league, vendors no longer reset on level up, they will persist for a few levels now. Items now persist in a Vendors' shops for multiple levels, so that you have a chance to buy them before they vanish. Each time you level up, the oldest items are removed and some new ones are added. You can also now rarely find Rare items at Vendors.

Amazing video, i'll recommand when friends join poe in the future. Also thanks for the manacost tip, that should be enough for me to use the blessing. Learnt that enchantment can be crafted in the table, that saves a lot of clicking, thx for that too

Poe is amazingly complex. Despite being a beta veteran with over 15k hours played, today i learned that rogue trinkets can have incubators and can work for mapping. I mean i've been maining both legion and heist since they came out, so I dont know how I managed to overlook this interaction for years. This is good stuff Palsteron. I hope you one day make a dedicated list of advanced tips focused on the most obscure aspects of the game.

"Unless you want to wear glasses when you're 40". Man, you really had to kick me while down. 42, played 11k hours on this, and I just got my first prescription, lol. Also, about 41, one thing that people don't look at is 'you cannot take reflected damage' sextants, which rolls quite a lot. I agree, try not to do reflect maps, but for something like SSF, and you corrupt a map to get completion and it rerolls to reflect, there are options for that.

This has been a game changer thank you.

2 Tips That I may add specially for experienced players: - You can buy items with " + level of all ...gems" from NPC even in act 1 for just 1 transmute, Might not be for speed runners but it gives a lot of power boost for spell casters. You can search in NPC trade "level of all" then it will highlight the item| side note both Wand seller NPC and Weapon Seller NPC sells items with this mod (Nessa & Tarkleigh in act 1) - In addition to tip 90 - You can Copy an item from trade to check power boost on your character by pressing the + icon on lower left when hovering on the image on trade.

Awesome upload man! Thanks!

As a veteran player there's some new things I learned from this video. Good work as it helps the community out so much!

Very thorough. Excellent stuff @Palsteron.

Great video and tips! Also really well timed before the league start and when new players are joining

#1 The literal opposite happened to me. I followed a build guide my first time because that's what everyone told me to do (it was a toxic rain build), but I did not enjoy the game. I was getting far, I got into yellow maps effortlessly, but I did not understand the intricacies of how the game works or why my build was effective, my brain was just doing what the build told me to do without putting a second thought into it, after all, it was working, why question it? But what use is the boundless complexity and the sandbox of different systems in this game if I'm not going to mentally engage with any of it? I felt no reward, no accomplishment, no sense of engagement with the game. Later on, a year later, I tried playing on my own, and instead of following a build guide, I learned Path of Building, and later on learned to filter characters in PoE Ninja to get an idea of how other players were playing the stuff I *chose* to use. That was a mind blowing experience, and immensely more rewarding. That is when I fell in love with the game, and could see the complexity as a boon rather than a hostile obstacle to overcome. PoB taught me the mechanics of the game, taught me how different things interacted with each other, and PoE Ninja pointed me in the right path when I had doubts on where I should take my character. My first couple of characters were not that great, but they were functional, I got into red maps, I had IMMENSE fun with the game, and pretty much half of that time was spent outside it, theorycrafting things in PoB, which was fun in and on itself. AFTER going through those first few characters, something interesting happened. I looked at build guides and I started *understanding* them, beyond a template to copy. I then started using build guides and enjoying the game even more. Like I said, the opposite, the complete other way around. I had to learn the game *before* I got enjoyment out of using build guides. I realize I'm not "most people", I realize most people want results first, and worry about the process later, because today's world is all about efficiency and minmaxing your time. But I thought I'd post it to show that this is not a 100% rule, I'm certain there are others who would much rather find reward and satisfaction in learning the game from the ground up (PoB, wiki, poe ninja, lots of research, lots of trial and error) BEFORE they succeed at it, even if that means bricking a few characters and starting over, but with newfound knowledge that will get you further and further each time. If that process sounds frustrating to you, follow a build guide, but if it sounds fun, give it a second thought. I also think if you are like me and enjoy theorycrafting and learning mechanics and game systems, this game will be one of the best you'll ever play.

37:11 concerning #95 about buying things and no one responding: recently works but what I found to really increase my chances is look for anyone NOT from the US/UK. The other countries are more likely to be bots or playing in PC bangs.

Thanks for the info. Did not know about the harvest resists that should be helpful.

dude your work is very appreciated

Someone has probably already seen it but on tip 54 you had the same description then on tip 55. Both were called "Stash Tab Affinities". Besides that. Thank you very much for the video. :)

Thanks for the video!

37:54 thanks for the divine resistance trick! Didn't know that 💓

I leared 4 new things and some of the things were a good reminder of stuff I could improve on. This is a great source for new-ish players. 👍

This video is so helpful. Thanks!

Großartig. Das war viel Arbeit. Zuerst dachte ich: Naja, nach mehr als 10 Jahren POE, was soll da kommen? Aber es war natürlich doch was dabei. Grüße aus dem Norden Deutschlands.

just learned about #47 and #98 it's game changing, ty bro

Thought I would know everything but you got me with right clicking the map to locate it on the atlas. Also it's important to remember that binding orb always makes 4 sockets if the item allows it, so you could ruin your 5 or 6 link with it.

wow, I did not know about ctrl-clicking vendors, mass-favouriting maps, right-clicking a map to zoom in on the atlas, or removing shrine effects. thank you!

Thanks for the vid. Some of these were way over my head, but the direct click on NPC for their immediate window is solid gold! Ugh, no more "God slayer..." quotes! Thanks!

I didn’t follow a build guide first time. I quit. I followed a build guide this time. PoE is now my favorite game

thank you for this!!!

I did NOT know about 71!!!! Thank you for this!!

Insane work! After 10 years of playing this game i still didn`t know a couple of things)

I thought I would know all of these but I didnt know about the beast craft/item level thing awesome stuff for newer players for sure!

Palsteron! Amazing video bro, you answered so many questions and many ah-ha moments throughout. Your TR Path Ballista build guide was the very first POE video I watched almost 3 months ago. I remember about 6 minutes in you lost me with all the terminology and stuff I'd never heard of. 100 hours of /played later and I have watched that video at least 4-5 times. Even with this one I was able to follow you for most of it. Lost me a little with the divergent/anomalous gem stuff. I guess I'm just saying thank you for the content and how awesome POE is in that you learn over time. It's like speaking a new language. Keep doing your thing!

Nice! Thanks a lot!

For #3 I always link a skill to the left mouse such as bone armor you can do many different ones that will cast that skill continuously as it cools down very useful steel skin is another one

great video, there is always something to remember

small nitpick, for the chaos recipe only one of the items has to be in the chaos recipe item level range, the other ones can be even higher ilvl but not lower. this is good to know because higher ilvl items turn into a regal orb recipe but you also dont want to farm white maps all day just for the chaos recipe so just do higher lvl maps and keep a few lower ilvl pieces around.

Yep Diablo, Tip 3 is for you!! Nice video!

thanks, great video :) you could add "Clicking the portal icon" (little blue one) when going for a trade with other players, that just easier then right click the left click :)

About number 41 with the Reflection mods on maps, if you play Slayer or Elementalist you will have the choice in your Ascendancy to skill full reflect immunity for either Elemental or physical reflect immunity (Slayer can give himself Phys ref. immunity and Elementalist Elemental ref. immunity) that can make mapping at the start MUCH MORE relaxing because you dont need to watch the map mods that hard again, note though that if you play a slayer that goes for elemental damage you can still one shot yourself with elemental reflect.

#84 is massive for me. Had no idea you could input number (quickly), whenever I tried it I was always too slow but I swore I saw some video with someone getting it to work but I never could. Harvest juice is a PITA to sort with the slider omg

no 35 is very valuable. the only 1 i didn't know about. deserved a like.

to add on with tip 94 if you have a ton of jewelers and not that many chroms an easier method might be to jeveler it to 1 socket, make that red then craft on 1 and 1 socket with the bench until you have 4

I currently use smoke mine for increased movement speed and I also put the detonate on my left click so I am constantly throwing them and clicking to move while detonating and increasing my movement speed.

Damnnn i learnt 2 things. Surprisingly. The favoured maps click thing. And the alternate quality gamba has weighting

I've been playing a long time and I actually didn't know a couple of these!

Bro its amazing video with amazing effort thx :) Which build is at the beginning of the video?

amazing job, i learnt one :)

wow, amazing bro!!

Ad. 80 There is a tool Poe Trade Companion. It will show you trade messages and enable you to bind prewritten messages like Thanks, Please Wait etc. And display overlay gui. Great stuff

"Put bloom all the way down to 25% unless you want to wear glasses once you're 40." I just turned 40 and got glasses only 2 years ago. GGG DID THIS TO ME!

Yay am a poe buff. Only one i didn't knew was the shrine thing. Good to know ty!

2.5k hours and I didn't know tip 77 29:32 that you can horizon Shaper maps. Holy f-. Also grouping by seller, and seems I wasn't clear on flask stacking either, that was a good read after your tip. Thanks!

Insane work

Thanks, great video.

No 35 is rly important guys and you shouldnt ignore the golden hand in act 2

WOW ! Thanks !

Thanks for the videos ! Please what's the build name you're using in the intro please?

holy shit, 740 hours clocked in without knowing you can ctrl+click lilly to open the sell window. You are my godsend.

Thanx, bro. Nice video.

thanks, i've learned some

Tip 41 can be neglected if you run a DoT only build such as Righteous Fire. Reflect only procs on Hits, no DoTs. not sure about AoE Damage though

good video, thanks Pal

Thank you, perfect job as usual Sir! I got 6 new after thousands of hours

I spent about 50-60 hours playing month or two after initial release and got hooked into playing HC with friends on Diablo 2. Kinda regret it, but also not because good friends are hard to come by Amir? However, that time away, playing game styles I've never played before like Heroes of the Storm and WoW, really improved my kiting ability and map awareness. Now that I have more tools/ideas in the box, this game is, well...a wet dream for those that want replayability and variety. I know you know this....because this kind of content takes thousands of hours of gameplay. I truly appreciate the efficiency.

These are awesome. But I am dont know if I should be happy or sad that I already seem to know most of these, a lot of the smart ones like diving resistances from just thinking about it

great video, thank you very much! wonder how many people use the vorici chrome calc, but have no clue why it is called after a random betrayal guy :D

For tipp #73 u see the map cometion in the map tab by the glowing bar under the map aswell don't even need to check/have a map

thanks for the video. Did you update Toxic Rain Ballista Pathfinder in league 3.22 ,pls ?

Im gonna run tr pf, balista most probably. Keep it up🎉

I agree with number 1, however, before going into a build guide, try playing the game without any help, see if you even like it, when i first started, i started playing without knowing anything, i got to act 6 and then couldnt go any further because i didnt understand resistances, only after having fun and getting to that point, i felt i wanted to really dive into the game, thats when i was searching all over for more info and what to do. I feel this is a good way of starting out if you are brand new.

Awesome!

Nice vid. Can we get an updated Manaforged Arrow build. Absolutely loved your build last league.

good stuff lad

im 4k hours deep and some of these are really usefull, ty pal great video

Solid format. Where was this two years ago xd

Copying a item to put in POB is very nice to see how much damage or defence you get, what I wish for would be something that can copy from trade and put it on Craf lt of exile to see exactly what can you craft on that item.

I did not know 37, that's so helpful
