You cant buy items or anything like that, but you will need stash tabs.

Even after months of playing the game and leveling several characters and classes theres still a ton of stuff I need to learn.

I still remember how some basics were extremely confusing for me when I started playing PoE so I decided to make a list of things I think new players might find useful to know.

Its by no means a comprehensive list but I still hope you find it helpful.

I know we all want more damage but in Path of Exile building a glass-cannon character simply doesnt work in endgame.

A majority of your points usually need to be in defensive talents, because simply put a dead character isnt dealing any damage.

Additionally having 3 or more support gems linked to your main damaging ability will immensely increase your DPS.

Most gems with less than 12 quality are best to simply sell to vendors (in bulk for Prism, not single).

The recipe works the same way as other quality items: sell gems with a combined quality of 40 and youll get a Prism.

Anything over 12 quality should be either used by you or traded to other players.

I know its tempting to turn those useless white items into rare (yellow) ones when youre level 30 or 40 but you will out-level them very quickly.

Orbs of Alchemy and Chaos Orbs are much better used for high-end items so save them, you will need every single one.

A good example is the aforementioned Quality gems: high-level characters often prey on lowbies in Normal difficulty and try to buy out their gems for Alchemy Orbs.

If a gem is 6 quality or less you can trade it away for an Alchemy Orb, but anything above that is more valuable (look above at tip 2).

Check out some of the trading sites like poe.xyz.is or poexplorer.com and search for an item with similar stats to yours to get an idea of how much it could be worth.

All of them can be traded for higher valued currency items and once you figure out what their value is youll start probably need as many as you can get your hands on.

In fact even Wisdom Scrolls can be traded, but if youre building a high MF character you might even need to buy them off of other players.

Once you get your hands on a 6-linked item you might end up spending hundreds of Chromatic Orbs to get the socket colors you want.

They are extremely valuable and hard to come by and best used on the highest quality gear, or even traded for decent items.

Even though Chromatics are fairly easy to come by chances are you will need a lot of them, and of course you can trade them for something more useful if you have extra.

Never forget to pick up items with 6 sockets (even white ones), and you better click like a madman when you see one with 5 or 6 linked sockets.

Path of Exile was built for playing in groups so take advantage of it.

If you need advice on where to grind experience read my leveling guide.

If youre having trouble picking up your own loot in groups and hate ninjas just find a group with Permanent loot allocation, or create your own.
