Whether you’re just beginning your adventure in Path of Exile or are a seasoned veteran, there are several official and third-party tools available to utilize that drastically enhance your gaming experience while you explore Wraeclast.
Out of the hundreds of resources, I’ve selected out six in particular that have helped me on my road from full PoE newbie, and each site or program has a distinct location and function along the route.
The six must-have sites and applications for PoE
FilterBlade: Item Filter
The first thing I do once I generate a new character for the current PoE league is change my item filter, and I (and many others) utilize FilterBlade. While picking up every object you come across is highly crucial early in the game, as you get to mapping, your screen will be cluttered with meaningless rubbish that clogs your inventory and stockpile.
That’s where FilterBlade comes in. The tool enables you set an item filter to just show the gear and cash you want while concealing everything else so you won’t need to bother about cleaning up the garbage. It’s quite straightforward to install and includes several accessibility features for easy visibility.
PoE Trade: Trade House
No, there’s no one trading house to meet gamers in PoE—but I’d say the official PoE trading site is highly straightforward and filled with options enabling you to trade for precisely what you need.
From those desiring a million Chromatic Orbs (that’s me) to an identical six-link armor piece with flawless tier-one modifications (also me), you’re guaranteed to discover what you’re after on PoE Trade and after a few clicks, you’ll be in the seller’s hideaway and trading for the item of your dreams.
Path of Building Community: Build and item generator
On the surface, the Path of Building Community app is just as frightening as PoE’s passive tree, but you should learn to know how to utilize it inside and out.
You’re able to import your equipment and build right into the app, then from there, go crazy with tweaks and item creation to make the exact build you desire. It’s a strong program that I utilize, particularly later into a league when I want to improve or min-max my builds.
Poe.ninja: Ultimate build and pricing tool
Need a little construction inspiration? Do you want to examine the highest DPS builds in the league? Perhaps you only need to examine the average price of a currency? Poe.Ninja is there for you.
You may sign in and connect your account to examine and compare your construction to your peers. Perhaps someone is pulling a bit more efficiency out of the same skill gem setup as you? Poe.Ninja has you covered and should be a webpage you keep open in a browser alongside the game in case you need to check anything.
Craft of Exile: Item maker and emulator
We’ve touched on builds, but if you’re comfortable with your gems and setup, it’s time to max out your character with gear. Craft of Exile works like Path of Building Community; download the software, then plug in stuff and modifications and discover exactly how strong your character can become with the greatest equipment.
Again, it’s not a tool I care about early during my character’s league run, but as the endgame approaches and I begin mapping, it sits beside Path of Building Community so I can immediately put in any great stuff I uncover. To be able to examine specific mod rolls and crafts is really crucial.
Grinding.Zone: All-in-one additional PoE tools
Did we miss anything crucial with this list? Are you seeking to search for further materials or perhaps a little bit of a dive into the lore? Check out grinding.zone, which contains an all-in-one website with connections to a plethora of helpful resources like the official PoE Wiki, dates and timings for forthcoming events and leagues, and many more critical cheat sheets you’ll need to optimize your potential in PoE.
