Overview

This video provides a comprehensive guide to common mistakes and useful tips for Path of Exile 1, aimed at both new and experienced players. It covers a wide range of topics, including game mechanics like "increased vs. more" modifiers, item levels, socketing and linking, Atlas of Worlds strategies, vendor recipes, critical hit mechanics, and differences for players transitioning from Path of Exile 2.

Key takeaways

• Increased vs. More Modifiers: "More" and "less" modifiers are generally more impactful than "increased" and "reduced" modifiers, with a key exception when reducing values below 100%.
• Item Levels: Item levels dictate the possible explicit modifiers an item can roll, with level 86 often being the functional cap, and are crucial for determining the maximum number of sockets.
• Socketing and Linking: Sockets must be linked to function, and obtaining five or six links requires a plan, as RNG is not reliable. Six-socketed items have a higher chance of yielding five or six links than five-socketed items.
• Campaign Tips: Utilize the /passives command to track skill point quests, upgrade weapons frequently for attack builds, and leverage the crafting bench for power.
• Atlas of Worlds: Buy maps from Kiraak, especially after unlocking his mission notable on the Atlas passive tree. Use the three-to-one map vendor recipe strategically by checking combinations before committing.
• Vendor Recipes: Several vendor recipes offer significant early-game power, such as the physical damage weapon recipe and the movement speed boots recipe.
• Path of Exile 2 Differences: Players transitioning from POE2 should note that damage conversion, the value of exalted orbs, the importance of supplementary defense layers, and the impact of gem levels differ significantly.
• Metamods: Metamods are powerful crafting bench options that enable advanced crafting techniques like isolation crafting, but they do not work with fossils or essences.
