Path of Exile 2 can be daunting for new players. These 10 tips will help you get started on your journey through Wraeclast:
Use the Minimap Overlay
Press Tab to bring up the minimap overlay. This helps you navigate the randomized areas and avoid getting lost.
Reset Instances to Refresh Areas
Use CTRL + Left Click on a waypoint to access the instance manager. This allows you to reset an area or join a specific instance, which is helpful for playing with friends.
Manage Your Inventory
Inventory space is limited. Frequently return to town to sell items. Use CTRL + Left Click to quickly sell items to vendors or store them in your stash.
Gamble for Better Gear
Use your gold to gamble for new gear at vendors. This can be a great way to find rare items early on.
Identify Items for Free
Identifying items increases their sell value. Talk to The Hooded One in Act 1 to identify your entire inventory for free.
Upgrade Your Flasks
Regularly check for larger life and mana flasks as you play. These provide more charges and healing/mana restoration.
Prioritize Survivability
Focus on defensive stats like armor, evasion, or block, especially for melee classes.
Invest in an Escape Skill
Equip an escape skill to help you get out of tricky situations when surrounded by enemies.
Use Armor-Piercing Abilities
Include at least one armor-piercing skill in your build to deal with armored enemies effectively.
Spend Your Skill Gems and Upgrade Materials
Don't hoard skill gems and upgrade materials. Use them to improve your gear and learn about the game's mechanics.
