“Don’t Worry, You’ll Get Through It” Path of Exile 2 Community Offers Their Best Tips

Path of Exile 2 dropped on December 6 and caused quite a commotion. Even though it’s still in early access, this game has had quite a successful first weekend. At one point in time, more than 500k players were playing concurrently. A lot of players also mean a lot of different approaches and different strategies. So, if you are getting stuck, you might want to try out some of the best tips that the Path of Exile 2 players have offered. Who knows, maybe you’ll stumble upon something that will completely change your approach.

If You Are Getting Stuck, You Might Need Some Tips

One devoted player, throwntosaturn, took to Reddit, wishing to help out fellow players. They noted: “This is just a really fast collection of things you can do very quickly – within an hour – to solve pain points you are experiencing or get some smoother flow to everything. If you do all of these things, your experience should improve dramatically”. The OP shared 8 tips that should transform your gameplay.

Some Very Good Tips to Get You Started

1. “If you are stuck, don’t just grind on that map”. The OP suggested going back two or so monster levels, to an open layout. Once there, re-clear it a couple of times. According to the OP: “You can load a new instance by shift-clicking on the waypoint when you warp there”.
2. Transmutation Orbs and Augmentation Orbs. Even though they are fairly common, they are quite valuable for solving some problems. The OP stated: “The best way to use them is to identify the item slots you want to “work on” and then pick up all the white and blue drops that match your criteria for that item slot. You trans all of these and you aug any one that only has one affix”.
3. “Most rares don’t actually have more than 2 or 3 good affixes”.
4. “Skill gem levels are extremely important, don’t let yourself fall behind. If you’re a weapon-based character, similarly, weapon upgrades are really important”.
5. “Raw life and resistances are really good now, because the skill tree has relatively little defensive value – if you’re dying it’s probably because your gear is bad”.
6. “The type of gear you’re wearing does really matter. If you’re investing in armor on the skill tree, your gear needs to have armor on it. If you’ve got a half dozen Energy Shield nodes, you really really need to equip armor that actually has ES on it”.
7. “Vendors refresh every level up. Keep about 5k gold per act as your bank – don’t ever spend below this. I recommend using a VERY SIMPLE regex”.
8. The loot tab. “Using an empty bank tab, just huck your whole inventory into that. Repeat two or three times, until the tab is mostly full. Then you can run the regex just like you were looking at a vendor tab”.

Path of Exile 2 Players Share Advice

Of course, other Path of Exile 2 players gladly chirped in with their favorite tips. Given that so many players have been enjoying this game, we truly believe there is something for anyone.

GarlyleWilds noted: “My number one tip is Dodge roll less. It’s not an omnitool or a get-out-of-jail-free card. It will help you with projectiles, and it will help you if you are diving out of the way of an AoE and might not make it in time. But that’s mostly it”.

Mental_Garden stated: “So far, I find life regen to be very helpful, even a small amount of it. But, it won’t save you. My other thing would be to play around with shock/armor break/stun”.

The one advice that we’d always give is to explore the map. It might sound time-consuming, but you can find random chests around a map, and you can also progress a bit faster. So, take your time, enjoy, and hopefully, you found some of these tips helpful.
