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

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!

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. ❤

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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

#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.

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 :)

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

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.

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!

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

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

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
