Path of Exile 2 is packed with features that many players overlook. This guide covers the most useful hidden tricks, quality of POE2 Currency life improvements, and advanced mechanics that will make your gameplay smoother and more efficient.
Trade Site Secrets
The trade site has several powerful features that are easy to miss. You can press Alt+Shift and click on any item to automatically search for that item by its stats. This is incredibly useful for pricing items or finding similar upgrades. The search can be over-specific at times, but you can remove unwanted modifiers to narrow down your results.
For even more precise searching, use the "filter by item stats" button on any item listing. This populates all the item's stats into the search filters, allowing you to adjust them as needed. This is especially valuable when searching for unique items with wide roll ranges, like Headhunter, where you want specific stat combinations.
If you find an item you are considering buying, you can use the "copy item" button to copy its stats to your clipboard. Then open Path of Building, go to the items tab, and press Ctrl+V to paste it in. This lets you check the exact DPS difference between your current weapon and a potential upgrade before you spend your currency.
When searching for items, you can set the buyout price filter to only show listings in currency types you actually have, such as Divine Orbs or Chaos Orbs. This helps you avoid listings priced in annoying currencies like annulments or thousands of exalts. If you encounter a problematic seller, you can click the ignore button to hide their listings. You can manage your ignore list by clicking the X next to a name or using the clear ignore list button.
The in-game trade site can be accessed by typing /trade in chat. This brings up the trade market interface where you can browse and buy items without leaving the game.
Currency Exchange Shortcuts
The currency exchange has several keyboard shortcuts that save time. You can Ctrl+click Alva to open the exchange window immediately. Once open, Ctrl+click items to put them in the "I have" section, and Ctrl+Shift+click to put them in the "I want" section. You can also Ctrl+click either side to swap the currencies around.
While you normally cannot open your stash and the currency exchange at the same time, there is a workaround. Place Alva next to your stash, click your stash, and just as you reach it, quickly click Alva. Then click currency exchange, close it, and you can now Ctrl+click or Ctrl+Shift+click everything you want to sell directly from your stash.
Vendor and Disenchant Tricks
Every vendor has specific functions that can be accessed quickly. Ctrl+click a vendor to bring up their primary function, such as disenchant for vendors that offer it. Alt+click brings up their buy/sell window. For vendors with multiple functions like Alva, Ctrl+click opens the currency exchange, Alt+click opens the gamble window, and Ctrl+Alt+click opens the merchant tab to view your sales.
You can identify all items quickly at the Hooded One or Doryani by Ctrl+clicking them. Vendor inventories partially refresh every time your character levels up, making it worth checking during the campaign for potential upgrades.
When disenchanting, selling one perfect currency item gives you three of the lower tier, and selling one greater currency gives you three normal currency items. If you have a tame beast gem with a captured beast, you can disenchant it to get back a clean gem, allowing you to capture a new beast.
Stash Tab Management
Stash tab affinities automatically send items to their appropriate tabs when you Ctrl+click them. You can enable these by clicking stash options and enabling tab affinities, then right-clicking a tab to set its affinity. Even normal premium tabs can have affinities set, so you do not need the special tabs to use this feature.
If you want to ignore affinities and put an item into a specific tab, Ctrl+Shift+click instead. This is useful when tracking currency from a specific farming strategy. You can also Ctrl+right-click to send all items of that type into your stash, or take them out the same way.
To organize your tabs quickly, right-click a tab and choose "move to top" to push it straight up. You can also click and drag to rearrange tabs, or click and scroll to move through a large list faster. Folders allow you to Path of Exile 2 Currency group related tabs together. Click create new folder, name it by right-clicking, and drag tabs into it.
